Bay would usually refer to me as Mr. Luther, my full name, or simply by my family name. It seems like she has never called me in that tone.
Seeing him in a daze, Eunice was worried that he might have noticed something. She quickly chided, “Artemis, I've shamelessly invited you already. What are you still standing there for? Do you want me to carry you or something?”
The moment Artemis picked her up, Eunice felt as if her heart was drenched in bliss.
She had yearned for three years, and finally, she found herself in the embrace she had longed for.
The thought of the impending intimacy stirred a rush of excitement in her blood.
My wish is about to come true soon.
Such bliss!
At the same moment, inside the main house's bedroom.
Bailey was leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window, answering a phone call.
The call came from Catherine.
“Bay, we've almost finished handling things on our end. We should be able to return in a couple of days, so there's no need for you all to worry.”
Bailey teased, “You shouldn't call me Bay anymore. You should call me sister-in-law instead.”
With a hint of frustration, Catherine ground her teeth and said, “I'm trying to have a serious conversation with you, but you're not taking it seriously. Forget it. I won't bother you anymore. I have other things to do, so I'll hang up now.”
With a chuckle, Bailey thought Catherine would end the call. But then, her voice came through the speaker again, “By the way, Bay, be careful with Eunice.”
“It seems that woman has left Kurt. She's fiercely jealous, and her methods are ruthless. She won't let us off the hook, so you must be very careful.”
Bailey furrowed her brows.
Indeed, Eunice was a troublemaker. The fact that she didn't manage to kill her last time was a constant thorn in her heart.
It would be much better if Eunice took the initiative to come to her, as it would save Bailey a lot of trouble.
Just as the call ended, the phone rang again.
Casting a glance, a new message popped up on the screen.
When she clearly read what was written, a wave of unease washed over her.
The disguise master, Faceless.
How did that woman end up in Gregan?
In the midst of her daze, a frantic inquiry echoed from the outdoor grounds below. “Bailey, has Blaze come looking for you?”
Blaze?
The frown on Bailey's face deepened.
It's been three days since Blaze was rescued, but I haven't seen her yet.
It's not like I decided not to visit her, but every time I tried, I was turned away at the door.
The former Blaze was lively and cheerful. Even though he faced many hardships, such a drastic change shouldn't have occurred.
Although Blaze was constantly puzzled by this, she didn't say much.
Cameron was with her all the time. If she really had a problem, he should have noticed it earlier.
After clearing her mind of the jumbled thoughts, she said to Cameron, “No, wait for me downstairs. I'll go with you to find her.”
“Okay.”
A moment later, the two of them converged.
While searching for her, Bailey subconsciously asked, “Cameron, don't you find Blaze quite strange? Her personality seems to have undergone a drastic change.”
After Cameron heard her words, his handsome face immediately turned somber.
He had been intoxicated by Eunice's stupefying drug, and he held an unwavering trust in her.
Now that Bailey was doubting her, it was undoubtedly like poking a ticking timebomb. “Bailey, what do you mean by that? She's been through so much and hasn't had a chance to recover. Isn't it normal for her to isolate herself? If you were in the same situation, I believe you would react just like her, too scared to face others, afraid of socializing.”
Bailey found his outrage somewhat amusing.
She had just made a couple of straightforward comments, so why was this guy that upset about it?
She found it very strange.
Before this, Cameron wouldn't act like this.
“Forget it. Pretend I didn't say anything. Let's find Blaze.”
