Chapter 280 – He Didn’t Help Her
Lucy Kid’s face flushed red, every pore was hot, and she just wanted to find a hole in the ground and rush in.
It’s so humiliating!
But ever since Miss Cole went completely insane, Mr. Duke has become more and more terrifying, threatening her with her grandma to squeeze Tess Baker out as soon as possible, or encouraging Tess Baker to leave Master Carter’s side, and she’s just going to have to tough it out and get on with it!
With that being said, and with orders from the old man, Tess Baker had no choice but to have the servants put her things in her room.
Bowen Carter didn’t follow her to her room, probably accompanied Wendy Summer to her room.
Tess Baker packed her things up briefly and sat on her bed, staring. She basically just lounged around Beauty Garden every day now, and other than that, it was just the occasional trip to the old mansion… when did her life become so boring?
She didn’t know what was going through her head, and when the maid came over to call her to dinner, she realized that over two hours had passed.
…
Restaurant.
the Carter family The old mansion is crowded, but unless it’s a holiday, the old man’s birthday or some other special day, basically each family eats their own meals.
When Tess Baker arrived in the dining room, the large, long dining table had Master Carter sitting directly above him, Bowen Carter sitting expressionless on Master’s left, and Lucy Kid on Master’s right.
“Sit.” Elder Carter ordered mid-sentence.
The maid pulled out the chair next to Bowen Carter and Tess Baker had to sit next to him.
This feeling of sitting at the same table with her husband and her husband’s lover and having to act like she’s generous and doesn’t care is just too stomach-churning and disgusting.
Her upper body stiffened and straightened, her eyes lowered as she tried not to look at Wendy Summer’s smug face and the interaction between Wendy Summer and Bowen Carter.
“Miss Baker, try the red meat, it has a nice flavor and texture.” Lucy Kid warmly gave Tess Baker a piece of braised pork, which she knew she disliked.
Tess Baker wrinkled her nose and didn’t eat the piece of braised pork, but didn’t chuck it out either, instead taking a chopstick of string beans.
“I’ve heard that Miss Baker likes red meat very much, so why don’t you eat the red meat that I clip?” Lucy Kid put down her chopsticks and bit her lip with a pitiful to the core look, “Do you dislike me so much that you won’t eat what I clip.”
Tess Baker munched on her string beans and ignored the posturing Lucy Kid, a woman who was too good at playing the victim!
“Does Miss Baker even bother to talk to me anymore?” Lucy Kid spoke as tears barred her eyes, “If you hate me so much, will you hate my kids even more?”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
She stroked her stomach, her eyes filled with fear, “How can I feel comfortable leaving my child with you when you’re like this.”
Snap!
Elder Carter put his chopsticks on the table with a dignified expression, “What’s all the yelling about when you’re having a meal!”
After saying that, he glared at Lucy Kid with boredom, he hated this kind of sniveling woman the most. Not just a piece of red meat? What’s there to count!
After all, the old man went to war to kill people, the body of the heavy killing gas, Lucy Kid was glared at by him, scared to dare not make a demon.
With no more raucous buzzing in her ears, Tess Baker was finally able to eat properly. The cola chicken wings she wanted to eat were a little far away, and she just looked at them and withdrew her gaze.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, bony hands appeared in her line of sight, followed by cola chicken wings landing in her bowl.
Tess Baker looked up to see Bowen Carter’s expressionless face, not even pausing to look at her. She was hesitating to say thank you when he picked up another chicken wing and put it in Lucy Kid’s bowl across the table.
“Bowen, my favorite food is cola chicken wings, so you always remember!” Lucy Kid said daintily, looking at Bowen Carter lustfully, with peach blossoms on her cheeks.
The chicken wings in the bowl were no longer so glamorous, and Tess Baker, with a flash of gloom in her eyes, took a chopstickful of fish and lowered her head to take a small bite.
Bowen Carter’s brow furrowed invisibly, his thin lips pursed in a straight line of displeasure, subconsciously looking in the direction of Tess Baker. Her unconcerned look made him feel like he was stuck in his throat, and his face became more and more gloomy.
The meal was finished in a slightly bizarre atmosphere.
Elder Carter looked very unhappy, and after dinner he went out aggressively on his crutches, without even leaving a word.
“Bowen, the doctor said that pregnant women often walk around, which is good for labor, will you accompany me to the garden for a walk?” Lucy Kid hugged Bowen Carter’s arm and pampered him, her voice was so sweet that it seemed to be coated with a layer of honey.
Bowen Carter swept his afterglow at Tess Baker next to him, his original refusal swallowed into his stomach, and he coldly spat out one word, “Good.”
Tess Baker, oblivious to the two men’s words, looked pale as she walked out the door with her stomach in her hands.
Lucy Kid called out to her from behind and said thoughtfully, “Miss Baker, you’re almost eight months pregnant, right? Why don’t you accompany Bowen and I for a walk as well, so that it will be conducive to the birth of the baby.”
“No.” Tess Baker refused without a backward glance. She couldn’t avoid Bowen Carter and Wendy Summer enough, so how could she go to the garden with them?
“Wait!” Seeing that she insisted on leaving, Lucy Kid rushed over to block her and said softly, “Are you afraid that Bowen will mind so you won’t go? It’s okay, I’ll talk to Bowen, he won’t mind.”
“My feet hurt.” Tess Baker spat out three words impatiently, and Wendy Summer was like an undefeatable beast, popping up to her every now and then to brush up on her presence!
And a mistress came to his wife openly and provocatively, and the husband stood by coldly … is really ridiculous!
Tess Baker gently pivoted Lucy Kid to the side, “Excuse me, please.”
Unexpectedly, just as her hand touched the other, the other party clutched her hand and fell backward with a cry of surprise!
Tess Baker’s pupils crinkled as she guessed what her opponent was going to do, and it was too late when she tried to yank Lucy Kid.
Stab!
Lucy Kid slapped her hand away and crashed into the dining room table, which scraped against the floor with a harsh sound. Two plates fell to the floor, spilling their contents in what looked like a mess.
Gritting her teeth, she purposely put her hand on the pieces of plate, her voice had taken on a sobbing tone, “My stomach hurts, I’m going to have a miscarriage, please, call a doctor for me!”
Her hand was near her hip, and the plate fragment stuck into her hand, and a large piece of blood spread down her hand and flowed to the bottom of her hip, which looked like blood flowing out from the bottom of her hip.
The servants watched the scene in shock, momentarily dumbfounded.
Bowen Carter was quicker than they could react and ran as fast as he could to Lucy Kid, picked her up in a grim-faced cross-body hug and ran out the door.
Mom and Dad don’t approve of Tess Baker continuing to be the Carter family’s daughter-in-law, and if something happens to Wendy Summer this time and she’s left without a child, Grandpa will never defend Tess Baker again! He won’t allow that to happen!
“Quickly go and arrange a car for the young master!”
“Immediately notify Dr. Liu to follow him there, nothing can happen to Miss Sheng.”
The maids had already returned to their senses, methodically cleaning up the floor, as well as arranging the car, informing Dr. Liu, and then going to inform the old man and Carter’s fatherCarter’s mother.
