Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 1116

Chapter 1116 Reconciliation

As Bailey was about to sit up, Artemis suddenly rolled over.

Surprised, she instinctively covered her belly. "Artemis, what are you doing? You're squishing the baby."

"I'm not." Artemis positioned his hands on either side of her body, trying to avoid putting weight on her. "This trick really works. It actually got you talking. If I had known this, I would have used it from the start."

Bailey reached out to push him, squirming restlessly.

Artemis held her wrist and whispered ambiguously in her ear. "Such enthusiasm, is it because you want something?"

Bailey bit his shoulder with enough strength to make him grunt.

However, he continued to lean close to her ear, his warm breath fanning against it. "Men tend to have greater needs in the morning. If you don't want to be bothered by me... Behave yourself."

Bailey gradually ceased her struggle and suddenly grabbed the collar of his clothes. She declared, "The child in my belly is yours."

Artemis smiled. "I know. You don't need to explain. My sense of pride comes from within."

Does he think that's what I'm trying to say? Hmph. Bailey spat, "What I mean is, don't use force to intimidate me. Even if you bully me, in the end, it's your own offspring who will get hurt."

Artemis' brows softened. His gaze swept over her flat belly. Then, he turned over and held her close, leaning against the head of the bed. "Bay, let's have a chat."

Bailey, with a stern expression, was not willing to back down. She threw off the covers, ready to leave the bed. "There's nothing for us to discuss."

Artemis tightened his arm around her waist and whispered softly, "There are still many things we can discuss, such as the past incidents of Interpol suppressing the Saviors."

Upon hearing that, Bailey exploded. "Let go of me."

"I won't let go." Artemis held her tightly, his voice hoarse. "I know where I went wrong. My mistake was that I'd rather let you misunderstand my involvement with Rebecca than tell you about the identity of The Exterminator. I must admit, I had pictured you as somewhat unreasonable, assuming you'd hold a grudge against me once you found out I am The Exterminator. However, in reality, you understand the bigger picture. There's no way you would've blamed me for suppressing the Saviors all those years ago."
