Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Chapter 7

Bailey wanted nothing more than to stay away from Artemis, but since he had taken the initiative to pick his son up, how could she stop him? “Of course! I'll get him out now,” she hastily replied. “After all, it's better for kids to stay with their parents. My humble abode is hardly conducive to raising a boy of Maxton's status.”

Artemis narrowed his eyes as a steely glint flashed across them.

Was that my imagination? Why does there seem to be a trace of disdain in her voice? It's as though she's chasing us away!

With that in mind, his handsome face visibly darkened, and even his tone became terse. “Sorry to trouble you.”

“Oh, don't mention it. You're my brother-in-law, which makes you family, so there's no need to stand on ceremony,” Bailey said smilingly before turning around to walk away.

D*mn it, I feel so guilty! If he found out I hacked three billion from his account, I'd be left to rot in prison for the rest of my life!

As it turned out, it was difficult for one to walk straight when weighed down by guilt because it wasn't long before Bailey's shrill cry echoed through the house.

“Argh!”

Her left leg seemed to have a mind of its own as it tripped over the right, causing her to lose balance and fall backward.

Sh*t, what if the back of my head hits the ground first? That'd be terrible!

To Bailey's surprise, however, the pain she had braced herself for never came. Instead, she felt herself falling into someone's arms.

She was hit by a cold aura almost immediately as a masculine scent, mixed with hints of mint, seeped into her pores.

It was such a fresh and intoxicating smell that a single whiff was enough to make one feel tipsy.

Artemis remained stoic as he stared at the woman in his embrace, his gaze intense and contemptuous.
