A tad bit aggrieved, Bailey looked at him with teary eyes and pouty lips that could arouse anyone's sympathy.

“You're being mean to me.”

Artemis took a deep breath to compose himself, unwilling to let the sympathy and heartache he felt for the woman cloud his judgment. The veins on his forehead bulged as he put on a steely expression and repeated, “What did you eat just now? Tell me.”
