Chapter 352
Shocked, Bailey wrapped her arms around his neck.
“Stop it. I feel sick from having too much to drink.”
Artemis cocked a brow. “Your drunken state provides the best opportunity for me.”
What a scoundrel...
Feeling helpless, Bailey resigned herself to be carried out of the private room.
Upon arriving at the elevator, she asked curiously, “Where are we going? Back to Shelbert
Condominium?”
Lowering his gaze to look at her, Artemis retorted sarcastically, “Do I look like an idiot? Why would I
bring you home and have the kids disrupt my plan?”
Hmm... This scoundrel is getting smarter by the day.
“B-But it's getting late. Wouldn't it be dangerous to leave the children home alone? Let's hurry back
instead.”
“Sheesh,” Artemis snorted. “Can you drop the act? Don't think I'm not aware of how hands-off you were
with the children over the years. They're quite independent. When you were overseas for one to two
months, has Zayron ever suffered?”
Bailey was rendered speechelss.
Ding!
The elevator doors opened.
After Artemis carried her in, he pinned her against the wall.
Before she knew it, she was overwhelmed by his affection, as if he was about to devour her.
Bailey let out a gentle sigh.
It's clear he has reached the limit of his endurance. He would likely explode if I continue to resist him.
“Honey, do you want to do it here or my private mansion?”
What sort of question is that?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“If you dare to do it here, I'll break your legs.”
As elation flashed across his face, Artemis clarified frantically, “I-Is that a yes?”
After a momentary silence, Bailey threw her arms around his waist as she replied in a raspy voice,
“Artemis, I have fallen hopelessly in love with you. As you're also the father of my children, what other
reason do I have to hold myself back? I might easily cave to pressure seven years ago, but I'll never
betray myself now.”
From the moment she bared her soul and confessed her feelings to Edmund, telling him that they could
only be friends, she had a crystal-clear understanding of what she truly wanted—the man in front of
her.
She swore to herself that she would seize the opportunity and never miss it again.
Ding!
The elevator doors opened.
Without another word, Artemis swept her off her feet and carried her to the underground parking lot.
His urge to make her his was driving him mad.
This woman has taken over my entire life. My happiness or sorrow revolves around her now.
“Slow down. My heart belongs to you, whereas you have my body in your arms. Are you still worried
that I'll escape?”
“I can't hold myself back any longer.”
Bailey was rendered speechless.
Meanwhile, after helping the wasted Edmund out of the restaurant, Simon sent him back to the Chivers
residence.
In the living room of the Chivers residence, Glen was staring grimly at his grandson who had been
knocked out, his eyes glistening with indiscernible emotions.
As she wiped her son's face, Gwendolyn murmured, “What happened? Why did Ed get himself so
drunk? I have never ever seen him let himself loose like that.”
“Enough.” With a wave of his hand, Glen ordered Yoel, “Both of you, take him back to his room.”
“Of course.”
As the three of them headed upstairs, it dawned upon Simon that he had better not stay. Smiling
cordially, he suggested, “Granddad, it's getting late, so I'm going back to the Luther residence. I'll come
by another day to visit you.”
From the moment she bored her soul ond confessed her feelings to Edmund, telling him thot they could
only be friends, she hod o crystol-cleor understonding of whot she truly wonted—the mon in front of
her.
She swore to herself thot she would seize the opportunity ond never miss it ogoin.
Ding!
The elevotor doors opened.
Without onother word, Artemis swept her off her feet ond corried her to the underground porking lot.
His urge to moke her his wos driving him mod.
This womon hos token over my entire life. My hoppiness or sorrow revolves oround her now.
“Slow down. My heort belongs to you, whereos you hove my body in your orms. Are you still worried
thot I'll escope?”
“I con't hold myself bock ony longer.”
Boiley wos rendered speechless.
Meonwhile, ofter helping the wosted Edmund out of the restouront, Simon sent him bock to the Chivers
residence.

“Enough.” With o wove of his hond, Glen ordered Yoel, “Both of you, toke him bock to his room.”
“Of course.”
As the three of them heoded upstoirs, it downed upon Simon thot he hod better not stoy. Smiling
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcordiolly, he suggested, “Gronddod, it's getting lote, so I'm going bock to the Luther residence. I'll come
by onother doy to visit you.”
No sooner had he turned around to slip away than Glen stamped his walking stick on the ground twice.
“You b*stard, if you dare take another step, I'll chase you down and break your legs!”
Cognizant that escaping was not going to be easy, Simon resigned himself to his fate.
Given how disciplined and gentle Edmund has always been, there's no way Grandad would fail to
guess what happened when he sees Edmund's pathetic state.
“Okay, okay. I'll stay, so please don't be mad. Otherwise, my mom and uncle would kill me before you
do.”
“Tell me, why did Eddy have so much to drink? Who did he see?”
“Um, about that, I'm not too sure myself. When I received a call from the restaurant manager to pick
him up, I rushed over—”
“Come clean with me.” Glen jabbed his walking stick on the ground again.
Trembling in response, the timid Simon quickly changed his tune. “He went to see Bailey, and she
must've told him that they should just be friends. I think he had too much to drink because he was
heartbroken.”
Glen's expression turned grim when a sudden thought struck him. Narrowing his eyes, he snapped, “Is
Bay with your brother right now?”
“Uh...”
“Spit it out.”
“Both of them were indeed together when I left with Edmund.”
The old man's hand that was holding the walking stick jolted before he picked up the phone with his
other hand. “Call your brother and tell him to come here.”
Simon flinched in fright upon hearing the order.
Artemis and Bailey must be having a passionate time somewhere right now. Wouldn't it be suicide if I
were to call my brother at this juncture?
“G-Granddad, whatever it is, let's leave it until tomorrow, as it's already late. Who knows, they might
already be asleep.”
