Spoil Me More, Dear Huaband

Bowen Carter followed her into Beauty Garden and suddenly spoke, “Have you eaten? If you haven’t eaten, I’ll have them prepare some.”

It was 9:30 p. m. She must have eaten, but he didn’t know what to say to her other than that.

Tess Baker stopped and turned to look at him with a mocking smile, “Finished eating for the road?”

She didn’t think Bowen Carter would simply care if she’d eaten or not, and she wasn’t going to get ahead of herself anymore!

“… I didn’t mean anything by it.” Her laugh made Bowen Carter feel his chest tighten and his breathing become a little harder.

Tess Baker stared straight at him and got right to the point, “Mike’s not here, so you could have just said what you wanted to do without all the beating around the bush.”

The maid came over with fruits, hot tea, and snacks, gently placed them on the table, and then retreated.

“The new treats the kitchen has developed taste pretty good.” Bowen Carter pinched up a piece of the treat and handed it to Tess Baker’s mouth.

Tess Baker looked down, caught it, and dropped the treat to the floor as he looked on expectantly.

The gooseberry-colored treat rolled twice across the floor and finally came to a stop.

Bowen Carter’s eyes followed the treats and his heart stopped.

“It’s Wendy Summer who likes dim sum, not me.” Tess Baker is talking about fake Wendy Summer.

She didn’t know what the fake Wendy Summer’s real name was, but she did know that the fake Wendy Summer was still living over at the old mansion, resting on her laurels while she was having her baby, but even seeing her daughter was a luxury.

Bowen Carter’s fists tightened unconsciously and his voice was soft, “You’re Lucia …”

The word ‘Lucia’ made Tess Baker sick to her stomach and she gasped, her voice a little shrill from being overly drawn out, “I told you before, I’m Tess Baker, not some Wendy Summer! ”

She used to be deathly jealous of Wendy Summer because the woman named Wendy Summer could get all of Bowen Carter’s love even if she died!

But when she realized she was Wendy Summer, she felt nothing but pathetic.

From the age of fourteen to twenty-nine, she stayed with the same man for fifteen years, and what did she get in the end?

All she got was pain, suffering, and couldn’t even protect her two children! She doesn’t deserve to be their mother!

Such a Tess Baker unsettles Bowen Carter, he strides forward and hugs her hard, his voice dark, “Didn’t you always mind Lucia’s existence? She’s you, my first and last woman, you’re the only woman I’ve ever had!”

“I told you, I’m not Wendy Summer and I don’t remember anything that happened between you!” Tess Baker pushed him as hard as she could, but she couldn’t, “Bowen Carter, get off me!”

She didn’t like his touch, it made her sick!Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Her struggles and impatience made Bowen Carter apprehensive, and he cupped her chin and kissed her lips, burrowing into her realm like a nimble swimming fish, pestering her to dance with him.

The only way to make him feel safe for a minute was to be this close.

Tess Baker’s lips were numb as he drew on what little oxygen she had left, her breathing getting harder while the anger in her heart burned hotter.

What was he doing kissing her like that when he felt she had betrayed her and hated her?

A new means of humiliating her?

Tess Baker lashed out, biting down on the tip of his tongue, and the moment he withdrew in pain, she pushed him away as hard as she could and threw a slap across his face.

She’d wanted to do that for a long time!

Snap!

The sound of the slap was extraordinarily loud in the large living room.

The maid came over to change the hot tea for the two of them, not expecting to better see this scene, so scared that she nearly threw out the teapot in her hand.

“What are you waiting for? Get out of here!” Another maid walked up to her and hurriedly dragged her out.

Master Carter is in a bad mood, and it’s best if they don’t show up in front of him, or it’s not good to be blamed!

“Don’t you think I’m dirty now?” Tess Baker wiped her lips so hard that her already somewhat pale lips were swollen, “You don’t think I’m dirty, but I think you’re dirty!”

Why should Bowen Carter be able to throw dirt on her when she’s clean with the senior and she has to be generous enough to forgive him when he’s having a baby with fake Wendy Summer?

She was out of her mind before to think he was drunk and blaming him! If he really didn’t want to, how else could fake Wendy Summer force him to stand up?

“Tess Baker …” Bowen Carter touched his rapidly swelling cheek, his eyes obscure.

Does she hate him that much?

“What, trying to threaten me again?” Tess Baker clenched her fists and smiled a sneer, “What do you want to threaten me with this time? the Mark Group? the Mark Family? Mike? or my daughter?”

Bowen Carter’s throat rolled and he tried to retort, but his words ran out.

It was a fact that he had threatened her many times in just the six months or so since the reunion. Even the fact that she would be here was because of his threats.

“Say,” Tess Baker wiped the corners of her lips before stopping, “what are you trying to threaten me with again?”

Ring, ring, ring–

Ring, ring, ring–

The crisp sound of the phone kept ringing.

The two men in the living room, however, had absolutely no intention of answering the phone.

It took about half a minute for the phone to stop ringing before it began to rip and scream again.

Bowen Carter stood half a meter away from Tess Baker, yet the two felt far apart, so far that he felt he wouldn’t be able to find her in the next second.

He subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to get closer to her and embrace her in his arms.

However, he approached, she retreated, she always looked at him with alertness and disgust, and he didn’t even have a chance to close this half-meter distance with her.

“Tess Baker,” Bowen Carter called out to her, his voice sexier than usual due to his huskiness, “I’m sorry.”

It was only five words, but he said them with extra difficulty.

There was a flash of surprise in the bottom of Tess Baker’s eyes, followed by a sneer, “The sun has really risen in the west, dang Master Carter, would actually say sorry to me.”

“I’m sorry.” Bowen Carter said again, guilt and regret nearly engulfing him, “It’s been investigated, the leak of client information was done by a newcomer to the firm, and the baby in the hospital with sepsis was our child.”

Tess Baker always thought she would be thrilled the day the truth came out, but when the moment actually came, she felt nothing but mockery and sourness.

She exhaled, her voice shaking, “Did you investigate? Or did someone else investigate or did someone overheard the truth and told you?”

Bowen Carter’s back tensed and he didn’t say anything with his lips tightly minced.

“I know.” Tess Baker sniffled and casually wiped at the corner of her eye, “You didn’t initiate the investigation anyway, did you?”

How could Bowen Carter have taken the initiative to investigate when he convicted her outright without even the most basic of investigations when these two things first happened?

Would he have misunderstood her like this for the rest of his life if someone else hadn’t stumbled upon the truth, or if someone else had found out the truth?

Bowen Carter’s heart ached as he watched, and with every tear she shed, he felt as if a piece of flesh had been cut from his heart. He took a few steps forward and reached out to wipe away her tears.
