Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 895

Chapter 895 Foolish And Clueless

The voice of Artemis came from the doorway.

Simon abruptly turned around, hastily explaining, “Artemis, I'm not coveting your position. All I need is one month from you. Once I've gotten myself a wife, I'll immediately return the position to you.”

Artemis stroked his chin, appearing hesitant on the surface, but inside, he was overjoyed.

My wife is indeed clever. With a simple trick, she managed to toss out this hot potato.

“All right, since the public still doesn't know that I'm alive, let's have Mom and Dad announce that you'll be the head of the family. Now that I've given you the position of the head of the Luther family, you must work hard and not let down my expectations of you.”

Simon got what he wished for, and he was as happy as a kid.

“I'll go and talk to Catherine again.”

After saying that, he dashed out of the study.

Unable to contain herself any longer, Bailey collapsed onto the couch, clutching her stomach as she burst into hearty laughter.

That guy, Simon, is really unlucky to have such a brother and sister-in-law. I can't wait to see the look on that guy's face when he finds out he's been duped. It'll be entertaining.

Artemis strolled over to the couch, reached out, pulled her up, and held her in his arms.

“You'll have to deal with what happens next when that kid goes berserk.”

Bailey was laughing without a care in the world in his arms.

“He's so foolish and clueless. Even though you're both sons of the Luther family, how can the gap between you two be so vast?”

Artemis slightly narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing through his gaze.

She said that Simon was both foolish and clueless and also mentioned the huge difference between the two brothers. Isn't she indirectly calling me an old cunning fox, then?

“My dear, since I haven't given you any attention all morning, are you feeling neglected? If so, let's head to our room and spend some quality time together.”

After he finished speaking, he swept her off her feet and headed straight for the door.

Bailey struggled in his arms. “Can you not be so ridiculous in broad daylight? Put me down. I still need to go to the lab to research the method of getting rid of the parasitic fragrance with Blaze. Put me down.”

Artemis not only ignored her but also quickened his pace.

Bailey started to kick and punch. “If you don't put me down, I'll get angry. I really will.”

Artemis couldn't help but laugh. “I'm carrying you to the lab. What did you think I was doing? You're the one who's got the wrong idea, but you insist on blaming me. Go ahead and shout. Let's see who ends up embarrassed.”

She was speechless.

This prick!

After rushing out of the main house, Simon headed straight for the infirmary.

As he passed by the garden, he saw Catherine picking flower petals in the yard. Changing his course, he headed straight toward her.

As he approached, he wheezed, saying, “Woman, I'm about to become the head of the Luther family. Marry me, and I'll make you the matriarch of the Luther family. Isn't that better than going back to take over that useless position?”

Catherine slowly raised her head. Looking at the fool who was staring at her, she asked, “What does your role as the head of the Luther family have to do with my return to the Rogers family to succeed as the head of the family? I'll live my life, and you'll live yours. We won't interfere with each other's lives.”

Riled up, Simon gripped her arm, still panting as he said, “I know women have a strong sense of vanity, so I specifically took my sister-in-law's advice. I've taken over the head of the household position from my brother. If you marry me, I'll make you the matriarch of the Luther family and will fulfill all your demands.”

At that, Catherine looked at him like she was looking at an idiot.

If I'm not mistaken, this fool must have been tricked by Bailey. That couple doesn't want to be in charge of the household, so they dump the responsibility onto this fool. This idiot is amusing. Not only is he oblivious, but he also thinks his elder brother and sister-in-law are so good to him. Jeez. How did Luna end up having such a dumb father?

Regardless, she couldn't be bothered to let him know.

I'll let him continue having his grandiose dreams.

“I want to be a queen. Can you topple a country for me and support me in becoming a queen?”

Simon was taken aback for a moment, then said in a daze, “Being the matriarch of the Luther family isn't bad either. I can have them treat you like a queen.”

With a cool demeanor, Catherine stuffed a handful of freshly picked flowers into his arms and said, “The third room on the left on the second floor of the infirmary. Take this bouquet and propose to her, and she will surely say yes. You two can get your marriage certificate this afternoon. I wish you both happiness.”

After she finished speaking, she picked up the flower basket and walked toward the exit.

Subconsciously, Simon grabbed her arm, but upon encountering her cautioning gaze, he quickly let go.

Yesterday, her flower pollen had him out of it for half a day.

He had no desire to go through that again.

“Are you really going back to be the head of the Rogers family? I've told you, being the matriarch of the Luther family would be much more prestigious.”

With a raise of Catherine's eyebrows, a mischievous glint flashed in her eyes.


Since his older brother and sister-in-law have set him up already, I might as well give him an extra push.

“Let's talk about it when you become the head of the Luther family.”

She said this for two reasons: first, to make him commit to it, and second, to make him think she was a gold digger and dislike her.

But the outcome was a little unexpected.

“All right, it's settled then. After I become the head of the Luther family, I will go to the Rogers family to talk about our marriage. If your father dares to disagree, I will use the power of the Luther family to disrupt all your family's businesses.”

She was speechless.

Oh, he doesn't mind me being materialistic? This guy is actually pretty adorable. It's a shame that we aren't destined to be together.

After much consideration, she was still adamant about returning and assuming the role of the family head, then using her authority to retrieve the fragrance manual.

What's the problem with spending the rest of my life in the Rogers family for the sake of my daughter? There's no one else for me to worry or care about anyway.

At the Saviors' branch, Astrid was in the bathroom of the bedroom, on the phone with Shaun.

Shaun said, “Tell him you want to go out and clear your head. Then, lead him into the valley in the eastern suburb, where I have set up an ambush. I'm certain I can capture him there.”

After some thought, Astrid spoke. “I can do as you ask, but you have to keep your promise and bring Caridee over for the exchange.”

“All right, I know you despise that little wretch to the core. We are partners, so it's only natural that I do what you want.”

After speaking, Shaun immediately ended the call.

Astrid tightened her grip on the phone.

Although she was reluctant to let go of that sweet man, she knew it was all just an illusion.

All his tenderness is reserved for that wretched Caridee. The day he discovers the truth, he will surely break my heart. Rather than obsessing over something that's not there, it's better to trade him for Caridee.

The person she truly hated was just that despicable person.

In the study next door, Veikko leaned lazily on the couch, his slender fingers gently tapping on the armrest.

He had overheard the entire conversation between Astrid and Shaun.

So, you're finally making your move? Very well.

He was certain that Shaun wouldn't take Caridee to the agreed location, so all he needed to do was to contact Bailey to rescue Caridee at his place.

The call connected successfully. He briefed Bailey on the situation, then asked, “I'll go after Shaun, and you go save Caridee. Does that sound good?”
