Chapter 187

When Bailey saw that Artemis was stunned by her words, she bent her knee and positioned it below his waist.

Bailey thought Artemis would let her free and retreat, but the man was way more insufferable than she imagined.

“What do you think? You'd better scram before anything happens.”

Artemis smirked, and gleams of cunningness shone in his eyes. “How about we make a bet, Ms. Bailey? You can try that, but I'll still be able to make you pregnant.”
