Tess Baker felt a chill in her heart when she thought that her two children would grow up to be as cold-blooded, ruthless, domineering and authoritarian as Bowen Carter.
The maid knocked on the door and came in, “Young granny, this is the bird’s nest that the old master ordered to be cooked for you to replenish your body. The old master also said that tonight on New Year’s Eve, Young Master Cable will accompany him to observe the New Year’s Eve, so you don’t have to wait.”
After saying that, she put down the bird’s nest and then respectfully exited.
Tess Baker glanced at the bird’s nest without any appetite, but for fear that the maid would tell the old man that she hadn’t drunk it and affect his impression of her, she forced herself to drink the bowl of bird’s nest.
Duh–
Duh–
Tess Baker took out her cell phone and found that it was a call from her senior.
“Senior, this is Tess Baker, I have Linda’s cell phone, if you’re looking for her, I’ll send you Aunt and Uncle’s numbers.” She got on the phone and said a long string of words.
“No, I’m looking for you.” Dennis Gate’s voice was a little tired, “Is it convenient to video?”
Tess Baker scanned the room, sized up the clothes, made sure nothing was out of place, and then hmmed. Sitting alone on New Year’s Eve, thinking about messy and annoying things, only made it more annoying.
Most importantly, she wanted to solemnly apologize to the seniors.
She knew apologizing wouldn’t do any good, but she owed her senior an apology.
Dennis Gate hung up and called by video call instead. The moment she picked up the phone, he stared at her for half a day without speaking.
“I have something on my face?” Tess Baker walked over to the mirror and took a look, realizing that there was nothing dirty on her face.
Dennis Gate shook his head, his eyes full of doting, “No, it’s just that you’re so beautiful, more beautiful than usual.”
Tess Baker doesn’t resent him, but is wary of him saying something that reveals affection, which can overwhelm her.
“I didn’t mean anything else, I just wanted to compliment you.” Dennis Gate asked as if he didn’t care, “How are you doing now? Has Master Carter … given you a hard time?”
“I’m okay. Senior doesn’t look too good, is the work in N City too heavy?” Senior a graduate student graduated from a world-famous university, but was dragged by her to go to a place like N City where even ordinary university graduates are not willing to go to work …
Dennis Gate paused before saying, “The work is pretty easy, but it’s a little watered down.”
He was worried about her and hadn’t been sleeping well, but he couldn’t talk to her about this.
“Remember to take care of yourself …,” Tess Baker said before the phone was snatched away from her.
Bowen Carter, his handsome face a stormy mess, hung up the phone straight away and threw it against the wall with a snap.
The phone screen spread out three slits, and when it fell to the ground, it was already black.
“Bowen Carter, what are you doing?” Tess Baker growled and crouched to the floor to fiddle with her cell phone, but no matter what she pressed, the screen was black.
Bowen Carter put his hands on her waist and threw her onto the bed, pressing up with her. He lifted her hands above her head and ripped the hundreds of thousands of dollars of gowns with a tear.
Even if her heart is with someone else, her body can only be his!
Tess Baker cooled down in front of her body, revealing a large expanse of white skin.
“What are you mad about?” Shame and anger swelled and grew in her heart, almost condensing into substance and rushing out from her body!
Bowen Carter roughly yanked the gown off her and threw it to the floor, sneering, “Isn’t it lonesome not to see your lover on New Year’s?”
He felt like he was going to be driven crazy thinking about the gentleness and smiles she had on the phone with Dennis Gate!
“Bowen Carter!” said Tess Baker kicking him hard, her face full of anger, “Don’t you touch me!”
She’s pregnant and she’s too dirty for him to ever sleep with him!
“What’s the point of pretending to be innocent when you’ve been with so many men?!”
She was his, and she could only be his!
Ouch!
The words stung Tess Baker’s heart so badly that she violently pushed him away and slapped him across the face, “I don’t want you to touch it, is that okay?”
The tip of her nose was a little sore, and something seemed to be coming out from under her eyes, and she tried to keep her eyes open to keep the liquid in them from escaping.
The moment he saw the tears in her eyes, Bowen Carter’s chest caved in and his heart ached.
He clenched his fists and turned to leave the room.
The moment the door closed, tears flowed from Tess Baker’s eyes and fell onto the bed, quickly wetting a large area.
She stared blankly at the shattered gown on the floor, her hands clasped around her knees, shrinking into a tiny ball, the only way to make her feel somewhat secure.
The sound of firecrackers continues, and the fireworks are even more intense and stunningly beautiful than just now. But such hilarity has nothing to do with Tess Baker, who is left to hunker down in bed alone, unable to even see her own son.
…
the Gate family.
About an hour after Dennis Gate hung up the phone, he was called into the lobby of the Gate family’s old house.
More than a dozen elders had already been seated in the hall, and more than twenty of Dennis Gate’s peers stood behind the elders, while Grandma Gu sat at the top with a hard look on her face.
Unlike the bustle elsewhere, the hall was solemn.
Seeing him enter, all eyes fell on him, with disappointment and disbelief as well as anger and resentment.
Gu’s father stood up and pointed at him, yelling, “Kneel down!”
His son has been a credit to him since he was a child and has recently disgraced him and now THE Gate family is on the verge of losing it!
“Dad, what’s going on?” Dennis Gate felt that the atmosphere was not quite right; New Year’s Eve used to be very lively.
A man whispered to remind him, “Don’t ask too many questions, cousin, get on your knees.”
Dennis Gate scanned the room, taking in the elders’ expressions of hatred and anger, and dropped to his knees. The elders rarely looked at him like that, and this time it should have something to do with Master Carter.
“Let me ask you,” Grandma Gu took a deep breath before asking with difficulty, “Have you broken off your relationship with the Carter family’s young grandmother?”
The crowd stared intently at Dennis Gate, waiting for him to answer and hoping he’d break.
“… I’m sorry, Grandma.” Dennis Gate knew it wouldn’t do him any good to say that, but he had to.
Grandma Gu stood up and pointed at him, her eyes were full of incredulity and a hint of expectation, “I ask you again, you … are you having an improper relationship with the Carter family young grandmother?”
At the end of the sentence, his voice was trembling. This grandson of hers does not seem to be a carry-over, how could he get involved with the Carter family young grandmother like this?
Gu’s father reminded anxiously, “Think about it before you say anything!”
Not to mention their family such a prestigious family, even if it is an ordinary family, can not afford to lose this person!
And it’s the Carter family. If they offend the Carter family, will they survive?
“Yes.” Dennis Gate didn’t hesitate for a second. Every word he said would reach Master Carter’s ears, and he couldn’t let Master Carter know that those pictures were fake.
