Chapter 318 – The baby is four and a half years old
“Didn’t Mommy ask me what I told Daddy?” The little one hesitantly said, “I … I just threatened Daddy a little bit and told him not to bully you or I would sell that information to The Carter Group competitors.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Tess Baker, “…”
The situation was one she hadn’t expected!
“Anyway, Mommy doesn’t have to worry, it’s just like you said, I have Great Grandpa to protect me, so I don’t have to be afraid of Daddy bullying me.” The little guy finished quickly, afraid that she would blame him, and hung up the phone the moment he finished.
Tess Baker let out a long sigh and rubbed her swollen brow; her son was in heaven for daring to threaten Bowen Carter to his face!
But it was better for Mike to say that to Bowen Carter in person than for Bowen Carter to actually look into any clues. Mike was after all just a child under five years old, and the credibility of such words was not very high, so she would explain it properly to Bowen Carter later.
But every time she lied in front of Bowen Carter it was a huge challenge for her, and she leaned against the wall for a moment to calm her heartbeat, deciding it would be better to go back to her room and get a nightgown first.
Wearing someone else’s worn pajamas, even if the pajamas were really good, made her feel diabolical!
Tess Baker had just arrived at her newly moved maid’s room when she heard a less than harmonious sound.
Tess Baker could no longer stand or listen. She pushed down her anger and walked quickly to the stairs.
As a result, he met Aunt Zhang halfway, who looked in the direction of Fangfang’s room with a tangled face.
“Aunt Zhang need not say it, I know.” Own brother so bad, Tess Baker face hot, “Staphen Baker do things without bottom line, Aunt Zhang usually better less contact with him.”
Staphen Baker doesn’t care if the person is old, sick, pregnant or not when he wants to get back at someone!
“He … is your brother?” Aunt Zhang asked with a complicated look. Obviously a family, how come they look different and have different characters?
“No.” Tess Baker was too embarrassed to say it, “He’s not even thirteen, he’s just older looking.”
It was time to finish the nine years of compulsory education, and people from the school came to the house, but what mom did was too much of a jerk to scare those teachers away. Then Staphen Baker just hung around the school, but didn’t go to class or take tests.
“Not yet thirteen years old ah …” Aunt Zhang muttered and repeated a sentence, his complexion became even more complicated. This Mr. Baker doesn’t look like a thirteen year old, and what he did, even more so, doesn’t look like something a child under thirteen should do!
Aunt Zhang didn’t scoff or be sarcastic, but Tess Baker still felt embarrassed, “Aunt Zhang, I’ll go back to my room first, you have an early night too.”
There was no denying blood, and even if she didn’t want to admit it, Staphen Baker was her brother!
“Well, good night.” Aunt Zhang, not sure what she was thinking, shook her head after saying goodnight.
Once Tess Baker goes back to her room and meets Bowen Carter, the images that have tormented her all this way disappear from her mind, and all that’s left is Mike copying all of The Carter Group’s information.
“Go take a shower.” Bowen Carter said coolly when he saw her standing halfway to the door.
Tess Baker licked her dry lips and hesitated, but went into the bathroom. Think about it in the shower and explain it to Bowen Carter when she got out.
Lying on the bed after the shower, the man suddenly took a big pull and hugged her tightly from behind.
“Sleep.” Bowen Carter rested his chin on her shoulder, his lips grazing her neck if anything as he spoke.
“I have something I want to tell you.” Tess Baker’s whole body tensed up and tried to move out a little, but his hold was so tight she couldn’t break free, “Mike wasn’t right to threaten you, so don’t take it out on a little kid like him, and what he said about copying all the information from The Carter Group was a lie.”
He was as hot as a big furnace, and it was comfortable to lean in his arms. But she felt uncomfortable all over, or not uncomfortable, but she was afraid of sinking in such an embrace.
Bowen Carter raised an eyebrow, “Fake?”
He wouldn’t believe it if Mike wasn’t [baby four and a half years old], but Mike is, so that’s the nail in the coffin.
“Well, what he said was false.” The two were so close that Tess Baker struggled to adjust her breathing for fear of lying about her heart beating too fast to arouse his suspicion.
Bowen Carter wanted to see how she was going to make it up, “Mike is so good at Go that everyone calls him a child genius, it makes sense that he would be able to hack, so what makes you think what he’s saying is false?”
Tess Baker swallowed quietly, a layer of sweat already forming on her forehead, “Mike’s good at Go because he spends all his time playing it, and no other time doing anything else. He’s usually just a little bit better at playing computers, but there’s no way he could break through The Carter Group’s cyber protection.”
She didn’t have much of a place in the Carter family, Mike was counting on the old man and Bowen Carter to do well, and if this blew up, Bowen Carter might hate Mike, and she couldn’t let that happen.
If Bowen Carter still suspects Mike, she’ll just have to spill the beans about the potted plant to dispel his suspicions about Mike.
But after this sentence, the man behind her had not responded. Normally she could infer something from his subtle changes in expression, but now with her back to him, she couldn’t see anything!
Tess Baker curled her hands unconsciously and took a deep breath, “Bowen Carter, in fact, the leak of The Carter Group’s information … was done by me, and that potted plant with the wiretap was placed in in your office.
“Not even five years old, I certainly don’t believe he’s that good.” Bowen Carter interrupted.
Tess Baker’s heart, hanging high in her throat, fell back into place, thumping violently. So close, just so close he’d blabbed about the potted plant, and then there was no telling what she’d be facing!
So close!
She wiped a handful of sweat from her head.
