“I won’t be bringing her over again.” Bowen Carter put away his phone, stopped looking at Carter’s father Carter’s mother, turned and walked out.
At this time the sun is just right, he stood against the light, his back is determined.
Carter’s mother looked at his back and felt bitterness in her heart. She was also doing it for Mike’s sake, how come he didn’t understand her at all? Is she no better than a woman from the outside?
…
“Sister-in-law, your license plate number has been exposed, my family will definitely be able to check your car security footage! I’m leaving, you remember to tell Carter for me that his little Cliff will miss him and tell him to remember to miss his little Cliff too!” Cliff Ford cracked up a bunch of explanation and got out of the car.
Tess Baker, “…”
How did he manage to spit out words so fast and so clearly?
What a loss to the hosting world if he doesn’t become a host!
“Yes, yes, there is one more thing!” Cliff Ford did not walk two steps, and then turned back, admonished: “Sister-in-law, my cell phone number and all social accounts will stop using, you tell Carter, do not worry if you can not contact me!”
Tess Baker couldn’t help but spit, “Why don’t you change your ID number along with it?”
“Right oh!” Cliff Ford tapped his head and said with immense gratitude, “Sister-in-law, thanks to your reminder! I’ll see if I can get a fake ID! I’m really leaving, sister-in-law don’t miss me too much, oh, and you remember to remind Linda Mark to hurry up and find a way to run away!”
The cab driver who was waiting for Cliff Ford couldn’t help but sigh, he was really helpless when he met a talkative customer!
Cliff Ford finally finished his dictation and got into a cab, and kept waving goodbye to Tess Baker before leaving.
Tess Baker waved her hand meaningfully and drove for over an hour back to her neighborhood.
It was eleven o’clock, so she went into the kitchen and steamed some rice and fried a shredded fish and pork. Since Bowen Carter and Mike were out anyway, she made do with what she had to eat and then went to the office.
Ding Dong!
Tess Baker had just set the meal on the table when the doorbell rang.
She got in front of the cat’s eyes and opened the door, “You didn’t eat over at the old house!”
Bowen Carter didn’t answer, just looked at her quietly, then suddenly took her in his arms and held her tight.
“What’s wrong?” She hugged him back and gently patted his back.
He doesn’t seem happy … is it because she tricked her mother-in-law?
“I’m sorry for not protecting you.” Bowen Carter’s chin rested on her shoulder, his cool voice laced with a hidden guilt.
Tess Baker froze.
A man as arrogant as he is would rather someone beat him up than say sorry to someone.
But now, just because he didn’t protect her, he willingly said sorry to her …
“It’s okay.” A sweet smile swirled in her eyes, “I don’t blame you. But what if I didn’t know you were coming back and only cooked for one person?”
…
Tess Baker made another serving of noodles with soup, but accidentally put too much salt in. She tried to make a new one, but Bowen Carter grabbed the noodles with a condescending look on her face, “No one told you to be frugal?”
“But I don’t think frugality suits you very well.” Tess Baker reached for the noodles.
He has a lot of problems, professional chefs can pick out a bunch of problems with the cooking, how can he eat her noodles with too much salt?
But he was tall, a gentle lift, she jumped and could not touch it.
Seeing this, Tess Baker sighed helplessly. Forget it, she’ll share some rice with him later!
But what she didn’t expect was that Bowen Carter actually finished the bowl of noodles without changing his face, only to drink two large glasses of water afterwards.
“I’ve told you not to eat, and you still do.” Tess Baker poured a glass of water and placed it in front of him.
Bowen Carter picked up his glass, drained it, and said coldly and stiffly, “It’s okay.”
As long as she’s the one cooking!
Tess Baker smiled and got ready to go scrub the dishes.
“I’ll do it.” Bowen Carter stood up, grabbed the dishes out of her hands, and marched into the kitchen with long legs.
Tess Baker raised one eyebrow and muttered in a small voice, “Since when does Bowen Carter wash dishes?”
Just after the words –
Wow!
It seems that the bowl is broken.
Tess Baker ran into the kitchen, her eyes moving from the ceramic shards on the floor to Bowen Carter.
“It was just an accident.” Bowen Carter handsome face a calm, take the rest of that bowl, put … a big pile of detergent!
Tess Baker, “!!!!”
Who told him to wash a bowl with so much detergent?
“Ahem!” She coughed softly and stepped up to him, “Bowen Carter, it’s better if I do it.”
She’s afraid he’ll break this bowl too!
“No need. It’s so simple, I can do it right.” Bowen Carter whirls around with a bowl in one hand and a dishcloth in the other.
And then –
Wow!
Tess Baker, “…”
What about the promised simplicity?
She only had five bowls in total, and he lost two of them at once!
“There’s something wrong with the detergent, it’s too slippery.” Bowen Carter, both hands empty and still stained with foam, frowned.
Something so simple, he doesn’t think the problem appears to be himself!
“… Well, detergent’s the problem.” Tess Baker, fearing his irritation, gave him the step, “Go wash your hands while I wash the rice cooker.”
Bowen Carter didn’t leave and stood by to watch her clean up. She cleaned up very skillfully, definitely a kitchen veteran.
“Washing dishes hurts your hands, so why not get a babysitter?” He remembered that women cared about their hands.
Tess Baker had already finished cleaning up and pushed him out of the kitchen, “I didn’t have any money when I first left you, and then I got rich, and I still feel comfortable cooking for myself. And I used to cook a lot at home, I got used to it a long time ago.”
“Do you cook a lot at home?” Bowen Carter sat down on the couch and sat her on his lap, grimacing, “Your family uses you as a babysitter?”
“It’s scary to be so sullen all day, smile!” Tess Baker grabbed the edge of his mouth with both hands and pulled out an arc of a smile.
Bowen Carter grabbed her hand, dominant and insistent, “Answer me!”
He doesn’t know anything about her previous life!
“There’s not much to say.” Tess Baker leaned on his shoulder and played with his fingers, “It’s just that both my parents are patriarchal and favor my brother more, and then my brother was raised to fly off the handle. As for me, I haven’t received a birthday present since I was sixteen, so maybe mom and dad forgot about my birthday a long time ago.”
As she said this, she suddenly remembered something, “Bowen Carter, I have to state something for the record: you were really drugged by my dad, I was drugged too, and in a strict sense, I was considered a victim.”
She had explained it before, but Bowen Carter didn’t believe her and was convinced she was a gold-digger!
“Why didn’t you say that before?” Bowen Carter wrapped his arms tightly around her waist, his dark eyes tumbling with intense emotion.
He hated her so much back then, most of all because she drugged him and climbed into his bed!
