Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220

After watching Bailey enter the living room, Artemis struggled to get up and head to the bathroom.

A moment later, Bailey came back out of the master bedroom, properly dressed.

Well, she had no choice. There was a beast in the house, and she dared not walk around in a spaghetti-strapped nightgown like Susan. If she did that, she would essentially be offering herself up to a certain man.

When she entered the living room, she found no one on the couch. Her eyes then flited toward the bathroom, where the sounds of running water were coming from.

Just as she was about to walk over to ask him what he wanted for breakfast, a ringtone of a phone traveled into her ears.

It was Artemis' phone.

A while of hesitation later, she walked over to pick up the phone.

When she lowered her eyes and looked at the screen, she was greeted by the name “Zoey.”

Instinctively, Bailey raised a brow.

The contacts that Artemis saved on his phone were all important people.

Thus, she wondered, A confidante?

An evil plan formed in her head. She turned around to glance at the bathroom before walking over to the balcony. Then, she answered the call.

Before she could say anything, a crystalline clear voice of a woman traveled out of the speaker. “Artemis, what are you doing? I'm thinking of coming back to Hallsbay in a few days' time. As usual, I'll stay in your seaside mansion when I'm there.”

Bailey was speechless upon hearing that.

Are they that close to each other? It sounds like she's a frequent guest in Artemis' private mansion. Is she Artemis' first crush?

Just then, the door to the bathroom opened with a clink. When Bailey turned to look in his direction, she was taken aback.

What the f*ck? I can't believe this man is coming out of the bathroom half naked.

As Bailey's mind went blank, she dropped the phone.

Holy sh*t, there's no way I'm going to be able to clear my name if the woman on the other end of the line misunderstands the situation.

“Who's calling?” Artemis asked as he walked over.

Bailey narrowed her eyes at him with a frown. “Aren't you mad that I picked up your call without asking for your permission?”

By then, Artemis was already on the balcony. He casually reached out his arm to wrap it around her waist before whispering in her ear, “I was serious about what I said to you last night. I want to marry you, so what's wrong with my wife picking up a call for me?”

The hair on the back of Bailey's neck rose. For a moment, she forgot to struggle as she tilted her head to look at him. “You still remember what happened last night?”

Mirth danced across Artemis' eyes at that.

He knew what the woman was worried about, and he could not help but think... What a greedy woman.

“Yes. I only remembered that I told you I wanted to marry you. Was there anything else?”

“No, no.” Bailey hastily shook her head, and her actions made her look a little silly. “That's all that happened. I...”

Artemis' heart melted when he saw her anxious demeanor.

Before she could finish her sentence, he leaned over to plant a kiss on her lips.

Beep, beep!
