Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 330

Chapter 330

Before Artemis could say anything, Bailey went on, “I know the words I'm about to say will hurt you, but I'm still going to say it. The world has labeled me as your brother's property. Everyone knows I gave birth to two children to Simon. They don't care how in love you and I are and will only believe we're straddling the bottom line of morality. Let's give in to fate, Artemis. At least, for the sake of the children.”

Artemis sighed before he rolled over to the side and reached for the quilt. He pulled it over them and put his arm around her waist, enveloping her in his embrace.

This is also a kind of torture. With our bare skin touching, I can feel the desire in me burning once more.

“Fine. You haven't gotten any rest because of the programming competition. Don't overthink and go to sleep. I won't touch you.”

Bailey was indeed exhausted.

Despite their intimate posture, she still fell asleep in a flash.

Glancing at her beautiful sleeping face, Artemis could not help but smile wryly.

What do people call this again? Reaping what you sow. Telling her the truth can solve all the problems, but I don't even know where to start after dragging it on for so long.

The next morning, a serious confrontation was ongoing in a private room on the second floor of a coffee shop.

Justin was staring at Raiden, who was sitting across from him. “I'm truly sorry about the engagement between our families. I will definitely marry Lettie if I don't have a child outside, but—”

Raiden raised his hand and stopped Justin. “I understand your intention. It looks like Bailey has already met you. Fine, then. The Fletcher family won't force you. Take a trip to Jadeborough and explain to my father personally. I agree with you two breaking off the engagement.”

Justin hesitated briefly before he asked tentatively, “How are you planning to break the news to Scarlett?”

“The children of the Fletcher family can't decide their marriage. My father agreed to the engagement back then because he did not want Scarlett to fall into a spiral of depression and harm herself after her close call to death. Now that she's recovered, there aren't many qualms about it.”

Justin let out a sigh of relief. “I have let her down. Lettie is a wonderful woman. She'll definitely meet a husband who will love and adore her.”

“That's enough. Save the courtesy. We'll announce to the public that the Fletcher family is the one who proposes the break off of the engagement. The Xuereb family has no problem with it, right?”

“That should be the way.”

Meanwhile, in the living room of the Xuereb residence, Olivia was surprised by the sudden visit of a distinguished guest.

“What brings you all the way to Hallsbay, Mrs. Fletcher?”

“The kids have caused such a mess, and Lettie called me crying about how she wanted to die. How can I leave things be?”

Olivia immediately gestured for Tamara to sit. She poured her a cup of coffee and said apologetically, “This is the Xuereb family's fault. We have caused much distress to Lettie, but please rest assured, Mrs. Fletcher. We'll think of a way to solve the issue of the marriage certificate as quickly as we can so that Lettie can marry into the Xuereb family as soon as possible.”

Tamara couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Does this woman think I'm oblivious to her plan? She wants to latch on to the Fletcher family. Surely it's not for the sake of the Xuereb family. I'm well aware she's doing it for her own family. Her family holds some mid-level posts in politics within the capital. However, this woman wants to elevate their status. The only way for her to do so is by latching on to the Fletcher family, the most prestigious family in politics.

“Surely you don't think the only obstacle between Lettie and Justin's engagement is his marriage, right, Mrs. Xuereb?”

Olivia looked at her in confusion and questioned, “What are you implying, Mrs. Fletcher?”
