Chapter 480 – Grand Finale I
The silky sunlight poured over Bowen Carter, soft with a touch of romance, softening his cold features.
But Tess Baker’s face was bloodless and her body was shaking slightly.
“Marry me, okay?” Bowen Carter pressed his lips to the back of her neck right in the center and sucked heavily, leaving a dark red ambiguous mark that he loved to put his mark on her.
Tess Baker laughed sarcastically, “Do I have any choice but to agree to marry you?”
No!
He didn’t even leave her a way out!
Bowen Carter’s eyes flashed with despondency, but quickly returned to their normal state, “Pack up, go to breakfast, and after that we’ll go take wedding pictures.”
He let go of her manageable waist and pulled her outside, “I’ve already arranged for the photographer.”
Tess Baker followed him with downcast eyes and a sneer on her face.
He had arranged it all, and asking her if she would marry him was just a formality; he hadn’t even thought to ask for her opinion!
The two of them went downstairs to eat breakfast and took a car to a very famous wedding photo shooting hall in A city.
Tess Baker was sitting in her car, watching the bright sunshine through the tender green branches, but in a bad mood.
Is it really necessary to marry Bowen Carter again?
What if, after they’re married, someone else falsely accuses her and Bowen Carter believes it and wants to divorce her again? She’d be stuck with him for the rest of her life?
She didn’t want to live like this, but … could Frank Duke be counted on if she ran away?
Tess Baker shifted in her seat a few times, as if on pins and needles, her eyes full of struggle.
Frank Duke said he’d give her a month to think about it, and in a few days, the deadline will be up, and this is her only chance. But she can’t get a feel for the man, and her instincts tell her he’s dangerous.
“Still got a headache?” Bowen Carter’s cool voice suddenly rang in his ears.
“No.” Tess Baker jerked her head up and begged him for the first time in a while, “Bowen Carter, can I meet Moon Levis’ boyfriend before I go with you to the wedding pictures?”
Half an hour later, the Bentley stopped in front of a neighborhood in the second ring road.
The average price of a home in this neighborhood is around 200, 000, and based on that alone, Moon Levis’ boyfriend’s family is in pretty good shape.
Tess Baker got out of the car and walked with Bowen Carter toward Unit 6, the driver following them.
“Just wait in the car.” Tess Baker said.
The driver subconsciously looked to Bowen Carter and saw that he didn’t refuse before saying yes and getting back in the car.
Tess Baker and Bowen Carter got to the front of Unit 6. They were not residents here and couldn’t get in, so they pressed 1503.
A very gentle middle-aged woman’s voice soon sounded over there, “Which one?”
Tess Baker took a deep breath and said, “Hello, is this the Lufeng house? I’m Moon Levis’s friend …”
“My son is married and starting a new life! Tell that Moon Levis to leave my son alone, there’s no way my son is going to be with a dirty woman and murderer like her!!!” The woman interrupted her shrilly and simply hung up.
Tess Baker gave the closed cell door a stunned look, her fists clenching a little, unable to say whether she felt sorry for Moon Levis or some other emotion.
“Go.” Her voice was soft, and when she finished, she turned toward the car.
Bowen Carter frowned as he looked at her somewhat thin back and took a few quick steps to stand beside her, “If you’re upset on Moon Levis’ behalf, I can make Lu Feng pay accordingly.”
“What counts as a corresponding price?” Tess Baker didn’t even look at Bowen Carter, her voice full of exhaustion, “Bowen Carter, not everything is marked up like merchandise.”
There’s no accounting for how much who hurt whom or how much who wronged whom.
Just like she did with Bowen Carter, he hurt her, so what would be the appropriate price to pay? Make him suffer what she suffered?
It’s not necessary.
He stabbed her, she slashed him again, and he had a scar on him that she couldn’t get rid of.
Bowen Carter looked down at her, as close as he was to her, but as far away from each other as if they were worlds apart. His heart ached suddenly, and he reached for her.
But she didn’t know if she meant to or not, but she just happened to advance a few steps and his hand fell short.
Bowen Carter looked at the empty hand and his heart went a long way, like something was missing.
The two got into the car one after the other, neither one making a sound.
The driver had been playing with his cell phone, and when he saw this, he hurriedly put it away and asked carefully, “Master Carter, are we going to take wedding pictures now?”
Gee, Master Carter and Grandma Master Carter are in such a state that they are not fit for wedding photos, they look like strangers, no, like enemies!
“Uh-huh.” Bowen Carter answered, turning his head to Tess Baker.
Tess Baker sensed his indistinct gaze but did not turn back, instead staring blankly out the window.
Moon Levis even went to her boyfriend during her escape, so she should have loved her boyfriend, right? But the man she longed for didn’t even know she was dead and is now married to another woman and starting a new life.
What’s Moon Levis but a shitty ex-girlfriend in that man’s mouth!
Tess Baker licked her dry lips, what about her?
If Bowen Carter hadn’t stumbled upon the truth of those things, would he have married the fake Wendy Summer for the rest of his life and then brought her up in a bad light?
He didn’t trust her at all, and even if there hadn’t been a misunderstanding this time, what about next time? Will he stumble upon the truth next time? If the truth wasn’t discovered, what would happen to her?
Bowen Carter’s heart was bitter as he watched the pained expression on her face.
Is it so painful for her to be with him?
Thirty-five minutes later, the car pulled up in front of the wedding photography store.
Tess Baker got out of the car and went into the store to find that the little guy and Wind Carter were also here, and the little guy was wearing a little suit that was supposed to be with her and Bowen Carter for the wedding photos as well.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“Mommy!” Seeing her come in, the little one excitedly pounced on her and hugged her thigh.
Tess Baker crouched down, smiled a far-fetched smile, and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
“Sango, would it be convenient to lend a hand with this conversation?” Wind Carter’s mouth was tinged with a light smile like a spring breeze brushing a willow.
Bowen Carter didn’t say anything, just frowned in Tess Baker’s direction. She’d been a little off since yesterday, and he wasn’t too comfortable leaving her.
“It won’t take you long.” Wind Carter added in a gentle voice, “Something to do with your sister-in-law.”
Bowen Carter was about to say no, but nodded when he heard the last sentence, “Ten minutes.”
“I try.” Wind Carter laughed.
Bowen Carter frowned for a few moments, his gaze falling back to Tess Baker.
Wind Carter, “Cable and several other store employees are here, so your sister-in-law can’t lose it.”
“Go out and talk.” Bowen Carter then withdrew his gaze and turned to walk out, while Wind Carter followed him after a wink to the little one.
