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?
