Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 355

Chapter 355

Bailey arched an eyebrow when she saw the box of pills.

“Why? You don't wish to have any more kids?”

Artemis placed the tray on the bedside table, took out a pill from the box, and offered it to her.

Bailey did not take the pill. She narrowed her eyes and looked at him curiously, waiting for his explanation.

The woman was curious about the reason behind his actions. Doesn't he want to have more children with me?

“I'm content to have two sons and a daughter. Of course, I'll be delighted if you wish to bear me more children, but I really do not want you to suffer from the pain of childbirth anymore,” he confessed.

So that's the reason!

Bailey smiled upon hearing that, touched.

She parted her lips, leaned over, and took the pill he held out for her.

Next, he held out a glass of warm water for her, and she gratefully took a couple of sips, swallowing the contraceptive pill.

Indeed, she had no wish to experience the pain of childbirth anymore.

Years back, she had serious complications while giving birth to her triplets, and that traumatizing experience had haunted her ever since.

“This is just a temporary precautionary measure. When Justin is back, I'll make arrangements with him for a vasectomy procedure,” Artemis shared.

Stunned, Bailey stared at him in disbelief.

As the head of a prominent family, one would expect him to be concerned about having heirs to continue the Luther family's name. As such, it was shocking to know he was considering a vasectomy procedure.

“You...” Bailey was at a loss of words.

“It's okay. I already have two sons and a daughter to inherit the family business, so don't feel pressured about that issue. I want to marry you so we can be together, not for you to be a child-bearing machine,” he said.

Bailey buried her face in his abdomen and hugged him tightly. “I struggled with the decision, but I'm so glad I overcame my hesitation and took this step forward with you. If I had let you go, it would've been a huge loss for me,” she confessed, her voice hoarse.

Artemis bent over, kissed her on her forehead, and teasingly said, “You are such a shrewd lady, so how is it possible you will let go of such a catch?”

Bailey could not refute that.

Meanwhile, back at the Luther residence, Gerald and Felicity were having a discussion in the hall.

Felicity sullenly looked at her husband and gave in, saying, “Sure, I'll agree to let Zoey marry into the family. However, after their marriage, she and Artemis have to move out. I don't want to see her on a day-to-day basis.”

Gerald let out a sigh of relief. Having gotten his wife's consent was half the battle won. The remaining challenge would be to get his son to agree to the marriage.

“If you do not wish to see her, we can always move overseas,” he suggested to Felicity.

“Hmph!” Felicity snorted, stood up, and made her way to the stairs. As she was walking off, she said, “Don't count your eggs before they're hatched and start celebrating just because I relented. Your son is stubborn and has a mind of his own. I spent seven years trying to get him to marry Rhonda, and in the end, I still failed. I doubt you can easily convince him to marry Zoey.”

In the guestroom at the Gezmond residence, Wendy was leaning against the headboard and sipping on the mushroom soup that Sebastian was patiently spooning into her mouth.

“Mom, Zayron called me last night and told me Victoria has left Hallsbay,” Sebastian updated her.

“Huh?” Wendy was surprised to hear that. “Did your da... I mean, Lionel, send her away?” she asked.

He shook his head and replied, “No, she ran away. Da... Lionel is trying to track her down.”

Wendy fell silent for a moment, then ruffled Sebastian's hair and smilingly said, “I know you're influential and have good connections. Where possible, do lend Lionel a hand and help him find Victoria.”
