Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 195

Chapter 195

Glen walked from the entrance to the front with Edmund's help.

Gerald, Yoel, and their wives followed behind with Artemis and Simon at the back.

“Old Mr. Chivers looks much better. I'm sure he'll live a long life.”

“You're right. Anonymous is indeed a marvelous physician. She effortlessly cured the man of the disease that had plagued him for years.”

“No matter how you put it, we're all family. Ms. Bailey had already given birth to a son and a daughter for Mr. Simon, so there's no doubt she'll marry into the Luther family. Congratulations on your beautiful grandchildren, Old Mr. Chivers.”

Simon could not help but roll his eyes when he heard all the bootlicking. What did they mean there was no doubt she would marry into my family? Have I agreed to marry her already?

Glen then lifted his left hand to interrupt the pleasantries.

“Thank you, everyone, for your concern and kind wishes. I appreciate that you took the time to attend my granddaughter's coming-of-age ceremony, so I extend the warmest welcome to you on behalf of the Luthers and my family. You're right. That's not the only reason we're all here today because I have a wedding to announce.”

The crowd burst into cheers as soon as they heard that.

“Old Mr. Chivers, are you going to announce the marriage of Mr. Simon and Ms. Bailey now?”

“That's not right. The eldest son must marry before the younger one. Old Mr. Chivers' probably announcing the marriage of Artemis and Rhonda.”

“If Old Mr. Chivers wills it, maybe there'll be a wedding for both the Jefferson sisters and the Luther brothers. Imagine what a party that'll be!”

“The Jefferson sisters have both given birth to sons for the Luthers, so their weddings should be equally important.”

Instead of Artemis or Simon, Edmund was the one who broke into a smirk while the crowd continued with their discussion.

Bailey, too, had the same expression on her face.

Edmund was convinced that Glen had decided to have him marry Bailey and to announce their marriage despite the public's opinions.

With his head lowered, Artemis repeatedly clenched and loosened his fists as if to show how tense he was.

Even though the man warned and forbade Bailey from marrying Edmund, she was not someone who would just listen to him mindlessly.

Artemis dared not imagine what would happen if the woman were to accept Edmund's proposal in front of so many people that day.

Hence, the man decided not to let that happen.

Bailey was also getting anxious as she considered fleeing the scene to avoid the repercussion of Glen's bold move. When Edmund gets down on one knee, should I accept or reject him? There's only one way to escape this predicament, and that's to disappear before the hammer falls.

Just when everyone was still deep in their own thoughts, they suddenly heard the host's resounding voice from the stage.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come! Please return to your seats because our party is about to start. The star of the evening is more than ready to meet everyone, so shall we put our hands together to welcome her?”

In an instant, deafening cheers filled the place as the Luthers and the Chiverses made their way to the viewing platform.

After the host's opening remarks, a beautiful piece of music began to play, and the lights turned the venue like a fairy land.

From the entrance, Caridee walked in wearing an elegant but fashionably simple dress.
