Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 1107

Chapter 1107 A Lesson Learned

Her smile was rather displeasing to the eye, like a thorn soaked in poison, slowly corroding her flesh and blood.

To Bailey, if Artemis didn't explain himself, she could only make blind guesses, which greatly increased the chance of misunderstanding.

But she couldn't really be blamed for that. After all, the man had never said a word about it.

Even if she misunderstood him, he deserved it.

Rebecca said, "We bathed together, enjoyed wine together, lay on the rocking chair, and admired the moon together. We did everything together. Ms. Jefferson, you're a smart woman. Don't you already know what my relationship with him is? If a man is willing to do all this for a woman, it should be enough to prove that they adore each other."

"Enough." A deep voice echoed from the spiral staircase.

The imposter Artemis descended slowly, one hand clutching his shoulder, the other resting on the handrail, his steps weak and unsteady.

"Bailey, even though Rebecca and I were not fully clothed, nothing actually happened. Don't be stubborn and make a fuss. I've said it before, Rebecca and I are just friends. There's no romantic involvement between us. Stop harping on about this."

Bailey chuckled, a hint of melancholy in her expression.

"I didn't expect that one night wouldn't be enough for you to think things through clearly. Since that's the case, I can't be bothered to pursue it any further. Since you two share a romantic history, why not get back together? Although I may be a bit assertive, I'm still sensible. In the past six months, Artemis has indeed been mine, but it still doesn't compare to the years you two have spent together. I think I can step aside for you two."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked toward the exit.

Upon receiving Ken's suggestive glance, the imposter Artemis quickly rushed forward to grab Bailey's arm.

"Bay, listen to me. I—"

Bailey abruptly shook him off and strode toward the door. "Cameron, come with me. Let's not disturb others."

The commotion in the main house instantly alerted all the servants in the manor, who quickly flocked into the courtyard.

Everyone saw Bailey walking ahead, with the imposter Artemis chasing after her.

Perhaps his movements were too vigorous, causing his wound to tear open. Fresh blood seeped into his white shirt, forming a prominent stain.

As he kept walking, he began to feel his strength wane, causing his steps to gradually slow down.

Rebecca quickly moved to steady his faltering frame. "She's so cold-hearted and untrusting toward you. Why do you still insist on tolerating her scorn?"

He was once so proud. How could he lower himself so much for a heartless woman?

That is his dignity, something he has always cherished. Yet now, he has given it all up for a woman.

With that thought, she steeled herself and yelled at Bailey's retreating figure, "That's right. Mr. Luther and I slept together last night. He is my man now. Bailey, as you leave so freely today, I hope you can maintain this openness in the future. Don't continue to pester him."

With an air of indifference, the imposter Artemis shrugged her off and turned around to return to the living room under the watchful eyes of the servants.

Ken shouted at the butler at the side, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get a doctor! Can't you see that Mr. Luther's wound has torn open?"

"Yes, yes, I'm on it."

Rebecca stood still, glancing in the direction Bailey had left, then toward the living room of the main house. A trace of confusion flickered in her eyes.

Is the relationship between Artemis and Bailey so fragile?

Not to mention that nothing happened between us last night, even if something did happen, it was only under circumstances where we had no other choice.

Is Bailey really so heartless, not even giving him a chance to explain, and directly severing all emotional ties with him?

No, that's not right. There must be more to the story.

Rather than believing the two had completely fallen out, she seemed more inclined to think that this was all just a play they were putting on.
