Chapter 383 You’re even jealous of a woman?
“Thanks.” Tess Baker said.
Bowen Carter sank back and looked at her in the rearview mirror, “I’m just doing this for the baby, not you.”
Tess Baker’s eyes were bleak, and after a moment’s hesitation, she worked up the courage to ask, “Are you this good to Wendy Summer’s children, too?”
He said that the night he spent with Wendy Summer was just an accident, that he didn’t want the baby.
“Yes.” Bowen Carter answered without hesitation, she had betrayed him for Dennis Gate and there was no way he was going to let her know he still loved her!
Tess Baker hand unconsciously clenched tightly, his heart clenched hard together, so hard that he almost suffocated. Turns out what Wendy Summer said wasn’t a lie, he really did treat both kids the same …
Silence all the way.
The car ended up in front of the hot pot restaurant where Tess Baker and Linda Mark often ate.
Bowen Carter got out of the car first and opened the door for her, waiting for her to get out before he pulled her towards the store.
His hand was warm, wrapped around Tess Baker’s cold hand, gradually warming it, but her heart was cold. Even if she and Bowen Carter didn’t get a divorce decree today, his attitude had said it all, they were no longer possible …
“Hello Master Carter, hello Grandma Master Carter, this way please.” The lobby manager had already been waiting, and upon seeing the two, guided them towards the upstairs private room.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
As she pushed open the door, Tess Baker realized that Linda and Cliff Ford were also here. It just seemed that the two had talked about something unpleasant and the atmosphere was bad.
What’s Bowen Carter going to do when he invites them too?
“Tess!” as soon as she saw Tess Baker, Linda Mark was beaming and jumped up to give her a big hug.
Off to the side, Cliff Ford’s eyes were full of envy.
For some time now, Linda hadn’t even given him a smile; she could smile at anyone, but when she faced him, she looked like a black-faced bagman.
Bowen Carter frowned and stepped forward, yanking Linda Mark out of the way, “Stay away from her.”
“No way Master Carter, you’re even jealous of a woman?” Linda Mark bristled with displeasure.
Bowen Carter’s face was unchanged, just a little red in the ears, “I’m just worried about the baby.”
Tess Baker lowered her eyelids to hide a dullness in her eyes.
She’d thought it was just an excuse for him before, but he’d admitted it himself, that he treated this child in her womb and Wendy Summer’s child the same, and that it was all just a self-indulgence on her part!
“Gee, that’s a poor excuse for Master Carter to find!” Linda Mark shrugged, “How come I don’t see you so attached to the one in Wendy Summer’s belly?”
“Linda, you seem to have lost weight recently.” Tess Baker changed the subject so that it wouldn’t be too awkward to continue the topic from earlier.
Linda Mark swept her face in Cliff Ford’s direction and her face went cold, “I wouldn’t be so upset that I’d drop my weight if some of these people made a conscious effort to stay away from me.”
“I remember you used to want to lose weight all the time but couldn’t, now that I’ve helped you lose a few pounds so easily, are you thanking me in your heart? Want to think about giving your body in return or something?” Cliff Ford was still looking hung over.
Linda Mark grunted, her eyes filled with mockery, “The sky’s the limit!”
The smile on Cliff Ford’s face froze for a moment, and with a touch of caution he said, “Linda, I …”
“Tess wait, let me get you something!” Linda Mark directly interrupted him, ran back to her original seat, took a beautifully wrapped gift box, and handed it to Tess Baker, “SURPRISE, Happy 18th Birthday to my family’s great beauty, it’s getting more and more beautiful!”
Cliff Ford swallowed all the words he hadn’t said yet, and his heart was more bitter than yellow fever.
Tess Baker froze and took the gift box, and it took about half a minute before she remembered that it was her birthday. So much had happened in the meantime, and she usually didn’t pay much attention to things like birthdays, not even paying attention to the day.
“Are you too touched for words?” Linda Mark hooked her shoulder and scowled, “Wouldn’t you be more touched if I told you that Master Carter invited me to your birthday?”
“!” Tess Baker’s heart thumped as if she’d been struck by something.
She couldn’t help but look in Bowen Carter’s direction, a warmth crossing her heart, but also a bit of bitterness.
Every time she was about to give up after being struck by him, he always did something that touched her, how could she be willing to leave him?
Bowen Carter frowned slightly, he’d instructed Linda Mark not to talk about it, how did she do things?
“Master Carter, now you can’t say it’s for the baby, can you?” Linda Mark raised an eyebrow, “I mean, if you like it, just say you like it, you’re a thirty year old man, why are you still so twisted? Are you still going to spend all your time with Tess?”
Tess Baker was holding the gift box in her hand, her face was calm, but her heart was a little bit in the right place.
I wonder how Bowen Carter would respond.
To her dismay, however, he pulled back his chair and sat down, saying nothing with a sullen face.
“People who do wrong deserve to be liked?” Cliff Ford has a sneer on his face as he looks at Tess Baker with disgust in his eyes.
What face does sister-in-law have to stay with Carter when she betrayed The Carter Group for a Dennis Gate, causing Carter to lose billions of dollars?
Linda Mark’s face immediately pulled down, “This is a birthday party for Tess, if you’re attending, don’t make a scene. If you don’t want to attend, you can get out now, no one is forcing you to attend!”
“I …” Cliff Ford spoke sardonically, but she had already gone off to comfort Tess Baker with her face averted, and he swallowed the words that had reached his throat.
Bowen Carter’s eyes flashed, “Don’t ever let me hear that again.”
“Come on, you and your sister-in-law can do whatever you want, what’s it to me?!” Cliff Ford got up to leave, but when he saw Linda Mark, he sat down again and held his tongue as he flipped through the menu.
At that moment, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and the little one was shouting before he even entered, “Happy eighteenth birthday, Mommy, the more you grow, the more beautiful and greasy you get-”
As the long tune fell, the door opened, and the little one ran in straining to hold a large gift box.
Tess Baker, fearing that he would fall, hurriedly got up and tried to help him hold the box. But Bowen Carter was quicker, and before she had risen, he was already at the little fellow’s heels, carrying the gift box securely.
The little guy was instantly upset, glaring at him like a little fried kitten, “This is a gift for Mommy!!!”
Should have let Mommy get it first, how come it’s Scum Daddy who catches it?
So angry!
Ignoring his clamor, Bowen Carter placed the gift box, which was half the size of the little man’s body, firmly on the table, then carried him and placed him in his seat.
Little Guy, “…”
How can you pick him up so casually?
Is he shameless?
“How did you manage to carry such a big box by yourself? Are your arms sore?” Tess Baker was just afraid of tiring the little guy and squeezed his little shoulders.
Bowen Carter didn’t look too good, she kept saying she was begging him for forgiveness, why didn’t she see her being so considerate of him?
