Chapter 208 My Fiancé, Dennis Gate
“Mrs. Carter, would it be convenient to sit next to you?”
Tess Baker was fascinated by the two of them when a sweet female voice rang in her ears. She looked up and saw a sweet, playful-looking woman she didn’t know, and beside the woman stood Dennis Gate.
She wasn’t sure what this was about and froze for a moment.
The woman took it upon herself to introduce herself, “I’m Puppy White, and next to me is my fiancé, Dennis Gate, and it may be abrupt to say I’m sitting next to you, but Master Carter should know me.”
She doesn’t greet Master Carter first, mainly because she’s afraid Mrs. Carter will get the wrong idea.
Tess Baker subconsciously looked at Dennis Gate and thought of him setting her up, her mood was a bit complicated for a moment, “Miss White and the senior are sitting down.”
Bowen Carter looked up at Dennis Gate and the two looked at each other, saying nothing, but the atmosphere was a bit saber-rattling. After a few seconds, Dennis Gate gave a light smile, averted his gaze first, and sat down.
“Seniors?” Puppy White was a little surprised, “So Mrs. Carter knows Dennis, and he didn’t tell me when we came over.”
Finished, glared at Dennis Gate.
Dennis Gate smiled and rubbed her hair with a pampered look, “Tess Baker is so pretty, you’re not jealous if I have to say I know her?”
“Mrs. Carter already has Master Carter, and you don’t have a chance, so why should I be jealous.” Puppy White beamed and complained casually.
Other than her, the other three people at the table had a momentary stiffness on their faces.
“What did I say wrong?” Puppy White felt the atmosphere was a little delicate.
Tess Baker laughed, “Bowen Carter and I are judges after all, and I’m afraid that exchanging words like this in private will make other moms and dads uneasy about the competition results.”
“Look at me, I’m forgetting this is a parent-teacher conference, I’ll keep it short, I won’t keep you and Master Carter much longer.” Puppy White didn’t think much of it and pointed down to where the fat woman was, “I came over today for Sister Lin.”
Tess Baker raised her eyebrows slightly, Puppy White was standing up for fat women? It didn’t quite look like it.
“Sister Lin accidentally bumped into you and Master Carter, her heart has been very guilty, and entrusted me to apologize to you two again, I hope you are generous enough to forget this unpleasantness.” Puppy White’s eyes flicked over Tess Baker’s blazer, envious, Master Carter spoils his wife!
Tess Baker then understood the other party’s intention, “I can ignore this time, and I also hope that Miss White to tell that lady, in the future to speak and do things, have to forgive people and forgive people.”
The fat woman had already apologized and made amends, she would not count on it.
“I thank you in advance for Lin, and I will pass on your words to her. I won’t keep you from the parent-teacher conference, and I’ll invite you and Master Carter to dinner next time I have the chance.” Puppy White stood up and tried to say goodbye to Bowen Carter, but he didn’t even look at her and had to give up.
Dennis Gate glanced at Tess Baker, smiled, stood up, and left with Puppy White interlocked fingers.
The two of them are talking and laughing, handsome man and woman are beyond eye catching, and the relationship looks good, but Tess Baker always feels that something is not right.
The seniors were very nice to that Miss White, but she felt something was missing.
But it was none of her business what happened to them, maybe she and the senior would become ordinary friends or, well, passers-by later.
“Having a hard time knowing Dennis Gate is engaged to someone?” Bowen Carter’s tone sneered as Dennis Gate’s back was out of sight and she was still watching!
Tess Baker retracted her gaze and looked light, “It’s just that I was a little surprised by the senior’s sudden engagement.”
She didn’t know why the senior had set her up, but the senior had helped her so many times that they were kind of a write-off.
And the seniors are kind of getting a taste of their own medicine since they don’t have a grandfather because of this picture.
Bowen Carter’s handsome face tightened, Dennis Gate had set her up, and she hadn’t even bothered, that was generous!
“I’m going to the restroom.” The clothes were wet earlier, and her stomach was a little chilled.
Bowen Carter coldly shoved a few baby warmers at her, “Assistant had to give them to me.”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Thanks.” Tess Baker got in his face and stuck those warmers on her body.
Bowen Carter ignored her and waited for her to leave before looking at her back and frowning. Just a few pieces of the stuff, really keep you warm? Should have grabbed all three bags that ASSISTANT bought!
Tess Baker arrived at the restroom and saw Dennis Gate standing in the doorway, smoking a cigarette.
“Senpai.” She tugged her lips, said hello and headed inside the toilet.
Maybe because of all the things Bowen Carter had done to the Gate family, or maybe because of all the bed pictures of ‘her’ with the seniors, she didn’t even know what to say when they met.
Dennis Gate tugged on her wrist, his handsome face behind the smoke a little disembodied, “Tess Baker, are you doing well now?”
“Okay.” Tess Baker struggled a few times and didn’t break away, “Please let go of me senior, or Ms. White will see it and get the wrong idea.”
She is a woman herself and knows that women mind their significant other having flirtatious moves with other people of the opposite sex.
“I’ll let go and you stay put, is that okay?” Seeing her nod, Dennis Gate let go.
Tess Baker moved back a few steps so that even if Miss White came out and saw them, there would be no misunderstanding.
Silence.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Dennis Gate smiled a pale smile, “Tess Baker, when did we become like this?”
In the past, we could at least be friends, but now we are not even strangers.
“Isn’t it good that the seniors have become more handsome?” Tess Baker deliberately misinterpreted his meaning.
Instead of continuing the conversation that had embarrassed the two, Dennis Gate asked, “Tess Baker, are you really doing well now?”
Without waiting for Tess Baker to answer, he continued, “I thought you were having a bad time and did something really stupid: I had someone play you and take some bed photos with me and send them to Bowen Carter, trying to get him to dislike you so you could get rid of him.”
Tess Baker’s pupils crinkled; the senior had sent those bed pictures to Bowen Carter, and the starting point had actually been for her!
Dennis Gate let out a bitter laugh, “But I was wrong, I didn’t help you, and I caused my grandfather …”
When he got to the end, he got a little choked up and couldn’t say it any more.
Grandpa raised him as a child, and he cost him his life.
“Senior, I’m …” The warmer started to work, the clothes were hot, but Tess Baker’s heart was cold.
Senpai has gotten THE Gate family into trouble twice because of her, without her grandfather, and she’s actually blaming Senpai!
Puppy White, just out of the bathroom, interrupted with a smile, “Mrs. Carter, hello again!”
“Hmm.” Tess Baker’s throat was scratchy and she didn’t say much for fear she’d notice something unusual.
Dennis Gate snuffed out his cigarette, threw it in the trash, and offered to take Puppy White’s hand, “We have some shopping to do, so we’ll go first.”
“Good.” Tess Baker tried to laugh, but couldn’t get it out.
Puppy White said with bent eyes, “Bye Mrs. Carter, next time we’ll hang out.”
Tess Baker nodded and went into the restroom, tears pouring out furiously. She owed her senior, and I’m afraid she’ll never be able to pay him back in this lifetime!
“Tess Baker?” Bowen Carter called out to her from outside the bathroom; he was afraid something was wrong when she hadn’t been back for so long.
