Chapter 433 – The Paternity Test Results Are Out
Bowen Carter walks into the president’s office with a grimace and slams the door shut with a thud, narrowly missing ASSISTANT’s nose. assistant ducks back and reopens the door with a heartbeat.
Bowen Carter stood with his back to the door, his slender back looking particularly forlorn.
ASSISTANT deliberated for half a day and didn’t know how to comfort people, only guilt swept through his heart. It wasn’t the lady who leaked the secret, but he misunderstood the lady as much as the president did, and even blamed her harshly for it.
Duh–
Duh–
The phone vibrated for half a day, but the owner of the phone didn’t move a muscle, just looked down at the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.
The atmosphere in the office was oppressive to the extreme, so clogged that one could hardly breathe.
“President, your cell phone is ringing.” ASSISTANT warned in a low voice.
Bowen Carter, as if he’d only just then heard his cell phone vibrate, picked it up, didn’t even glance at the caller ID, turned it off, and tossed it aside on the couch.
assistant regrets coming in, the president is in a bad mood, he shouldn’t have followed him in …
“Do you think,” Bowen Carter said slowly, “that she’ll hate me?”
ASSISTANT opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say in response.
He hadn’t spent much time with madam, and with his understanding of madam, she would definitely hate the president. But ‘hate’ was obviously not the answer the president wanted.
“The second leak was not done by madam, but she did put a wire in your office, and the child that was just born is not yours, you … don’t have to feel guilty.” ASSISTANT said with a half-hearted hesitation.
Bowen Carter looked up out the window, his dark eyes seemingly a bottomless abyss.
ASSISTANT stood in the doorway, a layer of sweat already forming on his hands, and once again he regretted that he had rushed to follow him in, so much so that he was in a dilemma at the moment.
Duh–
Duh–
The vibrating cell phone in his pants pocket became assistant’s saving grace, he grabbed the buzzing phone, “President, I’m going out to take a call.”
Bowen Carter ignored him and just looked out the window out of his mind.
The window seemed to turn into a weeping Tess Baker, who looked at him with reddened eyes and cried out in despair, “Why don’t you believe me? Is it so hard to believe me for once?”
His throat was uncomfortably dry and itchy, and he wanted to reach out and wipe the tears from her face, but by the time he reached out, he was only touching invisible air.
ASSISTANT put his cell phone on silent and silently went out, then closed the door behind him.
Bowen Carter closed his eyes and his mind was all about Tess Baker, crying, sneering, relentless, begging … His heart seemed to be stuffed with a ball of soaked cotton, clogged, uncomfortable.
She didn’t lie to him, but he didn’t trust her.
Knock knock!
ASSISTANT knocked on the door and walked in, the cell phone clutched tightly in his hand already wet with sweat.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
He looked at the emotionally depressed Bowen Carter and said stiffly, “President, the old master just called and said that the child with sepsis in the hospital is indeed your daughter. The old master specifically explained that you are not allowed to touch this child.”
The president let slip that he would never let go of the ‘wild seed born to Mrs. and Dennis Gate’.
“!” Bowen Carter’s pupils crinkled, even his breathing became a little more rapid. He turned around, striding over to ASSISTANT’s side, grabbing ASSISTANT’s shoulders tightly with both hands, his voice couldn’t stop trembling, “What did you … you say?”
“The old master said that he has already done a paternity test, confirming that the baby with sepsis in the hospital is the daughter of you and madam. The old master also specifically explained that you are not allowed to touch this child, or he will not forgive you lightly.” ASSISTANT said as he endured the intense pain in his shoulder.
Bang!
Bowen Carter let go of the ASSISTANT and staggered back two steps, dropping back onto the couch with his eyes dulled, the words Tess Baker had once spoken echoing in his ears–
“Bowen Carter, why don’t you believe me?”
“Our child is not dead, this dead baby is not our child, will you help me find the child together?”
“I’m begging you, please save our child, he’s nowhere to be found!”
“That really is our baby, I’m not lying to you!”
“If you don’t believe me, you can find that child and get another paternity test, I’m definitely not lying to you!”
Tess Baker grabbed his arm and begged for mercy, even got down on her knees and begged him for help, but what did he do? He didn’t believe her, he taunted her, and he imprisoned her, calling their child a bastard …
Bowen Carter’s eyes were red and his right hand was formed into a fist, a heavy thump against a chest that was too suppressed to breathe.
He was the first person to doubt her, to deny her, to stand in her way when she needed trust and support the most!
How desperate should … she be at that time?
“… President, calm down.” ASSISTANT really didn’t know how to comfort Bowen Carter, and in the end, he could only speak dryly, his face a hot mess.
At that time, when he went to the hospital to investigate and found that those little nurses looked abnormal, he should have kept an extra eye out and investigated properly, then things wouldn’t have gotten so bad.
But it’s too late to say anything now, the one who is most hurt is the lady, even if she pulls out the nails poking at her heart, it will still leave scars, and these scars may stay for the rest of her life.
Bowen Carter’s handsome face was pale as he sat on the sofa, his body trembling slightly at this moment, the man who had always strategized.
He’d always thought he’d given enough to Tess Baker, but it wasn’t until just now that he’d realized he’d given her so little trust that it was close to zero.
All he could recall from his marriage nine years ago to now, after the divorce, was the hurt he had done to her.
Obviously, after that plane crash six years ago, he had resolved to hold her in his heart and treat her well once he could meet her again, but why had things turned out the way they were today?
Does Tess Baker hate him? Is it true that she will never forgive him again for the rest of her life?
Bowen Carter’s heart seemed to be gripped by a million hands, and it hurt so bad that he pounded his chest one at a time as panic gripped his entire body.
What if Tess Baker comes down hard this time and she doesn’t come back even if he blackmails her with THE Mark Family?
What if she disappeared without a trace, like she did six years ago, and he couldn’t find her even if he turned the place upside down?
Bowen Carter’s heart crumpled hard and he just felt his head spin, “Find Tess Baker, whatever it takes, find her!”
She was his, for the rest of his life, and he wouldn’t allow anyone to take her away from him!
He owed her so much, it would take a lifetime to make it up to her, to beg for her forgiveness!
“President,” Bowen Carter looked so crazy to see assistant’s scalp numb, but he still said stiffly, “Madam doesn’t like to be threatened, are you giving a different way to find Madam?”
Madam was misunderstood so deeply, if she was threatened to come back, she would surely hate the president even more.
“I said whatever it takes, can you hear me?!” Bowen Carter’s raspy voice was laced with repression, like that of a frenzied beast.
Even if Tess Baker was angry, he was going to use this method because he knew that if he didn’t push her, he feared she would never come back to him in her life.
