Chapter 264 One knee on the ground
“Uh-huh. But how did you know all this while you were abroad?” When you don’t want to talk about one topic, the best way is to naturally start another.
So Linda Mark began to brag about how wide her circle of contacts was, and talked about how difficult it was to eat meals abroad and how common handsome men were, and then … then there was no more then.
When she hung up the phone, Linda Mark sent a text message as an afterthought –
[You change the subject!!! (Rage)]
You should have asked me how I turned the tables on Wendy Summer. (Tess Baker
…
Bowen Carter sat downstairs until one in the morning before tightening her lips and heading upstairs with the room key she’d gotten from Aunt Zhang and the ointment she’d had the maid specialize in.
Halfway up the stairs, he looked down at the leather shoes on his feet, took them off, put on his socks, and went up the stairs silently.
He walked up to Tess Baker’s door, took out his key, and was about to insert it when he suddenly heard the sound of slippers colliding with the floor.
It’s so late and she’s still up?
Bowen Carter immediately retrieved his keys, frowning and gripping them as the metal keys clashed and jingled.
I don’t think Tess Baker heard that, did she?
Inside came the sound of a toilet flushing, then the sound of slippers clashing with the floor, and after a few moments, silence returned.
Bowen Carter stood still and didn’t dare move with his keys in one hand and his ointment in the other.
He stood for about an hour before he inserted the key and turned it with a small click before it stopped.
After about three minutes had passed, and he was sure that no one inside had heard him, he pushed the door open, stepped in gingerly, and closed it.
The room was dark and Bowen Carter had just come in and could only see a human form on the bed. Only after adjusting to the darkness did he stride over to the bed and survey the person on it.
The child is seven months old, but she has lost a lot of weight, her face is small, and she doesn’t look very good.
I don’t know if she went to sleep thinking about unhappy things or dreaming about unhappy scenes, but her pretty eyebrows were knitted together and her lips were tightly pursed with suppressed anger.
Bowen Carter’s eyes were filled with tenderness and heartache and guilt, and he reached out with bony fingers to smooth her brow, but finally withdrew.
He put the keys on the bed and sat on the edge of the bed quietly looking at her sleeping face, his chest cavity was a soft mess.
I don’t know how long he sat by the bed before he got up and carefully lifted her covers. The wound on her foot was clean, it should have been treated, just apply the ointment directly.
Bowen Carter unscrewed the ointment and got down on one knee, moving a little closer to her wound.
“What are you doing here?” Suddenly, Tess Baker’s voice rang out in the darkness.
The atmosphere in the room instantly changed from cozy and tender to saber-rattling.
Bowen Carter stood up and looked at her condescendingly, her eyes were cool, but there was only disgust in them, “Since when do I have to greet you when I come to my place?”
He regretted just saying it, he didn’t intend to say it, but she woke up so suddenly that somehow he got the word out.
Tess Baker sat up with her hands propped on the bed, clenching her fists tightly, bored inside, but with nothing to say.
He was right, Beauty Garden was indeed his, and he didn’t have to say hello to her when he came to his place!
“Rub it on.” Bowen Carter tossed the ointment onto the covers, “I don’t want to hear people say I abused you.”
“It’s late, isn’t it? Everyone already knew how abusive you were to me as the first wife when you tripped me up with all that at the charity dinner.” Tess Baker casually tossed the ointment to the floor; she didn’t want to use his stuff!
Bowen Carter frowned at the ointment on the floor and his voice went cold, “Why did you throw it on the floor?”
“Of course I’m afraid to use what you sent me.” Tess Baker ruffled her hair behind her ear and smiled mockingly, “Who knows if the salve has any bad drugs in it?”
Bowen Carter wouldn’t do such a despicable thing, but she just wanted to disgust him!
Bowen Carter’s forehead popped up and he gritted his teeth, “I wouldn’t use such underhanded tactics!”
“Making me ride in a car that costs over $100, 000, not giving me invitations, and not telling me to prepare items for donation … are not considered underhanded tactics? Bowen Carter, we may not have the same understanding of underhanded!” Tess Baker thought she was tolerant enough, but he always pushed her boundaries!
Even if they had two children, she really didn’t know how much longer she could put up with this!
Bowen Carter suppressed his anger, bent down to pick up the ointment and put it in her hand, “I’ve done what I should have done, it’s your business if you use it or not, don’t come to grandpa and talk nonsense!”
When he finished, he turned to go out and closed the door with a bang.
Tess Baker looked at the ointment in her hand in a daze and sneered at the corners of her eyes, so she gave her the ointment just because she was afraid she would tell on her grandfather?
She grabbed the ointment and raised her hand to throw it.
The ointment made a graceful arc through the air and ended up in the trash can.
Use his stuff, she’s too dirty!

When I woke up the next day, it was eleven in the morning.
Tess Baker got out of bed to put on her slippers and felt pain in the soles of her feet when she suddenly remembered that both of her feet were rotting.
She gritted her teeth and stood up, washed up, then changed her clothes and walked out of the room. I didn’t eat last night, and now I’m starving.
Preparing to go downstairs, she just saw that Carter senior and Mike were also here, and Bowen Carter was sitting across from them, and the atmosphere was bad.
Tess Baker frowned, the old man was coming on to her, she’d better go to her room.
“Everyone is waiting for you, come down!” Elder Carter roared in a domineering manner.
Hearing this, a flash of helplessness crossed Tess Baker’s face, and she could only turn around, holding onto the stairs, and walk down the stairs with a slow gait.
“Mommy, let me hold you up.” The little one ran up da-da-da-da and held her carefully, “Mommy, does your leg hurt?”
Tess Baker, “Legs are fine, just wore down my new heels last night and rubbed my feet, no big deal.”
The little one tightly mined his lips, mommy cheated, if it was no big deal, how come she was in so much pain that sweat came out of her head?
The large and small group came downstairs and Tess Baker greeted them respectfully first, “Good morning Grandpa!”
“It’s almost twelve o’clock, and it’s still good morning?!” The old man blew his beard and eyes out, “Take off your shoes, let me see!”
“New Heels Wear Out Your Feet While …”
The old man interrupted her directly, “I told you to take it off!”
Without waiting for Tess Baker to make a move, the little one crouched down and gently removed both of her shoes, revealing the bloody soles of her feet.
Seeing this, the little one’s eyes instantly reddened and tears barred to the bottom.
Bowen Carter’s face didn’t look good either, even if she was angry with him, she didn’t have to be upset with herself, why didn’t she use the ointment he gave her? Was she really afraid he’d put something in it?
“Man up, why are you crying?” Tess Baker pulled out a tissue and heartily wiped away her son’s tears.
