Chapter 405 – Well Water Doesn’t Violate River Water
Tess Baker sat upright, fire spewing from under her eyes, “Since you don’t believe me, and we’re divorced, wouldn’t it be nice if we stayed out of each other’s way from now on?”
What happens to The Gate Group has nothing to do with her, but Linda and her aunt and uncle are so good to her, she can’t drag them down!
Her reaction made Bowen Carter’s face grow harder and harder; she really did have that Dennis Gate in her heart, how else could she care about The Gate Group?
He spat out three words coldly, “Impossible.”
She made a monkey out of him, and she wants to wipe the slate clean? Dream on!
“What the hell more do you want?!” The words were squeezed from Tess Baker’s throat; the wiretap thing was her fault, but hadn’t he ever made a mistake in their relationship?
They were both twenty-nine years old and had been entangled for nine years; was she going to be so entangled with him for the rest of her life?
Bowen Carter hit the steering wheel and the car turned left, “Soon you’ll know.”
“I don’t care what the hell you’re going to do, but you have to let me out of the car right now!” The baby was still nowhere to be found, and Tess Baker’s heart sank.
Bowen Carter’s eyes were filled with sarcasm, “What if I say no?”
Tess Baker was stunned, a mass of stuffiness clogging her chest and weighing her down. What could she do when he said no? What could she do but beg, what could she do but explain?
“Bowen Carter,” she tried to keep her composure, “This dead child really isn’t mine, and if you don’t believe me, you can have me take a paternity test with this child. Our children have been switched, so let’s just say I’m begging you to help me get my child back, okay?”
“It’s a shame you didn’t become a writer.” Bowen Carter sneered.
Tess Baker was on the verge of a meltdown, forgetting that she was still in the car, and stood up so violently that her head hit the roof with a thud that hurt the corners of her eyes.
But she couldn’t even think about that, she just looked at Bowen Carter begrudgingly, “After all the years we’ve been together, can’t you just trust me for once?”
Her throat tightened and she paused for a moment before suppressing her sobs, “Even if you don’t believe me, you can let me do a paternity test with this dead child first. After it’s determined that he’s not my child, you can then go with me to find the child, is that okay?”
Bowen Carter looked into her reddened eyes and for a moment wanted to believe her, to say yes.
But then his mind wandered to the two times she’d revealed The Carter Group’s secrets for Dennis Gate, what the nurse and the doctor had said yesterday, and he pushed that impulse back down.
How dare he trust someone who could even be cruel to her own child?
“Bowen Carter, is it so hard to believe me for once?” Tess Baker’s eyes reddened and her heart soured to the core.
Bowen Carter grimaced, not bothering with her at all.
Tess Baker’s straight spine instantly softened, and she leaned back helplessly in her seat, her heart seemingly clogged with a large mass of lint, oppressive, uncomfortable, and on the verge of suffocating her.
She tilted her head at the door of the car, her eyes falling on the door handle, opening the door and jumping, not necessarily dying!
She straightened up and reached for the doorknob, but stopped when she was more than ten centimeters away, covering her face with her hands in despair.
Linda and the aunts and uncles were so good to her and Mike, how could she drag them down with her?
Bowen Carter ah Bowen Carter, does he really want to force her to die …
Taking in her series of movements, Bowen Carter’s taut, handsome face eased a bit. If she’d rather jump out of the car to get out, there was nothing he could do but stop.
Even after all the things she’d done to wrong him, he realized that he still couldn’t damn well let her go!
The car finally stopped in front of a small independent villa in the North Fourth Ring Road.
Bowen Carter got out of the car first, then opened the door and almost roughly yanked Tess Baker out and led her into the cottage.
The cottage was empty, with only the most basic furniture and not a hint of fireworks, so no one should usually live there.
The two men entered and a sound of wheels pressing across the floor and footsteps sounded simultaneously as Staphen Baker and THE Baker’s mother appeared before them.
Tess Baker’s pupils crinkled and she opened her mouth to say something, but her throat was so dry that not a word came out.
Didn’t Mom and her brother get sent to jail? How did they end up here? What does Bowen Carter mean by bringing her here?Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Brother-in-law, why did you bring this little bitch?” Staphen Baker’s face stank, “I haven’t eaten yet, and the sight of this little bitch gives me no appetite at all!”
The words ‘little bitch’ made Bowen Carter frown, but he said nothing.
THE BAKER’S MOTHER grunted with her arms wrapped around her chest with a smug look on her face, “And the little wild bastard tried to send me to jail, you think your family owns the jail and you can send me there whenever you want?”
Tess Baker’s fists clenched up tightly, her red lip long since bitten through.
She had such a bad relationship with her mom’s brother and Bowen Carter fished them out, he did it on purpose just to gross her out!
“You’ll be living here with them from now on.” Bowen Carter said coldly, grabbing his car keys and heading out the door.
Tess Baker yanked him from behind, took a deep breath, and dropped to her knees with a thud, her attitude humbled to the core, “I apologize for the wrong things I’ve done, but I really didn’t do this leak. Bowen Carter, I’m begging you to trust me one more time and let the … let me get the child, okay?”
She tilted her head to look at him and had choked up a little as she spoke.
She’s just trying to find her child. Why is it so hard?
Bowen Carter looked at her indifferently, broke her hand a little, and walked towards the door, his back determined and completely non-negotiable.
“Bowen Carter!” shouted Tess Baker towards his back, tears already streaming down her face as she yelled those three words, “Don’t make me hate you!!!”
Why would he stop her from finding her child when she doesn’t know where it is or if it’s safe?
Bowen Carter paused in his steps, but didn’t even look at her, just sneered and left. Hate him? Was she qualified to say the word hate after betraying him so many times?
Tess Baker watched his back disappear into the doorway with a bitter smile followed by a maniacal laugh.
Who would have thought that someone so determined would be the one who promised to spend the rest of his life with her the day before?
Promises were something she really couldn’t believe anymore!
“How dare you threaten your brother-in-law?” Staphen Baker spun his wheelchair around to her, the wheel running over her hand that was hanging on the floor, “Little bitch, you really think you’re so fucking serious!”
“Hiss!” Tess Baker sucked in a breath of cold air in pain, a layer of sweat breaking out on her head as she stood up with her hands on the ground, her eyes scarlet as she glared at Staphen Baker.
Staphen Baker hates it when people look down on her like that, he tilts his chin and glares back, “What are you looking at? Look again or I’ll gouge your eyes out … Ah, little bitch, you’re crazy!”
A pair of hands poked at his eyes, the nails even touching his eyeballs, and he closed his eyes in fear, turning his wheelchair backward.
