Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 219

Bailey was shellshocked.

Was I so obvious?

She explained, “I'm not trying to skirt the situation, Edmund. Let's just see how it goes. The anti-cancer drug I'm developing is in the fourth clinical trial stage. That's the most critical time in its development stage. I simply can't leave now. You understand, right?”

Edmund pursed his lips and eventually shot her a bitter smile. “Of course. You're a shining star, and I would be remiss to stop you from reaching your full potential. Developing anti-cancer drugs is a noble calling. I should've been as selfless as you.”

Bailey twisted her hand around and held his wrist instead. She smiled and said, “Why don't you focus on running Chivers Group? We could form a powerful and trailblazing alliance in the industry. What do you think?”

He froze momentarily before smiling bitterly again. “It's fine. Bay, you have loftier aspirations than me. Still, someone as driven and calm as you won't easily promise yourself to another. I'll have my chance.”

Bailey smiled silently in response.

His feelings for me are too deep. Even if I reject him, he might still be too stubborn to give up on me. No one can predict the future, though. Once the dust has settled, who knows? I may very well end up with Edmund. Fate is far too unpredictable.

After leaving the restaurant, Bailey rejected Edmund's offer to send her back to her condominium.

She explained, “We're not far from Shelbert Condominium which is only a twenty-minute walk. You should head home. It's not safe to be driving too late at night.”

Edmund failed to convince her. After cautioning her to be careful, he drove off.

Bailey began walking home. A short while later, she immediately sensed that something was off.

Someone was following her.

She whirled around and froze in shock.

Artemis. What is he doing here?

She clearly remembered that he had returned to the Luther residence after leaving the company that afternoon.

Her surprise grew as that thought crossed her mind.

Since when do I know his schedule like the back of my hand?

“You...”

Before she could finish her sentence, Artemis strode toward her and wrapped his arm around her waist. “I'll marry you, Bailey. Okay?”

Bailey was dumbfounded.

As he leaned closer to her, she realized he was acting a little strange.

Is he drunk? Or did something else happen to him?

“Let go of me first. We can talk at my condominium instead of the street. There aren't many people around at this time, but... mmph!”

Oh my God! He's totally crazy!

Artemis pressed her against a roadside tree and began kissing her after his abrupt proposal.

Bailey struggled with all her might.

To her dismay, she learned that a drunk man was far stronger than a sober one, and she barely shifted an inch in his embrace.

“Artemis Lut—”

He swallowed her protests completely.

In fact, opening her mouth merely gave Artemis a chance to deepen the kiss.

Bailey only ever felt hopeless in his presence.

He seemed to control her entire world, and she stood no chance of escaping his grasp.

Just when she thought she was about to go numb from how tightly he was hugging her, Artemis slowly loosened his grip.

Bailey gasped heavily for air. She felt less nauseated after filling her lungs and brain with some much-needed oxygen.

After recovering her wits, she let out an angry snort.

“You're a madman! Who the heck does something crazy like that? In a totally inappropriate location, if I may add!”

Artemis stroked her cheek and hissed, “Did I bed you? I don't think so. I hardly deserve being labeled as a madman. I'd caution you to mind your language.”

Bailey was at once amused and infuriated.

She was about to explode.

This shameless scoundrel! Can he be any more outrageous?

Bailey barked, “Tell me. What triggered you this time? Why are you taking it out on me again?”

He smiled at her and repeated himself, “I'll marry you. Okay?”

That drew a bout of crazed laughter from Bailey. Blinded by fury, she blurted, “Mr. Luther, I stole the three billion that vanished from your account. I'm sure a gold-digger like me can't be your soulmate.”

Artemis froze in surprise, though he quickly grew light-headed from all the alcohol in his system. He mumbled, “Be a good girl. Let's not talk about the money for now. Why don't you explain those triplets to me, hmm?”

Bailey was flabbergasted.

Did he read one too many romance novels? How does his mind jump to some totally unrelated topic so quickly?

She was utterly tongue-tied.

After calming herself down, panic swelled in her chest.

Thank God he was drunk and barely absorbed what I said earlier. Three billion could bankrupt my whole family. Rashness is the truly a devil. I can't afford to blurt that out again.
