Chapter 479 Will she really be happy marrying him?
“Why?” The woman laughed a little, but not a hint of a smile, “Maybe because Moon Levis has been so tragic in his life that a murderer like me feels sympathy.”
She yawned and turned toward her room.
But when she reached the door, she stopped, her voice soft, “Grandma Master Carter right? Moon Levis ruined her life on men, don’t make the same mistake. It’s easy to change a river, but you can’t change your nature.”
Is Moon Levis the only one who ruined her life for men?
No, her too.
After saying that, she didn’t stay any longer and was grabbed by two prison guards, one on each side, and went back to her room.
The door banged shut, shaking Tess Baker to her core.
Moon Levis’ boyfriend didn’t believe Moon Levis the first time, and didn’t believe Moon Levis the second time, any different than Bowen Carter not believing her?
Moon Levis finally died and took her own life; was she going to taste despair in Bowen Carter and end her life, too?
Or does she survive for her children and then muddle through her life in Bowen Carter’s captivity?
Bowen Carter said something else to the warden, and she didn’t hear a word of it. He pulled her outside and she didn’t even look at the road, her mind a mess.
“Master Carter Grandma look out!” The driver suddenly shouted.
Without waiting for Tess Baker to react, Bowen Carter ran over to her at a fast pace and scooped her up in his arms as she was about to fall. She looked back up and realized she had come out with them and was going down the steps.
She frowned and pushed past Bowen Carter, walking with both eyes blankly to the Bentley, pulling open the door and getting in.
The woman in prison was right, rivers change, Bowen Carter was paranoid by nature, this time their misunderstanding was gone, so what if there was a next time?
How many more misunderstandings could she take from him?
If she couldn’t take it, and she jumped from the stairs, would her life be the tragedy that the woman in prison had talked about?
Tess Baker suddenly felt sad that she was the only one who had some good experiences when she was Wendy Summer, but it just so happened that that memory had vanished into thin air because of the car accident.
And her existing memories are either of her mom’s brother’s torture or Bowen Carter’s cynical … meh!
“I’ll arrange for someone to explain to Moon Levis’ boyfriend.” Bowen Carter said in a hushed voice, thinking she was sad about Moon Levis.
Tess Baker didn’t even hear what he said, her mind was a jumbled mess, and she just gave a careless hmmm.
When she got back to Beauty Garden, she didn’t even eat dinner and went straight upstairs.
She hadn’t eaten, and Bowen Carter wasn’t in the mood to eat, following her up the stairs.
She stood by the window and didn’t say anything, just kept looking out the window, not knowing what she was thinking. And Bowen Carter had been standing behind her, staring fixedly at her back.
The two stood like that for over an hour, the distance between them always giving Bowen Carter the feeling that he couldn’t get close to her.
He disliked the feeling and frowned, taking two steps forward.
Tess Baker suddenly turned to look at him and asked softly, “Bowen Carter, will you let me go?”
Bowen Carter’s pupils crinkled and the cells in his body tightened together, and he didn’t speak for a long time.
“Heh, I’m a fool to ask a question like that.” Tess Baker smiled to herself and turned her head back around, looking out the window in silence.
There was really nothing to see outside the window with the lights flickering and the trees lurking, and she’d been looking at it for over an hour.
Bowen Carter looked at her back and felt panicked for no reason, he tried to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, “It’s getting late, take a shower and go to bed.”
“I don’t feel like washing today, so you go ahead and do it.” Tess Baker spoke to him in a rare moment of peace.
But it was this peace of mind that made Bowen Carter more and more uneasy, and he stepped forward, hugging her from behind, his chin resting on her shoulder.
This time she didn’t struggle or refuse, it was as if she didn’t notice.
She was already in Bowen Carter’s arms, but he still didn’t feel safe, and he tightened his hand on her waist, his cool voice tinged with imperceptible begging, “Tess Baker, I’ll give you anything you want.” As long as you don’t leave me.
“I want freedom, do you give it?” When she said this, Tess Baker didn’t stab him like she usually did, it was more like she was talking to herself.
Bowen Carter didn’t make a sound, just inclined his head and his cool lips landed on her warm earlobe, then slid down her earlobe and all the way up her long, white neck.
“I’m tired.” Goosebumps rose on Tess Baker’s body the moment her lips made contact with her neck. She gently pushed him away and slid her slippers down on the bed, closing her eyes.
Bowen Carter had never slept without a shower, but he fought through the discomfort that not showering induced and laid right down on the bed, hugging her from behind.
–he was afraid he’d go into the shower and when he came out she’d be gone.
He didn’t know why the thought had popped up, but it had popped up and couldn’t be suppressed any longer, weighing heavily on his mind and giving him a pang of panic.
Tess Baker’s eyes were closed, but not asleep.
She wants to get away from Bowen Carter, but she doesn’t want to turn to Frank Duke for help. Linda once told her that Frank Duke was a man with a deep heart and that it would be best not to get too involved, and she also feels that there is something dangerous about the man.
But without asking him for help, the chances of her being able to escape are zero …
Tess Baker didn’t fall asleep until the latter part of the night and was having nightmares.
When she opened her eyes, Bowen Carter followed suit and asked, “Another nightmare?”
Tess Baker nodded casually and pressed her aching brow, a little headache from not resting.
A flicker of guilt flashed under Bowen Carter’s eyes as he pulled down the hand she had pressed on her brow, then helped her press on her temples twice, and several other points on her head.
“Any better?” He asked.
Tess Baker hesitated and hmmmed. She didn’t want him to touch her, but she did feel less uncomfortable when he pressed like that.
“Tess Baker, let’s go take wedding pictures today.” Bowen Carter said suddenly.
Tess Baker’s nerves, which had relaxed somewhat from the massage, tensed up all at once and didn’t say a word.
“After the wedding pictures, get the license, order the dress, and we’ll get married on May 1st.” Bowen Carter has always wanted to make up for the fact that he gave her a big wedding and wanted everyone to know that Tess Baker is his girl.
Tess Baker’s voice was shaking, “May Day?”
It’s April now, just a month before May 1st.
She used to want to have a decent wedding like a normal woman, not just a marriage license for nine bucks, but at this point, hearing Bowen Carter offer to do a wedding left her with nothing but panic.
He marries when he says he will, divorces when he says he will, treats her well when he wants to, treats her badly when he wants to, and does whatever he says he will.
Would she really be happy marrying someone like that?
“Uh-huh.” Bowen Carter sat behind her, not seeing the hard look on her face, his eyes tinted with almost overflowing tenderness, “You decide the style of the wedding, the style of the dresses, and you can let whoever you want to be a bridesmaid, and invite whoever you want to attend.”
It’s all up to her, as long as she’s happy.
