Chapter 363

Taking note of Artemis' timid look, Bailey rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Am I that fierce? Is he really afraid of me? All I did was glare at him.

“By the way, how did you deal with the rumor that spread all across Hallsbay?”

Artemis blinked and raised his brows. “I've decided to hold a press conference and bring Zoey along. Everyone will think that I am about to disclose my relationship with her.”

Bailey rolled her eyes again.

Seriously? Do you have to be that mean? She saved you once. Can't you just be merciful? We all know that the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Toying with people's feelings like that will really drive them crazy.

Zoey would be on cloud nine when she thought that Artemis had called for a press conference to announce their marriage to the public.

However, all of her hopes would come crashing down when Artemis revealed the truth about the three children.

That's so savage. I never thought Artemis would punish Zoey like that. They've always said that women can be the most ruthless when you cross them, but men can be equally vicious. Artemis didn't even spare the woman who saved him once. He can be heartless if he wants to be.

“Bay, I'll never let anyone hurt you—not even my family. If Zoey wants me to return the favor for saving my life, I'll gladly let her stab me with a knife. She can do anything, but I won't let her hurt you.”

Knock!

Someone knocked on the cabin door, so Bailey quickly pulled away from Artemis' embrace.

“Come in.”

Veikko pushed the door open and stuck his head in. “Bailey, Shannon's up. She said she wants to see you.”

“All right. I'll be right over.”

Bailey glanced at Artemis and realized how tired he looked. He must have rushed over from Hallsbay overnight. He should get some rest.

“Get some sleep. I'll go check on Shannon. I'll be back after that.”

Yet, Artemis circled his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear, “But I want you.”

Bailey glared at him, reprimanding quietly, “Get some sleep first. You can do whatever you want after that.”

A satisfied smile spread on Artemis' face, and he let go of her.

Bailey went straight to the lounge after stepping out of her cabin.

She saw Shannon standing by the window from a distance, staring at the sky outside in a daze.

The sight of that made Bailey's heart ache.
