Chapter 274 – Getting Her to Have an Abortion
“She came to the hospital, only then you guys left, and she made these meals for me herself.” Bowen Carter explained in a rare good-natured manner, seeing that Tess Baker couldn’t be misunderstood.
Carter’s mother ironically wanted to say more, Carter’s father with a look to stop her, his wife continue to do so, will only push his son further and further away.
“I’ll put it here that Lucia must live in the old mansion if she’s pregnant with your child. Otherwise I won’t be able to sleep at night with some vicious woman thinking about harming my future grandchildren all day.” Carter’s mother gave Tess Baker a hard stare as she said the words ‘vicious women’.
How could Tess Baker, who is also pregnant, do something to harm Lucia, who is pregnant? She wouldn’t have believed it if Lucia hadn’t said it!
Tess Baker clenched her lips as the taste of blood raged in her mouth. She, a proper THE Carter family daughter-in-law, didn’t even live at the old mansion, and yet her mother-in-law was trying to get a pregnant Wendy Summer to the old mansion, obviously backing Wendy Summer up!
But what could she do?
Refuse? It was no use her refusing at all!
Aunt Zhang hesitantly stepped forward and whispered, “Madam, after all, Miss Sheng is only Mr. Sheng’s lover, isn’t it not a good idea to receive it over at the old mansion?”
If word of this gets out, it’s not just Tess who’s going to be humiliated, it’s the whole Carter family!
A wife is a wife and a lover is a lover. It’s okay to keep a lover outside, but how can you bring her to the old house?
“When is it your turn to interrupt when I speak? You’re all crawling on top of me now, aren’t you?” Carter’s mother was furious and red in the face, this family really had no rules at all, even a nanny dared to talk back to her!
Aunt Zhang was shouted down by these words, and she didn’t dare to speak again as she grabbed the corner of her coat with both hands.
Swords were drawn in the ward, no one spoke, but wariness surged in the silence.
“If it’s not Aunt Zhang’s turn to speak, then I’ll speak.” Bowen Carter broke the silence with a cold voice. Bowen Carter broke the silence with a cold voice and a look of determination in her eyes, “I will not allow this child to be born, even if you arrange Wendy Summer to the old house!”
Hearing this, Tess Baker looked at him in shock.
Did he just say he wouldn’t let Wendy Summer have this baby?
Wendy Summer is his favorite woman. Is he really willing to let her have an abortion?
She wasn’t the only one shocked, Carter’s mother was also stunned and stumbled over her words, “What did you … you just say?”
“I’ll arrange an abortion for Wendy Summer.” Bowen Carter said with a grimace.
Tess Baker realizes that she really doesn’t understand him more and more… he likes Wendy Summer so much, and last night he auctioned off over a billion items for Wendy Summer… why is he asking Wendy Summer to have an abortion today?
“Mike, are you crazy? I don’t agree!” Carter’s mother’s surprise was followed by exasperation, Mike would make this decision, it must be Tess Baker blowing some kind of pillow talk around her pillow. Tess Baker, the evil woman, couldn’t even tolerate a child!
Suddenly shut down by her mother-in-law’s resentful gaze, Tess Baker frowned would look away and got a hard stare.
She did nothing and said nothing, and even then, she upset her mother-in-law!
“There’s no point in you disagreeing, I’m just informing you.” Bowen Carter’s voice was as calm and natural as if he were talking about what he was going to eat today.
Now even Carter’s father couldn’t help himself, “Mike, you’re really messing around, how can a kid …”
The words were interrupted by Bowen Carter’s cold voice before he could finish, “Go back mom and dad, don’t force me to resign as head of THE Carter family, you won’t get anything out of it that way.”Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Tess Baker watched the scene with a sudden fear in her heart.
Are all people in the mansion like this, or is it just Bowen Carter? She couldn’t imagine a day when Mike or her unborn child treated her … like a stranger with that attitude!
Upon hearing this, Carter’s fatherCarter’s mother didn’t say anything more after all, but just gave Tess Baker a displeased look and exited the hospital room.
“Aunt Zhang go back too.” Bowen Carter said coolly.
When Aunt Zhang left, he and Tess Baker were the only ones left in the room.
Bowen Carter opened the mess tin, put a couple of small dishes that Tess Baker had sauteed on the table, and served two bowls of rice, “Eat.”
After saying that, he picked up his chopsticks and ate first.
Even after a fight like that with Carter’s fatherCarter’s mother, he was still elegant at dinner.
Tess Baker pursed her lips and sat down across from him, she had already eaten and now had no appetite at all.
Bowen Carter just gave her a few chopsticks of food and went on eating his own without asking her why she wasn’t eating, and the room was excessively quiet.
After a moment, he suddenly asked, “You’re upset that I’m treating Mom and Dad like this?”
“No.” Even if she had, Tess Baker wouldn’t have said so. At the height of their honeymoon, she might have talked to him about it, but the two were in such a relationship now that she had little desire to comment.
Bowen Carter said to himself, “From the time I was born, they held me to the toughest standards in order to make my grandfather like me and give me the position of head of the family.”
He paused, “I’m more of a tool to them, a tool to fight over THE Carter family only.”
What he didn’t say was that when he was a kid he lived a life that was not even comparable to that of an ordinary family, but if he didn’t live up to his mom and dad’s expectations, he would be locked up in a small dark room and not given food.
Everything he has now is the result of his hard work, and his success is not as easy as others think.
And he’s only telling Tess Baker this because he’s afraid she’ll be upset with him.
“Let’s eat.” Tess Baker pushed the dish in his direction; she wasn’t interested in his life, if ever she had been, and she had been.
Bowen Carter’s brow furrowed imperceptibly as he stood up, propping his hands on the table, and pressed closer to her, “You still mad about the bar and what happened at the auction last night?”
As long as she said yes, he would explain carefully.
That night at the hotel, he was drunk and disorderly, and he would never drink outside in the future. And except for that night, he never touched Wendy Summer.
As for what happened last night, he was just doing it to piss her off.
But–
“No offense, you like Wendy Summer, it’s only right to be nice to her.” Tess Baker tilted her head back to look at him, a light smile even tugging at her lips.
Bowen Carter’s face instantly went cold, his gaze like a knife, so what if he went through all the trouble of trying to explain that she didn’t care which woman he was with!
He lost his appetite for food and his voice was cold to the core, “Get out!”
Tess Baker stood up and walked out the door in silence. He was always so temperamental, not knowing when to get angry, and she was used to it.
The difference was that in the past, when she saw him angry, she was always very apprehensive in her heart, afraid that he wouldn’t like her. But now, she didn’t feel much when he got angry again!
The moment the door to the room closed, there was a sound of a plate breaking inside.
Tess Baker paused in her steps for a moment, then endured the pain in the soles of her feet and made her way to the elevator. Bowen Carter’s cheating partner was pregnant and her mother-in-law was mocking her explicitly, so any more she should be the one who was angry.
When she arrived at the elevator door, Lucy Kid came running over, with an aggrieved look on her face but a smug look in her eyes, “Did auntie scold you for me? I’m so sorry, I apologize for your mother!”
