Chapter 306 It’s because they’re afraid of delaying their date, right?
“Cable is not available to answer the phone, he’s fine, you don’t have to call here again.” A footstep sounded on the other side of the phone, followed by the old man’s domineering voice.
Tess Baker wanted to ask her son if he was crying, if he was angry, and why he couldn’t answer the phone, but she didn’t have time to say a word, and just as she lifted her breath, the phone was hung up. When she called again, the maid just said don’t call again and hung up never to answer.
Tess Baker called Bowen Carter and begged him to let her go to the Carter family’s old house. But the assistant answered the phone and said Bowen Carter was in a meeting for at least three hours.
Tess Baker rubbed her swollen brow and had no choice but to turn to THE Mark Family for help in getting the little guy on the phone for some home truths. If Mike was his usual self, she could rest easy.
But when THE Mark Family called back and said it was business as usual, she realized she was still relieved.
Knock knock!
“Tess, lunch is ready, why don’t you come out and have some food.” Aunt Zhang knocked on the door and said.
Tess Baker was indeed hungry, opened the door and followed Aunt Zhang to the restaurant, where she saw that the table was already full of food and the restaurant smelled great.
“Bowen asked me to meet him for lunch, and you’re rewarded with all this food on the table, so you’re welcome.” Lucy Kid wore exquisite makeup and made a special trip to the restaurant to speak to Tess Baker. In fact, it was Mr. Duke who asked her out, and she only said those words to diabolize Tess Baker.
Tess Baker’s face turned blue, assistant just said that Bowen Carter was in a meeting, but it turned out to be just an excuse! Bowen Carter didn’t even answer her phone call because he was afraid that she would delay their date, right?
“Tess, I made all these meals according to your taste, so sit down and eat.” Aunt Zhang didn’t dare to dislike Lucy Kid openly, and could only say implicitly that these meals were not made for her at all.
Without another word, Lucy Kid gave Tess Baker a smug look and took the coat from the maid, put it on and left. She also answered a phone call on her way out, “Bowen, I’ll be right there, it’s only been a morning and you miss me? Bugger, flirting with me again, I’ll be right there!”
It ended with a loud kiss through the phone.
Tess Baker clutched her chopsticks so hard that her fingertips turned white, should she not persuade Mike, those secret information sold to The Carter Group competitors, so that she did not have to be trapped in Beauty Garden every day as if she was in hell!
No, the Carter family is just sorry for her, but good for Mike, she can not let Mike do such things. And he is not yet five years old, should not do this kind of illegal and disorderly things, if from childhood three views have problems is not good!
“Tess, are you not feeling well?” Aunt Zhang asked worriedly when she saw that her face was white without a trace of blood.
Tess Baker pulled a smile that was worse than a cry, “I’m fine, Aunt Zhang don’t worry.”
Since Bowen Carter had come up with the excuse of a meeting, she didn’t bother to break it down; she’d just call him back in three hours and plead with him to go to Mike.
With no one in the way at the table, Tess Baker ate half a bowl more than usual.
“Young Granny, Master Carter asked me to take you to the hospital and pick you back up in two hours or so.” When she finished eating, the driver, Kou, said.
Tess Baker was wiping her mouth in a lurch, pulling out a mocking smile, “Letting you transport me, or letting you spy on me?”
A while ago he sent someone to follow her, now he’s switched straight to the obvious?
Ah Guang lowered his head and didn’t say anything, Master Carter had instructed him to do so, he was just conveying Master Carter’s words and didn’t know what Master Carter’s intentions were.
However, he felt that Master Carter was concerned about the young granny, not trying to spy on her. If he really was spying, he should have been allowed to follow her up there.
“I’m going to get a shirt while you go ahead and drive.” The clothes Tess Baker had worn this morning had been used to wipe her feet, she went back to her room to get a jacket and then took the car to the hospital. Spying was fine, she’d never done anything that crossed the line of asking anyway!
Upon arriving at the hospital, Tess Baker got out of the car and after taking a few steps out, whipped her head around and asked, “You’re not going?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“Master Carter told me to wait downstairs.” Light said truthfully.
Tess Baker’s eyes flashed, it turned out that she had misunderstood Bowen Carter and that Light wasn’t there to spy on her! She smiled awkwardly at Light and went into the hospital.
While waiting for the elevator, a gorgeous, charming male voice suddenly came from behind her, “Hello again, Mrs. Carter.”
Tess Baker stiffened and turned her head to look back, blushing hard when she saw Frank Duke’s deep, imploring eyes. She didn’t like him, and was still a little afraid of him; every time she stood in front of him, she had the fear of a venomous snake coiling around her neck and spitting out its letters.
“I’m glad to see Mrs. Carter, how come Mrs. Carter looks like she’s seen an enemy every time she sees me?” Frank Duke switched places with the man beside Tess Baker and turned his head to look at her with a smirk.
But his smile in Tess Baker’s eyes made her feel a creepy feeling, “Mr. Duke is joking, I have not met you several times, let alone personal grudges, how can I see you as if you were an enemy?”
She had never felt the elevator was so slow, and every second she spent with Frank Duke was extremely torturous.
“Personal grudge, there is still a little.” With an evil smile on his face, Frank Duke asked carelessly, “Did you know that Snowy went completely insane?”
“Heard something about that.” Tess Baker’s brow furrowed a few times; Frank Duke spoke lazily but was aggressive in his content.
Ding!
When the elevator arrived, Tess Baker followed the crowd into it, trying to avoid Frank Duke, but he was like a cowhide, how to shake off can not be shaken off, into the elevator, the two stood together, even because the elevator is too crowded, their clothes are touching together.
“Actually, if it weren’t for you, or Master Carter being that little bit nicer to Snowy, she couldn’t have turned out like this.” Frank Duke’s voice was small, but the two were close enough that Tess Baker heard every word he said.
Tess Baker was afraid of him for no reason, but when she heard him say this, she felt more anger, “A murderer who kills and doesn’t kill, and is mentally depressed, comes to blame the victims of a catastrophe? Mr. Duke’s trippiness is really opening my eyes.”
It was Snowy Cole who falsely accused her, it was Snowy Cole who attempted to have her kidnapped and gang raped, it was Snowy Cole who later repeatedly tried to harm her and the baby in her womb, and when it came to Frank Duke, she was the one at fault.
Does Snowy Cole want to kill her, and she has to wash her neck and stand up to Snowy Cole and say kill? Heh, that’s ridiculous!
Frank Duke’s mouth curved a little wider, but the bottom of his eyes were a sheet of ice, “And Mrs. Carter never felt guilty?”
“Why didn’t Mr. Duke ask Miss Cole about this?” Tess Baker’s face didn’t look good either, she hadn’t questioned Snowy Cole as a victim yet, and Frank Duke was instead crusading on Snowy Cole’s behalf first?
A group of people in the elevator looked at the two tit-for-tat with gossip on their faces.
