Chapter 389 – Bowen Carter Forgives Her
Halfway through the meal, Bowen Carter suddenly stood up, walked over to her, and pulled her to her feet.
“What’s wrong?” Tess Baker hadn’t swallowed the steak in her mouth and was confused.
Bowen Carter quietly pulled her to her feet in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, beyond which the lights were brightly lit and the traffic built out of urban bustle.
Tess Baker leaned into his arms with what seemed like a small drum beating in her heart. What did he mean by taking her to the window, had … he prepared fireworks?
She tilted her head to look at his polished chin and wanted to ask him, but before she could open her mouth, he said, “Quiet.”
Tess Baker could only swallow the words that reached her throat and look out the window in silence.
Didn’t they ban fireworks a long time ago? Why is he setting off fireworks?
At that moment, one by one, the points of light rose up. At first Tess Baker didn’t see what it was, but when the points of light got closer, she realized they were Kongming lanterns.
The Kong Ming Lanterns all have words written on them, and together they are–
There are only 6, 000 times in a man’s life, and I want to give you every one of them, Tess Baker.
They are not the only ones who can … see the peacock, and Tess Baker, with her face burning, did not know what to make of his confession.
Bang!
That’s when the fireworks bloomed in the dark night sky, the brilliant colors getting a little bit bigger, and then before they disappeared, they were replaced by another splash of fireworks.
Dazzlingly beautiful.
The thuds and thumps were endless, and when the twenty-ninth firework bloomed, Bowen Carter wrapped his arms around her from behind, his chin resting on her shoulder, his ever-cool voice taking on a strange gentleness.
“Happy 29th birthday, wife.”
It was the first time Bowen Carter had accompanied Tess Baker on her birthday, and the first time he had ever called her his wife, and she stared blankly at the brilliant fireworks in the night sky, which seemed to blossom in her mind.
But she was also afraid that when the fireworks dissipated, such a beautiful dream would disappear.
“No?” Bowen Carter asked in a hushed voice, frowning when he saw her half-hearted response.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Tess Baker turned and put her arms around his neck and smiled so hard that the corners of her eyes ached, “Love it, really especially love it, Bowen Carter, thank you!”
From the day she married him, she had constantly fantasized about him calling her his wife, and nine years on, her fantasies had come true.
“Just thank you?” Bowen Carter asked, frowning.
Tess Baker glanced at the man who was playing the violin, bit her lip, and finally stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the lips. Almost as soon as she kissed him, he clasped the back of her head and deepened the kiss.
The violin player blushed a little and took the violin and walked out, gently closing the door for the two men.
Bowen Carter kissed him urgently and roughly, and Tess Baker was left with her arms and legs and her mind in a daze.
It wasn’t until there was a coldness in front of her and she looked at the dark head in front of her that she snapped back to her senses and pushed him, “Don’t … don’t be here.”
It’s a restaurant and it’s next to a floor-to-ceiling window. What if someone sees it?
Bowen Carter grabbed her hand, raised it above her head and renewed the kiss. She was kissed so hard she wanted to refuse, but couldn’t stop herself from moving closer, a hazy mist rising under her eyes.
There was a clatter of plates hitting the floor, and she opened her eyes only to find him tugging on the tablecloth and swinging everything to the floor.
Tess Baker was so dizzy in her head that before she could react to what he was trying to do, she was picked up and placed on the table.
Knock knock!
Someone knocked on the door and asked, “Master Carter, may I help you?”
Tess Baker’s throat tightened and she braced her hands in front of Bowen Carter, her whole body cells tensing together, “Bowen Carter, go … to the hotel.”
Her voice was much softer than usual, so charming that it seemed to be dripping water, and Bowen Carter’s whole body blood rushed toward the bottom of his belly, and two flames seemed to be burning in the bottom of his eyes.
“Get out!” He rushed outside.
The man seemed to realize what was going on inside and didn’t knock again, his footsteps fading away.
…
When Tess Baker opened her eyes the next morning, she saw Bowen Carter propped up on his elbow looking at her with a tenderness in his eyes that he hadn’t had time to take back.
She’d rarely seen him so gentle, and her chest caved in.
Caught off guard by the sight of her eyes opening, Bowen Carter immediately averted them, but his ears were so red they looked like they were dripping blood.
“Good morning, Bowen Carter!” said Tess Baker, finding him adorable like this as she boarded over his face and moved over to him, giving him a peck on the lips.
Bowen Carter looked away and frowned, “Haven’t brushed my teeth.”
“That’s okay, I don’t mind.” Tess Baker sat up and looked brightly into his handsome face, love growing in her heart, “I’ll make you breakfast.”
“No need.” Bowen Carter took her to bed and tucked her in. She was too pregnant to do hard labor.
But making breakfast was something Tess Baker had planned for last night, and she got up, dressed, and went to the kitchen to make him breakfast. Unsure, Bowen Carter followed into the kitchen.
Aunt Zhang didn’t understand why the young couple suddenly made up, but was happy to see the family make up, and she exited the kitchen to leave the space for the young couple.
Tess Baker was preparing to fry an egg when her right eyelid suddenly fluttered a few times. A drop of oil splashed onto her hand, which hurt a little, and she dropped the spatula in her hand to the floor, inexplicably upset.
“Get out of the way!” Bowen Carter swept his gaze over the small red spots on her hands and grimaced as he took her aside, “Are you a small child with no ability to care for yourself?”
“It’s just a drop of oil, it’s fine.” Tess Baker rubbed her right eye, but her eyelid still wouldn’t stop jumping, and that uneasiness in her mind grew heavier.
She tried to push down the uneasiness in her heart and tried to get back to making breakfast, but Bowen Carter picked up the spatula and rinsed it off, finishing the rest of the job in her place.
The two were halfway through their meal when Bowen Carter’s cell phone rang and he answered it, “Speak.”
Tess Baker’s right eyelid fluttered wildly, the apprehension growing stronger, but she had no idea why it was happening.
I don’t know what the man over there said to Bowen Carter, but his face grew harder and harder, and a violent aura rolled around him.
In the end, he said nothing and simply hung up the phone, his somber gaze nailed to Tess Baker’s body as if he wanted to eat her apart into his stomach.
“What’s wrong?” Tess Baker’s mind was reeling to the point where she decided that the phone call she had just received had something to do with her, but she really didn’t know what the person on the other end had said.
And other than the wiretap thing, she’s never done anything else wrong to him!
