Chapter 357 – Here Comes Mr.
“Bowen Carter has never done anything wrong to me, it has always been me who misunderstood him, and the senior’s car accident was not arranged by him … “Tess Baker’s emotions almost broke down, “not only did not apologize to me, he also did so many things for me in private, but I am now … betraying him!
The last few words clogged up his throat, and he couldn’t get them out!
Linda Mark’s side was half silent, supposedly shocked by her words.
Tears muddied her face, all over the screen of her cell phone, and Tess Baker wiped the liquid from her phone, her mind a mush.
Bowen Carter and the Carter family won’t forgive her, she can’t stay with him, and how in the world will she get custody of her two children back?
If she doesn’t get custody of them, she’s pretty sure she’ll basically never see either of her kids again!
“Don’t you cry, I’m buying a plane ticket back home, don’t you dare get tough with THE Carter family.” Linda Mark instructed her and hung up the phone hurriedly.
Tess Baker held her black-screened cell phone, staring blankly ahead, her eyes unfocused.

Aunt Zhang pushed her way in, “Tess, sir is here and wants you to come down.”
“Bowen Carter is here? What is he … doing here now?” Tess Baker hastily wiped her face, her eyes red and swollen, and she looked a mess.
Aunt Zhang, “Mr. didn’t say, only that you should go down.”
Tess Baker stood up, straightened her clothes, gave the room a lingering look, and followed Aunt Zhang out the door. Maybe Bowen Carter had come over and wanted her to leave Beauty Garden now?
Downstairs in the lobby, Bowen Carter was dressed in a black couture suit suit, his cold, handsome face looking a little haggard compared to usual.
Tess Baker just now noticed that he has a faint greenish shadow under his eyes, he should not have slept well in the past two days, probably because of the wiretap thing …
She stopped in front of him, a little overwhelmed by guilt and apology.
“Sit.” Bowen Carter lifted his eyes to hers and placed the new divorce papers on the coffee table between them.
Actually, he could have left it to ASSISTANT to deliver the divorce papers, but he wanted to see her, he wanted to see her like crazy.
Tess Baker sat down across from him in a formal manner and took a few moments to look at the divorce papers, the corners of her eyes going up slightly in surprise, “How …” how did they change a few of the items back to the way they were before, except for the child custody part?
“Signed.” Bowen Carter masked his lameness with impatience; he knew what she was going to ask, but he couldn’t answer. Or so she had betrayed him, and he couldn’t help caring about her? There was no way he was going to tell her that!
Tess Baker put the divorce papers back on the table, took a deep breath and said, self-consciously cheeky, “I don’t want anything but custody of my two children, is that okay?”
Bowen Carter’s sword brows furrowed.
“Or else …,” Tess Baker said with deliberation as she looked at his face, “Or else just give me custody of Mike and you get custody of this baby in your belly, okay? ”
Mike is old enough to remember and is so dependent on her that she wants to keep him with her.
As for the custody of the other child, it could only be worked out later. The thought that the other child might not even recognize her when she grew up made her heart feel incredibly bitter.
Bowen Carter looked at her coldly, “You asked for it.”
If the two hadn’t gotten divorced, she could have stayed with the kids, and she was the one who ruined that with her own hands!
“Is … really not negotiable?” Tess Baker knew it was shameful to beg like that when she’d done something wrong, but as a mother, she just couldn’t let go of her two children!
Bowen Carter just took the paper, and the pen, and pushed it in her direction.
Tess Baker bit her lip tightly and forced down the tears that were about to rush out of her eyes as she picked up a pen and painstakingly signed the divorce papers.
“I’ll try to fight it with Grandpa.” Bowen Carter said as he walked to the door with the divorce papers in hand, stopping in his tracks.
Tess Baker’s hands were shaking a little as she stood up, her voice small, “Fighting for what?”
Getting her custody of her two children?
Why would he be so nice to her when she’s done this to him?
Bowen Carter didn’t answer, and his long figure disappeared into the doorway.
“You haven’t eaten since lunch, have some tonight.” Aunt Zhang had a bunch of things she wanted to say, but after walking up to her, this was all she ended up saying.
Tess Baker shook her head, she didn’t want to eat, she didn’t have any appetite at all.
“If you don’t care about yourself, you have to care about the baby in your belly, if you don’t eat all the time, how can the baby stand it?” Aunt Zhang said bitterly.
Tess Baker touched up her stomach, the baby seemed to sense it and kicked her across the belly. She let out a long sigh, full of exhaustion, “Make me some porridge, Aunt Zhang.”
“Uh, how about skinny pork porridge with eggs?” Aunt Zhang asked, seeing her nod before heading to the kitchen.
…
Three days went by in the blink of an eye.
For the first time, Tess Baker knew how hard it was to miss her. It was only three days, but she felt that every minute felt like years, and these three days felt like a century.
No matter where she was or what she was doing, Bowen Carter was always on her mind, as if she was possessed. She forced herself not to think about him, but she couldn’t help it.
Over the course of three days, she walked to her car more than fifty times, wanting to go to Bowen Carter. but when she thought about her betrayal of him, she finally didn’t have the guts or the face to go to him.
“Tess, your mom is making a scene in front of The Carter Group, and it’s a bad influence. The old man asked you to go over there and set this matter right, or … or he’ll send you to jail.” Aunt Zhang said as she walked up to Tess Baker.
In fact the Baker’s mother and Staphen Baker kind of scoundrels, Master Carter had a hundred ways of curing them.
Him letting Tess Baker go over there was just another form of humiliation, to show her how bad her relatives were, and then to make her lose face because of her next of kin!
Tess Baker also knew the old man’s intentions, but she nodded anyway, even urgently, because going to deal with this might run into Bowen Carter.
She’d just washed up an hour ago, and after agreeing to this, she’d washed up again and picked back and forth from hundreds of outfits for a while before finally choosing the solid camel coat that Bowen Carter liked.
On the way, Tess Baker sat in her car and thought of dozens of things to say when she saw Bowen Carter. But the car just turned around halfway down the road and headed back.
“What are you doing?” Tess Baker asked, wrinkling her nose.
Driver, “Master Carter just sent word that you are not allowed to handle this Mr. Baker matter.”
“The old man himself told me to come over, so keep driving to The Carter Group.” Tess Baker had never been so impatient, she wanted to see Bowen Carter, so badly, she couldn’t wait to stand in front of him right now.
The driver didn’t respond and still drove back, obviously not taking her words to heart.
“Do you need me to call the old man?” Tess Baker’s voice went cold.
The driver was a bit torn, “Young Granny, please don’t give me a hard time, Master Carter asked me to bring you back. If I don’t fulfill my mission, I’ll be chastised.”
