Chapter 22 He’s liked her for years
Tess Baker sat down with Dennis Gate, called the waiter, and ordered two more sets of cutlery.
“Tess Baker, look at you!” Linda Mark blamed, “teaching her son all day to save food, and then you ordered a table for yourself and ran away before you could eat!”
Tess Baker should be condemned for wasting the opportunity to spend time alone with her senior!
Tess Baker smiled, two eyes curved, “I didn’t ask the waiter to serve the food, so nothing was wasted.”
Linda Mark’s face was as ugly as constipation, “…”
Who the hell cares if you waste food?
Sitting on the sidelines, Dennis Gate watched the two stare at each other and laughed softly. Tess Baker hasn’t changed much in five years!
“Ahem!” Tess Baker was embarrassed by the laugh, then remembered that the senior was still next to him, “Senior, I forgot to ask you when I came out just now, do you eat crawfish?”
“Definitely not! I’ve been abroad for five years, I’m used to eating western food, who likes crawfish as much as you?” Linda Mark is in a bad mood and dislikes people like to fly.
Tess Baker was a bit torn.
The most important thing to invite the senior to dinner is to eat what senior likes! So now what … to change another store?
“Five years abroad, all day to see everyone’s ins, which shows you like to eat crawfish and I have many times dreamed of trying once. Eat Western food all day long, eating is really some tired.” Dennis Gate spoke up at the right time to ease her embarrassment.
Linda Mark heard that, the two of them are more determined to match up!
The good-looking, well-educated and considerate man is much better than the overbearing, rude and threatening Bowen Carter!
The crawfish at this restaurant is very good, a meal was very pleasant.
The little one ate a lot of crawfish peeled by Dennis Gate and was very satisfied with this backup daddy. If not for the fear of scolding his own mommy, he would like to hug his thighs and shout daddy!
“The little one is sleepy, I’ll send him back to bed first!” After leaving the door, Linda Mark began to think of ways to create opportunities for the two to be alone again.
Tess Baker tossed her bangs behind her ears, “I’m coming back with you.”
“Back to hell! It’s still early, and the senior just came back from abroad, so you should go around with him!” Linda Mark gave Dennis Gate a cheering look and ran off with the little one in her arms.
Tess Baker looked at her ten centimeter high heels and was a little worried that the heels would break.
“Linda Mark’s still got the same nature as before.” Dennis Gate looked down at her, the hazy light spilling over her face, making her already magnificent features as stunningly beautiful as the first time he saw her.
Tess Baker smiled, “Yeah, she’s always been like that! She’s twenty-eight years old and still acts like an eighteen year old!”
“You’re the same, haven’t changed a bit, just as pretty as ever.” Dennis Gate’s face was soft and his voice was exceptionally nice.
Five years ago when he first met her, she was already Master Carter’s woman, and he could only stand beside her as a senior.
And five years later … he had his chance.
“Seniors are more handsome than ever!” Tess Baker snorted, not daring to look him in the eye, “Why don’t we go for a walk in the park next door?”
“All yours.” He replied full of doting.
The two went to the park together, Tess Baker pointed out the facilities and greenery in the park, talking about the changes in the past few years.
Dennis Gate answered every now and then, but his mind was not on these, “In fact, five years ago I suddenly left the country, not too hasty to inform you.”
The misty night and the faint perfume of her body made his heart sink a little, some long-suppressed emotions came out.
“Hmm?” Tess Baker looked up at him, wondering why he suddenly came to such a sentence.
Dennis Gate took a few steps forward and stopped in front of her, full of love but with a bit of timidity when he met her eyes, “There are times when leaving is just a way to escape.”
He was afraid that he would become a third party who interfered, so he chose to escape.
Fearing that he would not be able to leave the country if he saw her, he was only near so wretched that he dared not even give a notice.
“Well, the senior is right.” Just like when she chose to leave Bowen Carter five years ago, it was just an escape.
She knew what the senior was talking about, but she pretended not to understand, poking through that ambiguous membrane, she was afraid that both of them would be embarrassed and would not even be able to be friends.
Dennis Gate let out a soft sound, a little disappointed at her pretending to be confused, but also a little happy. At least now, the two of them can still walk together in peace.
“I heard from Linda Mark that you’re divorced?”
“… Sort of, five years ago.”
Dennis Gate found a bench, took out a tissue and wiped it, gesturing for her to sit down, “You’re on such good terms, haven’t you ever thought about finding another one?”
The question was a bit cautious.
“I haven’t thought about it.” Tess Baker sat beside him and tried to dissuade him in as polite a way as possible, “First, I never met anyone I liked. Secondly, I’m afraid my son will be aggravated.”
“So … I mean if, if your son liked someone very much and wanted him to be a father, would you consider it?” The park had just been sprayed with water, the air was moist, but Dennis Gate felt his lips were dry.
At this point, he wanted to hear her answer, but was afraid she would say something that would break his heart.
Tess Baker did not expect him to ask such a direct question, and for a moment, did not know how to answer the question.
There was a moment of silence in the air, the only sound left was the breathing of the two people.
“It’s getting late, let me take you back.” Dennis Gate stood up and digressed from the subject that had embarrassed her.
Tess Baker wanted to say that she had driven here, but didn’t have the heart to refuse, so she accepted his kind offer.
Dennis Gate is a great conversationalist, and as the two of them sat in a car, he talked as if the embarrassment in the park was just a dream.
Half an hour or so later, the car arrived at the Alpine Water neighborhood.
Dennis Gate got out of the car first and opened the door for her as a gentleman beyond compare.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“Oops!” Tess Baker yelped as the corner of her skirt was hooked and she fell back into her seat.
“What’s wrong?” Dennis Gate bent down and poked his upper body in.
Tess Baker tried several times to get her skirt off, and answered with some embarrassment, “The skirt is hooked.”
…
Not far away, the Bentley.
Bowen Carter is sitting straight in the back of the car, with unprocessed papers in his hands and a hostile frown on his face.
He watched as Tess Baker poked his head out and sat back down, then the warm, handsome stranger bent down and poked half of his body into the car.
The two figures overlapped, and in the night, the charm was a little too much.
She so resisted his approach, but kissed with another man! He is in her eyes, what exactly is it?
“President, are we still going over?” The driver asked cautiously, feeling the back of his shirt getting wet.
Bowen Carter didn’t make a sound, he locked tightly at the two standing together talking and laughing, the cells of his body seemed to be placed with explosives, the next second will blow up.
