“But you made my mommy abort!” The little guy shouted at the top of his lungs, and he almost disappeared from the world.
Bowen Carter knocking on the desktop action stopped, the bottom of the eyes crossed a trace of pain and struggle … five years ago the accidental loss of the child, has been his heart’s pain!
“I’ll make it up to your mommy.” His voice was a little hoarse and he said it with a lot of solemnity.
The little one was so angry that he stood up on the table and pointed at him, “But that child is dead, he is dead, how are you going to make up for him! How are you going to make it up to mommy for what she’s suffered these past five years?!”
The little one’s voice is so milky, but every word seems to be a sharp knife that shines, stabbing Bowen Carter’s heart to pieces.
These are the questions he’s been avoiding!
Ta.
Ta.
The sound of high heels on the floor came from the stairs.
The little guy wind up jumping off the table and sitting on the couch playing with his phone in a disciplined manner, mommy doesn’t like him going against daddy.
“Mike, your Aunt Linda wants to see you.” Tess Baker was relieved to see that father and son were not fighting; Linda had agreed to let the doctor in and wanted to see Mike.
In fact, Linda wants the freedom of marriage, and the aunt wants Linda to be happy, it is not clear who is right and who is wrong.
The little one hmmed and took the Rubik’s Cube upstairs.
Tess Baker looked at Bowen Carter and sat across from him, “Let’s talk.”
She can not escape his palm, can only talk to him, can not always be so consumed.
“I have things to do.” Bowen Carter, instinctively trying to escape, got up and strode out.
Tess Baker looked at his back and sighed, unable to tell what was going on in her heart.
She has always been clean and clear, and hates to be entangled, but she was entangled with Bowen Carter for eight years.
But I have to admit, he did not painfully say divorce, her heart actually have a small sense of happiness.
She is now conflicted, on the one hand, she thinks he still loves Wendy Summer and wants to break with him for good and start a new life; on the other hand, she can’t let go of her love for him yet and hopes he will choose her between Wendy Summer and her – even though she knows it’s a fool’s dream!
“Tess,” Mark’s mother said as she walked down the stairs with a few moments of joy on her face.
Tess Baker threw her churning thoughts out of her head and stood up.
“The doctor has already treated Linda’s wounds. Tess, it’s all thanks to you this time! You’ve helped Linda so much, I don’t even know how to thank you!” Mark’s mother grabbed Tess Baker’s hand and was very grateful.
Tess Baker smiled helplessly, “Auntie, you are too kind. Linda and I are good friends, and five years ago, if it weren’t for Linda and you and uncle, I would have been dead. If I were to say thank you, I would be the one to say thank you to you.”
“Then let’s not be polite to anyone! Tess, I’ll cook for lunch today, and you and Mike will eat here!” Linda is so lucky to have such a good friend!
Tess Baker declined, “Mike stay here for dinner, I have to go back to the office, so I won’t eat here.”
Because of Bowen Carter and Wendy Summer’s affair, she is now in a bad mood and has been staying here, she is afraid that her aunt will find out the abnormality and affect her mood by association.
“Then I’ll have someone send it to you at noon! Tess, even busy work is not as important as your body, cherish your body!” Mark’s mother admonished her for a while longer before letting Tess Baker leave.
…
By the time Tess Baker arrived at the office in a taxi, there was a circle of people downstairs –
“No matter how you say it, you are still family, so this is too much!”
“Tess Baker is a boss herself, but she can’t even pay for her father’s one million dollar operation, how unfilial!”
“As soon as I saw her usual slutty look, I thought she was not a good person!”
The crowd has been talking, saying that there is a nose, talking Tess Baker has become a disloyal, unrighteous and ungrateful and evil devil.
“Doesn’t everyone have to go to work?” Tess Baker stood outside the crowd with a sneer on her face.
Her voice was soft, but it was like a bomb thrown into the crowd, blowing up a bunch of onlookers into a blank mind.
They turned to look at Tess Baker, who was standing outside the crowd, and the righteous crusade that had just been going on had long since dissolved into silence.
They are not afraid of Tess Baker, but discussing people behind their backs and cursing them to their faces are two concepts, people are used to using knives behind their backs, but it takes courage to even say ‘your clothes don’t look good’ to their faces.
Tess Baker cold eyes swept through the crowd, “You all have a clear understanding, just listening to a sentence or two can determine the whole story, more powerful than Bao Zheng to determine the case, why not go to become a judge?”
A group of passers-by, always listening to the wind, as if they have much knowledge of the parties involved.
She was so mocked, but no one dared to say anything. They dare to mix in the crowd to curse, but stand out alone to curse … or forget it!
Tess Baker grunted lightly and walked towards the crowd, the crowd consciously gave her a way to dodge, revealing the Baker’s mother sitting in the middle in mourning.
The Baker’s mother was on her knees, her eyes red with tears. Two banners were hanging behind her, one reading ‘Tess Baker has no heart, let her old father die of illness’ and the other reading ‘begging her daughter Tess Baker for a million dollars for surgery’.
In front of her lay a large one-square-meter piece of white paper, on which was written all over –
[Tess Baker, female, twenty-eight years old, **** materials company boss. Our family has little money, but Tess Baker grew up wanting the best of everything, and when I said that was bad, she beat and scolded me. We had no choice but to save our family money to pay for her expenses alone until she graduated from college].
[In order to pay for her college education, her now twelve-year-old brother dropped out of middle school and worked part-time to earn money for her to spend. The neighbors wanted us to call the police, but we thought she was family after all, so we chose to put up with it. But since she married into the Carter family, she has become more and more disrespectful. Her father is very sick and is dying, but she can’t even give us a million dollars!
There is a bunch more written on the back, all upside down.
Tess Baker guessed that her mother was making a scene, but she couldn’t stop getting chills when she saw such a large list of crimes.
Is this, really, not an enemy?
“Tess Baker ah, as I begged you, you pity pity your father!” the Baker’s mother this time did not spill, thump thump thump thump on the ground kowtow, “your father has always loved you, you want a Chanel high-definition and others to compare, your father also ate two months of steamed buns and pickles to save you out, you really want to see him die ah?”
Miss Cole said that Master Carter will kick Tess Baker out soon and she won’t get paid then!
She has to seize the opportunity!
Seeing this, the crowd whispered accusations against Tess Baker, as if Tess Baker was their father’s enemy.
Tess Baker has no intention of explaining to the crowd that her life is her own and she doesn’t need anyone else to understand it.
She took out her checkbook, signed for a million, and handed it to the Baker’s mother.
the Baker’s mother reached out to take it, but Tess Baker pulled back, “Mom, since you saved money to pay for my college, you must remember which college I went to, right?”
