Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 785

Chapter 785 Beware of My Husband

Bailey chuckled softly.

“Thank you both, I know you treat me like your own daughter and don't want me to leave with him at such a young age. However, he is my heart, and life is truly hard without a heart. Don't be sad. You still have Simon and Caridee. Max, Zayron, and Susan are also your beloved grandchildren, and blood is thicker than water. They will take good care of you and show their filial piety on our behalf.”

Felicity cried sadly. Tears streamed down her face as she shook her head incessantly.

“No! No, no, no! No matter how much we love and care for the children, we can never replace you as their mother. Bay, listen to me. Can we face this obstacle together and not give up on our lives so easily?”

Bailey laughed and said, “Mom, don't get too agitated. I won't leave with him right away. I want to personally avenge him. Maybe after some time, I'll come to my senses and change my mind. I'll live well for him, raise our children, and support our parents.”

Felicity hurriedly said, “Alright, alright, I'll remember what you said. You're a well-behaved child, and I know you won't go back on your word. Avenging Artemis is not just your responsibility, but also that of my Luther family. Hurry and take him back to Hallsbay, and we'll sit down and discuss this matter properly.”

“Alright, I'll head to Moranta first, save my future sister-in-law, and then immediately return to Hallsbay.”

“Alright. It's settled then. You must come back alive. I will be standing at the door every day, waiting and hoping.”

“Alright.”

The sound of the phone beeping sounded through the phone, indicating that Bailey had ended the call. She was afraid that if she continued hearing Felicity's voice, she wouldn't be able to continue acting because she felt guilty inside.

Felicity truly loved and cared for her, yet she deceived her, causing her to endure the pain of losing a child. Even though it was just acting, she could clearly sense the old lady's sadness and despair through the phone. Felicity leaned into Gerald's embrace and cried uncontrollably.

“How could this have happened? Artemis held such great power, and there was hardly anyone who could rival him in the whole world. How could he just...”

Gerald closed his eyes heavily and said in a broken voice, “It's easy to dodge an open attack, but hard to guard against a hidden threat. In his position, glory and danger coexist.”

As a powerful figure in the Luther family, he was already in a precarious situation. After he also controlled Tarragon, how could he not become everyone's target?

In a world where the strong preyed on the weak, only one rule governed survival.

Might made right, and the defeated must pay the price. It was the law of the jungle. Artemis lost and ultimately paid for his defeat with his life. It was fate, and one had to accept it. Felicity cried even more sadly.

“What should Bay do? They loved each other so much. Without Artemis, how will she live her life?”

Gerald sighed continuously. Perhaps the greatest kindness he could show her was to let her go with Artemis into the night.

However, their several grandchildren had already lost their father, and they could not afford to lose their mother as well. As a grandfather, he had his own personal motives. He hoped to save Bailey's life so that their children could experience the fullness of a mother's love.

“If it really does not work, then we should try to stop her from seeking revenge. As long as the person who poisoned Artemis remains alive, she will continue to live with determination. As time goes by, her wounds will gradually heal, and she will slowly learn to let go. Perhaps, she could finally get out of her misery.”

“That's enough, you two. There are more people in the room. So, what should we do next?” Bailey glared at him and muttered, “What a buzzkill. Can't he see we're being affectionate and give us some space?”

Upon hearing this, Zeke couldn't help but laugh out loud. He abruptly stood up from the sofa and walked out, getting ready to leave. Bailey hurriedly grabbed him and chuckled, “Zeke, I was wrong. You're a generous person, please don't take offense at my petty actions. I've made up my mind. The day after tomorrow, I'll set off for Moranta to save my sister-in-law. Are you happy about it?”

Zeke reached out and flicked her forehead twice forcefully. Upon seeing the situation, Artemis quickly embraced her protectively in his arms.

“Zeke, her mind isn't working too well right now. Please go easy on her and don't turn her into a complete fool, or else we'll be the ones dealing with the aftermath.”

Bailey nestled in her man's arms, giggling, and couldn't help but provoke Zeke, “If you had recognized me a year ago, perhaps you could have shown off your power as my elder brother. However, you can't do that now, because I have a husband to protect me. If you hit me, be careful. My husband might beat you to death. He's really tough.”

Artemis couldn't help but smile. He gently rubbed the back of her head, and said helplessly, “I haven't even married you yet, and you've already offended Zeke terribly in my name. If he tries to obstruct me when I propose, resulting in a miserable and pitiable situation, I'll need you to intervene and persuade him, taking care not to aggravate him to the point of annoyance.” Bailey was fearless.

She scoffed and said, “It's as if he can marry a wife without my consent. Don't forget, he's going to marry my disciple. According to tradition, he must formally ask me for permission as I'm her master.”

Zeke was at a loss for words. ... Moranta. In the Saviors branch. Caridee sneaked out of her bedroom, ready to head to the kitchen in search of something to eat. As she walked through the corridor, she overheard a few female bodyguards discussing the Tarragon. Out of curiosity, she stopped in her tracks.

“Have you heard? The Tarragon leader has been poisoned and died.”

“This news has already spread, so naturally, I've heard about it.”
