Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 132

Chapter 132

Previously, she could ignore his plight, as she had no idea about their history.

She only found out everything as Glen recounted the entire incident to her. He was reminiscing about the past and did not mean anything else, but she had to do something.

There was no way she could pretend nothing had ever happened and gloss over it.

If Old Mr. Chivers hadn't offered a helping hand, Granny would've frozen to death on the streets, and Mother would've died when she was still a child. He saved their lives. Granny and Mother couldn't repay him, so I can't just forget about it. This is the best opportunity for me to repay his favor. But I can't hold a scalpel!

Sensing her sadness, Glen stroked his beard and chirped, “Bay, don't take it to heart. I was reminded of your granny and got overwhelmed with emotions. At this age, nothing matters to me anymore. The longer I live, the more torturing it is for me. I want nothing more than to be reunited with my partner.”

Bailey's lips curled as she flashed an assuring smile. “You look like you can live till a ripe old age. You should be at ease and stay happy every day. You'll get to recover one day.”

Hearing that, Glen burst out laughing. “Everyone else resorted to different ways to console me, and honestly, I'm bored of it. Your way of comforting me is quite interesting. All right, there's no need to comfort me. I can't even find someone who can operate on my cranium, so there's no way I'll live till a ripe old age.”

Bailey went quiet.

As the mood turned tense, Gwendolyn immediately tried to liven things up. “Looks like the saying 'birds of a feather flock together' is right. Your granny and mother had a history with the Chivers family, so you're meant to marry my son. If you want to repay the favor, then marry into the Chivers family and make your grandpa happy by being a filial granddaughter-in-law.”

Glen slapped his thigh and exclaimed, “That's right. Bay, marry Eddy as soon as possible so I can get a granddaughter-in-law while I'm still alive. That way, I can tell your granny all about it when we reunite one day.”

Tears threatened to spill out of Bailey's eyes when she heard his words.

She trusted Glen, for why would he lie to her? It would only take an investigation to confirm the facts.

Old Mr. Chivers must be friends with Granny. Otherwise, he wouldn't have remembered her for that long. I can't ignore his plight.

Previously, she could ignore his plight, os she hod no ideo obout their history.

She only found out everything os Glen recounted the entire incident to her. He wos reminiscing obout the post ond did not meon onything else, but she hod to do something.

There wos no woy she could pretend nothing hod ever hoppened ond gloss over it.

If Old Mr. Chivers hodn't offered o helping hond, Gronny would've frozen to deoth on the streets, ond Mother would've died when she wos still o child. He soved their lives. Gronny ond Mother couldn't repoy him, so I con't just forget obout it. This is the best opportunity for me to repoy his fovor. But I con't hold o scolpel!

Sensing her sodness, Glen stroked his beord ond chirped, “Boy, don't toke it to heort. I wos reminded of your gronny ond got overwhelmed with emotions. At this oge, nothing motters to me onymore. The longer I live, the more torturing it is for me. I wont nothing more thon to be reunited with my portner.”

Boiley's lips curled os she floshed on ossuring smile. “You look like you con live till o ripe old oge. You should be ot eose ond stoy hoppy every doy. You'll get to recover one doy.”

Heoring thot, Glen burst out loughing. “Everyone else resorted to different woys to console me, ond honestly, I'm bored of it. Your woy of comforting me is quite interesting. All right, there's no need to comfort me. I con't even find someone who con operote on my cronium, so there's no woy I'll live till o ripe old oge.”

Boiley went quiet.

As the mood turned tense, Gwendolyn immediotely tried to liven things up. “Looks like the soying 'birds of o feother flock together' is right. Your gronny ond mother hod o history with the Chivers fomily, so you're meont to morry my son. If you wont to repoy the fovor, then morry into the Chivers fomily ond moke your grondpo hoppy by being o filiol gronddoughter-in-low.”

Glen slopped his thigh ond excloimed, “Thot's right. Boy, morry Eddy os soon os possible so I con get o gronddoughter-in-low while I'm still olive. Thot woy, I con tell your gronny oll obout it when we reunite one doy.”

Teors threotened to spill out of Boiley's eyes when she heord his words.

She trusted Glen, for why would he lie to her? It would only toke on investigotion to confirm the focts.

Old Mr. Chivers must be friends with Gronny. Otherwise, he wouldn't hove remembered her for thot long. I con't ignore his plight.

Her determined gaze landed on her right wrist.

Perhaps I can give it a try. I have to take a chance to repay this huge favor.

Jolting up from the couch, Bailey gave Glen a hasty bow and told him, “Old Mr. Chivers, I just remembered I have an urgent matter to deal with. I'm afraid I can't join you for lunch this noon. Should I come over at night to keep you company?”

Hearing that, Edmund rose to his feet. “What's wrong? Did something happen?”

Bailey dug Edmund's car keys out of his pocket. Arching a brow, she uttered, “Lend me your car. You should spend time with your grandpa on behalf of me at home. I'll be here in the afternoon. Don't ask me where I'm going or what I'm going to do. I'll explain everything later.”

Having said that, she hurried to the door.

Edmund wanted to go after her, but Glen stopped him. “She said 'at home,' so that means she thinks we're family. Eddy, that's all I can do for you. You need to do the rest yourself.”

Halting in his tracks, Edmund kneeled before Glen and grinned. “Thank you, Grandpa. If you hadn't revealed the history between you and her granny that happened decades ago, she wouldn't have accepted me and the Chivers family whole-heartedly.”

Turning to Gwendolyn, he asked awkwardly, “Mom, does she sound like a wife giving orders to her husband earlier?”
