Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 407

Chapter 407

Watching her son's leaving silhouette, Olivia patted the back of Scarlett's hand and whispered, “Calm down. He'll be yours tonight.”

Scarlett forced an awkward smile. “If you hadn't stood up for me, I would've been walked over by Justin.”

“Oh, don't be silly.” Olivia stroke Scarlett's head before pushing her away. “He's gone upstairs. I need to give the housekeepers some instructions. You wait here on the couch. I'll be back in a while.”

“All right. Go on ahead. I'll leave everything to you.”

Olivia headed straight to the kitchen.

There, she filled up half a bowl of soup and ordered the housekeeper to bring it up to Justin.

“Tell him that the soup was prepared specifically for him. After all, drinking alcohol on an empty stomach later is bad for health.”

“Yes, Mrs. Xuereb.”

Twenty minutes later, Justin emerged from the bathroom wearing a bathrobe.

The moment he entered the changing room, he stopped abruptly in his tracks, a grim expression on his face.

He turned around and threw his gaze at the porcelain bowl on the table.

Damn it! Someone has spiked that bowl of soup with a strong aphrodisiac.

He couldn't believe something like that would happen to him at home.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't have been worried about such drugs, as an antidote of his would be able to negate the effects. The problem was that he was currently at home, while the antidote he created was at the medical base.

Before he lost his mind, he swiftly picked up his phone and sent a message to Veronique: I've been drugged by something potent, and it can only be neutralized by an antidote. Bring it to me from the third drawer in my study. Hurry! I'm afraid I can't control myself much longer.

No sooner had he sent the message than someone opened his bedroom door.

It was none other than Scarlett.

When she saw Justin wrapped only in a bathrobe with sweat beading off his face, she exclaimed, “Justin, what's wrong? Why is your face so red?”

Justin pursed his lips when the reason his mother drugged him became evident.

He couldn't believe how reckless his own mother was in trying to get someone else to bed him despite the fact that he was already a family man.

Does she realize she's forcing her own son to cheat?

“Why are you here?”

Pointing downstairs, Scarlett replied shyly, “Your father was wondering what was holding you up and asked me to check on you.”
