Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 687

Chapter 687 The Escape Plan

Zeke walked over to help her up. “Don't overthink. Sofie will not harm Dad if she wants to leave the country. After all, she needs his help to get out of here. I'm sure she won't make things difficult for him for the time being.”

Waverly gave herself a tight slap. “We shouldn't have kept this from you. If we had told you earlier, things wouldn't have ended up like this.”

Zeke narrowed his eyes and responded, “You were also worried that Sofie might come at us if we learned the truth. Although your good intentions led to unintended consequences, we can understand why you did that, so stop worrying and blaming yourself. We're here for you, and Dad will definitely be fine.”

Waverly disregarded his comment and turned her attention to Bailey. “Bay, will you forgive us?”

Bailey felt irritated and amused at the same time.

Not long ago, they had opposed her return to the Shurmer family, but now their attitude had changed drastically.

She wished they could just treat her like how they had ignored her in the past. At least it would not have added to the pressure.

After a short pause, she replied, “You're causing me so much trouble.”

Upon hearing that, Waverly responded with a soft chuckle.

The fact that Bailey found them troublesome was an indication that she still cared for them.

“Yes, yes, yes. We're the troublemakers. But don't worry; from now on, we'll act cautiously and not let this happen again,” she said before walking toward the door. “Have a chat with your brother first. I'll cook something nice for you to eat.”

Her reaction left Bailey speechless.

After Waverly left, Zeke chuckled and said, “You know, it's important for parents and children not to let past grudges come between them. Mom isn't a bad person at heart; she was just misled by Zoey.”

Bailey grinned, trying to change the topic. “So what's your plan after this?”

Zeke told her about Artemis' suggestion.

Upon hearing that, Bailey could not help but pout. “He finally recovered from his hangover? And he even went to the suburbs instead of coming to see me? What a useless man. I hope he can't find anyone to marry!”

Zeke laughed at her response. “He might end up being single for the rest of his life if you refuse to marry him. Don't be too harsh on him, okay? He has his reasons.”

Bailey let out a cold snort. “I know. He's intentionally keeping his distance from me so that I can spend more time with Edmund.”

In the last couple of days, she could sense that someone was sitting beside her bed in the middle of the night. That must be him.

Zeke burst into laughter when she figured that out. “You two are truly inseparable lovebirds, knowing each other's thoughts as though you can read each other's minds.”

“Of course. He's my man. Nobody knows him better than I do,” she uttered.

Feeling curious, Zeke asked, “Is there no possibility that you might fall in love with someone else like Edmund?”

Bailey smiled and shook her head. “I would have fallen for Edmund had I had feelings for him instead of waiting for Artemis to win my heart over first.”

“That's true. By the way, Mr. Philip said he wanted to meet me when I'm available,” Zeke said.

Bailey arched her brows and responded casually, “He might leave shortly after meeting you, so delay the meeting with him first to stop him from fleeing the country.”

“I think so too. Let's act according to your plan then,” he said.

Meanwhile, silence descended in a farmhouse some fifty miles away in the suburbs.

Philip embraced Sofie in his arms and teased her.
