Chapter 399

“Having some display of affection to look at is already good enough. What's there to whine about?”

Zayron scratched the back of his head and frowned slightly as he climbed up the countertop and started serving himself some soup.

He acted as if his parents were not even there in the first place.

Bailey had the urge to smack him, but Artemis stopped her.

“I also think that you're biased. I only see you smacking him. Why do you not do that to the other two as well?”

Bailey turned around and glared at him. “Anymore nonsense from you and I'll smack you too.”

Uh...

Artemis scratched his nose and mustered his courage to pull his wife aside before asking with an arched brow, “I just heard you telling Victoria that there'll be a wedding in a few days. Bailey, you can't treat your words as nonsense. When will you go with me to register our marriage?”

Before Bailey could reply, Zayron yelled as he walked by while carrying a bowl of soup, “Hurry up and marry this crazy woman. Don't let her trouble me anymore.”

Bailey lifted her leg and was about to kick the boy when Artemis quickly stopped her.

“The kid is carrying soup. You might burn him by accident.”

The next moment, Bailey kicked him in the calf, and what she said next rendered him speechless.

“You wish to marry me? Wait another ten years, and we shall see.”

Zayron burst into laughter. “Why don't you marry her in another ten years, Artemis? By then, I'll be an adult and have a girlfriend. We can have a double wedding then.”

“Buzz off.”

Zayron was at a loss for words.

Zeke hummed in response.
