Chapter 457

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.”

It was then Bailey knew she couldn't talk her way out of the situation any longer, for it must have struck a nerve in the man, and it wouldn't be so easy to fool him.

Upon noticing how the man's expression became grimmer by the second, Bailey hurriedly added, “It won't affect the baby at all...”

When she put it that way, Artemis' expression clouded over, causing Bailey to shut her mouth in fear.

This guy isn't worried about the baby, so why is he wearing such a gloomy expression? Could it be that...

“I-It won't bring any harm to my body either. Calm down, I—”

“Tell me the truth,” demanded Artemis through gritted teeth.
