She heard a burst of deep and warm laughter coming from above her head.
The next second, Edmund whispered into her ears, “If there's no one around, will you let me kiss you?”
What?
“Don't worry. I won't force you especially you.”
Bailey was rendered speechless.
That intimate posture went on for ten seconds.
Both of them knew very well that nothing had happened between them.
But it was different from strangers.
For example, the man who was seated in the black sedan not far away.
From his angle, it appeared as if Edmund was kissing Bailey on her cheek.
Artemis' face turned grim, and he pressed his lips together hard.
The moment he walked out of the office, he dismissed his bodyguards and drove by himself along the road.
Somehow, he ended up at that condominium after a long drive.
The familiar street corner made him lose his rationality. The urge to see her was overwhelming.
He was not a sentimental person. On the contrary, he was a cold and heartless man with a clean personal life.
If Simon did not con him seven years ago, he would not have ended up with another son.
He had met Bailey by chance. However, the feelings he had told him that it was predestined by God.
Fate...
Unfortunately, she seemed to have met someone she liked.
To make matters worse, the man was his brother.
Now that her son had some kind of connection with his brother, the entire thing was a mess of entanglement.
Suddenly, the honking of a car brought him back to his senses.
When Artemis looked up again, only a slim figure was left standing there.
Bailey stood under the streetlight and waved her hands with a smile.
Although she was quite a distance away, he could tell that her eyes were filled with gentleness.
Bailey always treated Edmund with warmth and gentleness.
Perhaps, he should give them his blessing.
Not long after Bailey returned to her condominium, the doorbell rang.
She glanced at the clock on the wall and noted that it was nine o'clock.
It was quiet in the children's room. The two of them must have exhausted themselves during the day, so they must be asleep by now.
She walked toward the door and peered through the peephole.
It was Clarence...
What's my scumb*g father doing here?
After a moment of hesitation, she opened the door.
There was no warm feeling when the father and daughter met. Instead, the atmosphere was tense.
“Bay...” Clarence struggled to speak up.
Bailey sneered with a look of ridicule and mockery.
She had been back in Hallsbay for ten days, and he had never once come and visited her.
Now that he found out that Zayron was the descendant of the Chivers family, he came to them like a dog.
“Mr. Jefferson, is there anything I can help you with?”
Her cold greeting and icy tone put Clarence in an awkward spot.
“Bay, why didn't you explain to me back then? If I knew you have slept with Edmund, I wouldn't have...”
