Chapter 450 – Only Makes Relationships Worse
Aunt Zhang looked staggered, the old man, this man went to the front line and fought in the war, and after the war is over and long in high position, the most overbearing, actually would listen to the young master, really the sun hit the west side of the rise!
“Little Zhang ah, I have something to say to Tess and Mike, you take Cable to play for a while first.” Elder Carter looked at Tess Baker, his smiling face changing to that majestic look again.
Aunt Zhang answered and went to pull the little one.
“I’m not leaving!” The little guy clung to Tess Baker’s thigh and wouldn’t let go; if he left, who would protect Mommy?
Seeing this, Master Carter’s face didn’t look too good.
“Mike listen, you go ahead and hang out with Aunt Zhang for a while.” Tess Baker coaxed warmly.
The less Mike got involved in all this shit she was going through, the better.
The little one wanted to refuse, but when he met her gaze, he finally nodded reluctantly and went upstairs three steps at a time.
Only after he turned the corner and was out of sight did Master Carter say with a stern face, “Don’t stand around either, you two, sit down.”
Tess Baker sat down silently while Bowen Carter sat beside her, intentionally blocking the older man’s view of her.
His actions displeased Master Carter, but he pretended not to know, and didn’t move under the warning glare of the old man.
The grandfather and grandson did not move to compete for a moment, but it was the old man who averted his gaze first.
“Mike called me here today to talk to you about please one thing.” Master Carter naturally moved down to where he could get a good look at Tess Baker’s facial expression.
But Tess Baker had her head down, and it was impossible to read her expression or know what she was thinking.
Bowen Carter’s brow wrinkled slightly as he inclined his head: he was already sitting on the end of the couch and couldn’t move any further.
“This is Attorney Zhang, I’m sure you know.” Elder Carter continued.
Tess Baker nodded, not saying a word.
Instead, Lawyer Zhang stepped forward and gently explained, “Because of some misunderstandings, there were some offenses that day, I hope Grandma Master Carter will forgive me.”
“I’m already divorced from Bowen Carter and can’t afford this Grandma Master Carter.” Tess Baker looked pale, “As for seeing … how about I send Attorney Zhang to the human prisoner for a day, you see if you can see to me?”
The smile on Counselor Zhang’s face froze for a moment, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of Elder Carter, with the slightest bit of trepidation in the bottom of his eyes.
Elder Carter’s eyes flashed with a flash of surprise and anger, and his grip on the cane became a little stronger as it left the ground and then was pressed back down to the ground alive.
“But with Attorney Zhang’s image today, you can’t practically feel what I feel.”
Lawyer Zhang smiled sardonically and wiped the sweat from his head, “I’m sorry for the pain I caused Master Carter’s grandmother, I’m sorry.”
He bent down and bowed ninety degrees.
The attitude is sincere.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Tess Baker, however, was not at all impressed, and if Carter Senior and Bowen Carter had not been there, this lawyer Chang might not have apologized to her.
And what’s the point of apologizing when the damage has already been done?
Ta-da.
Elder Carter tapped his cane on the ground and waited for Tess Baker’s attention to fall back on him before he continued, “It was my arrangement for Attorney Zhang to send you to prison under Mike’s name, I don’t want Mike to be ruined in your hands, do you understand?”
Tess Baker is silent.
Didn’t Bowen Carter ruin her?
Bowen Carter pursed her lips, craned her head to look at Tess Baker, and shifted in small increments, realizing for the first time what it meant to be on pins and needles.
He had gotten Grandpa to come over so that he could explain to Tess Baker about the prison so that he could ease the relationship between them.
But Grandpa’s explanation like that only made things worse between them!
“I’m a little biased against you because of some misunderstandings, but that’s also because you made a mistake in the first place. If it wasn’t for the matter of you putting a bug in the office for THE Gate family kid, Mike and I would never have misunderstood you!” Elder Carter said in a neutral tone.
Tess Baker was breathing slightly more sharply than usual, her fists clenched so hard that her bones were white.
Still, she said nothing.
“Grandpa,” Bowen Carter said with a frown, “It’s my fault I misunderstood Tess Baker, no need to make other excuses. What you need to do has been done and you can go now.”
He got up to help Master Carter.
“Sit down!” Elder Carter picked up his cane and tapped him on the back of the hand, his eyes flicked from him to Tess Baker, “Since those were all misunderstandings, make a good life with Mike and pick a time to get your marriage license again.”
Tess Baker clenched her red lips, blood creeping up into her eyes a little, anger rushing through her heart, and it took all of her strength to suppress the resentment that was churning at the bottom of her heart.
“Why don’t you say anything? Is this your attitude towards your elders?” Elder Carter didn’t get a response for half a day of talking, and his violent temper came up all of a sudden.
Bowen Carter’s eyes flashed and he was about to speak when Tess Baker beat him to it, “Attitude? What kind of attitude do you want from me? To respectfully tell you, ‘Okay Grandpa, it’s an honor to have you and Bowen Carter forgive me, and we’ll have a good life from now on’?”
She snapped her head up, her eyes streaked with blood, as if she were a frenzied beast.
Bowen Carter looked at her, and his heart seemed to have been sliced into thin, tender slices of meat, and then a million pins were stuck in the slices. It was indescribably hard to describe the pain.
He stepped forward, subconsciously wanting to hug her and take her into his arms for comfort.
But no sooner had he touched Tess Baker’s body than she pushed him away in disgust, “Don’t touch me! Do you realize that every time you touch me you make me sick?”
Bowen Carter’s heart clenched together at the look she gave him, “I …”
“Heh!” Tess Baker interrupted with a sneer, “You used to call me dirty and say you didn’t want to touch me, how clean do you think you are?”
“At the very least I only have you as a man, don’t you? Is that your child that Wendy Summer is carrying in her belly? You don’t know, do you, every time I’m with you, I get so sick I want to throw up!”
She’s so mad that she’s going to be driven mad by them!
Why should she alone bear the fault whether it is his or hers?
Bowen Carter’s handsome face abruptly paled, he knew she held a grudge against him and hated him, but to actually hear her say that she hated his touch and was even nauseous and wanted to vomit, he still felt a blockage in his heart and couldn’t even breathe.
“And you,” Tess Baker said, turning to Carter, letting out her long pent-up depression, anger, and resentment, “do you think that all of you in the Carter family are superior and everyone else is inferior? ”
Master Carter and Tess Baker had also gone toe-to-toe, but at the time it was just a bit of an exchange of words, far from this frontal outburst of conflict, and he froze for a moment.
