Chapter 440 – People’s Tastes Change
Day two.
It was dawn when Tess Baker woke up, and she lifted the covers and sat up, frowning slightly as she accidentally pulled at her wound.
She looked down and saw that the wound from last night’s scrubbing had formed a very thin layer of scabs, the size of a ballpoint pen stub, gathered in twos and threes and stood out against her white skin.
“Awake?” Bowen Carter pushed his way in, a few rare moments of tenderness on his always icy handsome face, “Get up and have some breakfast.”
“I’m not hungry.” Actually, her stomach had growled before, but Tess Baker didn’t want to eat, didn’t have an appetite.
Bowen Carter’s eyes flashed with despondency, but quickly returned to their normal state, even the rare tenderness disappeared, “Get up and have breakfast, I’ll take you to the hospital to see your daughter in a few days.”
Tess Baker disliked his commanding tone and frowned, but sat up and began to dress.
–She wanted to see her daughter, the poor little thing who had been taken away from her at birth.
Bowen Carter was relieved to see her start to get dressed; she was still in her monthly cycle and should take more care of her body.
The two of them went downstairs together and went to the restaurant.
The servants all bowed their heads in silence.
Tess Baker didn’t have much of an appetite, but forced herself to pick up a bowl of porridge and drink it slowly.
Bowen Carter picked up his chopsticks and picked up some of her favorite foods and put them on the plate in front of her.
“Grandma Master Carter, these breakfasts were prepared for you by Master Carter himself, you are truly blessed to have married a good husband!” A maid said as she stood out with a smile.
Master Carter cared so much about Grandma Master Carter, and if Grandma Master Carter made up with Master Carter because of her comment, Master Carter would surely reward her!
Hearing this, Aunt Zhang’s face instantly changed, glaring fiercely at the maid and warning in a low voice, “Don’t be smart!”
“I’m just telling the truth, how is that smart?” The maid had long been dissatisfied with Aunt Zhang.
They are all servants, why does Aunt Zhang order them around? It’s because Aunt Zhang is in Grandma Master Carter’s pocket. When she gets into Grandma Master Carter’s good graces, she won’t have to be ordered around by Aunt Zhang every day!
Tess Baker’s sip of porridge paused for a moment as she set the bowl down and asked the maid, “Did Bowen Carter prepare all this?”
“Right!” The maid said with a smile, “Master Carter got up early to cook, all of it was made to your liking, our kitchen’s tried to help a little, but Master Carter stopped them.”
Tess Baker put her porridge bowl on the table with a thud and stood up.
The maid who just spoke froze, Master Carter so ten fingers do not touch the spring water of the young master to Master Carter grandma cooking, Master Carter grandma should be very touched ah, why is it very unhappy look?
“I’m full.” Tess Baker said with a scowl, about to head for the door.
“You don’t like these, I’ll have them replaced.” Bowen Carter tugged at her from behind, the bottom of her eyes obscure, “Aunt Zhang, please make another table the same.”
“Okay, I’m on my way, just a moment.” Aunt Zhang answered and was about to head for the kitchen.
“Aunt Zhang wait a moment first.” Tess Baker looked coldly at Bowen Carter, but the words were spoken to Aunt Zhang, “I don’t like to eat these anymore, you can help me make a skin-egg and thin pork porridge and boil two eggs.”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
She doesn’t like skinny congee with eggs or boiled eggs.
“I remember you didn’t like either of those things.” Bowen Carter remembers it well; she said the skinny eggs tasted a little funny and the hard-boiled eggs were too flavorless.
“People’s tastes change.” Tess Baker pushed forward the plate with quite a bit of stuff in front of her and the bowl of porridge, “Help me change my cutlery, please.”
“Remove all these things and give me one just like hers.” Bowen Carter looked complicated, what did she mean when she said people’s tastes change? That she didn’t love him anymore?
Tess Baker frowned, drifting back to when the two had reunited six months ago.
She was repulsed by him at the time, and he was clinging to her all day and eating the exact same things as her. But so what? Every time he said he regretted it and felt guilty and asked her to give him a chance, then in the blink of an eye, he came back to poke her in the heart!
She minced her lips and lowered her head without looking at him.
It was an hour after the two had finished breakfast when ASSISTANT called, saying that there was an important meeting and Bowen Carter had to go over.
“Put your coat on and you’ll come with me to the office.” Bowen Carter handed her the new coat he’d bought for her; he didn’t want her out of his sight again.
He was the one who separated from her in the first place so that the people sent by Grandpa could take advantage of the situation!
Tess Baker just looked down at her coat and didn’t answer, “You’re not afraid I’m going to give away company secrets if you take me to the office?”
The servants looked at each other and finally lowered their heads in unison.
“I won’t doubt you later.” Bowen Carter paused for a moment, coming around behind her with his coat and putting it on her.
Tess Baker sneered, “Do you think you have any credibility in what you say?”
He said he’d give her a chance, that he’d spend the rest of his life with her in peace, and what happened? In just one day’s work, he had dragged her from heaven to hell!
Bowen Carter opened his mouth, and at her mocking stare, finally said nothing, pulling her out the door and into the car.
The driver was humming in the driver’s seat, but as soon as the two sat in, he immediately stopped, even his breathing became cautious.
“Tomorrow we’ll go to the civil office and get a marriage license.” Bowen Carter said as he turned his head to look at her.
Tess Baker kept her head down and didn’t make a sound.
“Talk.” Bowen Carter frowned, so overwhelmed by her.
Tess Baker lifted her head and squinted at him, “Do I have to talk when you’re going to drag me to a marriage license whether I agree or not?”
What did he ever do to consult her?
No, never!
Because she loved him, she never cared about that, but now it’s different, she only has hate for him!
The driver watched the two in the rearview mirror, swallowed carefully, and silently lowered the center divider of the car.
“If you don’t want to, we can do it some time later, when you do.” Bowen Carter was silent for a long time before he said in a cold voice.
He wanted to get a marriage license with her right away, but she didn’t want to, and he didn’t want to force her. She already hated him enough, and he was afraid she would resent him even more.
Tess Baker snorted, “Then I’m afraid you won’t be able to wait a lifetime.”
She had once forgiven him, but the bloody truth told her that easy forgiveness would only result in the other person getting more hurt!
Hearing this, Bowen Carter’s heart clenched hard together, but he was powerless to argue.
He broke her heart, and now all this is retribution!
The car finally stopped in front of The Carter Group headquarters.
Bowen Carter got out of the car first, then went around to Tess Baker’s side of the car, opened the door for her and waited for her to get out.
“Hello president, hello ma’am!” The employees passing by here greeted each other one by one, and only dared to whisper when they walked away-
“I heard that Madam has cuckolded the president, how come the president is still so nice to Madam?”
