Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 214

Chapter 214

Artemis arched his brows and smirked.

“Of course, I will love him! I have to thank the baby in your belly as it makes me realize a lot of things.”

Rhonda was startled, and she had a bad feeling.

Just when she was about to ask further, Artemis spoke again, “I've been in touch with the person in charge at the City Hall, and he'll bring the staff over to our residence tomorrow. Don't you want to register our marriage? I get them to do it here.”

“Huh?” Rhonda looked at him in a daze.

Did I hear it right? Did he say that he's arranged for the people from City Hall to come here for our marriage registration?

The unexpected happy event caught her off guard.

“A-Artemis, do you really want to register our marriage?”

Artemis put on a devilish smile again. “Do I look like I am kidding? Or do you not want to get registered?”

“No.” Rhonda became anxious all of a sudden and wanted to get out of her bed.

A trace of sarcasm flashed through Artemis' eyes, and he said lightly, “You should just stay in bed. The baby in your belly is so precious now, and I take it very seriously. You have to take good care of it.”

Rhonda dared not move anymore. She hurriedly laid back and said anxiously, “Tomorrow. We'll register our marriage tomorrow, right?”

Artemis turned around and started walking toward the door. “Yes, that's right. It's tomorrow. You don't have to doubt what I said as I always keep my word. Get some rest now, and we'll talk about it tomorrow.”

Rhonda narrowed her eyes to look at his departing figure and fell into deep thought.

The surprise that came all of a sudden made her feel a little unreal. She was so flustered to the extent that she felt something was not right.

Did he really just say that he wants to marry me? Am I dreaming now?

She leaned on the bedside and thought for a long while, but she was still clueless.

She reached for her phone on the bedside table and gave Beatrice a call.

She then told Beatrice about Artemis' decision.

“Mom, why do you think he suddenly changed his mind? Do you have any idea what he wants to do actually?”

Beatrice smiled and comforted her, “Don't worry too much, Ronni. I guess it's Felicity who pressured him to do so. Perhaps Artemis has no choice but to compromise because of his mother's pressure.”

“Huh? What did Mrs. Luther do to pressure Artemis?” Rhonda frowned and asked.

Beatrice said sarcastically, “Do you know who Gerald's ideal eldest daughter-in-law is?”

“Who?”

“The eldest daughter of the Shurmer family, Zoey.”

Rhonda was stunned for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she asked as she in a confused tone, “Zoey is one of the Ten Acclaimed Socialites. I am not surprised that she's the ideal daughter-in-law in Gerald's eye. But what does this have to do with that old woman?”

Victoria's body started trembling violently, and her face gradually turned pale. “W-What do you mean?”

Vincent walked up to her and stared at her for a long moment. Without answering her question, he asked further, “Is Lionel back in Hallsbay already? Have you met him?”

Victoria staggered a few steps backward and looked at him, startled. “This person has long since disappeared from my world. Why are you still mentioning him now?”

“Why am I mentioning him? Don't you have a clue? I don't care if you want to take over Saunders Group or even hand over Saunders Group to that kid from the Gezmond family. But Victor is your brother. You can't hurt him.”

“I didn't do anything!” Victoria looked at Vincent with teary eyes and said furiously, “I did have any ill intention when I came back here. I wanted to return everything I owed the Gezmond family to Lionel, but I didn't plan to harm my own brother! I never once thought of putting you or Victor in danger.”

Vincent gazed at her with a look of pity, feeling a little sorry for her. “That means it was him. Let me take care of this, and you don't have to worry about it. Just go back to your room and rest.”

Victoria looked at him stubbornly and said in a tough tone, “No. If he wants to take revenge, none of us can escape. I'm no exception too. Dad, you rest first. I'll go to the prison to find out what's going on.”

With that, she stormed toward the main door.

Vincent tried to stop her, but she ignored him. She walked out of the living room and rushed into the dark night.

At the study in Shelbert Condominium, Bailey was studying the DNA test report of Rhonda and Maxton.

She was secretly hoping that Maxton was her first child who was stolen by Rhonda to pretend to be hers but she could not find any clues on the test report even after reading it a hundred times.

Rhonda does not have any blood relationship with Max, not even in the slightest. If Max is my eldest son, why is he not related to Rhonda at all?
