Spoil Me More, Dear Huaband

Second floor.

Duh–

Duh–

Tess Baker had just put her cell phone down when someone called. She glanced at the caller ID, there were no notes, but she remembered it was Frank Duke’s number.

She licked her lips, her finger hovering above the red hang-up button, but finally pressed connect without speaking.

“How’s Grandma Master Carter considering it? Do you need my help?” Frank Duke’s gorgeous, loving tone seemed to be speaking the most charming words of love.

Tess Baker walked to the door of the room and opened it to make sure no one was there before she whispered, “I don’t believe you.”

She wasn’t sure if there was a relationship between Frank Duke and the fake Wendy Summer, or if he was helping her for another purpose or not.

A low chuckle escaped Frank Duke’s throat as if he had heard some kind of joke, “Since Grandma Master Carter answered my call, that means you’re still interested in my offer, doesn’t it?”

Tess Baker gave a lurch, dumbfounded.

He was right, she wouldn’t have taken his call at all if she wasn’t interested in his offer.

Frank Duke, “It’s normal for Grandma Master Carter to be apprehensive; if I were you, I’d be skeptical if someone unrelated suddenly offered to help me.”

He paused for a moment before continuing, “But there’s no way for me to prove that I’m not related to the fake Wendy Summer, and even if I did produce the evidence, I’m afraid you’d still suspect that I faked those evidences.”

Tess Baker couldn’t deny that he’d said it all to her heart.

“Tell you what,” said Frank Duke, “I’ll give you a month to think about it, and if you decide to run away, I can help you.”

“Good.” Tess Baker hung up the phone, her heart poofing fast.

Would she live the rest of her life easier if she did manage to escape?

…

More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Fake Wendy Summer escaped and was never heard from again, and Tess Baker didn’t spill the beans about Frank Duke helping fake Wendy Summer escape.

Bowen Carter has been working in the Beauty Garden office, and regularly sends ninety-nine white roses to Tess Baker every day, often cooks her favorite dishes, and puts a projector in one of the rooms just for her convenience to watch movies …

He played with his specially learned romance in different ways, but she always looked faint and never showed any emotion of the happy kind.

Aunt Zhang sighed as she watched. If Mr. Tess had been treated so well by Mr. Zhang before, they would not have become like this!

After breakfast.

“I’m going to the hospital.” Tess Baker demanded this for I don’t know how many times.

She was hung up on her daughter and mentioned many times that she wanted to go to the hospital, but was denied by Bowen Carter. He even said something earlier about her going wherever she wanted, meh, but it’s just nice talk!

Bowen Carter saw the crumbs of the fried egg in the corner of her mouth, grabbed a Kleenex, and stood up to try to wipe it off for her.

But Tess Baker inclined her head to avoid it, only to say in a low voice, “Bowen Carter, are you going to keep me from seeing my daughter for the rest of my life?”

It’s been almost a month since the baby was born and she’s only spent less than an hour with the baby, and it’s pathetic that it’s so hard to even see her daughter once these days.

She clenched her fists, anger and sadness filling her eyes.

“Put on your coat and I’ll walk you there.” A flicker of loss flashed in Bowen Carter’s eyes as he came around to the other side and gently wiped the corner of her mouth.

The doctor said she was much better and now that she was out of her monthly period, she had no problem getting out and about.

Tess Baker didn’t expect him to say yes, and she scuffed to her feet, making a sharp, piercing jabbing sound as her chair scraped against the floor from the sheer swiftness of her movement.

“That’s what you promised me.” Afraid he would back out, she twisted her head and ran upstairs to get her coat.

Bowen Carter took a few quick steps and tugged her from behind, “I’ve got it down, let’s go.”

She’d been talking about going to the hospital all these days, and he’d planned to take her there today.

He pulled her into the hall, took her coat from the couch and put it on her, and put a hat on her so she wouldn’t get winded.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

In fact, it was almost April, and the weather was still warm enough that there was no need to wear a hat. But Tess Baker had no intention of arguing with him over such trivial matters; she just wanted to see her daughter!

The two drove, all the way to the hospital.

Before the car had even stopped, Tess Baker hurriedly pushed open the door and got out, running toward the hospital.

Bowen Carter pulled out his car keys quickly and followed her, saying with a few moments of annoyance, “Getting out of the car before it’s parked, are you crazy?”

Does she know it’s dangerous?

“Yeah, it’s been driving you crazy for a long time, you realize that?” Tess Baker shook off his hand and sneered.

Bowen Carter looked at her hate-filled gaze and an indescribable despondency flashed across his angular, handsome face. He retook her hand and walked towards the elevator, “Next time don’t do anything like that.”

He’ll be worried.

“Or what?” Tess Baker’s eyes were filled with sarcasm, “Want to use THE Mark Family or want to threaten me with my son and daughter?”

Bowen Carter’s heart choked and he stopped, his dark eyes looking at her wordlessly, carrying so much in it, so much that she couldn’t read it and didn’t want to.

“It should be with THE Mark Family, after all, you like to bankrupt people so much.” Tess Baker looked away, avoiding his gaze.

People came and went in the hospital, but the atmosphere between the two was so odd that many people walked around them.

“Come on, she’s on the ninth floor, and the doctor said the treatment is working okay.” Bowen Carter pulled her along and waited in line for the elevator.

Once inside the elevator, even though he hated the touch of others, he shielded her in his arms and frowned as he endured the crowded elevator.

The two stood at the entrance to the elevator, the doors shining like mirrors on Bowen Carter’s less-than-ideal face.

Tess Baker could see it clearly, and something shifted in her heart so suddenly she couldn’t tell what was changing.

Ding!

Ninth floor arrival.

The two got off the elevator together.

“Master Carter, Grandma Master Carter, please follow me.” The nurse stood just outside the elevator, a few flashes of amazement in her eyes at the sight of the two before leading the way.

Before she arrived at the hospital, Tess Baker wanted to see her daughter every second, but now that she’s actually at the door of the hospital room, she’s afraid to go in.

Bowen Carter stopped afterward and looked down at her.

“How is she … doing now?” Tess Baker turned her head to ask the nurse, her heart in her throat.

The nurse smiled and said, “Miss is much better.”

Hearing this, Tess Baker relaxed a bit, but was still nervous. She took a deep breath before gently pushing open the door to the hospital room.

The baby lay in the hospital bed, a tiny little mass, but already much bigger than a month ago, and looking a lot whiter and less wrinkled.

She was asleep at the moment, probably because it was hard, her little brow was furrowed and she looked a little pained.

Tess Baker walked over to the bed and watched the scene, tears bubbling uncontrollably out of the corners of her eyes. She wanted to touch her, but for fear of hurting her, her hand reached halfway and retracted.

“Don’t worry, in a little while she’ll be healed.” Bowen Carter would be heartbroken to see her in tears.

“Don’t worry?” Tess Baker turned her head to look at him, tears still glistening in the bottom of her eyes, but the ends of her eyes were tinted with a crazy scarlet, “If it wasn’t for you, my daughter wouldn’t even have to suffer like this!”

She lowered her voice, her throat hoarse and hard to hear.
