Spoil Me More, Dear Huaband

Linda Mark glared at Daniel, “If you’re told to give it, you give it!”

The latter gave an oh-so-reluctant grunt and rummaged through it, pulling out a couple of food items and shoving them into Bowen Carter’s arms, muttering something under his breath.

Such a poor-talking, stalking Linda Daniel was so much like the old Cliff Ford that Tess Baker frowned and opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing.

Linda Mark, her eyes red and not in the best of spirits, didn’t stay long before leaving with Daniel.

Tess Baker wouldn’t leave until 8 p. m., wanting to stay at the hospital with the little group.

“If you don’t go back today, you won’t be able to visit her ever again.” Bowen Carter said with a cold handsome face. She had just gotten out of her month and wasn’t very well, so she definitely wouldn’t rest well if she stayed in the hospital.

Hearing this, Tess Baker’s brow furrowed, “Bowen Carter, I’ll stay here for the night.”

She didn’t want her daughter to be alone in the hospital.

Bowen Carter didn’t make a sound this time, just looked at her with a cool gaze.

Tess Baker locked eyes with him, her fists clenching a little, and after a few moments, she averted her gaze first, glancing in the direction of the little group and forcing herself away.

The two drove back to Beauty Garden, Tess Baker didn’t say a word on the way, and when the car stopped she got out and headed for the villa, paying no attention to Bowen Carter behind her.

“Tess, you guys are back?” Aunt Zhang greeted her, “Wait a moment, I’ll heat up the food.”

“No need to heat up my share, I don’t have the stomach for it.” Tess Baker went straight up the stairs, the clatter of her heels touching the floor making the villa seem empty and unpopular.

Aunt Zhang was trying to persuade her to eat some dinner, less would be fine, but before she could say anything, she had already turned the corner and was out of sight.

“Sir, then wait a moment while I heat up the food.” Aunt Zhang turned her head and said to Bowen Carter.

Bowen Carter said no more and followed Tess Baker up the stairs.

Tess Baker entered the room, feeling so oppressed in her mind that she could hardly breathe, she went to the window and opened it. The cold wind blew in her face and she couldn’t help but shiver, but she felt better.

“Don’t you know you can’t blow in the wind?!” Bowen Carter grimaced and sauntered over to her and banged the window shut.

Can’t she value her body?

Tess Baker turned and leaned against the wall looking at Bowen Carter with a tired brow, “Interesting, Bowen Carter?”

Bowen Carter frowned slightly, not making a sound.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Tess Baker, “Bowen Carter, you’ve consumed all the love I have for you, and it’s for the best that I don’t hate you in my life. Is it fun to hold me prisoner like this anymore?”

Nine years they’ve been torturing each other. Why can’t they leave each other alone?

If she was as decisive as Linda was with Cliff Ford, wouldn’t she have started a new life long ago?

“… I won’t imprison you, you can go wherever you want.” After a moment, Bowen Carter avoided her gaze and said in a somewhat low voice.

Tess Baker laughed to herself, “Is it possible in your mind that if you can get out, it’s not called captivity?”

She has to ask his permission to go anywhere, and even if he does, there’s a bodyguard or he’s spying on her, so does that not count as captivity?

“It’s getting late, so wash up.” Bowen Carter’s fists clenched unconsciously, and before she could say anything, he stepped into the bathroom as if he’d fled.

A nightmare.

Tess Baker opened her eyes just as Bowen Carter’s met hers.

The sky was already bright, and the sunlight sprinkled on his body through the curtains, making his always cold and hard temperament a little bit more soft, and his features looked more and more delicate and handsome.

And right now, he was sitting on the edge of the bed looking right at her, his pupils reflecting only her figure in a soft light.

Seeing her wake up, Bowen Carter averted his gaze for a few unnatural moments and stood up.

Tess Baker rubbed her brow, which was sore from lack of sleep, and sat up with her hands propped up on the bed, “Don’t ever look at me in my sleep again, I get nightmares.”

“What nightmare?” Bowen Carter asked, wrinkling his nose.

Tess Baker looked up at him and taunted, “Calling my daughter a feral, not letting me see my daughter … whichever you do is a nightmare for me.”

The blood drained from Bowen Carter’s handsome face.

He knew he’d hurt her too much, just hearing her say it still made his heart ache and choke.

“Don’t make that regretful face in front of me, I’ll feel sick.” Tess Baker snorted and got up to get dressed.

If he really regretted hurting her, he wouldn’t have continued to imprison her!

The two of them went downstairs for breakfast and ate with nothing but the sound of clinking cutlery and a few inaudible breaths.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was particularly depressing.

Aunt Zhang had originally planned to stay for a few more years, but after watching Mr. Zhang and Tess fight all day long, she couldn’t feel any better. She decided to find a suitable opportunity to quit her job and go back to her hometown in a month or two.

“You’re coming out with me.” Bowen Carter snapped as he finished eating.

Tess Baker gave him a look and stood up, looking faint as she put on her coat and headed outside.

When she got in, Bowen Carter closed the door, then went around to the other side of the car and instructed the driver to drive.

Neither man looked too good, and the driver silently put away the smile on his face, swallowed the good morning that had reached his throat, and turned off the music.

The car started and in no time it merged into traffic.

Cars were coming and going and it looked like they were watching the action, but it was quiet in the car, so quiet that it was embarrassing.

The driver’s whole body goosebumps rose, forcibly enlivening the atmosphere, “Master Carter, Master Carter grandma, the place we go this time is quite remote ah, ha, hahaha …”

A sardonic laugh.

No one paid any attention to him.

He probably felt embarrassed too and shut up without making another sound.

Tess Baker’s eyes flashed, going to a pretty remote place? Where was Bowen Carter taking him?

“Why don’t you ask where you’re going?” Bowen Carter inclined his head at Tess Baker, a flash of heartache in his eyes as they touched her thin chin.

She’s lost too much weight in this time.

Without answering, Tess Baker asked, “Ask or not, I have to go, don’t I?”

Anyway, he was used to being overbearing and never consulted her on things, and she had gotten used to it a long time ago.

Silence.

It took a moment before Bowen Carter said, “You won’t regret coming over.”

Tess Baker sneered, did he think he knew her well?

The car traveled for over an hour into the countryside. While passing through a peach grove, Tess Baker met a group of young men and women picnicking in the countryside, and one of the figures was somewhat familiar.

The man seemed to notice her gaze and inclined his head, a smile still on his sweet face.

–is Puppy White.

The two locked eyes and Puppy White smiled and nodded at her before moving away and wrapping her arm around a handsome man and laughing about something in an intimate gesture.

The handsome man glanced in the direction of the car, frowned, and pulled Puppy White away.

Tess Baker didn’t care who the man next to Puppy White was, and only looked away for a few seconds before looking ahead.

Already almost out of the peach blossom forest, in front of a concrete road, on both sides of a lot of two-story cottages and bungalows.
