Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 514

Chapter 514

Artemis and Bailey had been doing their best to hide their identities so the two factions wouldn't learn of their relationship.

If their relationship were exposed, an uproar within both organizations would be inevitable.

When Artemis saw Bailey sitting on a flower bed, he was no longer in a hurry to leave the car. He then grabbed his phone and called Micah. “What's going on with the conflict in Gregan? Why did the Saviors fight with Tarragon?”

After a brief silence, Micah sighed. “I received the news not too long ago, and I was just hesitating if I should tell you about it. I didn't expect you to be one step quicker than me. In any case, I'm not certain about the details yet. According to what I know, the Saviors were the ones who provoked us first. Our men couldn't keep their cool, and, well...”

“Then investigate the matter and find out all the details.”

“Understood.”

Upon ending the call, Artemis sat in the car for a little longer to calm himself down.

Subsequently, he left the vehicle, approached Bailey, and squatted in front of her. He gently caressed her cheek and reassured her, “You don't need to think about those awful things with me around. Even if the sky falls, all you need to do is nestle in my embrace. I'll make everything okay.”

In response, she turned her face away while her eyes turned misty. She was clearly on the verge of crying.

Artemis' heart clenched when he saw her pitiful look. D*mn. That look on her face makes me want to give my life to her just to make her happy.

“Don't cry, okay?”

She ignored him and promptly began sobbing, tears streaming down her cheeks endlessly.

The sight of her tears made Artemis feel like crying, too. Even though people tell me women are made of cotton, I've always thought Bailey's made of steel. But, at this moment, that doesn't seem to be true. Watching her cry is enough to break my heart.

“It's my fault for not managing Tarragon well, resulting in conflict and causing the Saviors to suffer immense losses. If you feel you've let down your comrades, then feel free to stab me with a knife.”

Turning her head toward him, she slapped his chest. “You're bullying me, Artemis!”

Wait, what? I'm telling her that she's allowed to stab me, so how am I the one bullying her?

“I—”

Bailey buried her head in his embrace and bawled. “I'm afraid the whole world will oppose our relationship, Artemis. I don't think I can live without you.”

It was at that moment Artemis understood why she was throwing a temper tantrum. So, she's afraid that the conflict between our factions will escalate to the point that it'll tear our relationship apart.

“That won't happen. I'm willing to give up everything for the sake of our relationship. If the world forbids us from being together, I'll relinquish everything just to stay by your side.”

His words only made her cry even harder.

She was, indeed, afraid. At that moment, even the slightest bit of threat to their relationship would make her feel as though the heavens were forbidding them from staying together.

He comforted, “Don't cry anymore, all right? You're making me lose my cool, too, which is something I can't afford to do right now. There are still many things waiting for me to take care of. Be good, okay?”
