Chapter 204 Frank Duke makes her feel uneasy
“Let Snowy rest while we go out.” When the two maids had carried Snowy Cole to bed, the Cole ‘s father gave Tess Baker and Bowen Carter a grim look and went out first.
Bowen Carter glanced thoughtfully toward the bed, clasped Tess Baker’s waist and went out.
“Sit down.” The Cole ‘s father sat down wearily on the couch and gestured for them to sit as well.
The maid prepared tea and fruit platters and put them on the table.
Tess Baker can’t tell you how she feels when she thinks that Snowy Cole is still hating herself even though she’s crazy, but she has a clear conscience.
“As you can see, Snowy is now normal one minute and crazy the next, mentally out of order.” the Cole ‘s father said this in pain, at the beginning when someone asked him to give Snowy a mental test, he even scolded the person hard, but … hey!
Bowen Carter handed Tess Baker two strawberries and said indifferently, “I’m not a doctor, it’s useless for you to tell me that.”
Back when Snowy went after Tess Baker, he and Snowy didn’t have any love left!
“You …” the Cole ‘s father was red with anger and disappointment, “Snowy grew up behind you, and now she’s like this and you’re still here talking smack ?”
“If you’re sick, call a doctor, no?” Bowen Carter’s face didn’t change.
the Cole ‘s father choked on his words.
Tess Baker had seen him relentless, but every time she saw him relentless, her heart chilled a little.
Now that he cares about her and is still entangled with Wendy Summer, what will happen to her and the two kids when the day comes that he doesn’t care about her anymore?
She didn’t even dare to think about it.
“If Unle Cole has nothing else to do, we’ll take our leave.” Bowen Carter took Tess Baker’s hand and stood up.
“This woman is so good, so good that you even throw away the decades of friendship between our two families in South Zhao?” the Cole ‘s father also followed and stood up, his face was very vicissitudes, “Mike, you are the one I watched grow up, I really don’t want to make a mess of things like this!”
“It’s already become that.” No one else is anything to him but Tess Baker and the kids!
Seeing him so insensitive, the Cole ‘s father really wanted to ask the bodyguard to kick him out, but he couldn’t, “What about your grandfather’s words? You don’t listen to your grandfather either?”
“If it wasn’t for Grandpa, I wouldn’t be standing here.” There was no semblance of warmth in the bottom of Bowen Carter’s eyes as he finished, pulling Tess Baker away.
“Mike!” the Cole ‘s father rushed to him and said in an almost begging gesture, “The old men of the two families have already made a deal, as long as you help Snowy with her treatment, my father’s favor for taking the gun for the old man is written off!”
The Carter and Cole families have been going back and forth for decades despite their disparate positions, but it’s because of this favor.
After this favor is broken, the two families will no longer have a half-hearted relationship.
Tess Baker then realizes that Master Carter was so good to THE Cole family because of this favor.
She tugged down on Bowen Carter’s shirt, “You promise, I’m fine.”
After all, it was a debt of favor owed by his grandfather, and if he didn’t agree today, the old man’s side would be in a difficult position, and debts of favor were the hardest to repay.
“Three months at the most.” Before the Cole ‘s father could speak, Bowen Carter said, irrefutably, “Or I don’t come for a day.”
the Cole ‘s father could only grit his teeth and say, “Okay, three months, when I call you over, you …”
Before he could finish, Bowen Carter had pulled Tess Baker away.
The Cole ‘s father, who had never seen such an arrogant junior before, turned blue in the face and yelled at Bowen Carter’s back, “One day, you’ll pay for your arrogance!”
“I’ll wait.” Bowen Carter’s voice didn’t waver for a moment.
The two walked out of the Cole family and were greeted by Frank Duke, who was in a hurry, his mouth curved wide, but Tess Baker felt like a cold, poisonous snake, coiled around her neck, ready to kill her.
“Grandma Master Carter is looking good… if we have a daughter this time, Master Carter will have two children, right?” Frank Duke ran his eyes over her stomach and smiled imploringly.
Bowen Carter motionlessly shielded Tess Baker behind her, a warning in her eyes, “Whether I have children or not is none of your business.”
“It really doesn’t matter to me.” Frank Duke chuckled lightly, his voice sinking, “But Snowy should be concerned.”
This time Bowen Carter ignored him and walked out with his arm around Tess Baker.
“You have two children, love and career, so you’ve reached the peak of your life, right?” Having reached the peak, it’s time to descend.
Tess Baker glanced back as Frank Duke gave her a poppy smile, seductive, but tinged with danger, and she felt vaguely uneasy inside.
But why the uneasiness, she couldn’t tell herself.
Outside the Cole family, a car had already been waiting for them.
The bodyguard opened the car door and Tess Baker got in while Bowen Carter sat next to her. She still felt a little chill inside as she thought about the imploring look Frank Duke gave her stomach.
But she doesn’t remember dealing with Frank Duke, possibly, “Bowen Carter, do you have a grudge against Frank Duke?”
Frank Duke is hostile to her, that’s her instinct as a woman.
“Too many haters to remember.” Bowen Carter looked down at his phone, and on the screen was a WeChat message.
[Baby Four and a Half Years Old] Did you fix your wife? Give me a message! (angry) (angry)
His bony fingers tapped on the screen a few times.
[1] No … is a bit complicated to say.
Tess Baker doesn’t mess with him anymore, but it’s always like there’s an invisible membrane between them, and he can’t touch her heart.
The other side seems to be waiting for his message, he just replied to the past, the other side back in seconds.
[Baby 4. 5 years old] You said your wife died five years ago and you didn’t look for another woman, and you usually treat your wife very well, so how can you not be able to handle it? Are you looking for a mistress and your wife found out?
Before Bowen Carter could reply, another message came over the line.
[Baby 4. 5 years old] If you really find a mistress, I won’t let you go!
Before Bowen Carter could figure out why the other guy wouldn’t leave him alone, the message was withdrawn and the other guy sent another message.
[Baby 4. 5 years old] Sent this to my girlfriend by mistake. (Cute)
“Bowen Carter? Bowen Carter!” This is the first time Tess Baker has seen Bowen Carter so engrossed in playing with his phone that he didn’t hear her when she called out to him several times.
She swept the rest of her eyes over the screen of his cell phone and only had time to see the word baby before he put it away.
I don’t know if the baby is the other person’s screen name, or if he changed the note, and then once she thought about how focused he was just chatting, her chest got a little tight.
“What’s wrong?” Bowen Carter turned to look at her, his eyes deep.
“With all the enemies you have, could someone have gotten the idea to Mike?” Frank Duke’s presence made her feel uneasy.
“It’s okay.” Bowen Carter suddenly reached out.
Tess Baker subconsciously leaned back.
He held the back of her head and tucked the few strands of loose hair that had fallen from her ears behind her head, “He has bodyguards with him.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“Why don’t I see a bodyguard?” Tess Baker sat up straight in some embarrassment, she had just almost thought he was going to kiss her.
