Chapter 366 Do you want to die?
Cliff Ford raised his eyebrows and gave him a thumbs up, “Carter666!”
“This this this you threaten people!” Grag Huck, his face red with anger and his swollen face muscles quivering, turned to the police for help, “Officer, do you not care if they threaten your client like that?”
“My termination of an employee under my group’s name doesn’t count as a threat.” Bowen Carter frowned with indifference, not giving a shrimp like Grag Huck a second thought.
Several of Grag Huck’s coworkers came up to him and bitterly persuaded–
“Better take the medical bills and forget about it.”
“It’s just not worth losing a good job for a breath of fresh air.”
“This is Master Carter and Mr. Lu, you’d better take it easy!”
Grag Huck’s face went from red to white and back again, and finally left the police station in a near lurch without even asking for the medical bills, saying how unfair the world was.
Several of his coworkers fearfully said goodbye to the Bowen Carter guys and followed them out of the police station.
“Is this kind of goon worthy of your love?” Cliff Ford’s heart was sour, “How blind are you to see this kind of scum?”
“None of your business!” With the matter settled, Linda Mark didn’t want to spend any more time with Cliff Ford and tugged Tess Baker to leave, “Come on, go back and get on with your dinner.”
“Carter, have you eaten yet? Why don’t you join us, I just haven’t eaten either!” Cliff Ford cheekily caught up with Linda Mark and reached for her.
Bowen Carter’s dark gaze swept over Tess Baker without making a sound, just following a few people.
“Why are you such a two-timer?” Linda Mark shook Cliff Ford off with all her might, “I made it clear to you two days ago that we can’t be together. If you didn’t get it, I’ll repeat it again, I will never be with you in my life even if I marry a pig!”
“I’ll be a pig then.” Cliff Ford smiled playfully, completely ignoring Linda Mark’s indifference and disgust, and went back to pulling her.
Tess Baker, embarrassed to be around the two men and with her heart set on Bowen Carter, intentionally slowed her pace and walked side by side behind Bowen Carter.
The evening is still a bit cool, but she walked beside him, looking at the dim light, the two shadows overlapping together, the heart of the indescribable warmth.
She was so lost in thought about the two of them that she didn’t notice a car backing up.
“You don’t want to die?” Bowen Carter yanked her violently into his arms, wrapping one arm around her waist, his face hardened to the point of no return.
Tess Baker nestled in his arms, her heart thumping like it was going to jump out of her chest. But not in terror, but with that characteristic flutter that comes with being in love!
“Be careful from now on, you can’t afford the consequences of losing the baby in your belly!” Bowen Carter let go of her and walked forward with a grimace, getting right into the car.
The faint scent of men’s perfume disappeared from her nose, and Tess Baker felt nothing but a pang of bitterness in her heart.
If only she had trusted him before, if only she hadn’t done anything to wrong him …
“What were you thinking just now, you didn’t even see the car? What if it had hit you?” Linda Mark came rushing over to her in a fiery rage and counted her out.
Cliff Ford follows, but unlike his playful smile at Linda Mark, he looks at Tess Baker with undisguised disgust and loathing on his face, presumably already aware of her betrayal of The Carter Group.
“It’s not okay, is it? Don’t be nervous.” Tess Baker smiled at Linda Mark and asked, “Back to eating at that place or what?”
“It’s too late to regret it if something goes wrong!” Linda Mark said this to Tess Baker, but kept looking at Cliff Ford, her gaze cold to the bone.
Cliff Ford looked bemused, “Linda, the woman who hit you, I’ve talked to her before, but I really didn’t order her to hit you! I …”
“It’s cold out here, let’s go.” Linda Mark didn’t hear him out and just pulled Tess Baker, into her car.
Cliff Ford tried to follow him there, but before he could get up there, the car started up, and little by little it got smaller in his sight, and he had to go and take his family’s Carter’s car.
Tess Baker and Linda Mark arrived at the store and reordered a private room. Both had something on their minds and neither spoke.
At that moment, the door burst open.
Tess Baker subconsciously looked to the doorway to see Cliff Ford standing gangly in front of him, while Bowen Carter stood expressionless behind him.
Her thoughts, which had drifted off to who knows where long ago, all came back, every nerve tensed together. She didn’t think he’d come, but he did, did that mean there was still a chance between them?
However, Bowen Carter enters the door without looking at her.
Tess Baker licked her dry lips and lowered her eyes, gathering the bitterness under them. She should not expect him to forgive her for what she did wrong, what she should be thinking about is how to get custody of the child back.
A meal of varying minds.
After eating, Cliff Ford had to pester Linda Mark to go to her house, and she was so annoyed that she just got in her car and left, forgetting to even say goodbye to Tess Baker, which should have annoyed her to no end.
Tess Baker stood in front of the grilled fish restaurant, looking at the cars coming and going, and the colorful neon lights in the distance, and suddenly had a feeling of rootlessness.
With her real parents nowhere to be found and her adoptive parents hating her, the only place she can call home is where her son is.
But now, she even lost her son …
“Get in the car.” Bowen Carter stood in the doorway of the car and said coldly.
Tess Baker froze and got in the car before he could get angry. He got in the car right behind her and sat down next to her.
“Please.” The interior of the car wasn’t small, yet Tess Baker felt his scent filling every corner, making her feel reassured and yet a little indescribably overwhelmed.
At that moment, the car braked hard, and Tess Baker subconsciously plunged toward the front. But the expected pain didn’t come, and she opened her eyes to find Bowen Carter with his hand between her and the seat.
He just hit it so hard, his hand should be hurting, right?
She couldn’t help but look at his hand, but he darted back before she could see it, his voice cool, “Just passing through.”
Perhaps it was the pregnancy gone stupid, Tess Baker froze for a moment before realizing that he’d answered her last sentence.
the Carter family old mansion and Beauty Garden, one in the south and one in the north, how can it be by the way? She didn’t break down his lie, but just felt sweet and sour in her heart.
“Sorry Master Carter, there’s been an accident up ahead.” The driver explained.
Bowen Carter didn’t pursue the matter, either, just gave a cold hmmm, then leaned over and buckled her seatbelt in silence as Tess Baker fluttered her gaze.
Tess Baker’s face was impassive, but her heart was beating so fast it was on the verge of bursting out of her chest. They were so close, I wondered if he would hear her heartbeat?All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
She moved to the side without moving, pulling the distance between them.
“If you don’t want to sit with me, you can get out of the car now.” There wasn’t a trace of warmth in Bowen Carter’s voice.
