Chapter 297 – Moving to the Maid’s Room
“!” Tess Baker’s heart was racing, she thought Bowen Carter would give her a hard time, but she didn’t expect him to just file for divorce.
Her indifference made Bowen Carter’s face grow harder and harder as he squeezed every word out of his throat, “Too happy to speak when you hear the good news?” I’m not going to let you go with Dennis Gate like that!
But before the latter sentence could be uttered, Tess Baker was heard to say, “I disagree.”
“There’s no use in you disagreeing.” Bowen Carter watched her stay with Dennis Gate except for bathroom breaks, and anger screamed in his heart, “There’s no way I’m letting a woman around who has another man in her heart!”
“I’ve said many times that I don’t have anything else in mind for Senior, how many times do you want me to say it before you believe me? No matter what, there’s no way I’m divorcing you.” With the old man’s former promise in place, Tess Baker had a few things on her mind. But Bowen Carter never did things by the book, and he was afraid that if he came on hard, the old man couldn’t care less.
But Bowen Carter just grunted, didn’t say another word about the divorce, and started the car to Beauty Garden.
Aunt Zhang came out when she heard the commotion, “Sir, Tess, would you like to have a late night snack?”
“No need.” Bowen Carter flatly refused, “Move all of Tess Baker’s things to the room where the maids are staying and pick up Wendy Summer tomorrow.”
After saying that, he went into the villa.
“How does this … this make you live in a maid’s room?” Aunt Zhang is full of worry, Tess as a wife but she has to live in the room where the maid lives, isn’t it humiliating to Tess?
Tess Baker pushed down the sourness in her heart and smiled, “It’s the same wherever you live, please Aunt Zhang.”
Bowen Carter didn’t insist on another divorce, but the anger in her heart didn’t go away, and it wasn’t going to be a good time for her.
“Is it because of the matter of you accompanying Mr. Gu in the hospital?” Aunt Zhang spoke at length, “Don’t blame Aunt Zhang for talking too much, not to mention Mr. such a pride of heaven, if it were any other man, they wouldn’t be able to stand their own women accompanying other men day and night!”
“I haven’t slept well for the past few days, I’m a little sleepy, so I’m going to trouble Aunt Zhang to clean up.” Tess Baker didn’t want to talk about this topic, politely smiled at Aunt Zhang and went into the villa.
Aunt Zhang sighed and called two maids to pack together while Tess Baker waited in the hall.
The servants were quick to spread gossip, and in no time at all the servants of Beauty Garden knew that Tess Baker, the nominal Mrs. Carter, was moving into the room where the maids lived, and each of them sized her up with a different mind.
Automatically ignoring the ogling of the servants, Tess Baker took a few sips of the hot water and warmed up a bit.
“Tess, everything is packed.” Aunt Zhang said as she walked up to her.
Tess Baker hmmm’d, “Thanks Aunt Zhang.”
Before Aunt Zhang started her long lecture on teaching her the way to get along with couples, she took a step forward and said, “I’m so sleepy, I’m going to rest first.”
Aunt Zhang could only look at her back and sigh heavily.
With the exception of Aunt Zhang, the maids were all in rooms of two to a room, and when Tess Baker entered the room, she saw a woman with inverted triangle eyes sitting inside.
“Hello young grandmother, my name is Fang Fang.” The woman named Fang Fang came up to Tess Baker’s bed and asked in a self-effacing manner, “Why did Master Carter let you stay in the maid’s room? Is that Wendy Summer going to take Mrs. Carter’s place?”
Fang sputtered and her eyes lit up.
Tess Baker’s brow furrowed a few times, not liking the idea of discussing such a personal topic with a stranger, “I’m sleepy, I’m going to bed.”
“It won’t take long to answer my question!” Fang Fang was still lolling on her bed, “You don’t mind me being a servant if you don’t talk to me about this, do you?”
“If you want to know, you can ask Bowen Carter. please move over, I’m going to bed.” She hadn’t seen this Fang Fang person when she left back then, she was supposed to be a newcomer.
Tess Baker was at her bedside for three days straight, without rest and under so much mental stress that she almost fell asleep when she touched the bed.
But in the dream Bowen Carter had her senior killed and divorced her to marry Wendy Summer, who also abused her two children, and she opened her eyes to the accusations of her two children, and a cold sweat had broken out on her head.
“Master Carter asked you to serve Wendy Summer!” Fang Fang had gotten up to work long ago and came in to call her.
Tess Baker suspected she had misheard, “What did you say?”
“Master Carter told you to get up and go take care of Wendy Summer, or don’t be Mrs. Carter!” Fang said again, tempted to ask her how she felt now, but swallowed the words that came to her lips when she thought of last night’s experience.
Tess Baker’s hands opened and clenched together, clenched and opened again, anger churning in her heart. Having a wife serve a mistress, Bowen Carter had deliberately insulted her, hadn’t he?
But if she didn’t agree, she would have to make Wendy Summer the stepmother of her two children, “… Okay, I’ll be right there.”
“You really want to go?” Fang Fang finished and hurriedly covered her mouth, “Cough, then I’ll wait for you outside, you remember to hurry up, Master Carter said to wait for ten minutes at most.”
“… Uh-huh.” Tess Baker clenched her lip and squeezed a word out of her teeth with difficulty, dressed as quickly as she could, wiped her face hastily, and without even brushing her teeth, was rushed to the dining room by Fang.
In the dining room.
The table had long been set with food, and Bowen Carter sat expressionless in the upper seat, while Lucy Kid sat with a smug face to his left.
Tess Baker sneered, it was only seven in the morning, and Bowen Carter had brought Wendy Summer over to torment her!
“I heard Bowen say that you are a good cook, so why don’t you cook me a breakfast first.” Lucy Kid said with a smile as she rubbed her stomach.
Bowen Carter frowned; he’d never said anything like that to her before.
“Miss Sheng, this table is all freshly made this morning, Tess likes it very much, why don’t you try it too?” Aunt Zhang is still partial to Tess Baker.
“I don’t have the same taste as Miss Baker.” Lucy Kid politely refused, “Miss Baker, please cook a breakfast for me yourself.”
“What a coincidence, I can make several things that I like to eat, Miss Sheng and I do not have the same taste, I am afraid you do not like to eat.” Tess Baker eyebrows faint, this kind of word game happens to be her good at it.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
