Chapter 496: Chapter 496: You Don’t Owe Me Anything
"No, I can’t let you do this. I will stop Stuart. If I don’t stop him, Hawk Real Estate will be destroyed!"
Madam Yates said emotionally, and then she was about to turn around and leave. She didn’t drink one sip of the soda water.
However, before she took a step, the man’s hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Bayer had never touched her, but this time, he boldly grasped her wrist.
The hot touch from her skin made her heart shake.
The same goes for Bayer behind him.
As soon as he realized what he was doing, he quickly let go of his hand. With a wry smile, he said, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it."
"That’s okay." When Madam Yates spoke, she was shocked that her voice was shaking slightly.
She quickly took a deep breath, turned to look at him, and said, "Bayer, you’ve done enough for me. Let me do something for you this time! "
"Bette, please don’t. I never expected anything from you. Being able to stand by your side, and you willing to give me this opportunity. I’m already really happy!"
Happy enough to forget about everything, happy enough to give up everything...
But so what?
He was satisfied to be with the one he loved.
He could never satisfy both sides, and he just had to choose.
When she heard Bayer’s words, her face turned pale, and her eyes began to twinkle because she didn’t know how to respond.
As soon as Bayer saw her face, he knew that he was stumping her.
Although she put on the appearance of a strong woman in front of others, in his eyes, she was only acting as a strong woman.
He smiled and said, "it’s late, go home. I won’t drive you."
He wanted to drive her, but he had to keep a distance from her for the sake of her reputation.
Madam Yates took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes. Everything which happened in those years started floating in front of her.
At last, she opened her eyes and said, "Bayer, let’s get married."
"What?"
Bayer’s eyes widened in shock, he looked at her incredulously, ravished with joy, but then the joy was immediately crushed by sadness.
He calmed down and smiled bitterly, "Bette, don’t talk nonsense, go back."
Once upon a time, he had spent a lot of time proposing to her. He had proposed to her three times...
But she never agreed.
She already had Alexander in her heart, and no one could drive him away.
So Bayer no longer wanted anything more, he just wanted to be with her.
Seeing that he didn’t believe it, she accentuated her voice.
"This time, I’m not joking. I want to marry you! "
When she said it word by word, he couldn’t help but frown slightly and asked again, Are you sure?"
"Yes."
He didn’t speak anymore. Instead, he stepped forward.
Madam Yates felt his scent approaching and stepped back in fright. She had been single for a long time. Although she was over 50 years old, her skin was well maintained, similar to that of a 30-year-old woman.
Although Bayer was the closest person to her, she kept a safe distance from him to avoid being criticized.
Now that he suddenly approached, the strong masculine aura made her cheek burn, and she couldn’t help stepping back.
When he arrived in front of her, her heart was beating violently.
Although she was no longer young, although she was no longer looking forward to loving as before, her heart was beating fast as if she was a teenager.
Bayer looked down as if to ask her. Her mind was filled with the face of another man. She couldn’t help but turned her head.
He unexpectedly turned away from her and picked up the coat on the hanger behind her.
"It’s cold at night. Don’t catch a cold. Go back."
He didn’t stump her, mentioning that she was avoiding him. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
At this moment, Madam Yates felt like a coward. She could dominate in the business field. However, in the face of Bayer’s love, she never had the courage to respond.
After a long time, she took a deep breath and forced herself to face it. She looked at Bayer’s face, a face full of mature charm.
She said his name slowly, "Tammie Lynch..."
When Bayer heard the name, his face changed a little, and his body became stiff.
Then he smiled bitterly and said slowly with deep sadness, "Tammie Lynch is dead. I am Bayer."
"I’m sorry."
She said in pain, with tears in her eyes.
"You don’t owe me anything. Everything I’ve done was of my own free will. Next time don’t talk about this nonsense. Go home. I’m tired and want to go to sleep. "
Madam Yates wanted to say something more, but she didn’t say it after all.
Because... She was not sure about her heart, either.
Maybe she really should think about whether to accept him or not. He had done too much for her. These many years of the company were enough for her to cherish.
But... The man in her heart, how can she get rid of him?
She nodded, "I will think about our relationship carefully when I go back. I will come to find you tomorrow."
Bayer chuckled, not answering.
She took a deep look and turned away.
Bayer stood at the window and watched Madam Yates’s car leave.
Just then, behind him, a female voice ridiculed.
"The car had already left. What are you looking at?"
An elegant woman with her arms around her chest stood behind him. There was a sneer on her face as if laughing at the man’s amorous behavior.
Bayer drew the curtains, then turned to look at the woman in front of him, and said lightly, "If you have recovered, I will send you back to city A. Hawk Real Estate needs you."
The woman in front of him was not someone else. It was Carey Bath, the former director of Hawk Real Estate.
The reason why Hawk Real Estate was in such an unstable state was mainly that the former directors suddenly resigned and abdicated. If Carey Bath went back, the overall situation would be much better.
However, the woman refused without hesitation.
"The company is yours, and so is your son. In order to help that woman, you have done everything, including abandoning your wife. Since you’ve decided to give up everything for that woman 15 years ago, why do you care about Hawk Real Estate now?"
Carey said sarcastically, then sat on the sofa, legs folded gracefully.
She raised her eyes and looked at a totally different man. In order to change his identity and prevent her people from tracking him, he had thorough plastic surgery. Except for her eyes, she could not find any trace of Tammie Lynch.
For a woman, he pretended to be dead for many years, changed his face so that he and that woman could stay together forever!
She thought the man was dead. Although she hated him, she still found some comfort, because at least his ashes were still with her. He was not her husband when alive, but at least hers after death.
But...
When Bayer appeared in front of her, she looked him in the eyes and knew... He was not dead!
Shock turned into resentment, then grudge!
Her eyes fell on the man, waiting for his answer.
