Female Novel
Chapter 353
The word “sleep” ignited a burning rage in Glen's eyes.
“B*stard, do you want to stand idly by and watch Edmund be ruined?”
Simon's lips twitched as the urge to tell Glen about the children's true identity swelled within him.Nevertheless, he didn't dare to do so without Artemis' permission.
“Fine. Since you refuse to do it, I'll call him myself.”
Simon's lips puckered in response. Go ahead, I wouldn't wish for anything else.
Meanwhile, Artemis drove back to his private mansion as fast as he could.
With Bailey in his arms, he stumbled along the way while rushing into the bedroom.
Everywhere he passed, he would bump into something.
At the sight of his reddened eyes, Bailey couldn't help chuckling. “You're a grown man! Why are youstill behaving like a child? Aren't you worried about hurting me like that?”
After a moment of silence, Artemis took a deep breath and leaned in to kiss her.
Laughing softly, Bailey wrapped her arms around his waist.
Finally, no one will bother us anymore.
Unexpectedly, their plans were immediately disrupted as an untimely ring echoed through the spaciousbedroom.
They felt as if someone had dumped a bucket of cold water onto their heads.
Artemis couldn't help but curse, “F*ck, I forgot to leave my phone in the living room.”
Narrowing her eyes in silence, Bailey had an inkling about who was calling.
Simon should've sent Edmund home by now. Old Mr. Chivers must've guessed what my decision is justby looking at the inebriated Edmund. Hence, the phone call...
If she could guess who it was, so could Artemis. novelbin
Raising his head with a wry smile, Artemis remarked, “Save it. I know what your decision is—answerthe call and head over to the Chivers residence to accept our punishment.”
With that, he supported himself in an attempt to get up.
Amidst a soft chuckle, Bailey put her hands around his neck as she whispered into his ear, “Why don'tyou be quick and scratch this itch of ours? It won't take up much time. Since we're going to be taught alesson, we might as well do it first. That way, the punishment would be well worth it, don't you think?”
Artemis' eyes sparkled as he gave her a look of surprise.
“Y-You're not asking me to go?”
Bailey let out a sigh. “It's not like I'm unaware of the reason Old Mr. Chivers has summoned you. Imight have had reservations in the past but not anymore. As you're the father of my children, there's noreason for us not to sleep with each other. So, what's there to be afraid of?”
An ecstatic glint flashed across his eyes as he leaned in to kiss her.
Thereafter, romance filled the room with the moon shining brightly outside.
Both of them giving themselves to each other was the purest expression of their love.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later.”
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later.”
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later.”
Glen called three consecutive times, but no one picked up.
Outraged, the old man threw the phone back on the table before getting to his feet with the help of hiswalking stick.
“Take me to your brother's private mansion.”
Perturbed, Simon touched his forehead and probed, “Grandad, why can't Artemis and Bailey betogether? Don't you like Bailey a lot? What's the difference between her being with Artemis and withEdmund?”
“What do you think?” Glen thundered. “Edmund can marry her, and so can you. Only Artemis isforbidden to, as they will be ridiculed by the public. If news of their relationship gets out, can youimagine the controversy that will result?”
Taking a deep breath, Simon approached Glen and held him by the arm to support him. “I should'vestayed out of this, but now that things have come to this, there's something I have to tell you.Granddad, let's go to your study. Once you have learned the truth, you'll probably change your mindabout stopping them.”
Glen responded with silence.
Back at the private mansion, the gentle light in the room illuminated the aftermath of the passionatesession.
Leaning against the bed and breathing heavingly, Artemis clearly hadn't had enough.
More... I want more...
However, he was afraid of hurting the gentle and fragile Bailey.
The woman lay in his arms with her eyes closed, seemingly taking a short nap.
Her long hair strewn across his chest, covering most of his bronze-colored skin.
As he tried to move, he accidentally woke her up.
Bailey gradually opened her eyes, and her gaze locked with Artemis' the moment she looked up.
Caressing her exquisite-looking face with his hand, he asked in a raspy voice, “Does it hurt?”
Bailey shook her head.
Since when am I that fragile?
“Now that you've gotten what you wanted, can we take a break? Let's hurry over to the Chiversresidence and explain the situation to Old Mr. Chivers. In actuality, I think he's reluctant to comebetween us. It's just that... he loves us too much and is worried that we'd become the target of publicridicule.”
“I know,” Artemis concurred. “No matter what, Granddad is wiser than us due to his age. Regardless ofwhat he says, he only has our best interest at heart.”
Despite his reluctance, Artemis forced himself to sit up, for he knew that the matter couldn't wait.
Suddenly, a message notification rang out in the room.
Cocking a brow, Artemis checked his phone and was delighted by what he saw.
