Spoil Me More, Dear Huaband

“Don’t you make a face here.” Ben Si warned her in a whisper, “If you really screw this up, our engagement is off.”

In the past, David Gate would never have put up with it, but thinking of the difficulties The Gate Group is in today, she gritted her teeth and put up with it.

“She needs to recuperate.” Sensing Tess Baker’s rejection of the men, Bowen Carter said coldly.

Elder Si hurriedly said, “We’ll all keep quiet for a while.”

Bowen Carter’s thin lips tensed into a straight line as displeasure tumbled around him.

“We’re leaving!” Ben Si was afraid of pissing him off and pulled Elder Si, “Grandpa, Tess needs to recuperate, we’d better go back.”

Elder Si obviously didn’t want to go, “You go with David, I’ll stay here in peace and quiet and not disturb Tess’s rest.”

Ben Si was a bit anxious, Master Carter had kicked out the people, they had to go, “Grandpa, don’t lose your temper, you’ve seen the people and the things have been delivered, we should go.”

However, no matter what he said, Elder Si just wouldn’t go.

Bowen Carter’s look was becoming more and more biting, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive as his scent filled every corner of the hospital room.

“The old man stays here, you guys go ahead.” Tess Baker didn’t know why she said that, perhaps, because the old man was acting like a true elder.

Ben Si subconsciously looks over at Bowen Carter and sees that he has no objections and joyfully tugs David Gate away. Tess Baker is starting to embrace the old man, so that means things are looking up for The Si Group!

His glee was well hidden, but Tess Baker sensed it anyway and frowned.

“Tess ah, this dragon fruit is good, try it!” Elder Si took out a large dragon fruit from the fruit basket and handed it to her with a hopeful face.

Tess Baker shook her head no, “I don’t want any, thanks.”

Polite and detached.

Elder Si snapped and retrieved the dragon fruit, letting out a sigh of emotion, “Your mom used to like dragon fruit, I thought you liked it too.”

Tess Baker has no memory of her real mother and can’t catch a break.

“She likes strawberries and kiwis.” Off to the side, Bowen Carter suddenly spoke up.

Elder Si hurriedly went to look at the fruit basket, both of which happened to be missing, and he had the word embarrassment written all over his face.

“Dragon fruit is also good, you can give it to me.” Seeing the old man pleasing himself so much, Tess Baker’s heart felt quite bad.

Before she was at THE Baker Family, every day was a battle for her to please her mom and dad and them, and that was a feeling she really didn’t want to remember again.

Master Si was delighted and hurriedly took out that dragon fruit just now, peeled it, and handed it to her.

“I’ll do it.” Bowen Carter took the dragon fruit with a grimace, pulled a fruit knife out of a drawer, cut it into chunks, put it on a disposable paper plate, stuck a couple of toothpicks in it, and handed it to Tess Baker.

Fruit was often eaten in the ward, and disposable paper plates, fruit knives and toothpicks were prepared by the hospital.

Seeing this, Elder Si was a bit embarrassed, usually it was others who served him, this was the first time he served someone else, forgetting that he also had to cut the dragon fruit into pieces.

“You can have some too.” Tess Baker placed the dragon fruit in front of Master Si.

“I don’t eat, just watch you eat.” Master Si shook his head and didn’t eat, carefully asking, “How is it, is this dragon fruit sweet?”

“Uh-huh.” Tess Baker responded, hesitating, sticking up a piece of dragon fruit and handing it to Bowen Carter’s mouth.

He looked at her with downcast eyes, his gaze dark, but he didn’t move.

Tess Baker was lost and embarrassed, how could he eat something she handed him when he was still mad at her?

She licked her dry lips and was about to retract them when a large, warm hand grabbed hers and directed her to bring the dragon fruit to Bowen Carter’s mouth.

Tess Baker looked up just in time to collide with Bowen Carter’s line of sight, and her heart missed a beat, followed by one that beat at an even faster rate. The hand he was holding felt like it had been attached to a warm baby and slowly began to heat up and burn.

“Tess and Master Carter are so affectionate.” Master Si said with a smile, “You two have been together for quite some time, when are you going to make up a wedding?”

The smile on Tess Baker’s face froze and her fingers curled together uncontrollably. She inclined her head to look at Bowen Carter’s angular, handsome face, and her heart sank with bitterness.

They’re divorced, how can they make up a wedding?

“We’re divorced.” Bowen Carter said with a grimace as she let go of Tess Baker’s hand.

The smile on Master Si’s face froze as he subconsciously looked in Tess Baker’s direction. She bowed her head, obviously acquiescing. He let out a long sigh, properly, what was he doing asking that question?Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

The atmosphere in the hospital room was subtle, and no one spoke again.

“When you get out of the hospital, we’ll go to the civil court and get a divorce decree.” Bowen Carter spoke coldly, breaking the silence.

Tess Baker clutched the quilt with both hands and tried to pull a smile together as she asked with feigned relief, “Will you change your mind before we even get to the civil office?”

She gulped, her voice much lower, “I can spend the rest of my life making up for what I did.”

Give her another chance, she would never betray him!

Bowen Carter sneered and cupped her chin with one hand, sarcasm in his brow, “Do you think that’s possible?”

Each word was like a sharp knife stabbing into Tess Baker’s heart, she wanted to laugh and say ‘just kidding’. But she couldn’t, her nose and the corners of her eyes were a little sore, something wanted to come out of her eyes.

She struggled to keep her eyes open, forcing back the tears that had reached the corners of her eyes.

“We’re done, Tess Baker,” the corners of her reddened eyes made Bowen Carter blink at the look and he frowned, ruthlessly not looking away from her, “Stop asking such stupid questions.”

When he finished speaking, he let go of her chin and sauntered out of the hospital room with a sullen face.

His jaw hurt a little when he squeezed it, but where Tess Baker hurt more was in her heart. He’d answered so decisively, what Wind Carter had said wouldn’t even come true, would it?

“… Wipe it off.” Elder Si didn’t know what to say and finally handed her over a tissue.

Tess Baker took the paper towel and watched the liquid stain the paper towel before she realized she was actually crying. She awkwardly wiped the tears from her eyes, “I’m just a little sore from the cuts on my body.”

I don’t know if pregnant women are sensitive or what, but she’s been crying more and more these days, and she can’t stand it.

Elder Si didn’t break down her lie, just silently handed over another piece of paper.

When she adjusted her emotions, Si old man did not hold back and asked, “I see Master Carter quite care about you, how did you … divorce?”

“Because I did something wrong.” Tess Baker didn’t want to talk about it anymore, she laid down and turned her back to him and said, “I’m a little tired, I want to rest, you go ahead.”

Elder Si let out a long sigh, “Okay, then I’ll come back to see you tomorrow, you rest well.”

He walks out of the hospital room and carefully closes the door, only to turn around and realize that Bowen Carter is standing in the hallway, looking through the window at Tess Baker inside.
