Chapter 37 Linda Mark broke up
Tess Baker hurriedly drove to the Mark Family, the little one had been waiting at the door for a long time, “Mommy, sister Linda has been crying. I asked her to eat, but she wouldn’t come out!”
He flung himself at her and hugged her thigh, his voice muffled.
“Well, Mommy’s going to go check with you, so don’t worry about it.” Tess Baker picked up the little one and reached the door of Linda Mark’s room, watched by a group of handfuls of maids.
“What’s going on?” She asked one of the maids who was closer to her.
The maid shook her head with a confused look, “Miss suddenly started crying, I don’t know what’s going on.”
“Okay, I get it, take Mike down first.” Tess Baker handed the little one to the maid, then found the butler and asked for the spare key.

Just as the key was poked into the eye of the lock, Linda Mark’s scolding voice came from inside, “Who told you to open the door to my room? Get out!”
Then there was a thud, which must have been the vase being thrown to the floor.
Tess Baker ignored her scolding and continued to open the door.
As the door opened, a glass of water flew in front of her, and she dodged it.
The water glass fell to the floor and broke with a crash.
“What are you … doing here?” Linda Mark still had a water glass in her hand, and when she saw that it was her, she put it back down and continued to cry.
Tess Baker carefully walked around the mess and teased her, “Baby, what are you doing crying into panda eyes? Trying to steal a job from a panda, huh?”
“Fuck off!” Linda Mark pulled out a tissue and wiped her nose loudly, speaking with a thick nasal tone, “She’s crying so hard, why are you still in the mood to tell your snide jokes? Do you even have no sympathy?”
“Sympathy for what? I don’t even know why you’re crying!” Tess Baker leaned against the wall, looking down at the woman who was still sobbing on the floor.
Linda Mark glared at her fiercely and complained while crying, “I … definitely … dug someone’s ancestral grave in my last life to… … would have such a … detrimental friend like you! You … can’t you fucking say a … nice thing?”
Tears and snot flowed again, she reached out to grab some paper, only to find that both packs of tissues had run out!
“Here!” Tess Baker pulled out a pack of tissues and handed them to her.
Linda Mark took it, pulled out a piece of paper and wrung out her nose, “You have this tissue … what smell? It smells … awful!”
“And in the mood to dislike the paper smells bad, that means it’s not very sad.” Tess Baker as soon as the smacked paper towels pulled back.
“Tess Baker, do you have any humanity left? I’ve given your family that pile of trouble almost a million dollars, and you can’t even give me a pack of tissues?!” Linda Mark held the ground and tried to stand up.
But maybe her legs were numb from crouching on the ground for too long, and she slumped and fell to the ground.
Tess Baker held her up and took the smile off her face, “Been crying for a long time? What happened to you?”
Linda Mark ignored her, moved step by step to the bed, sat down and rubbed her sore legs.
Just when Tess Baker thought she wouldn’t talk, she suddenly said, “Grag Huck broke up with me.”
“Why?” Tess Baker frowned, Linda and Grag Huck have always been very good, why suddenly broke up?
Linda Mark shook his head, tears flowed down again, “He said a breakup and hung up, I called him, he also … did not answer.”
“You did not go to him?”
“… I didn’t dare.”
Tess Baker poked her twice in the head, “You even Bowen Carter dare to scold, how even this matter are not afraid to ask Grag Huck for clarification?”
“Don’t pat me on the head, you’re making me stupid!” She didn’t dare to go to Grag Huck, afraid that he would make up his mind to break up with her.
After so many years with her, Tess Baker could almost guess what she was thinking, “Linda, come on, let’s go ask him!”
“I don’t want to go!” Linda Mark slapped her hand away and moved her body back, cowering in a way that was not at all like usual.
“What are you going to do now if you don’t ask for clarification? Pretend he didn’t break up with you?” Tess Baker reached for her, “Go!”
Linda Mark didn’t slap her hand away this time and let her take it.
Tess Baker drove her to Grag Huck’s workplace and called him. But after several consecutive calls, no one answered, and then simply reminded her to turn off the phone.
“Don’t call, he won’t answer.” Linda Mark shrank back in the passenger seat, never more tender.
Just as Tess Baker was about to say something, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.
“Grag Huck!” she shouted, running down and grabbing Grag Huck from behind as he tried to escape.
Linda Mark looked at Grag Huck and retracted the foot she had just taken. Before today, she had never thought she had been so timid.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“What do you want from me?” Grag Huck couldn’t even look Tess Baker in the eye when she spoke to her.
Tess Baker grabbed him and didn’t let go, afraid he would run away, “Why did you break up with Linda? Wasn’t she good enough for you?”
“It’s not a question of whether it’s good or not, I’ve already told Linda about the breakup.” There were colleagues coming and going, all knowing each other, and Grag Huck tried to get her to let go.
“Then what’s the problem?” Tess Baker held on a little tighter, she had to ask for Linda today!
“This is that Grag Huck from our department, and his girlfriend is a high roller!”
“So what if his girlfriend is rich and beautiful? Her family doesn’t even see him as a rural boy!”
At this time, two male employees passed by, and their voices floated along the wind.
Their voices were not too loud, not too small, as if they intended for Grag Huck to hear them.
“Have you said enough? I don’t know which words broke the last string in Grag Huck’s heart, he broke away from Tess Baker and yelled at the two men.
He had a clean-cut look, but now his face was red and his eyes were red and he looked hideous.
The two men glanced at him grimly and spoke away.
“Do you understand now?” Grag Huck turned his head to look at Tess Baker, anger tinged with bitterness, “A man like me is not good enough for Linda, her family would never approve of her marrying me!”
“But Linda doesn’t care about that, you can get married after a few more years, after your aunts and uncles let go.” Tess Baker didn’t expect these to be the reasons for the breakup.
Grag Huck smiled to himself, the blood under his eyes thickened a bit, “But my father is sick, only six months to live, I have to get married in these six months, Linda can?”
Tess Baker was shocked, she didn’t know Grag Huck dad was sick …
He added, “Even if Linda could, there’s no way I’d stay with her! I’ve had enough of those little white boy labels!”
Linda Mark came over, didn’t even look at him, and pulled Tess Baker right in, “Tess, let’s go.”
“… hmm.” Tess Baker looked back at Grag Huck, only to find the man who had just been furiously squatting on the ground, actually cried so in the street.
She expected Linda to look back, but not a single glance.
“Ran … Tess, have a few drinks with me.” Sitting in the car, Linda Mark just bit her lips, suppressed to cry out.
