Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39

“It's not necessary at the moment, but I'll check with Bailey again. If she really intends to marry Daddy Eddy, this will be the end of the matter. Anyway, you must keep this a secret.”

Kai flashed an okay sign with his fingers. “All right. If there's nothing else. I'm ending the call.”

“Bye.”

No sooner had the video call ended than the room door opened. Maxton subsequently entered with a plate of fruits in hand.

When he saw the grim look on Zayron's face, he couldn't help but ask, “Idiot, who got on your nerves?”

Zayron narrowed his eyes at him. After scrutinizing Maxton with a piercing gaze, he asked derisively, “Don't you have an uncle who's a jerk?”

Daddy Eddy doesn't have any siblings and is the only son of the Chivers family. Also, he doesn't have any male paternal cousins too. As for male maternal cousins, the only ones around are his aunt's children. Artemis is one of them, but he already has a son who is about my age. Therefore, the chances are not high. That only leaves... What's his name... Mr. Simon Luther. That's it! When I get the chance, I'll throw him at a bunch of women.

“Jerk Uncle? Oh, that's right. He truly is a jerk. If not for him, my dad wouldn't have become horny and ended up having me.”

Staring coldly at him, Zayron asked through his gritted teeth, “Has Jerk Uncle slept with anyone before? In other words, does he have an illegitimate child somewhere?”

Maxton furrowed his brows.

“Probably not, as I've not heard of anything of that sort before. Idiot, what's wrong? Did you just discover that he has one?”

Zayron snorted in laughter amidst a vicious expression that descended upon his face.

If I find out that he is my biological dad, I will make sure that he becomes impotent for the rest of his life. Those who philander irresponsibly are scum. He certainly doesn't deserve to have exceptional children like me and Susan.

“Can you go to Luther Group's blood bank to steal some of Jerk Uncle's blood for me?”

He wanted to take a paternity test together with Simon. As the blood belonging to the members of the Luther family wasn't recorded in police registries, he wouldn't be able to find a match even if he uploaded his blood type into the system.

Maxton stomped his feet in exasperation. “F*ck, does Uncle Simon really have an illegitimate child outside? Who is it?”

Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and gave Zayron a probing look. “Don't tell me that it's you.”

Zayron glared at him. “Just follow my instructions, and stop wasting time. If you delay any further, I'll kick you out.”

Maxton was speechless.

Meanwhile, in the design department director's office of Luther Group, Stephen was looking at the two women sitting at the opposite ends of the couch. He couldn't help but ask with a smile, “Ms. Tanner, Ms. Jefferson, since both of you are colleagues now, what's the point of behaving like enemies?”

Bailey ignored him while flipping through a fashion magazine.

Sniggering, Jessica replied sarcastically, “Wouldn't I be sullying my reputation by working with someone incompetent like her? Mr. Chandler, whatever it is, just speak candidly. I'm worried that I'll be ruined by this shameless woman sooner or later.”

Bailey let out a chuckle before retorting, “Mr. Chandler, have you been keeping a mad dog as a pet in your break room? Why do I keep hearing one barking? I suppose it must be a b*tch that is dying to mate.”

Bailey's words succeeded in lighting the fuse of Jessica's rage. Springing to her feet from the couch, the latter bellowed, “Who are you calling a b*tch? Who are you accusing of wanting to mate?”

Ignoring her, Bailey smiled at Stephen with a cocked brow. “Did you hear that? I can hear it barking again. I must say, Mr. Chandler, it's not healthy to keep a dog indoors all year. All you will do is drive it mad.”
