Spoil Me More, Dear Huaband

“Mrs. Carter, Master Carter, what a coincidence!” Just inside the fondue restaurant, the fat woman Tess Baker had met only this morning came scurrying up with her eyes shining like a dog that had smelled meat.

Bowen Carter did not remember this fat woman who had picked a fight in kindergarten, and even if he did, he would not have said hello to her.

“It’s quite a coincidence.” Tess Baker said with a slight smile.

The fat woman hemmed and hawed and laughed twice, in front of Bowen Carter, even her speaking voice was much lower, “Just Master Carter and Mrs. Carter for dinner? How uninteresting for two people to eat hot pot, why don’t we make up a table, how about four people eating hot pot together?”

“Not much.” Bowen Carter had grown impatient and pulled Tess Baker forward.

“The two of you wait a moment.” The fat woman was fat, but her movements were not slow, whooshing to a stop before the two.

Bowen Carter’s handsome face grimaced for a few moments, he hadn’t seen anyone who dared to get in his way in a long time!

“Is there anything else you want?” Tess Baker squeezed Bowen Carter’s hand a couple times, signaling him to settle down.

“And … one more thing.” The fat woman looked at Bowen Carter with trepidation and took a few involuntary steps back, “It’s just that I’ve heard a little bit about Master Gate’s death.”

In the end, Gate Senior’s death had a bit to do with Tess Baker, she lowered her eyes, not quite willing to mention the matter, “Something happened to The Gate Group, and Gate Senior was angry before he passed away, that’s something I know.”

“Not at all, the rumors I heard can be different from this one, that s why I … I want to talk to the two of you.” The fat woman spoke extremely fast, fearing that if she spoke slowly, the two would be gone.

Tess Baker lifted her eyelids, her eyes filled with shock. Could it be that Elder Gate’s death was not what she thought it was? Her hands and feet went a little weak, and she wanted to ask Mark what the rumors were about Big Sister, but her throat felt like it was clogged with something, and she couldn’t speak.

Gate’s death has always been a knot in her stomach, and even though David Gate caused her to almost die in one body and this should cancel out, she still doesn’t want to deal with the fact that Gate is dead.

“Lead the way.” Bowen Carter said coldly as he took Tess Baker in his arms and patted her back.

The fat woman froze for a moment, lead the way? What lead?

“What booth are you in, Bowen Carter and I will go over there.” Tess Baker had a few tremors in her voice.

Hearing this, the fat woman almost jumped up with joy, and hurriedly led the way in front, “My husband and I just booked a private room, it’s on the third floor, the best private room in this hot pot restaurant, it will definitely not let you two down.”

She was like a hot pot restaurant salesperson, talking about which dishes were the freshest in this hot pot restaurant, which soup base had what specialties, and which dish was best to shabu-shabu for a few minutes.

From the elevator ride to the third floor, her mouth didn’t stop talking.

Bowen Carter’s face was growing grim; the woman was too vocal!

“Big Sister Mark, are we there yet?” Tess Baker interrupted the fat woman before Bowen Carter could get angry.

“Right, right, right, it’s this private room on your left.” The fat woman went forward and opened the door, then stood aside, “You also don’t call me Mark big sister, shouting makes me panic, just directly call me Xiao Lin.”

Tess Baker laughed and didn’t respond. Big Sister Mark would be in her fifties and she just couldn’t do calling each other Kobayashi!

“Honey, I can’t find you anywhere just now, where are you going …” an ordinary looking man walked in, when he saw Bowen Carter sitting in the booth, he was first shocked, then so happy that he couldn’t find his eyes.

He felt the business card in his briefcase and wanted to hand it to Bowen Carter, but he didn’t have the guts to do so, and finally stood in the doorway for half a day without moving.

“What are you doing standing there? Hurry up and have someone give the menu to Master Carter and Mrs. Carter,” the fat woman shouted at the man.

“Fine, fine, fine, fine.” The man couldn’t even put his briefcase away and rushed out to find the waiter.

Tess Baker was a little agitated, she quite liked this hot pot, but she didn’t feel like eating anything at all right now, she just wanted to hurry up and listen to Big Sister Mark’s rumors about Master Gate’s death.

But the fat woman and her husband were busy back and forth, with the appearance of eating for more than two hours before getting down to business.

Perhaps they had been specially instructed, the hot pot soup base and the dishes they ordered were quickly brought up and set a large table.

Tess Baker opened her mouth several times intending to ask, but was interrupted by the fat woman, who was clearly trying to hang her and Bowen Carter with the story to keep them around a little longer.

“What’s the hurry, we’ll see in a minute.” Bowen Carter scalded two slices of fresh beef and put them in Tess Baker’s bowl.

Seeing this, the fat woman said with envy and fawning, “I thought that characters like Master Carter are usually served by their wives, but it turns out that they actually still serve their wives, Mrs. Carter is really blessed!”

“Nonsense?” The fat woman’s husband glared at her, his heart terrified. Men, especially men of high status, especially valued face. Even if the other party was really a wife slave, that couldn’t be said!

The fat woman mumbled, afraid to speak.

“She’s truly blessed.” To the couple’s surprise, though, Bowen Carter actually volunteered to speak up and answer the

The fat woman was even more envious this time, having such a handsome and golden man like Master Carter to spoil her, Mrs. Carter was really blessed! Her husband is also shocked, really Master Carter doesn’t look like the man who spoils his wife.

Tess Baker can’t help but eat Bowen Carter’s blanched veggies, her mouth curving up at the corners of her eyes with a smile she can’t stop.

The meal lasted nearly an hour before the fat woman cautiously asked, “My husband is recently bidding on a jade project for a subsidiary of The Carter Group, I wonder if Master Carter can be a little accommodating?”

Listening to this, her husband are scared, this meal can be in front of Master Carter show a face on the line, how did she still say this thing out?

“What’s that rumor you heard?” Bowen Carter didn’t answer, scalded two slices of lamb and put them in Tess Baker’s bowl, her dark eyes on the fat woman.

Tess Baker still had her chopsticks in her hand, but she didn’t feel like eating, her attention drawn to the word ‘rumor’.

The fat woman was a little disappointed that Bowen Carter didn’t answer directly, but not daring to be overly slick, she volunteered to give an account of the rumors she’d heard, “The story may be a little ridiculous, Master Carter and Mrs. Carter will just have to hear it.”

“Ridiculous?” Tess Baker repeated suspiciously.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Right.” The fat woman said, “I happened to hear David Gate on the phone the other day, roughly meaning that Master Gate wanted to stop her marriage to Ben Si because he thought she might be the Si family’s granddaughter who had been taken away more than twenty years ago. It seems that the old man’s condition worsened before she died because she refused with some fierce words.”

“!” This incident was so shocking that Tess Baker digested it for a while before asking in a trembling voice, “So Elder Gate was pissed off by David Gate? David Gate could be the Si family’s granddaughter and a cousin to Ben Si?”

But if David Gate isn’t from THE Gate family and isn’t brother and sister to the senior, how could he care so much about the senior?
