Chapter 332 Carter’s mother is also here
The waitress pressed quickly on the ordering machine, and it was hard for her to get a chance to interject a question, “Sir, can you eat the spicy pot and the tomato pot? Is there anything else you’d like to add to the dishes?”
This gentleman looked a lot more imposing than the two ladies, so she’d better ask.
It took Tess Baker a moment to remember that Bowen Carter was still around, and she shared a glance with Linda Mark, and with a couple of dry coughs asked, “If you have a favorite pot roast, we can switch.”
“No need.” Bowen Carter swept a cold glance over Linda Mark, “Order Mike’s favorite too.”
“Mike’s coming too?” Tess Baker heart can not stop the surprise, Mike left also said that he would come to see her every two days, but the result has not come, she also can not get out, the two have not seen for several days.
Bowen Carter nodded soberly. tess Baker thought about her girlfriends, her son, but not about him!
It didn’t take long for the little guy to push open the door and come in, but there was an unexpected visitor behind him – Carter’s mother.
“Mommy, Aunt Linda, I missed you guys!” The little guy pounced on the two and rewarded one of them with a kiss, rewarding Bowen Carter with a cold grunt and a big blank stare.
Carter’s mother looked at the bottom of the heart is very uncomfortable, also do not know this Tess Baker how to teach, the child with them the Carter family people are not close at all, even to Mike this daddy is not close!
Looks like she was right to keep the kid from seeing Tess Baker, gotta keep it up!
“I missed you too, little shit!” Linda Mark gave the little guy a kiss on each of his right and left cheeks, a little closer than usual, with a few moments of regret and grief. She hid her emotions so well, though, that even Tess Baker, her best gal pal, didn’t notice.
The atmosphere at the table was not as good as before because of the arrival of Carter’s mother.
After a while, the hot pot base soup was delivered, Carter’s mother just took one look and asked unhappily, “Why is there no broth?”
“I didn’t know you were coming over just now, so I ordered these two, and I’ll have someone change the bottom of the pot.” Tess Baker really didn’t want to tangle with her mother-in-law over a meal.
Carter’s mother didn’t buy it and laughed conspiratorially, “Did you not know I was coming over, or did you not want me to come over? Do you, as a daughter-in-law, have a big problem with me?”
This is a really tricky question to ask, and it’s clear that you’re looking for trouble.
Tess Baker opened her mouth and before she could reply, Bowen Carter’s cool voice preceded her, “The door is right behind you, go back if you don’t want it.”
Upon hearing this, Tess Baker froze… Bowen Carter actually spoke for her?
“… Okay, I’m going back, and Cable is coming back with me!” Carter’s mother was so angry at his words that her face turned red, her son, whom she had worked so hard to raise, now disowned her as a mother for the sake of a woman! Well, that’s a good one!
She stood up and walked over to the little guy to pull him.
“I want to eat with Mommy, so Grandma can go home first.” The little guy frowned tightly with a small frown, his body shrinking towards Tess Baker’s arms. It pissed him off that Grandma wouldn’t let him go to Mommy these days!
Carter’s mother bent down to coax him, “You go home with Grandma, and Grandma will have someone make you something delicious, much better than what’s here.”
“I just want to eat with mommy, it doesn’t matter what I eat.” The little one showed his teeth and smiled, “I like to eat Mommy’s cooking the most.”
Tess Baker stroked her son’s head, “I haven’t seen Mike in days.”
By implication, she also wanted the little one to stay here.
Carter’s mother coaxed the little one half a day, the grandchildren do not go, she looked unhappy to re-sit back in the seat, overbearing order a clear soup, the tomato pot and spicy pot back. She was uncomfortable in her heart, no reason to make their hearts ache.
A meal of saber-rattling.
Near the end of the meal, Carter’s mother instructed Bowen Carter, “Snowy is getting worse and worse, she calls out your name to everyone she sees, and doesn’t even recognize her dad. When you have time to accompany Tess Baker to visit Dennis Gate in the hospital, you might as well go see Snowy.”
Carter and Cole have been friends for decades, how can they just break it off?
“No.” Bowen Carter didn’t give it a second’s thought and answered cleanly; Snowy had victimized Tess Baker so many times, there was no way he was going to visit her!
Carter’s mother was so angry that she slammed her chopsticks on the table when she heard that, “Dennis Gate is unknown to Tess Baker, you can visit him, how come you can’t visit Snowy, who grew up on your ass!”
“I would not have allowed her to follow me if you had not requested it.” Bowen Carter’s voice didn’t waver with the slightest emotion, not even a moment’s hesitation.
His refusal to visit Snowy Cole so bluntly hurts Tess Baker’s heart, but it’s mixed with worry. He was so heartless, and if the secret of the potted plant came out to him, she would not fare well!
Carter’s mother, knowing that it was useless to force him, gasped and said no more, pulling the little one with her and trying to leave.
“Daddy.” The little one shouted reluctantly, “I want to sleep with you and Mommy tonight.”
He really misses his mommy, but it’s hard to even see her.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Cable is good, there are bad people at Beauty Garden, let’s go back to the old house, okay?” Even if you know that the little one’s IQ is much higher than other children, but in Carter’s mother’s opinion, this is her grandson, and she is used to talking to him in the tone of coaxing children.
The little guy shook his head, “It’s okay, I’m not afraid, there is mom … and dad to protect me.”
The last sentence was said with great reluctance.
“I’ll arrange for a ride home.” Bowen Carter said with a flourish as he picked the little one straight up.
Carter’s mother held her breath, but she couldn’t change her son’s decision, frowning at Tess Baker and leaving with an ugly look on her face.
“Great!” Linda Mark gave the little one a thumbs up, that Mrs. South had been snooty all day and she’d been looking at her for a long time!
Instead of giving her a smug smile back like before, the little guy sighed this time; it was annoying that he still couldn’t protect Mommy.
The purpose has been achieved, and he does not want to stay with the scum daddy, struggling to jump down and go over to pull Tess Baker’s hand.
Bowen Carter looked down at his empty hand, and lifted his eyes to look at the mother and son who were extraordinarily distant from him, and his heart seemed to be wrapped in a hard little stone, which hurt.
When several people walked out together, Tess Baker called back to Linda Mark, which realized that her best friend had lost a lot of weight and her stomach was … deflated?
“Where’s the baby?” When the two had first come into the face, Tess Baker had been too happy to notice her stomach.
Linda Mark, with her hands in her coat pockets and her eyes downcast, said indifferently, “It’s running!”
“The baby was fine, why did it bleed? Did Cliff Ford not protect you?” Tess Baker blamed herself when she blamed Cliff Ford for being careless. If only she could have persuaded Linda to come back for the baby, this wouldn’t have happened!
A flash of anger flashed under Linda Mark’s eyes but quickly dissipated into nothingness, “There are so many miscarriages every day, not much more than one more for me, nothing unusual!”
