Spoil Me More, Dear Huaband

“It’s not good for the baby.” Bowen Carter, unable to see her look disoriented, added.

Tess Baker lowered her eyelids, her heart growing sour. Did he think she was pregnant and still trying to seduce him, not even thinking about the baby, not worthy of motherhood?

In this moment, she missed the figure she once had beyond measure.

“You stay here and keep watch for me, and let me know when they come out!” The sound of keys scraping against the lockhole stopped, and Carter’s mother threw down the word as her footsteps faded away.

Bowen Carter had just slipped into his suit pants, his brow furrowed and his whole body reeking of lust. He inclined his head to the bed, where Tess Baker lay under the covers with her head covered, and wondered what she was thinking.

He slipped the suit pants he’d just put on back on and went into the bathroom, where, not much later, there was a splash of water and a few other noises coming from inside.

…

Bowen Carter says things that make Tess Baker feel awkward about being alone in a room with him, but she doesn’t want to go out and be caught by Carter’s mother going to the civil court to get a divorce papers, so she has to pretend to be asleep.

The sound of water in the bathroom continued for over half an hour before stopping, and Bowen Carter walked over to the bed to get dressed.

Tess Baker wanted to see him so badly, but didn’t have the courage, for fear he would kick her out of his room. She listened to the rustle of dressing in her ears, and then there was a darkness before her eyes, and it seemed as if he came up to her.

She subconsciously held her breath, afraid that he would realize she was pretending to be asleep.

A gaze that seemed like substance fell on her for a long moment, then he bent down, tucked her in, and his footsteps drifted away from her.

Tess Baker opened her eyes and stared blankly at his back.

He actually … tucked her in?

Bowen Carter had reached the door and was about to turn and close it. Afraid that he would see her looking at him, she hastily closed her eyes and waited until she heard the door close before opening them and sitting up.

She was really getting confused, did he have her in his heart or not?

Duh–

Duh–

The phone vibrated and Tess Baker realized that Bowen Carter had left it behind. She padded over to see that the caller ID was Wendy Summer.

She was tempted to get through and ask Wendy Summer what she was doing calling Bowen Carter, but she held her tongue.

Tess Baker got dressed and went downstairs with her cell phone with some trepidation, but there was no sign of Carter’s mother or Bowen Carter.

Just as Aunt Zhang passed by, she asked, “Aunt Zhang, have you seen Bowen Carter?”

“Mr. and Mrs. went out.” Aunt Zhang inadvertently swept the hickey on her neck and awkwardly averted her gaze, “Tess, don’t be annoyed if I say a few words about you.”

“You said.” Tess Baker said absentmindedly.

Bowen Carter is out with her mother-in-law? Where did they go? In his position, could he have gotten a divorce decree if he went to the civil court alone?

“You can do whatever you want with mister in private, but this is too much of a mess in front of madam. Can’t you … you wait a little while with monsieur here? If Madam opens the door at that moment, how ugly the scene will be!” Aunt Zhang said seriously.

Not realizing that Aunt Zhang was talking about this, Tess Baker smiled awkwardly and tugged her collar upwards unnaturally, not really knowing how to answer.

“In the future, in front of elders ah, pay attention.” Aunt Zhang said.

Tess Baker nodded with a dry smile and excused herself to go upstairs, it was too awkward to talk to Aunt Zhang about that aspect.

Wendy Summer called a few more times, Tess Baker didn’t like her, but fearing an emergency for a pregnant woman, hesitated for a moment and finally answered, “You …”All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

She had just said one word when she was interrupted by the other side, “Bowen, you said a long time ago that you would accompany me to the pregnancy test today, you didn’t forget, did you?”

Tess Baker gripped the phone a little harder, her fingertips whitening a little.

“Why don’t you say something? I remember you said that you wouldn’t favor Tess Baker’s kids over mine. This is your own words, you can’t go back on them!” Lucy Kid pouted, her voice sweet, like a young girl in love.

Tess Baker clutched her cell phone, her fingertips white with exertion.

Is what Wendy Summer said true or false?

“Hey Bowen, why don’t you say something? Is Tess Baker pestering you again and pissing you off?” Lucy Kid asked.

Tess Baker’s pupils crinkled and her hands couldn’t stop shaking, “And what do you … mean by that?”

She thought she understood, but then she thought she didn’t. Did Bowen Carter tell Wendy Summer that she annoyed him by pestering him?

“Miss Baker, why is Bowen’s cell phone in your hands?” Lucy Kid had a surprised tone, then came to a realization, “Oh, I see, are you peeking at the messages in Bowen’s phone so that you can tip off Mr. Gu?”

Before Tess Baker could answer, she continued, “You promised Bowen just a few days ago that you would never rat him out, and now you end up doing something like this, can you stand up to him?”

“I don’t need you to judge whether I did right by him or not!” Tess Baker hung up the phone with a grimace and slowly crouched down, wrapping her hands around her knees.

Did Bowen Carter really agree to accompany Wendy Summer to her pregnancy test?

Was he so disappointed in her that he wanted to start over with Wendy Summer? Is there any hope for her then?

“How do you know it won’t work if you don’t try?!” Tess Baker took a deep breath and stood up, determination replacing the bitterness in her eyes.

She fought with all her might for his forgiveness, and even if she failed, she would have no regrets!

Tess Baker put on her coat, carried her bag downstairs, and had one of the maids drive her to The Carter Group. Bowen Carter was a workaholic and spent most of his time at the company, so she should have been right to come to him at the office.

“Hello ma’am.” Seeing her, several employees smiled and greeted her.

Tess Baker nodded at them and headed for the president’s elevator. As soon as she left, the few employees who had greeted her murmured–

“Why are you guys still calling her ma’am, the president has divorced her!”

“Many say that our spy for The Carter Group is Tess Baker, who betrayed the president to help Young Master Gate.”

“The president told someone to keep the fact that Tess Baker is a mole a secret, but the company executives all know about it, so I don’t know how she has the face to come to the company!”

“Then should we stop her from using the president’s elevator?”

“Mind your own business, there’s Secretary Wang and the others up there.”

Their murmurs weren’t loud, but they weren’t small either, just loud enough for Tess Baker to hear them. Or rather, they were saying it on purpose for her to hear.

Tess Baker’s face went a shade of red and white, embarrassed and embarrassed but with nothing to retort with, after all, they were telling the truth.

The elevator arrived and she got on it amidst their stares of either mockery or anger or amusement.

Watching the elevator numbers keep changing, she was a little nervous, this was the first time she had come to the office since the wiretap incident.

“Madam?!” The moment the elevator door opened, Secretary Wang was shocked.

Tess Baker nodded a little awkwardly, “Secretary Wang.”

“I didn’t expect Madam to come to the company, some surprise, don’t be offended.” Secretary Wang quickly recovered his naturalness.

“It’s okay, is Bowen Carter at work?”

“Well, the president just arrived not long ago.”

Tess Baker said that was fine and headed inside with her bag.

“Madam!” Secretary Wang quickly stood in front of her and asked with a smile, “What do you want with the president?”

Her demeanor seemed the same as before, but Tess Baker could sense her detachment and wariness, “Bowen Carter left his cell phone at home, I’m here to deliver it to him.”
