Chapter 217 – Why Doesn’t This Little Aunt Know Better?
Upon hearing this, David Gate grunted and tried to say something, but was glared at by his own brother and huffed and puffed.
I really don’t know what kind of ecstasy Tess Baker fed her brother, she caused her grandfather to die, and he still defended her!
But no matter what, she’ll never forgive Tess Baker!
“Tess Baker sit down, don’t get tired of standing.” Dennis Gate spoke softly, politely but distantly.
Tess Baker said thank you senior and sat down with mixed feelings. She really didn’t know how to face Elder after those things happened!
Linda Mark pulled out a chair and sat next to Tess Baker, chanting, “I’m jealous that the senior only lets Tess sit down and not me!”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Tess Baker nudged her elbow and lowered her voice.
Fortunately Puppy White didn’t think much of it, “Haha … Then I’ll favor Mark and let you order first!”
As he spoke, he pushed the menu in front of Linda Mark’s body.
Linda Mark didn’t hesitate to order a few favorites, even the ones Tess Baker loved, and the other three ordered a token number of dishes as well.
David Gate had been staring straight at Tess Baker from the moment she walked through the door. How could this woman, who had caused the death of her grandfather, act as if nothing had happened when she saw her and her brother? I really don’t know if this woman has a conscience!
“David keeps looking at Mrs. Carter, is he not sure how to apologize to Mrs. Carter?” Seeing that David Gate had been staring at Tess Baker with an unkind look on his face, Puppy White, fearing that it would be impossible to end the scene, hurriedly gave her a step down.
Without waiting for David Gate to speak, Tess Baker said first, “Ms. Gu has a straightforward personality, it’s just a matter of having something to say, no big deal.”
She was the one who had wronged the Gate family, so how could she ask David Gate to apologize to her?
“Right.” David Gate scowled, “Not like some people who talk so well and coax men around.”
This is clearly talking about Tess Baker.
Linda Mark sat up and tried to curse, Tess Baker held her down and shook her head, she owed the Gate family so much.
Puppy White didn’t know who ‘some people’ were referring to, but had a vague sense that there were dark waves at the table.
Coincidentally, the food was served at this time, she hurriedly acted as a peacemaker and changed the topic, “Mark, the steamed lion head you ordered is ready, hurry up and try how it’s made here!”
Linda Mark pinned one, and gave one to Tess Baker, giving David Gate a big blank look in the process.
David Gate was so angry he was about to slap the table on the spot, and Dennis Gate pulled her back, frowning and whispering a warning, “David, no offense.”
“You just know how to favor this vixen, and Grandpa won’t forgive you underneath!” David Gate shouted in a small and suppressed voice, rubbing himself to his feet, “I’m full!”
After saying that, he left with his bag.
Puppy White’s face was ugly, how could this little sister-in-law be so ignorant?
If Mrs. Carter complains to Master Carter, what if Master Carter is not willing to cooperate with them anymore?
The Carter family broke with the Cole family because of a Tess Baker!
“David is young and unintelligent, I apologize to the two schoolmates on her behalf, let’s drink first!” Dennis Gate stood up, holding a glass of wine, and tilted his head back to drink.
Puppy White also snorted, “Yeah, David is young and has had a rough couple days, so I hope you two take it easy on him.”
David Gate is only a year or two younger than she is, and that’s young? She usually seems to know what she’s doing, but when it comes to Mrs. Carter, she’s always doing something stupid!
“It’s okay, I’m coming from a young person too and understand.” Tess Baker said.
So much for David Gate leaving with his bag.
The four proceeded to eat, and the atmosphere wasn’t much better, but it wasn’t bad either.
Dennis Gate acts like a stranger with Tess Baker, and it’s not clear if he’s afraid of Puppy White’s jealousy or if he resents Tess Baker for his grandfather’s death.
“Tess Baker, you’re with the seniors …” Linda Mark came up to Tess Baker, halfway through her question, unsure of what to ask.
Tess Baker gave her chopsticks of dry-fried string beans, “Later.”
Everyone was eating together at the table and Linda kept biting her ear off and it didn’t look good.
Linda Mark nodded, looked at her, and swept a couple of glances back toward Dennis Gate.
“What’s wrong with Mark?” Puppy White followed her gaze to her fiancé, always feeling like there was something he wasn’t telling her that everyone else knew about.
Linda Mark hemmed and hawed, “I’m just a face-controller, I see that my senior is good-looking and look at him twice more, don’t mind Ms. White, I’m not looking!”
“Pfft!” Puppy White let out a light laugh, “Lu Shao is also very handsome, I don’t know how many women’s hearts he broke when he got engaged to you.”
The two just complimented each other on it.
Tess Baker eats in silence as a piece of fish is suddenly added to her plate with the spines picked out of it. She looks up and runs right into Dennis Gate’s eyes.
“Eat more.” He smiled lightly at her, the bottom of his eyes as if they were full of stars, just like the one from back then, as if the unfamiliar him just now was just a dream.
Tess Baker hmmm’d and subconsciously looked in Puppy White’s direction to see the smile on the other man’s face stiffen a bit.
The fish on the plate became tricky all of a sudden.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward.
“Puppy eat more, I remember you love boiled pork slices.” Dennis Gate tenderly gave Puppy White two chopsticks of meat and another chopstick of vegetable to Linda Mark.
These chopsticks of food were timely, and the awkward atmosphere at the table was swept away.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Tess Baker laughed lightly: “The elder is gentle, golden and handsome, Miss White is beautiful, generous and talented, the two of you are a good match, I wonder when you can drink your wedding wine ah?”
“Soon.” Dennis Gate lurched in his eating, a flash of gloom in the bottom of his eyes, but quickly returned to his normal self and looked deep into Puppy White’s eyes.
A shy blush rose on Puppy White’s face, and her voice softened a few notches, “Well, my wedding to Dennis is coming up soon, and Mrs. Carter and Mark must have the honor of coming to our wedding!”
“Good.” Tess Baker poured a glass of red wine and toasted the two of them, “I’ll go ahead and wish you a happy wedding and a hundred years of happiness in advance!”
“Thanks.” Puppy White hurriedly poured a glass of red wine, clinked a glass with her, and finished it with alacrity.
She put her glass down before bumping Dennis Gate’s elbow and snapping, “Mrs. Carter toasted us, why didn’t you just drink?”
“How else are we going to get you back from drinking?” Dennis Gate froze for a moment and nodded the tip of her nose with a doting look.
Puppy White bites her lip and lowers her head in a little feminine gesture.
“I always feel that senior doesn’t really like this Miss White …” said Linda Mark in a very small and whispered voice.
Tess Baker stomped on her under the table, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
There were just the four of them at the table, and she was really afraid that Ms. White would hear what Linda had said!
