Bowen Carter wanted to explain, but annoyed that Tess Baker did not believe him, so he did not open his mouth to explain, only the body whoosh of cold air.
Given the bizarre atmosphere at this table, the other guests stayed away from it.
“Carter!!!” Cliff Ford shouted sadly, swished over and gave Bowen Carter a big hug, “I haven’t seen you for so long, I’ve missed you to death, have you missed your little Cliff? If you say no, I will cry to you now!”
He escaped not long before he was caught back, and has been locked up until now, he was bored to grow mushrooms on top of his head!
“Get out of here!” Bowen Carter peeled his paws away with great disgust, a cloud over his already gloomy face.
“Wow, Carter, you’re actually wearing a purple suit today?!!! Your sister-in-law and great nephew are wearing purple too, you guys are wearing parent-child clothes!” Cliff Ford is used to being scolded, it doesn’t matter, he looked at the clothes Bowen Carter’s family was wearing, his mouth opened to swallow an egg.
It’s been a while, how did Carter become so coquettish!
No one in the trio paid any attention to him.
Bowen Carter locks up with Tess Baker, who looks lazily out the window while the little one sulks up on her phone.
The atmosphere is a little awkward, Cliff Ford sarcastic two laughs, “Oh, purple parent-child outfit is good, expensive, but also not easy to clash, this set of clothes is a good choice!”
He wanted to patronize the horse, but it ended up on the horse’s leg –
“Not easy to clash? Look over there!” Tess Baker had a cold smile on her face and raised her chin to point in the direction of Wendy Summer. If this wasn’t Linda’s engagement ceremony, she would have thrown up her sleeves and walked away, why suffer this humiliation?
Cliff Ford turned around and when he saw the woman in a purple evening gown, five, thunder, thunder, top!
Isn’t Wendy Summer dead?
How come you are standing here in good health and wearing a purple evening dress exactly like your sister-in-law’s?
The guests watched the scene and talked about it –
“Who is this guy and how does he look exactly like Mrs. Carter?”
“I heard that Mrs. Carter looks the same as Master Carter’s first love, that’s why Master Carter married her! This woman, I think, is Master Carter’s first love, right?”
“Why do I remember someone saying that Master Carter’s first love died? Is this alive again?”
“Master Carter likes this first love so much, and now that the first love is back, it’s time for Tess Baker to step aside! It was so hard to be Mrs. Carter, and now she has to step aside, Tess Baker is really pathetic!”
“There’s nothing pathetic about it, if Tess Baker didn’t look like Master Carter’s first love, Master Carter wouldn’t have married her!”
Their murmurs were not small, and Tess Baker heard them clearly, embarrassed to the core.
She was nothing more than a stand-in, and everyone knew it! She was the only one who ever foolishly thought that Bowen Carter really liked her!
“Mommy, don’t listen to their nonsense.” The little one saw her face was not looking good, stood on top of the chair and covered both ears for her.
Tess Baker took the little one’s hand away and pulled out a stiff smile, “They’re all just telling the truth, it’s nothing.”
She has not heard this kind of words, but every time she hears it, her heart is still as hard.
Who in the world wants to be a stand-in?
“Have we had enough discussion?” Bowen Carter stood up and swept his angry gaze over the crowd a little.
The crowd was stared at the scalp numb legs weak, scattered in twos and threes, and no longer dare to say a word. There are lively to see the natural good, but because of the lively offended people, it is not worth the loss!
Seeing this, Tess Baker’s eyes were full of mockery. So what if I don’t let anyone say it? It’s still the truth!
“Miss Baker,” Lucy Kid said as she walked stiffly up to Tess Baker under Bowen Carter’s morose gaze.
Tess Baker looked up at her, “Something wrong Ms. Sheng?”
She’d heard Wendy Summer’s name for so long, but this was the first time she’d ever been face-to-face with Wendy Summer.
Sure enough, just like Bowen Carter said five years ago, Wendy Summer is gentle and nothing like her!
“I want to explain for Bowen, this tuxedo is really not the one Bowen bought for me, it’s just a high replica, it can’t be compared with the tuxedo on you.” Lucy Kid explained very sincerely.
These words were taught to her by Mr. Duke, who said she would use them.
“Heh!” Tess Baker gave a dry laugh, the corners of her eyes hooked in a sneering arc, “That Miss Sheng is quite impressive, buying high imitation on all real diamonds.”
Bowen?
The name is really affectionate!
“Huh? Is this a real diamond? I don’t know!” Lucy Kid said this with a helpful gaze falling on Bowen Carter, looking overwhelmed.
Cliff Ford couldn’t take it anymore, “Carter, you’re really going too far! You want to be with Wendy Summer, then be with Wendy Summer, there is no need to give her a dress that is the same as your sister-in-law’s. You … this is not let other people look at sister-in-law joke?”
“You misunderstand Bowen, this evening dress is really not Bowen gave me, just I buy high imitation …” Lucy Kid voice weakly explained, eyes around to avoid, looks like a face of weakness.
Tess Baker didn’t want to stand around being a clown anymore, she took one look at the same high heels on Wendy Summer’s feet and pulled the little one away.
Whether it’s Wendy Summer’s evening gowns or her heels, it’s all authentic!
“Sister-in-law, wait for me, I’ll take you to Linda Mark!” Cliff Ford glanced at the expressionless Bowen Carter with a complicated gaze and turned to chase after Tess Baker.
Bowen Carter and Lucy Kid were the only ones left at the table, and the atmosphere was horribly condensed.
Lucy Kid stood across from Bowen Carter, looking at him warily, wanting to speak but not daring to.
“Where did you say the dress was high-fashion and where did you get it?” Bowen Carter’s eyes locked on her, not letting go of the slightest change in her face.
Lucy Kid struggled to maintain the calmness on her face, but her legs were already shaking, “I … bought my own high quality replica dress.”
“Tell the truth!” Bowen Carter’s voice snapped up, his eyes clouded with gloom.
“!” Lucy Kid took a frightened step back, nearly hitting the top of the table, “This is from Mr. Duke, he said he’d send me a dress and a pair of shoes for good measure.”
Fortunately, Mr. Duke anticipated such an outcome and told her how to deal with it, otherwise she would have been exposed!
Mr. Duke also said that as long as the matter of her not being Miss Sheng is not revealed, the rest does not matter.
Bowen Carter face more and more gloomy, Frank Duke actually dare to count him!
“I’m really sorry for making Miss Baker misunderstand you, Bowen, I’m sorry.” Lucy Kid lowered her eyes, collected the fear under her eyes, and looked a little soft.
Bowen Carter ignored her and stood up to leave.
“Bowen!” Lucy Kid called out to him, with a bit of expectation in her eyes, “Is it really impossible for me and you?”
“Yes!” Bowen Carter looked her in the eye and answered without hesitation.
He and her, never!
…
Tess Baker was led by Cliff Ford to the presidential suite where Linda Mark was.
“Oh my God, Tess, you look so beautiful in that dress, who has such an eye?” Linda Mark made a few private agreements with Cliff Ford, and she’s not so repulsed by the engagement!
When she heard this, Cliff Ford gave her a quick wink, “Don’t ask such a stupid question!”
“Cliff Ford, what’s wrong with you blinking all the time?” Linda Mark spat out with a frown.
