Chapter 300 You think I’m afraid of human life lawsuits?
“… I’ll think of something.” Tess Baker hung up the phone, her mind in turmoil.
If she wanted to stay Mrs. Carter, she’d better not mess with Bowen Carter again, but she couldn’t really ignore the seniors.
The senior is in good health. Don’t David Gate and Puppy White know how to talk to him? But it was useless to say anything now, she had to rush to the hospital!
“Tess, is it Mr. Gu’s side asking you to go over there again?” Aunt Zhang was a bit distraught, “Mr. Gu told you to stay at Beauty Garden, so don’t you dare mess with him again.”
“… I have to get out.” Tess Baker had a hard time making that decision, but human life was more important than all else, after all. She talks nicely to Bowen Carter and tries to keep him from mentioning the divorce.
She stood up and put on her coat, ready to go out, but the servants and two bodyguards stopped her from going out, even Aunt Zhang didn’t help her.
Tess Baker had no choice but to call Bowen Carter, who answered in seconds, but hung up when she heard her say she had to go to the hospital to look after Dennis Gate.
She made dozens more calls, but none were answered.
Tess Baker is as anxious as an ant on fire, but she can’t get out, and Bowen Carter isn’t answering his phone, so all she can do is wait irritably for him to come back.
Puppy White made a few more phone calls, saying all the good and bad things, and finally begging over and over again. Aunt Zhang, on the other hand, advised Tess Baker over and over again not to give Bowen Carter a hard time.
At 7:30 p. m., Bowen Carter returned, followed by a springy Lucy Kid.
Tess Baker finally didn’t listen to Aunt Zhang’s advice and rushed to Bowen Carter, saying anxiously and solemnly, “Bowen Carter, the senior is really in trouble, and you don’t want to be involved in a lawsuit, right? If you suspect that I have some kind of unseen relationship with the senior, you can go to the hospital with me!”
Bowen Carter won’t let her go to see the senior because he’s afraid she’ll do something wrong to him. Then he’d go with her so he wouldn’t have to worry!
“You think I’m afraid of a lawsuit?” Bowen Carter’s eyes were beady, it was Dennis Gate again, the only man she ever thought about was this one! And she did it with such honor!
Lucy Kid follows with a taunt, “Getting Bowen to accompany you on a lover’s visit, Miss Baker, what would the others think of Bowen if Bowen did that?”
“I didn’t mean anything else.” Tess Baker’s brow furrowed, “Bowen Carter, if you don’t want to see the seniors, you can have someone else look at me, and I’ll never do anything out of the ordinary.”
Bowen Carter looked at her coldly, unmoved.
“If you let me visit the senior, I’ll agree to all the demands except divorce.” That feeling of carrying a human life on her back was so bad that she didn’t want to experience it a second time!
Lucy Kid gloats, “Miss Baker that’s a big statement, Bowen asked you to cut my toenails today and you wouldn’t even do it.”
“… I’ll do it as long as I’m allowed to visit my senior.” Tess Baker hesitated for just a second before blushing hard and agreeing.
A nail technician is also a profession, and she treats her customers as if they were getting a manicure for once!
Lucy Kid exaggeratedly covered her mouth, “Miss Baker was reluctant before, but now she’s willing to do it for Young Master Gate, you’re really in love with him …”
“You shut up.” Bowen Carter interrupted her with a grimace and turned his head to Tess Baker, his voice icy, “Are you really willing to agree to anything?”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Except for the divorce.” Tess Baker was vaguely uneasy, but gritted her teeth and agreed.
Bowen Carter’s eyes were icy, “What if I asked you to stay with me every night?”
She had been unwilling to let him touch her all this time, and he hadn’t forced her. For a man with a strong spirit, it’s an absolute ordeal to watch the woman you love dangling in front of you every day but not be able to touch.
“… Good.” Tess Baker’s face went red and white, white and green, before she finally forced herself to agree with the nausea in her heart.
Bowen Carter should have been happy when she said yes, but he wasn’t happy at all. Was Dennis Gate so high on her list? Is Dennis Gate so high in her heart that she’s willing to do whatever it takes to see him?
He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, “You can’t spend more than two hours in the hospital every day, sleep with me at night, and work as a maid for Wendy Summer during the day. Agree to these conditions and I’ll let you go to the hospital!”
Lucy Kid raised her eyebrows, “Miss Baker can think before you say yes, don’t feel aggravated when I ask you to cut your toenails!”
“Staying at the hospital for no more than two hours, this doesn’t count as road time, does it?” Tess Baker tried not to think about the humiliating demands and asked the question she cared about.
Bowen Carter’s thin lips tightened into a straight line, expressionlessly pushed her away and walked towards the upstairs.
“Asking to visit another man and not letting Bowen get a divorce, Miss Baker has two feet in the same boat?” Lucy Kid was full of sarcasm.
Tess Baker ignored her words, grabbed her bag and headed out the door, and she took Bowen Carter’s acquiescence for granted.
But as soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by the bodyguards and servants, “I’m sorry Young Grandmother, you can’t go out.”
“Get out of the way!” Tess Baker’s brow furrowed, “Bowen Carter gave me permission to go out, who are you to stop me?”
A few people looked at each other, and one said, “Young granny, just now Master Carter did not agree … right?”
“If he doesn’t agree, he’ll just say so.” Seeing that several people were still not letting go, Tess Baker said, “Shall I call him over and give you the order myself?”
Hearing this, several people did not dare to stop again, hesitantly let go.
They don’t dare let Master Carter explain to them, if Master Carter takes it out on them, it’s over!
“Tess, do you want to reconsider?” Aunt Zhang asked as she caught up.
Aunt Zhang is really good to herself, Tess Baker does not want to break her heart, but also do not want to change their decision, “Aunt Zhang, I know you are good to me, but if I do not go, the senior really happened, I will have a lifelong conscience.”
“… Well, then you pay attention to safety on the road.” Aunt Zhang took out five hundred dollars and shoved it into her hand, “Take a taxi on the road, don’t walk there or back again, your feet hurt like that, Aunt Zhang’s heart hurts.”
Tess Baker’s throat tightened and she hugged Aunt Zhang fiercely, “I’m sorry, Aunt Zhang, thank you so much.”
I’m sorry for always worrying you.
I’m sorry for that time when I was estranged from you because you doubted me.
“Well, go early and come back early, go ahead.” Aunt Zhang couldn’t understand what she was doing, but didn’t stop her again because the words ‘I’ll have a bad conscience for the rest of my life’ and a bad conscience was too much to bear.
Tess Baker put the money in her purse and exited the villa, intending to call a cab, but saw that there was already a car waiting in front of the villa.
“Giving me a ride? Bowen Carter let that happen?” Tess Baker was a little surprised, how could Light give her a ride when he was Bowen Carter’s exclusive driver?
