Chapter 371 – You’re not going to deny it, are you?
Tess Baker bit her lip tightly until the taste of blood raged inside her mouth before she spoke a little wearily, “Don’t say anything you don’t know.”
She and the senior were friends at best, and now they weren’t even friends anymore; the two had never taken a step across the line.
“Everyone knows about the fact that you put a wiretap in The Carter Group for Mr. Gu.” Lucy Kid’s face was filled with surprise, “The evidence is solid and ironclad, you wouldn’t deny it, would you?”
Tess Baker breathed a little harder, her fists clenched, her nails piercing into her hands, hurting a little, but nowhere near as much as she felt in her heart.
The wiretap thing didn’t just cost The Carter Group billions, it embarrassed Bowen Carter, did it?
How could she have the face to beg him to get back together after what she had done?Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“It seems that Miss Baker also knows that she has done something wrong, if she knows that, why does she still come to Bowen?” Lucy Kid’s voice was soft, “If Miss Baker really feels guilty, it’s better not to appear in front of Bowen, so as not to make him look bad.”
Tess Baker was so blocked that she couldn’t say a word, her chest seemed to be stuffed with a ball of cotton, so dull that she could hardly breathe.
She looked at Bowen Carter’s room, just a few steps away, but she couldn’t get her legs under her.

The door to Bowen Carter’s room opened and he stood in the doorway in his pajamas, his exposed collarbone sexy and attractive in contrast to his expressionless, handsome face.
According to Tess Baker’s previous thoughts, she had immediately rushed up to him and asked him if he still had her in his heart and if there was any chance of them getting back together.
But at this point, she just looked at him and hurried away … she didn t have the courage to ask him!
Bowen Carter watched her back, frowned, and warned Lucy Kid in a low voice, “I don’t need you to say anything about me and her.”
“I just think Miss Baker went too far and feel bad for you.” Lucy Kid bit her lip and looked resigned.
Bowen Carter’s hawk-like gaze locked on her, his voice cool, “It’s not your turn to worry.”
…
Tess Baker was up all night, unable to sleep the first half of the night and having nightmares the second. In her dreams Bowen Carter is married to a different woman, and she’s the only one he won’t look at.
She woke up with a start and looked at the time, it was only 5:25 am.
“Mike, mommy is sorry …” Tess Baker looked at her sleeping son, the corners of her eyes sour, she could not give him a complete home.
The only redeeming factor is that she’s divorced from Bowen Carter, but still has the right to come see him.
“Mommy?” The little one looked at her sleepily.
“Wake you up?” Tess Baker smiled and kissed him on the forehead and whispered, “It’s still early, go to sleep, I’ll go first.”
“Mommy, just a little while longer, okay?” The little guy rubbed into her arms, resigned.
Tess Baker wants to stay here too, but, “Your great-grandfather and your daddy don’t want to see me, and if I stay here and make them mad, what if they won’t let me see you in the future?”
The little one clung to her waist, too depressed to speak.
“Mike be good, if you miss me you can meet me at Beauty Garden.” Tess Baker said before the little one could speak, “Don’t say you miss me now.”
The little guy deflated, his mommy taking the lead on anything he wanted to say.
Tess Baker comforted him for a while longer, urging him to be good and not to upset the old man, and Bowen Carter, before she got up and shuffled out the door.
The maid had arranged a car for her, only to have someone knock on the window just as she got in. She lowered the window to see Wind Carter standing beside the car, dressed in a white tracksuit with a towel around his neck, supposedly on his morning jog.
“Sister-in-law, would it be convenient to walk together for a while?” Wind Carter smiled gently.
Tess Baker subconsciously glanced in the direction of the hall.
“Grandpa doesn’t get up until seven and eats at seven-thirty, and so does Third Brother, so you don’t have to be afraid of running into them.” Wind Carter said without skipping a beat, “And Third Sister-in-Law is pregnant, walking around more is good for labor.”
His explanation put Tess Baker’s heart completely at ease, and with nothing of importance on her mind, she agreed.
Wind Carter led her out the door and skirted the roads near the Carter family’s old mansion. It was a cluster of villas, all inhabited by dignitaries, and the greenery was well-designed, even in early spring.
He introduced the varieties of flowers and plants along the way for more than ten minutes before stopping near the wigwam and asking, “What does Third Sister-in-law think of Third Brother?”
Tess Baker had met him a total of three times, counting this one. She wasn’t used to talking about such intimate topics with people she didn’t know well, and stopped the conversation with a comment about how wonderful he was.
“Sango is a very thin-skinned, ruthless man. The eldest family used to count on him, and when he took over THE Carter family he let the eldest family handle the business in South Africa, almost six years ago by the count, and the eldest family is still in South Africa.” Wind Carter said.
Tess Baker frowned, disliking his description of Bowen Carter.
“Sister-in-law thinks I’m wrong?” Wind Carter took a towel and wiped the sweat from his face, “Then let’s say one more thing: Carter and Cole’s families have been friends for decades, and Snowy grew up on Sango’s ass, but Sango didn’t have a moment’s hesitation in finding someone to kidnap her.”
A couple in their forties or fifties passed by on their morning jog and greeted him, and he smiled in response.
“It’s not Bowen Carter’s fault,” Tess Baker had been pretty impressed with him before, but these words of his today made her feel bad inside, “He wouldn’t have had Snowy Cole kidnapped if she hadn’t done it to me three times. ”
“But Third Sister-in-law and Third Brother haven’t known each other for a few years, the Cole family and the Carter family are family friends, and Snowy is also considered Third Brother’s childhood friend. It’s still a bit too mean for him to treat Snowy like that for you.” Wind Carter’s lips carried a faint smile.
“I’m his woman, what’s wrong with him sticking up for me?” Tess Baker grew more and more upset with his comment, “No matter what he does to others, he remembers all my likes and dislikes and has secretly snuck in to help me many times. In my mind, he’s not who you say he is.”
It was getting lighter, and the sun was shining through the trees, casting a little glow on the ground.
Wind Carter looks at Tess Baker, but smiles.
There were birds chirping in the branches, and the scent of grass was all around her nose, but Tess Baker wasn’t enjoying it at all, “Thank you for yesterday. But if you came to me just to talk about how thin-skinned Bowen Carter is, then we have nothing to talk about.”
She really felt diabolical, and when she finished, she turned around and walked away.
Wind Carter laughed and tugged her from behind, his tone cheerful, “Third Sister-in-law has Third Brother in her heart, right?”
“So what if he is?” Tess Baker was displeased with him and spoke with barbs all over the place, “No matter how hard-hearted Bowen Carter seems to you, he’s the best in my heart!”
It’s just that he’s so stuffy that he doesn’t tell her what he’s done, making her misunderstand him all the time.
“Sango has you in mind too.” Wind Carter said lightly as he released her.
