Chapter 375 – Don’t Get Your Head Around Tess Baker
“Does Master Carter still like Tess?” asked Master Si as he walked up to him.
“None of your business.” Bowen Carter frowned and stepped to the windowed side of the hallway, looking out into the distance.
“It didn’t concern me before, but now that I know that Tess is my granddaughter, what happens to her concerns me.” Elder Si said slowly.
Bowen Carter inclines his head to look at him and snorts coldly, poking at Master Si’s small mind, ”Are you concerned about Tess Baker or are you concerned about being able to use Tess Baker to help your Si Family get out of their predicament? Or are you concerned about Tess Baker, but also want Tess Baker to beg me to help your Si family get out of their predicament? This.”
He said it too bluntly, and Master Si’s old face reddened with embarrassment, and he didn’t say a word for half a day.
“Don’t get any ideas on Tess Baker, or …” Bowen Carter bent over to Master Si, his eyes steeped in gloom, “there’ll be a good time for the Si family! ”Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Your THE Carter family is a big family, but our Si family is not a small family either, you first suppressed The Gate Group and then The Si Group, aren’t you afraid that our two families will join forces and deal with THE Carter family together? “Si The old man had never been blackmailed by a junior like this before, and was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped up.
Bowen Carter stood up straight, his eyes full of arrogance, “Go ahead and try.”
His voice was soft, but unconvincing for no reason.
Swords were drawn between the two men.
“You really suppress The Si Group, aren’t you afraid of breaking Tess’s heart?” Elder Si said as he took a few deep breaths and tried to smooth out his emotions.
Bowen Carter’s icy gaze shot straight at the Si old man, his handsome face a mockery, “The Si family is not as important as you think in Tess Baker’s heart.”
Hearing this, Elder Si immediately looked like a deflated balloon, and the wrinkles on his face increased by several lines.
Bowen Carter lifted his eyelids and looked past Master Si to the hospital room, frowning when he saw Tess Baker sitting up. She’d been told not to move, so what was she doing?
He didn’t pay any more attention to Elder Si and took a big stride towards the ward.
…
Bang!
Tess Baker was startled the moment the door was suddenly opened, and she subconsciously looked to the doorway.
It was already close to noon, the sun was just right, Bowen Carter stood against the light in the doorway, his hair refracting the harsh light. The light was too bright for her to see his expression, but she could only feel the violent aura surging around him.
Is he still mad about what she just said?
“Do what?” Bowen Carter took a few steps with his long legs and walked right up to her, looking down at her.
His expression was so grim that Tess Baker’s upper body instinctively leaned back a little, “I … had too much soy milk.”
She wants to go to the bathroom.
Bowen Carter’s handsome swordsman’s brow furrowed as he bent down, picking her up across the room in one hand, his hand carefully avoiding the wound in her lower back.
“What’s wrong?” Tess Baker asked as her body hung violently in the air and she scrambled to wrap her arms around his neck.
Bowen Carter gave her a sidelong glance, didn’t make a sound, and carried her into the restroom, about to remove her hospital pants.
“Fuck … what?” Tess Baker freed a hand to tug on her pants, her face red and white for a moment, her words stumbling.
Bowen Carter easily took control of her hands and removed her pants, along with the panties underneath, before placing her on the toilet and standing aside to watch her in silence.
With her bottom half naked, Tess Baker was so ashamed that even her thighs were red and her face was burning hot.
She knew what he was doing now, but, “Bowen Carter, will you get out?”
She couldn’t really pee with him watching.
Bowen Carter frowned, he’d seen and kissed every part of her body, what was there to be embarrassed about? He glanced at her flushed face and turned his back.
Tess Baker’s heart thumped so violently it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest. She looked away from the man’s broad back.
The sound of water was extraordinarily clear in the quiet restroom, and her face grew hot as she hurriedly finished solving her physical problem and flushed the toilet.
She was about to wash her hands when Bowen Carter re-picked her up and put her on the hospital bed. Instead, he went to the restroom and came out a few moments later with a wet towel and carefully wiped her hands.
Tess Baker watched his thick, curly lashes cast a shadow across his face and the corners of her mouth curved up in a controlled manner, “I thought you were pissed off at me …”
Turns out he’s back.
Bowen Carter paused for a moment in wiping her hands without making a sound, and when he was done, he took the wet towel and went to the restroom.
“Bowen Carter, are you still in love with me after being so nice to me?” Seeing him come out, Tess Baker asked, clenching her hands and summoning all her courage.
Bowen Carter stopped half a meter away from her, his eyes were bitter, “If it wasn’t for the baby, do you think I’d be taking care of you?”
Tess Baker couldn’t stop her hands from shaking, but the smile on her face got a little brighter, “But Aunt Zhang and assistant told me all the things you did for me. You don’t like me, why do you want to keep my room as it is, why do you want to secretly order a diamond ring and …”
“There was and is.” Bowen Carter interrupted her coldly, his hawkish gaze locked on hers, “Now, no love.”
The curve of Tess Baker’s mouth fades a little, her fists unclenching and reclenching.
So … really not in love anymore? He’s taking such sweet care of her, and only because she’s carrying his child?
“I have things to do, get some rest.” Bowen Carter forced his eyes away from her and struck out of the hospital room, there was no way he was going to get back together with a woman who betrayed him, even if … he still loved.
Tess Baker watched him leave the hospital room, wanting to stay but having no reason to.
It wasn’t long after he left that Linda Mark arrived. She was uneasy about Tess and had waited at the elevator door until she saw Master Carter leave.
Tess Baker, lost in thought, lay on the bed, and when she came in, she merely gave her a faint look and withdrew her gaze.
“Another fight with Master Carter?” Linda Mark asked as she peeled a banana and ate it.
Instead of answering, Tess Baker asked with downcast eyes, “Bowen Carter says he doesn’t love me anymore, but I can’t let go of him, so what do I do?”
Loss is not appreciated until it’s lost, and she understood the saying only now.
“Cool it!” Linda Mark swallowed a banana in three or two bites and swallowed it down hard, “Back then, Master Carter hated you so much, but you still tried your best to get in front of him, what did you say at that time? If you like him, then go for him, why do you think so much?”
She threw the banana peel in the trash and clapped her hands together, “Now, I’ll give that back to you.”
Tess Baker is stunned; does she still have the courage she had back then to pursue Bowen Carter?
At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and the nurse brought lunch in a cart, and the smell of food instantly invaded the room. Tess Baker was hungry, but had something on her mind, and not much of an appetite.
Linda Mark hungry, came over, surprised: “Cola chicken wings, braised pork ribs, roasted pig’s feet … hospital food set when so rich?”
And all of Tess’s favorites!
“Even if the hospital cafeteria makes them, they don’t taste this good.” The nurse said as she brought the dishes to the table, “Master Carter specially ordered all these things from outside restaurants, saying that Master Carter’s grandmother likes these.”
