“Well, there’s nothing to buy, so I’ll be back first.” Tess Baker struggled to pull the corners of her mouth into a smile that was harder than crying.
Aunt Zhang looked at her, “Ma’am, are you not feeling well? Do you want the doctor to come here?”
Mrs. is very pale!
“No.” Tess Baker lowered her eyes and asked, as if unconcerned, “Aunt Zhang, how many years have you been with Bowen Carter?”
“Let’s see, Mr. fourteen years old, I came over … almost fifteen years, time has passed really fast, in the blink of an eye!” Aunt Zhang lamented.
“Well, time goes by pretty fast.” Once she tangled with Bowen Carter, it was eight years, “Aunt Zhang, have you ever met Wendy Summer before?”
Aunt Zhang flinched and said cautiously, “I’ve met a few times.”
In fact, not only a few times, Mr. liked the girl named Wendy Summer in junior high school and often invited her to play at home.
“And how much do you think that Bowen Carter likes her?” Tess Baker’s voice was soft, with a hint of bitterness and envy mixed in.
Aunt Zhang’s eyes a little averted, did not directly answer the question, “Even if you like again, that is also the past. Now what Mr. likes is you.”
Mr. used to like the girl named Wendy Summer, but since five years ago, Mr. is always looking at the pictures of his wife.
She didn’t know what Mr. really thought, but she felt that he liked Mrs.
Tess Baker smiled bitterly.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhang said comfortingly, “If I didn’t like you, why would Mr. marry you? Ma’am, don’t think too much, just live a good life.”
“Well, I know, thanks Aunt Zhang,” Tess Baker said without further question and went upstairs.
Aunt Zhang didn’t answer her question directly, but she knew that Bowen Carter liked Wendy Summer a lot.
If he hadn’t liked it so much, he wouldn’t have been looking at Wendy Summer’s pictures from time to time during the three years he was married to her, let alone shouting Wendy Summer’s name when he made love to her!
Tess Baker sat up in bed, sliding her fingertips gently across her stomach, hesitating before picking up her cell phone and dialing Bowen Carter.
Just called, and the other side got through, but he didn’t speak.
“Bowen Carter, I remember you telling me two months ago that Wendy Summer wasn’t the president’s secretary anymore, right?” Tess Baker clutched her phone, her whole body cells tensed together.
Bowen Carter hmmed, his cool, nice voice coming along the microphone, “What’s the point of asking that?”
“Nothing.” Tess Baker’s gut felt like it was being twisted together, “I saw Wendy Summer while shopping today and casually asked.”
She hung up the phone and called an acquaintance in the HR department of The Carter Group, “It’s almost New Year’s Eve, I want to prepare a gift for Bowen Carter’s secretaryassistant, it needs to be signed, can you help me with that list?”
“This kind of handy little thing, of course we have to agree! Boss Baker, no, should say the president’s wife, you can not forget to help me in front of the president to say a few good words ah!”
“No problem.”
The place was efficient, but five minutes later, an email was sent.
Tess Baker looked at the attachment that came with the email and dwelled on it for a moment before clicking on it.
Attached is an excel spreadsheet, divided into two columns, name and position. In the second row of the table, is the name of Wendy Summer, followed by the position – Secretary to the President.
“Bowen Carter, you lied to me again …” She threw the phone onto the bed and covered her cheeks with trembling hands, fluid dripping from her fingers.
So, he chose to stay with her because he cared about Mike’s feelings?
Heh, she always thought he was controlling and didn’t want her to leave, but it turns out he was just being paranoid!
Duh–
Duh–
Tess Baker picked up the phone and maintained a calm voice, “I’ve received the list, thank you so much.”
“We are also considered partners before, you are so polite to say so! Boss Baker, I am calling to talk to you about Wendy Summer, she seems to just hang a name, not doing real work, to send a gift, you look at it again.”
“Well, thank you for the reminder, by the way, I wish you an early New Year, Happy New Year, and a high promotion in the coming year!”
The two made small talk for a while before they left the phone.
Tess Baker licked her dry lips and accidentally licked the tears, some salty and bitter. It turns out that Wendy Summer does not do real work in the group, hanging a name of the president’s secretary, but only to facilitate contact with Bowen Carter.
The truth is really hard to accept!
…
Evening.
As soon as Aunt Zhang saw Bowen Carter coming back, she greeted him happily, “Madam has cooked for you today, you should eat more tonight.”
“Hmm.” Bowen Carter’s eyes lit up for a moment, the corners of his mouth curving if anything. He hadn’t eaten her cooking in a long time.
He put down his suit jacket and went into the restaurant after washing his hands.
“Sit down and eat, it’s all your favorite dishes.” Tess Baker spent the afternoon cooking a table full of food just to get together with Bowen Carter for good.
He’s in love with Wendy Summer and she won’t stand in the way of their relationship!
Bowen Carter pulled out a chair and sat beside her, “It looks great.”
“Thanks for the compliment.” Tess Baker’s eyebrows were indifferent, but she gave him a few chopsticks of food in a rare way.
And it was because of her action of pinching the food that Bowen Carter didn’t notice her abnormality and ate an extra bowl of rice in a good mood, thinking that the meal was the best he had ever eaten in his twenty-eight years!
When he put the dishes down, Tess Baker, who hadn’t eaten more than a few bites, also put her chopsticks down, “Let’s get a divorce, Mike’s custody can go to the Carter family, but you can’t stop me from seeing him.”
If she continues to live with him like this, they will both suffer and the child may not be happy.
And since he was able to give up his lover and barely live with her in order to take care of the child’s feelings, she thought she could try to give him custody.
“Just because I taught Dennis Gate a lesson?” Bowen Carter’s springtime complacency instantly changed to a dark cloud, his fists clenched tightly.
Tess Baker froze, her face then turned ugly, “What did you do to the senior again? I told you that the two of us are not having an affair!”
She was afraid of giving the senior misty hope and never took the initiative to contact him, but she didn’t expect Bowen Carter to come out to him!
“If it wasn’t for the affair, you would have divorced me because of him?!” Having thoughts about his woman, it’s merciful enough that he didn’t bankrupt The Gate Group!
“Bowen Carter!” Tess Baker stood up with a grimace, “Don’t make everything about the seniors! You and Wendy Summer love each other, I won’t be your third party and make it happen!”
Even if the only man left in the world is Bowen Carter, she will not go to be a third party!
Bowen Carter had a black face and wanted to crush this woman, “I fucking love you, you hear me?”
Is it so hard to understand human language?
He had said so many times that Mrs. Carter would only be her, and she had heard it all!
