Chapter 416 – What Are You Worried About?
“Doctors know I’m dirty? I’m pretty well known.” Tess Baker looked straight at him, not struggling or retorting, just uttering a sneer.
For a second, Bowen Carter wanted to strangle her; without her, he wouldn’t have to suffer so much.
But when he thought of the gut-wrenching feeling he had when she left six years ago, he clenched his fists and got out of bed, getting back up on the floor, “Don’t ever put yourself through that again, and I won’t be so kind as to get you a doctor every time like I did this time.”
She’s a mom of two and she can’t take care of herself?
“Kindly? Bowen Carter, would you give yourself a little too much credit?” Tess Baker laughed mockingly.
Bowen Carter’s brow furrowed, “Tess Baker!”
“I’m not deaf, I can hear you if you keep your voice down.” The curve of Tess Baker’s mouth disappeared a little, her voice was awfully calm, “You didn’t call me a doctor today to save me, but to save Wendy Summer, did you?”
If he didn’t know she was Wendy Summer, would he have just left her to her own devices?
I guess so.
Bowen Carter’s fists tightened unconsciously, and his breathing became a little more rapid, but there was not the slightest rise or fall of emotion on his handsome face.
He wondered what her reaction would be to the realization that she was Lucia, but never thought that she would be so quick and direct about the fact that she was Lucia.
“If it’s because of this, you don’t need to call a doctor for me in the future.” Tess Baker’s heart was bitter, but her face didn’t show half of it, “I don’t have any memories of Wendy Summer, I don’t have a clearer picture of what kind of person she really is than you do, and I’m just Tess Baker, not anyone else!”
In the end, Bowen Carter had only ever loved the woman she once was, and the woman she … was now was nothing more than a liar and a shameless woman in his heart!
“What are you worried about when you’re in such a hurry to get rid of Lucia, to get rid of what you used to be?” All of Bowen Carter’s heartfelt anticipation turned to anger as his hawk-like gaze locked onto her, “Afraid Dennis Gate will mind that I used to be the only thing on your mind?”
“Say what you like.” Tess Baker looked away from him.
Bowen Carter grimaced, fists clenched.
He thought she would be happy to know that she was Lucia, but her first reaction turned out to be that she was afraid that Dennis Gate would mind!
What does she take their once for granted?
“You go out, I’m going to rest for the rest of the day.” Tess Baker closed her eyes, physically and mentally exhausted.
Bowen Carter’s beady gaze fell on her and he said, word for word, “Come messing with me when you have another man in your heart and you’ll regret it.”
With that, he turned and headed for the door.
“I regret it now.” Tess Baker’s voice was soft, but loud enough for him to hear, “Bowen Carter, the thing I regret most in twenty-nine years of living is falling in love with you.”
Or twice.
Bowen Carter lurched to his feet, blood creeping a little into his eyes as he turned to stare at her as if to devour her.
But Tess Baker closed her eyes and didn’t look at him again, except for two lines of clear tears that snaked down her cheeks and finally flowed into the pillow.
From the age of fourteen to twenty-nine, she gave him fifteen of her best years, only to end up with a tragedy.
Sins.
What a sinful fate!
Bowen Carter strides out of the room, finally stopping at the corner of the doorway to take a deep breath. The corners of his eyes were crimson, and there was a faint glint of tears in his eyes, but they quickly disappeared as if they were just an illusion.
” Master Carter, are you alright?” Kevin Ma asked warily as he happened to pass by.
Bowen Carter squinted at her and commanded with a grimace, “Take care of her, and if anything happens to her, you won’t be any better off!!!”
“Know … it.” Kevin Ma was so scared that she wanted to quit immediately, but the salary Master Carter offered was too generous for her to give up.
Bowen Carter glanced toward the room and, without further stopping, strutted out of the cottage and drove to the old THE Carter family home.
In the hall, Carter Sr. and the little guy and Wind Carter were there.
As soon as he saw him come in, the little guy jumped right on him, hitting and questioning, “Why did you lock Mommy up again? Where is she?”
Bowen Carter looked down at the little man who looked exactly like him, the only child he and Tess Baker had ever had.
Didn’t she ever consider Mike’s feelings when she cheated on Dennis Gate and was pregnant with Dennis Gate’s child?
What qualifies a cheating woman like her to be a mother?
“Don’t touch my great-grandson!” Without waiting for Bowen Carter to make a move, Master Carter sternly commanded.
Bowen Carter, not quite ready to take on his own son, pivoted the little guy aside and sat down on the couch with a stoic face.
Master Carter coughed and tapped his cane on the ground a few times, looking over at Wind Carter.
“Third Brother,” Wind Carter said in a gentle voice, “Third Sister-in-law said that the dead child wasn’t yours, so don’t you have to ask the doctor who delivered the baby and those nurses first, and wait until you find out what’s going on?”
“You think I haven’t checked?” Bowen Carter squeezed every word from his throat.
ASSISTANT has checked it out and those nurses are still sticking to the original story.
Wind Carter was silent.
“Tess Baker really cuckolded you?” Elder Carter’s face instantly sank, so furious that he tapped his cane hard on the ground a dozen times, “She actually tried to take a wild seed and pass it off as THE Carter family’s child, she’s really tired of living!”From NôvelDrama.Org.
“You guys are bullshitting me, Mommy is not that kind of person! She was wronged by you guys!” The little one yelled at the top of his lungs, his voice a little shrill from being overly drawn out.
Because of Tess Baker’s cheating, Master Carter felt diabolical even looking at the little guy and instructed Wind Carter, “You take him down!”
“I’m not leaving!” The little one’s eyes were red and his voice was hoarse, “Where’s Mommy? I’m going to find her!”
“You are not allowed to see her again! Old Six, why don’t you take Cable down?” Elder Carter had always felt that Tess Baker wouldn’t dare to cheat him even if she was bold enough to do so, and this time he had really looked the other way!
Wind Carter looked at the little one and couldn’t bear it, “Grandpa, I don’t think Third Sister-in-law is the kind of person who is a watery woman, is this matter to be investigated again?”
“Are you deaf? Your third brother just said he already checked!” Elder Carter huffed and puffed in anger, “You hurry up and take Cable down, don’t let him make a mess here!”
Wind Carter sighed and went down with the crying little one.
The hall was awfully quiet.
Bowen Carter tightened his handsome face and propped his elbows on the knees of his legs as he said in a cold voice’s, “This Wendy Summer is a fake, what are you going to do about it?”
“Fake … fake?” Receiving two big reversals in a row, Master Carter’s heart was a little too much to bear, “How do you know? Isn’t it a mistake?”
“Tess Baker’s adoptive father turned over those papers from the year of her car accident, and she’s the one who’s Lucia,” Bowen Carter’s fists couldn’t help clenching as he said this, “This Wendy Summer before her, she’s been someone else pretending to be whose, I haven’t found out yet.”
