Spoil Me More, Dear Huaband

Bowen Carter looked at her with a haunted gaze and said nothing as he sauntered over and sat down next to her. Her fists on her knees clenched unconsciously, and she felt only the heavy weight of his breath pressing down on her, almost suffocating her.

“Bowen Carter,” Tess Baker called out to him in a very small voice.

He turned his head to look at her, the darkness under his eyes, reflecting only her figure.

Tess Baker was going to come forward and admit to the wiretap, but the words changed, “Get Staphen Baker out of here, he’s not appropriate here.”

In the past, she felt that Bowen Carter had wronged her, and it didn’t matter if the wiretap thing was discovered, she wasn’t afraid of his questioning. But when she knew the truth, she didn’t dare to face his questioning anymore, she would feel guilty, she would … feel shameless.

“After a while.” Bowen Carter was still unsure of her, and Staphen Baker was here, to some extent, to prevent her from escaping.

Tess Baker oh, something was on his mind and he was not in the mood to negotiate with him about Staphen Baker again.

The two men sat in the hall for a while before they finally had to go back to their room to rest. Tess Baker walked beside him with a thousand apprehensions, and in just a few minutes as many as a couple dozen scenarios of what would happen in a few moments had already flashed through her mind.

But none of the dozens of scenario predictions were true, and as soon as the two were back in the room, before she could turn on the lights, Bowen Carter pinned her against the wall, with one arm around her waist and the other on her shoulder.

Unable to see his features in the darkness, Tess Baker could only sense a shadowy confidence in him that wanted to devour everything.

“Tess Baker,” he called out to her, his cool voice laced with a few emotions she didn’t understand.

The warm breath he exhaled spilled over Tess Baker’s face, making her feel more and more uneasy, “What’s wrong?”

“If someone forces you to do something you don’t want to do, you can tell me.” Bowen Carter cupped her chin, as if desperately trying to hold something back.

Tess Baker’s hands hanging at her sides clutched the corners of her coat, and unable to turn her head, she lowered her eyes to hide the emotions underneath them, “… No.”

The thing about helping the senior to put the bug is that she did it voluntarily, no one forced her.

“Really?” Bowen Carter squeezed three words through his teeth and squeezed her jaw a few times harder.

Tess Baker’s jaw was pinched raw, but there was no struggle, just a hmmm.

In the darkness, Bowen Carter’s breathing sounded thicker, as if the dormant beast was about to rage.

“If I did something wrong to you, but I regretted it, would you forgive me?” Tess Baker’s voice was getting fainter and fainter as she strained to look at him, but could only see a vague outline in the darkness.

Bowen Carter’s head dropped a little lower, almost to her face, “What have you done to wrong me?”

“… I was just making an assumption.” Tess Baker still doesn’t have the guts to say anything about the wiretap, still holding out a glimmer of hope that he didn’t find it.

Bowen Carter let go of her and snapped on the room’s lights.

The sudden appearance of light stabbed Tess Baker’s eyes, she subconsciously closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, Bowen Carter’s back was to her, and she still couldn’t see his scowl.

“That doesn’t change the fact that you did something wrong.” Bowen Carter said coldly.

Tess Baker clenched her lower lip until the tender flesh on the inside of her lip was bitten and she let go. It was something she’d just said to Wendy Summer back in the afternoon, and now it was her turn to hear it.

Bowen Carter changed into his pajamas and went to the bathroom without even looking at her.

When she went to bed at night, he didn’t hold her like he usually did, and she looked at his back and the distance between them and just felt like she was eating yellow fever.

…

When Tess Baker opened her eyes the next day, the other half of the bed was long gone. She felt empty and disappointed and relieved at the same time.

At the very least, he hadn’t told her about the wiretap yet!

She got up and went downstairs and Aunt Zhang said with a smile, “Sir is waiting for you to join us in the dining room.”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Tess Baker’s body stiffened, Bowen Carter hadn’t left yet? She gave a mental oh-oh and entered the dining room with a few moments of resistance.

In the restaurant, Carter’s white shirt and black suit pants, a simple color scheme that doesn’t affect his face value, but rather makes his features look even more handsome. He was flipping through the morning newspaper, when he saw her come in, he folded up the newspaper and put it on the table, picking up chopsticks.

Lucy Kid sat beside him and saw him pick up his chopsticks before following suit. Last night, she had already figured out that between her, her grandma and Tess Baker, she could only choose to save her and her grandma, and as for Tess Baker, she could only apologize to her.

“It’s getting late, why are you waiting for me to eat?” Tess Baker asked in a mock calm voice as she sat down on the other side of Bowen Carter.

Bowen Carter took a sip of his porridge and swallowed it before saying, irrefutably, “You’re going to the office today, too.”

“What am I … doing at the office?” Tess Baker struggled to maintain her composure, but there was still a flash of panic under her eyes and her voice trembled.

He basically doesn’t invite her to the office, the time he looked at the financial report was an accident, what’s he suddenly asking her to do at the office today? About the wiretap?

“Dinner.” Bowen Carter just spat out two words coldly and didn’t answer her.

Tess Baker did not know what she was eating, she did not even realize that the porridge was too hot, she was burned twice, her mouth was hot and spicy, but what was more difficult was her heart. She was like a prisoner in ancient times, stepping on a brass pole with oil poured underneath and a fire lit, tormented but unable to retreat.

After eating, Bowen Carter threw her coat at her and the two of them took a ride together to The Carter Group.

Nearly a month has passed since the beginning of spring, the trees on both sides of the road are pulling out green buds, the wind is a little milder than usual, and everywhere there is the smell of everything recovering.

But for Tess Baker it was a freezing cold. She got out of her car and stood in front of The Carter Group, staring fixedly at the gilt letters, even as she felt the urge to run her legs back.

“It’s so distracting that the management mole hasn’t been caught yet!”

“Yes, I hate this kind of people, disgusting, the group has lost a lot of money this time.”

The two employees who came to work were chatting and stopped talking in time to greet Bowen Carter and Tess Baker respectfully when they reached them.

Tess Baker licked her dry lips and took a small swallow. the Carter Group employees are so disgusted with this ‘mole’, Bowen Carter is probably more!

“Get in.” Bowen Carter finished indifferently and took the first step towards the front.

Tess Baker looked at the empty hand, disappointed, yesterday he was holding her, fingers interlocked, but today the two have become strangers!

She gathered her mixed feelings and followed Bowen Carter into the elevator with a thousand apprehensions.

“I’m trying to trust you.” Bowen Carter said suddenly.

Tess Baker snapped her head up, ‘But I don’t deserve your trust, I put the bug in’ clogged up her throat and couldn’t get it out.

“I hope that decision wasn’t a mistake.” Bowen Carter looked down at her with dark eyes that seemed to have seen everything.
