Chapter 387 – Auntie and Uncle They Know About It
Bowen Carter picked up the phone, wrinkled his nose and said, “No, don’t know.”
After saying that, he directly hung up the phone.
Tess Baker is curious as to who called and pissed him off, but he’s just agreed to give her a chance and she’s afraid to ask who called.
“Cliff Ford’s mom called.” Bowen Carter pulled Tess Baker toward the karaoke bar, “Ask him if he’s at my place for a blind date.”
Tess Baker’s body stiffened, even if Linda didn’t forgive Cliff Ford, she could tell that Linda still thought of him in her heart. If he went on a blind date, what would Linda do?
“Do you think … Cliff Ford would go on a blind date?” Bowen Carter and Cliff Ford are good buddies and sure know each other’s minds.
“No way.” Bowen Carter was succinct, “If he’d agreed to a blind date, he’d be married already.”
That’s true, but Tess Baker is still a little worried; Cliff Ford himself said today that if Linda doesn’t remarry him, he’ll go on a blind date.
No sooner had she come up with a solution than her cell phone rang.
Tess Baker picked up the phone, “It’s my aunt, um, thanks for the well wishes … It’s okay, I’ve already celebrated at lunch and it’s okay if I don’t celebrate at dinner … You and your uncle are going to the Ford family… Cliff Ford matchmaking thing? I’ll go there together … Okay, then you and uncle will call me if anything happens.”
The aunts and uncles have found out about the Ford family’s letting Cliff Ford go on a blind date and are going to the Ford family to get a statement.
“Stay out of their business, you can’t help it.” Her hair was ruffled by the wind, and Bowen Carter naturally reached out, lifted her hair behind her ear, and then pulled her, back into the KTV booth.
In the booth, the little guy was holding a microphone and ghosting obliviously. If it weren’t for the background music and subtitles, one wouldn’t even know what he was singing.
Wind Carter swept over both Tess Baker and Bowen Carter for a moment, finally landing on their interlocked hands with a vague smile.
Tess Baker’s face burned at his look and she shrank back, but Bowen Carter’s grip was so firm without much force that she couldn’t break it.
“It’s nothing for a couple to hold hands, no need to be shy sister-in-law.” Wind Carter said gently.
Tess Baker, “…”
Can you not say it out loud? It’s really embarrassing!
“You take Mike to play today.” Bowen Carter said with a grimace, grabbed his coat, and pulled Tess Baker outside.
The little guy was about to explode with anger, his cheeks bulging, “No way! Today is Mommy’s birthday, I want to stay with Mommy!”
He jumped in front of the two and held out both of his little arms to stop the men.
Tess Baker wants her son around too, “What are we going to do now? Can’t we take Mike with us?”
“Spend your mommy’s birthday with her, and that database you’ve always wanted, pick one.” Bowen Carter didn’t answer her, but looked down at the little guy.
The little guy refused with a firm hand and not a hint of hesitation at all.
“In addition to that database you want, you can choose any one more within my existing resources.” Bowen Carter added in a hushed voice.
Tess Baker felt sure that her son would not approve, and she had a high place in his heart.
And the next thing you know–
“Uncle Six, there’s a new game online recently, let’s play it together!” The little guy took the initiative to walk up to Wind Carter and pulled him towards the door.
Tess Baker, “…”
The mood is a little mixed.
“Wait a minute.” Wind Carter stopped the little one with a smile and took out two movie tickets and gave them to Bowen Carter, “I got broken up this morning and I won’t be able to use these, so go see it with your third brother and sister-in-law, I heard it’s pretty good.”
Bowen Carter asked nothing, nodded, and took the movie ticket.
Tess Baker was a little surprised; she hadn’t had much contact with Wind Carter, but she was impressed with him. The woman who would dump him, she wondered what it was like, but they didn’t know each other well enough for her to ask.
“I’m off with Cable, have fun third brother and sister-in-law.” There was only a flash of gloom under Wind Carter’s eyes, then he returned to his natural self, smiling like a March spring breeze as he pulled the little one along.
Tess Baker and Bowen Carter followed them down the stairs and drove to the movie theater.
It’s Saturday and the movie is crowded. Bowen Carter doesn’t want anyone else to touch Tess Baker and frowns the whole time as he shields her in his arms.
“Sit still.” Bowen Carter looked thoughtfully at the popcorn the couples were holding and waited for Tess Baker to sit on the couch before he went over to the line.
In that long line, Bowen Carter, taller than the others and dressed in a suit with a taut, handsome face, looked out of place, like a wolf intruding on a flock of sheep.
A few of the little girls sneaked a few glances at him, like they wanted to go up and talk but didn’t have the courage, and in the end they just snuck in a few pictures.
Tess Baker looked upset and proud that such an attractive Bowen Carter, was her man!
“Tess Baker? What a coincidence.”
A male voice suddenly came to her ear and Tess Baker inclined her head, the smile on her face closing when she saw that it was Dennis Gate who had called out to her.
The appearance of the Hokage reminded her of what a stupid thing she had done!
“You come to the movies too?” Dennis Gate smiled warmly, the color of ecstasy in his eyes. He hadn’t seen him in just half a month, but it felt like years had passed.
Tess Baker, not wanting to make a scene, nodded but didn’t make a sound.
“I came to see the movie too, why don’t you join us.” Dennis Gate said softly as he sat down next to her.
“No.” Tess Baker couldn’t really make a smile at him, “I have company.”
She looked in the direction of Bowen Carter, who clearly didn’t like the crowd and whose face stunk to high heaven like the world owed him money. But even so, he stood in the crowd with his impatience.
Dennis Gate followed her line of sight and the smile on his face froze when he saw Bowen Carter. He turned his head to look at her as she curled her lips with undisguised happiness in her eyes.
In this moment, he was suddenly madly jealous of Bowen Carter.
“It’s your birthday, isn’t it? Happy birthday.” Dennis Gate tried to put away the jealousy in his heart, “I’ll give you your present later.”
Even if he didn’t know he’d meet her, he’d still prepared the gift a week ago.
“Thank you for your kind words, but no, Bowen Carter will take it the wrong way.” Tess Baker didn’t want to spend any more time with him, she stood up and was ready to go to Bowen Carter.
“Tess Baker!” her deliberate detachment scared Dennis Gate and he grabbed her arm, “I apologize about the wire, you don’t have to do this, okay?”
Not far away, Puppy White is holding a movie ticket and holding popcorn, the smile on his face fading a little, filled with loss.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Let’s not see each other again, let’s just pretend we’ve never met.” Tess Baker frowned as she broke away from him and headed towards the place where they were selling food, only to realize that Bowen Carter had already finished shopping and was holding a pile of food, looking at them coldly.
She suddenly panicked in her mind, how much did Bowen Carter see? He wouldn’t get the wrong idea, would he?
Bowen Carter took a somber step to her side and handed her popcorn into her arms, his hawk-like gaze locked in Dennis Gate’s direction.
“Bowen Carter, don’t think too much of it, I just happened to meet up with Learn … him and said a few words, nothing more.” Tess Baker spoke much faster than usual, “If you’re not sure, I can tell you what we all said!”
Bowen Carter’s dark eyes stared at her, unable to read the color in them.
