Spoil Me More, Dear Huaband

Tess Baker sneered, this was Bowen Carter, he did whatever he wanted straight away, wherever he wanted to go straight away, when had he ever knocked on a door?

“I put my pajamas in the bathroom doorway.” The sound of the doorknob turning stopped and Bowen Carter’s voice rang out from the doorway.

Tess Baker paused in her scrubbing of her body and looked toward the door.

“Heh!” She let out a meaningful laugh and threw the bath towel into the bath, and the moment the two touched, blood, barely visible to the naked eye, flowed down the towel into the bath and spread in the water.

She stepped out of the bath, drained the water in it, and after briefly scrubbing her body, she opened the door and grabbed the pajamas that were by the door, draping them over her body.

“It’s late, get some rest.” Bowen Carter’s eyes had been on her since she came out.

Tess Baker tightened her lips and clenched her fists unconsciously as she took a deep breath and lay back on the bed, her back to Bowen Carter.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“It’s not good to sleep with wet hair, I’ll blow-dry your hair.” The man who had always been untamed was now careful even when he spoke.

Tess Baker closed her eyes and pretended not to hear.

Bowen Carter is always like that, spoiling someone to death when he treats them well, and making them live and die when he treats them poorly.

Even if he is kind to her now, she can t forgive him … Who knows if he will flip out the next moment as he did before?

She’d had enough of his shifty ways!

Her hair was gently ruffled and hot air blew warmly down her hair to Tess Baker’s neck. But due to the unskillfulness of the person blowing her hair, a strand of her hair got tangled in the dryer, tearing and hurting her scalp.

Her head was sweating from the pain, but she just opened her eyes and didn’t say a word.

She didn’t want, at least not right now, to talk to Bowen Carter!

“Did I hurt you?” Bowen Carter’s cool voice was laced with undisguised heartache, and he moved a little more carefully than he had just done, “I’ll be gentle.”

Tess Baker stared straight at the small cabinet at the foot of the bed and let him fiddle with it, never saying a word.

Bowen Carter dried her hair before turning off the light and laying down under the covers, hugging her from behind, his head resting on her shoulder.

Their bodies were set close together, his body heat hot, but Tess Baker felt her blood run cold. She frowned and tried to push him away, but he held her a little tighter.

“I’m sorry, Tess Baker,” Bowen Carter murmured in her ear, “whatever you want me to do, will you forgive me?”

Hearing this, Tess Baker found it extraordinarily funny that she was the one who said this not long ago, but now it’s him, it’s really a creation!

“Do you think it’s possible?” Her body was stiff, her voice full of mockery, “I begged you so many times, you didn’t believe me, and you switched methods to humiliate me and send me to jail to torture me, do you think I can forgive you?”

This time was a nightmare for her!

Her daughter’s sepsis was already hurting her, and she shuddered to think what she would do if something happened to her!

“It wasn’t me who sent you to jail.” Her attitude scared Bowen Carter, he held her tightly, afraid that she would disappear from his sight the next second, “That lawyer Liu was arranged by Grandpa, not me!”

Tess Baker sneered, not at all convinced.

If he hadn’t arranged it, how could Lawyer Liu have taken her away without a hitch under the eyes of the two bodyguards and the new maid?

Those two bodyguards and the maid are his people!

“It really wasn’t me who arranged for Lawyer Liu, I don’t have to lie to you!” Bowen Carter explained eagerly, but he didn’t get any response from her.

Obviously, she didn’t believe him.

At this moment, he suddenly realized how helpless … and hopeless and desperate Tess Baker had been when she had begged him to believe her.

“Tess Baker, we’re only twenty-nine and there’s still a long life behind us. You give me a chance to spend the rest of my life making it up to you and the two kids, okay?” Bowen Carter’s voice was soft, even a little shaky.

“No good.” Without a moment’s hesitation, Tess Baker wrenched his hand away with all her might, “From the moment you uttered the words feral, you didn’t stand a chance.”

Not everything that happens can be forgiven.

Bowen Carter dropped his eyes, hiding the pain underneath them, and he regretted it, like he never had before!

The two bodies were close together, so close that there was no longer a gap, but he felt that he couldn’t see where she was.

Tess Baker’s back was pressed against Bowen Carter’s chest, the smell of his men’s perfume enveloping her, sending a wave of distraction through her that prevented her from sleeping at all.

She lifted the covers and sat up, intending to go out.

Even sleeping in the hall was better than sleeping next to him!

“You go to sleep, and I’ll take care of something in the study.” Taking her movements in, Bowen Carter pushed down the loss in his heart, stood up, and pushed the door open.

He had already done so many things wrong and didn’t want to add to her problems.

Tess Baker watched the door close, licked her dry lips, and lay back down. The covers still smelled of him and she frowned, closing her eyes.

After tossing and turning all day, she was really tired.

Bowen Carter pushed the door out and didn’t leave, but stood against it for a long time until there was no sound at all from the room before he made his way down the stairs to the hall.

He sat in the darkened hall, it was getting late, but he was sleepless, all he could think about was Tess Baker.

She said she has no memories of her time as Lucia.

She said she wouldn’t give him another chance.

Bowen Carter let out a pained breath and leaned back against the couch, closing his eyes.

He had always hoped to have a good life with Tess Baker, no Dennis Gate, no Snowy Cole, just their family of four, happy and peaceful.

But he destroyed such a life with his own hands.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust Tess Baker, it’s just … just that he cares about her so much that he’s always afraid she’ll go away as quietly as she did six years ago.

He’s afraid that if he’s not perfect, she’ll leave with Dennis Gate, and he’s just insecure.

“Who? Who’s sitting where?” Aunt Zhang questioned.

Bowen Carter looked straight ahead, into the darkness, as he had all his life.

Snap!

The lights came on in the hall.

Aunt Zhang looked at Bowen Carter, who was sitting on the sofa wearing only his pajamas, and was surprised, “It’s so late, why aren’t you resting?”

Bowen Carter, exhaustion on his handsome face, did not utter a word.

“Sir, would you like to make you a midnight snack?” Aunt Zhang remembered that he hadn’t had dinner.

“No need.” Bowen Carter’s voice was a little raspy, “You go rest without me.”

Aunt Zhang hesitated for a while before saying, “You can’t rush things with Tess, you have to take your time.”

Bowen Carter hmmm’d and waved a hand toward her, “Turn off the lights when you leave.”

“The guest rooms are all clean, and there are quilts and pillows in them, would you like to go to the guest rooms to rest?” Aunt Zhang asked.

Bowen Carter wants his head down and looks down at the ground, his form looking extraordinarily forlorn.

Aunt Zhang sighed heavily and left without another word.
