Chapter 276 – No More Compulsion
“There’s no need to find anyone else, you go and rest.” Bowen Carter said in a cold voice.
Aunt Zhang answered and opened the door to go out.
Bowen Carter strained a handsome face and handed the ointment to Tess Baker, “You put it on for me.”
Applying the ointment was decent, but his throat was dry.
Tess Baker took the ointment and didn’t insist on getting help, she didn’t want to spend half the night over something as trivial as applying the ointment.
She took the ointment, “Get down.”
He’s about 185 tall, and she’s a little more than a head behind him in her slippers, and it’s not easy to stand and apply the ointment.
Bowen Carter plopped down on the bed with an expressionless face, self-conscious and ready to apply the ointment without her having to say a word.
Tess Baker was caught off guard, but the blood still rushed madly to her cheeks and her whole face was hot.
Unexpectedly at that moment, Bowen Carter suddenly sidestepped with one hand propped up on his chin.
The sight was so impactful that Tess Baker’s pupils crinkled and her mind went so blank that she stumbled over her words, “You … you turn around.”
“You move faster.” Bowen Carter stared at her bursting red face for a moment before he moved slowly and turned around, leaving her with his grimy backside.
For the first time, Tess Baker felt unproductive, her arms and legs were limp, and her hand was shaking as she held the ointment. Taking a deep breath, she squeezed some of the ointment onto his back and reached down to smooth it out.
Tess Baker’s hand shook and she nearly dropped the ointment on the bed, she took a deep breath and simply squeezed half of the ointment onto his back and then went to work with both hands to apply the ointment, hoping to hurry up and get it over with.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
But only a third of the way through the application, Bowen Carter suddenly pulled her back.
Tess Baker pushed him away, “I’ll put the ointment on you.”
“The wound is fine.” Bowen Carter said in a muffled voice, hugging her from behind.
“Tess Baker …” Bowen Carter couldn’t help but shout her name.
“Bowen Carter!”
Taking advantage of his distraction, he stood barefoot on the ground, watching him warily.
“Come here!”
“Wendy Summer isn’t available, you can find someone else. If you don’t want to go out and find them, you can call them to Beauty Garden,” Tess Baker said, barely keeping standing.
The temperature in the room instantly dropped a few degrees.
Bowen Carter’s neck was bruised and he squeezed a few words out of his teeth, “You told me to find another woman?”
He doesn’t know how to explain it to her after he misses her distress call and can’t sleep for several nights in a row while she says for him to find another woman!
Heh, that’s really good!
“You heard right.” Tess Baker mentally sneered, who was Bowen Carter doing this hurt look for, it wasn’t like he hadn’t done it before!
Bowen Carter’s hawk-like eyes were fixed on her, and the thoughts that had arisen over her dissipated into thin air. He put on his pajamas, tensed his handsome face, and walked expressionlessly to the door.
When he reached the door, he stopped, his tone cold, “Tess Baker, don’t forget what you said yourself.”
“I have a good memory, I won’t forget.” Tess Baker had a boulder weighing drearily on her heart, but her back was straight. So what if she wouldn’t let him find a woman, her word was not binding on him.
The long figure finally disappeared in the doorway.
Tess Baker, her feet aching and her legs weak, walked slowly to the door, closing it behind her, her body sliding down the door feebly, her eyes empty and dull.
He finally stopped forcing her, but his heart was so empty and stuffy that it became difficult to even breathe.
Nine years have passed and things have gotten worse between them.
For the rest of her life, was she going to be Mrs. Carter in name only, watching him get involved with other women and not being able to do anything about it?
–She hated it!
But so what, there’s no way she’s going to let another woman be Mrs. Carter and take over her two kids!
…
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Bowen Carter does not return to Beauty Garden and instead the Cole family breaks the news that Snowy Cole is completely insane and has little hope of recovering from treatment.
Tess Baker doesn’t sympathize; Snowy Cole has repeatedly framed her, turned black and white upside down, and even arranged for her to be kidnapped in an attempt to force herself on her, and now she has been reduced to what she deserves.
But she felt sorry for Snowy Cole, ruining her life like that for a man she couldn’t love!
“Tess, are you listening?” Linda Mark exclaimed excitedly on the other end of the line, “Snowy Cole did all the bad things and this is definitely karma! The heavens have mercy, hahahahaha!!!”
Tess Baker, “Don’t talk about her, it sucks to hear. How are you and Cliff Ford doing, getting remarried?”
The smile on Linda Mark’s face sank in the phone screen, “You should leave him and me alone, remarriage is impossible.”
After a pause, she continued, “I’m flying to Las Vegas in a few minutes, Tess, if you really think I’m a sister, don’t give Cliff Ford my address again.”
