Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 427

Chapter 427

She deliberately planted listening devices in the study in the afternoon so that she could find out how they were planning to settle the matter.

Unsurprisingly, her father was really planning to use Bailey's blood data for a DNA test with him.

If the result showed that she was his daughter, she could guess that the Shurmers would take Bailey back into the family with how Zeke had been acting.

If that were to happen, Bailey was going to be the daughter of the Shurmers, and she... was going to be a worthless adopted daughter.

From then on, she would have to act according to that woman's wishes. How could she possibly stand that?

No, I can't just be a sitting duck. I won't just sit on my hands as I watch Bailey return to the Shurmer family and take over my identity and status.

With those thoughts in mind, she shot up from her bed and strode out of the bedroom.

The next day, Gerald and Felicity came to Shelbert Condominium.

Bailey froze when she opened the door and saw who was behind it.

“Why are you here?”

Felicity raked her gaze at Bailey's flat stomach before looking at her face.

They look alike! They look so alike! This girl shares half her facial features with Waverly. No wonder people are talking about how they must be mother and daughter. I finally know why I'm annoyed with her and can't bring myself to love her. It's because she looks like Waverly. She looks like the woman my husband has been missing for decades.

Gerald cleared his throat and disrupted the awkward atmosphere between the two.

“Aren't you going to invite us in for a seat?”

“What? Oh.” Bailey recovered from her shock and quickly moved aside. “You don't need to change your footwear. I'll clean the floor later.”

Right then, Maxton rushed out of the study and launched himself into Felicity's arms.

“Grandma, why are you here?”

Susan was not one to bear a long grudge, so she soon lunged into Gerald's arms as well.

“Grandpa...”

The couple answered in response before carrying their precious grandchildren up into their arms.

When Gerald heard the sounds from the kitchen, he lifted a brow and asked, “Is Artemis cooking?”

A look of shock flashed past Felicity's face when she heard that, and she turned toward the direction of the kitchen.

Indeed, there was a tall figure by the stove, and it was none other than Artemis.

“That boy knows how to cook?”
