Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 128 First Touch of Heart

"You, come here." He waved at her.

Feeling that he was not as reluctant as she thought, Belle was pleased and took a few steps closer.

His long arms reached towards her, Belle's waist was encircled by his arms. He brought it with force

and Belle's sat on his lap. His force was so soft that Belle surprisingly did not resist and sat obediently

on his legs.

If her obedience could make him quit smoking, it was okay!

"Why do you want me to stop smoking?" His palm stroked through her hair forcing her face to meet his,

his magnetic voice warm and inviting.

"Smoking is bad for your health." Belle was nervous, not wanting her mind to be read too deeply, she

just replied casually, meeting his eyes freely.

"You care for me?" He laughed out softly, looking at her rather thoughtfully, examining her.

"Yes." Belle admitted, their relationship had long gone beyond friendship, since so, what was wrong

with caring for his body? Besides, there was only one man in her life, so it was normal for her to care

about him.

"If you're willing to help me, I'll think about it." After thinking about it, he spoke half jokingly and half

seriously, and when Belle saw that he had a wicked smile on his face but his demeanour was serious,

she couldn't help but ask offhandedly, "Are you willing to accept my help?"

Calvin's eyes held a deep, unseen implication, and with a chuckle, he leaned his head against the back

of the chair and asked, "How do you want to help me?"

At this demeanour of his, Belle had a hint of embarrassment, but she smiled confidently and said aloud,

"As long as you have the determination to cooperate with me, I can definitely get you to quit."

She smiled wryly after saying that, her eyebrows arched, her eyes blinked, revealing her white teeth,

which made Calvin’s heart warmed up instantly.

"Okay." He agreed with barely even a thought, the light in his eyes shining brightly.

"Okay then, you swear." Fearing that he would regret, Belle hurriedly extended her hand and placed it

in front of Calvin, he smiled and reached out. Belle took his finger and pulled a hook, forcing him to

swear. Calvin agreed to everything with her in his arms.

Belle didn't expect him to agree so readily, but according to her father's experience, it was still a bit

difficult for men to really quit smoking, for it took very good perseverance.

"Calvin, do you know the reason why I came to America this time?" After saying this, Belle thought it

was time to tell him about the business matter, so while he was in a good mood now, she asked, lest he

would blame her then.

Calvin smiled and didn't seem to care much about the matter, his large warm and soft palm attached to

her waist and he said softly, "You have your reasons for what you do, I don't need to know about it.

Since I've given the job to you, I will trust you."

How nice that sounded, Belle couldn't believe her ears. But he was so upset this afternoon that he had

to settle the score with her!

"Really? You believe me?" Her eyes shone brightly and she looked up at him, still in doubt.

Calvin gazed into her eyes and nodded with a smile.

"Then why have you been so upset?" She asked.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Calvin was stunned. Couldn't she see the reason why he was unhappy?

When he heard she had fallen ill and fainted, he had rushed here because he had been concerned

about her health. It seems that their thoughts are indeed too far apart and the gulf between them is still

very deep.

"You really don't know the reason for my anger?" His eyes darkened

Belle was frightened, about inviting Reece must give him a clear explanation, so she hurriedly

explained,

"Calvin, I hired Reece for Harvey Corp, he has unique experience in car production, you must value

him. Believe me, I'm doing this for the good of Harvey Corp."

She spoke with great sincerity and honesty.

Calvin's gaze was dark and he just looked at her.

Monica had already told him everything during the afternoon, and he was touched by the fact that she

had worked with her sick body in order to hire Reece.

If it was really about her own business, it would be possible to word that hard, but it was about Harvey

Corp and didn't seem to be directly about her, so why did she still take all her effort?

His heart fluttered and his eyes shone brightly. All along, Harvey Corp had not treated her well,

including him, who had also treated her coldly, but she worked so hard and even disregarded her body.

What kind of sentiment was this out of?

If he didn't know her initial reason for coming to work for Harvey Corp, he could still understand, but

now he knew exactly what was in her heart.

"Don't worry, I will." He replied in a warm voice. He had heard about Reece for a long time and had

always wanted to hire him, but since he did not know Reece and Reece was in a foreign country, so he

thought Reece would not accept. Moreover, this man was arrogant, it might not be possible to hire him,

now that Belle had helped him to hire him, it was like a big favour to him.

"Belle, can you tell me why you're working so hard? I don't think our company deserves such

dedication from you." Calvin asked with a guilty heart and uneasiness. That night when Lexie

committed suicide, he left in a hurry and never saw her again, not even wanting to say sorry to her. He

thought she would be angry, but she still forgave him.

Many times he would think about the choice his grandmother made for his marriage. Gradually he felt

that his grandmother had not just randomly arranged marriage for him, but seemed to have really deep

intentions, and his attitude was changing.

There were just many things that were not yet clear and he needed further verification.

"Calvin, I did it for Hudson, he fainted because of me." She lowered her eyes and whispered out, tears

slipping down her face.

Calvin felt her tears burning, and his hands began to tremble.

His hands tightened around her, taking her into his arms, and in a blink of his eyelids he saw the sorrow

in her eyes.

It was the first time they had spoken of this subject of their own accord, a subject that lay impenetrable

between them and a thorn in each other's side, buried deep in their hearts ready to stab each other.

Calvin felt heartache, and unexpectedly, he would no longer get agitated or furious over the matter.

Finally he had learned to let go and how to face it calmly.

"Belle, let bygones be bygones, it's all over now." He said with some difficulty, trying to comfort her,

wiping away the tears on her face.

Her tears made his heart clench.

Wasn't it enough that they had both suffered each other for so long over this?

"No, Calvin." Belle suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, tilting her face

up, her eyes staring straight at him, very serious, resolute and decisive, "Calvin, it really wasn't me,

what happened three years ago really had nothing to do with me. When I woke up, it had happened, I

didn't even know what had happened, can you believe me?"

She said, with the expectant light in her eyes that longed to be acknowledged by him.

Calvin's gaze was deep, and his heart ached as if something had torn it. He wrapped his arms around

her head and let her ear rest on his left heart, listening to his heartbeat, and then, stroked her soft hair

and said seriously, "Belle, I have long believed in you."

Believed her a long time ago! Belle could hardly believe her ears!

It was surprising that he believed her, and had believed her for a long time.

Is this true?

The light in his eyes was so bright and clear that it lit up her heart like a star in the darkness of the

night.

Anyone can misunderstand her, but not Calvin, that is the minimum she requires.

In fact, Calvin started to trust her, unconsciously, it was a kind of intuition without any reason. Maybe

that day in his father's hospital room, he started to believe her, especially when he saw the bed sheet

of the first night, he was convinced, just never told her.

‘Stupid woman, can't you feel it? I trusted you a long time ago, otherwise how could I have given you

such an important job in the company?’ He sighted at the thought of this.

"Belle, do you have something to say to me?" He said, but his eyes were sharp.

He was curious to know when she would be honest with him.

He hoped that she would take the initiative to tell him everything, including her purpose for being in

Harvey Corp. He didn't like the feeling of a woman who kept her mind in her heart.

He also needed to be trusted.

Calvin's question seemed casual, but Belle felt uneasy. They had been together for so long, he already

knew the purpose of her coming to the company, but he didn't ask questions, and even entrusted her

with important duties, so he was waiting for her to take the initiative to explain everything to him.

He is a shrewd but self-respecting man.

And she had no intention of hiding it from him any longer.

Since he could trust her so much, she felt that she should tell him everything.
