“I said my name is not Cable!” The little one’s gentlemanly upbringing is all gone here, “Even if I have a bad stepfather, I’m still going with Mommy!”
“Mike be good, stop it, I’m not divorcing your daddy, we’re all in this together.” Tess Baker thinks more than the little guy, and if she divorces Bowen Carter, she certainly won’t be able to grab custody of him.
The only way she can stay with her son is if she doesn’t get a divorce!
The little one grunted and wrapped her arms around her neck, bringing her capriciousness to the forefront, “I don’t care, I don’t like it here anyway, I don’t want to be here!”
“If you don’t like it, you’re not here, and you’re coming with me after dinner.” Bowen Carter said directly without looking at his mother’s ugly face.
The little one hesitated, but nodded.
He doesn’t like scum daddy, but he doesn’t like this grandma even more! He doesn’t like anyone who says anything bad about his mommy!
Seeing this, Carter’s mother refused, “No, Cable must stay in the old house! Tess Baker hid Cable for five years, what if she runs away with Cable again?”
Only when Cable stays in the old house, she can feel relieved!
“My son, I’ll let him be wherever I want him to be.” Bowen Carter didn’t change her mind at her words.
The little guy slanted him a look, barely satisfied with his performance.
Carter’s mother wanted to say more, but was preempted by Carter senior, “It’s almost dinner, what’s all the noise?”
As he said this, he glared at Carter’s mother a few times, with great partiality.
Carter’s mother kept her head down and didn’t dare to say anything. Her father-in-law was old, but the whole Carter family still listened to his orders. If she displeased her father-in-law and he crossed her name off the estate, it would be more than worth it!
“Hello, Grandpa.” Tess Baker’s first impression of the old man was good, and this moment he greeted him respectfully.
Carter’s mother swept her with her afterglow and disliked her even more. Just now she was so arrogant, and now she’s being a good girl, so hypocritical!
The little one also greeted in a milky voice, “Hello, Grandpa Tai.”
“Cable just knows what he’s doing, come over here and let Grandpa take a good look!” The old man was so envious of other people’s great-grandchildren that he was getting red-eye, and now he finally has one!
The little guy da-da-da walked up to him with his short legs and carefully held him up, “Grandpa Tai, I have a name, can you call me Mike?”
He likes the name his mommy gave him.
“Then let’s do this, from now on, when it’s just the two of us, I’ll call you Mike; when there are other people, I’ll call you Cable, how about that?” The old man was so happy these two days that his face was sour from smiling.
The little guy didn’t get an inch and nodded obediently. Inside this mansion, the only one he likes is the great grandfather.
“That’s good.” The old man complimented the little one and instructed the old butler, ” , I haven’t seen those old things for a while, you make an appointment for me.”
The old butler nodded and went on his errand.
Bowen Carter gave his grandfather an oblique look, “Showing off so obviously, aren’t you afraid of a beating?”
“Not afraid! Jealous of them to death!” The old man tilted his chin slightly, very dejected.
Seeing this, Tess Baker was both relieved and worried.
The relief is that the Carter family loves Mike and Mike will not be angry with them. The worry is that they are so attached to Mike that it will be harder for her to take him away if she wants to!
…
The old man had a dinner date with a group of old friends to show off his grandson. At lunch, the only people at the table were Tess Baker, Bowen Carter and Carter’s mother.
Carter’s mother looked at Tess Baker, and the more she looked at her, the less she saw, and twisted her head to ask Bowen Carter, “I heard someone say the other day that Wendy Summer is back?”
If she’s uncomfortable in her mind, Tess Baker isn’t either!
It would be great to piss off Tess Baker with Wendy Summer!
Tess Baker’s eyes crossed with a touch of mockery, silently eating. Now it’s Bowen Carter who won’t let her go, not her who is pestering him. My mother-in-law doesn’t even see the situation clearly, so she’s trying to sow discord.
“Hmm.” Bowen Carter didn’t even raise his head, took his communal chopsticks and gave Tess Baker two chopsticks of vegetables and coldly admonished, “Eat more vegetables.”
She hadn’t eaten for two days, and it’s not good for her health to eat greasy food all at once.
“You married Tess Baker because of Wendy Summer, and now that Wendy Summer is back, do you want to think about it again?” Carter’s mother looked at those dishes in Tess Baker’s bowl and her face didn’t look good.
Knowing her son is like a mother, her son has always been a cold-hearted one, not interested in anyone. But now, he’s obviously taken to Tess Baker, the little vixen!
Tess Baker held her chopsticks a little harder, picked up a bite of the dish and put it in her mouth, not knowing what to expect.
“No.” Bowen Carter replied decisively, knowing exactly what he wanted.
Carter’s mother was still reluctant to give up, “Mike, you still have to seriously consider this. tess Baker looks exactly like Wendy Summer, how can you be sure who you like?”
Bowen Carter put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a paper towel, his brow furrowed invisibly.
Carter’s mother continued, “I’ve met Wendy Summer, a beautiful child with a good heart. Her family back is not good, but she dresses well and generously, and she is very reliable, much better than some people. So ah, you still have to seriously consider it!”
‘Some people’ is clearly referring to Tess Baker.
“You like it so much, you can marry yourself.” Bowen Carter stood up coldly and pulled Tess Baker to her feet, “Let’s eat somewhere else.”
“Good.” Tess Baker looked at the grimacing Carter’s mother, spread a smile, and reached toward Bowen Carter, “Hug me.”
Her mother-in-law had tripped her up so much, she had to return the favor.
Bowen Carter’s eyes lit up for a moment, then quickly returned to their darkness as he bent down and effortlessly took her in his arms.
“No, know, shame, shame!” Carter’s mother snapped her chopsticks onto the table and squeezed a few words out of her teeth.
In front of the elders, she dared to be such a demon, she had never seen such a brazen person!
Tess Baker smiled more brightly, “Thanks for the compliment.”
She loves it when people hate her and can’t get rid of her!
The mother-in-law grabbed her son, she was angry at her mother-in-law, and it was not too much to ask.
Bowen Carter looked down at her sly look, the bottom of his eyes were full of tenderness and doting.
Carter’s mother watched them walk out, her lungs exploding with anger, but she couldn’t get a word in edgewise. tess Baker was so smooth-talking, she couldn’t talk her out of it!
“Ma’am, Miss Cole is here.” Bowen Carter and Tess Baker had just left when a maid came in to deliver the message.
Carter’s mother has had a bad impression of Snowy Cole ever since she found out she hired someone to kidnap her and had the kidnapper make that video.
But given the precarious relationship between Carter and Cole, Carter’s mother frowned and said, “Let her in.”
“Okay.” The maid nodded, trotted out, and soon returned with Snowy Cole.
Snowy Cole wore haute couture and delicate makeup, but looked much less than before, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen my aunt, and she’s looking beautiful again.”
“It’s okay to compliment you young people with such words, but I can’t afford it, I’m getting old.” Carter’s mother has a smile on her face, but there are no few smiles under her eyes.
Snowy keeps saying how she likes Mike, but then she turns around and marries an illegitimate son, which is not in the face of their the Carter family?
