Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 45 Dinner Together

"Belle, if you don't come back, Lexie will take your position.” Emily said with worry, “That woman is

scheming. She managed to brainwash Paige now, even Calvin listens to her. I heard that Paige is

preparing for their marriage. She wants Calvin to divorce you so that he can marry Lexie. Their only

fear is that his grandmother will object. If she does not agree, they can’t marry, but that woman is

determined to marry into the Harvey family. She even told Paige that she loves Calvin a lot and she

doesn't mind that he has a wife. She is willing to be his second wife even if Calvin doesn’t get divorce.

Paige was touched by her words, so she agrees Lexie to marry to Calvin. Even if his Grandma doesn’t

agree, Paige will have Lexie live in the house. So, Belle, come home, while Grandma is still alive, she

will definitely support you. Many young women dream to be the wife of Calvin. Lexie is Deputy Mayor'

daughter but she's willing to be Calvin’s second wife. You should take advantage of the fact that

Grandma still has power and a say in the family.”

Emily was nagging, and Belle could only nod her head, though she felt bitter in heart. Then, she walked

out of the ward.

Emily grew up in the Calvin' Mansion. She saw with her own eyes how the men in the rich and powerful

Harvey family took second wives. Calvin's grandfather had a second wife and Claude's family was the

descendant of the second wife.

However, Hudson and his wife had a good relationship. Paige kept a close eye on Hudson so they did

not encounter such a problem. Moreover, Hudson was naturally a loyal husband, and he did not want

to upset Paige, so he did not have a second wife or something.

However, Claude married a second wife. She blatantly moved into the family. In fact, it was normal for

men from wealthy families to openly marry a second wife in A City.

Although the monogamy system was preferred, for the wealthy families, it was normal to have several

wives. Furthermore, some women were willingly married men for their fortune.

It was too much of a temptation to marry into a wealthy family. As long as the second wife gave birth to

a son, they would have no financial worries for the rest of their lives. They would live a good life as

wealthy husbands were commonly generous to the second wives.

For example, in today's entertainment industry, many female celebrities marry into wealthy families as

second wives. They still acted happily and proudly. What's more, the wives all got along well with each

other.

Lexie was the daughter of Deputy Mayor. It would be ridiculous that she was willing to marry into the

Harvey family as a second wife.

Not to mention, she was an arrogant woman, always looking down on most people. As Deputy Mayor's

daughter, she would felt embarrassed to be as a second wife.

The fact that Lexie told Paige how she was willing to be a second wife was just to gain her favor.

Belle lay in the ward for a whole day silently. She did not even take a step out of the ward.

Calvin never came back.

She went to bed early but had various dreams, it was dawn when she woke up.

After packing her things, she discharged from the hospital.

She came to nowhere but Grand Hyatt Apartments.

Since Calvin suspected that she would betray his company, she chose to stay in the apartment, so that

he could feel relieved.

In these days, a perfect car model came to her mind, so she had to paint it out.

She turned on her computer and began to work.

In the afternoon, she went out to get some ingredient and began to cook.

She was going to cook some food tonight. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The big kitchen was clean, for Calvin never cook, and he could get whatever he wanted.

Belle turned off her phone and focused on cooking.

In the evening, Calvin came back.

As he had just reached the door, he smelt the food, and became stunned.

He took a few steps forward, and saw the woman who was cooking. In a apron, she was cutting the

vegetables, and glanced at the cooking soup from time to time.

He lost in thought. He worked overtime last night for the express conference, and he had to call some

famous consortium to show his respect, so he had no time to go the hospital. Being too tired, he felt

asleep in the sofa.

After the work in the afternoon, it occurred to him that Belle was still in the hospital, so rushed over, but

the nurse told him that Belle had discharged from the hospital.

He pulled out his phone and dialed her number, but she had turned off her phone.

In hurry, he made a call to Lottie, worried that Belle would have accident like last night, for he did not

come to her last night.

Helpless, he came back to the apartment, though he thought that she would not come back. From

experience, he thought she would go to a place where she could not be found, or go to Rhys for some

comfort.

He came back in a bad mood, to his surprise, Belle had been back and was cooking in the kitchen.

Gradually, he felt pleased.

He leaned against the door, watching her cooking, his mind complicated.

Belle used to a rich lady, but she was not that effeminate, but stable and tolerant, gentle to everyone.

He thought maybe based on this point, his grandmother wanted him to marry her.

After the fish was done, Belle turned off the stove, covered the lid of the pot and reached to carry it.

“Watch out.” Calvin spoke out as she was to carry the plate with bare hands, for it would burn her hand.

Sure enough, Belle withdrew her hands after feeling that it was too hot.

“See, you got burnt.” Calvin stepped forward to take her hand, seeing that her hand got a blister, he

could not help but rebuke her.

Belle raised her head in surprise, only to notice that Calvin was back.

“I am ok.” Belle gave a big smile, went to the bathroom and applied some toothpaste on it, the cool

toothpaste covered that hint of pain.

“Why did you discharge from hospital? You did not even have my permission.” Calvin put on a sulk

face, could not help but question her, at the thought that he had searched for her everywhere, worried

that she would find a corner to cry or something happened to her.”

“I am fine, and I still need to work, I have already have my work delayed.” Belle answered blankly, and

then put on a bright smile, “Let’s have dinner, I have cooked your favourate food.”

It seemed that she did not have something in her mind, like she had left behind the fact that he had lost

temper to her in his father’s ward.

He could not understood this woman. When there is not a big deal, she shed tears, but after he lost his

temper to her, she was not angry with him.

Maybe she was guilty, for she was the one caused his father to be sick.

Belle placed the food on the table. They were all the food that Calvin loved.

“Come on, let’s have some wine.” Calvin was hungry and in a good mood, he opened a bottle of red

wine.

“Okay.” Belle sat down with a smile.

“Have some food, this is your favorite fish.”

"I see.” Calvin's eyes dimmed, and he raised his glass, “Belle. If I remember correctly, this should be

our first meal together. A toast to you.”

Belle raised her glass, but she felt bitter inside. They had been married for four years, but this was the

first time they had eaten together alone.

It used to be so cold and distant between them.

They were probably the weirdest couple in the world!

"Belle, I'm sorry. I might have hurt your feeling in my dad's ward yesterday. I was emotional and

couldn't control myself. I promise that it will never happen again. Like I said, forget everything in the

past. Come on, cheers.” Calvin's eyes were a little reddish. He was blaming himself, then he downed

the glass of wine.

"It's okay, let bygones be bygones,” she shook her head and finished her glass of wine too.

Calvin brought a piece of chicken to Belle's mouth. Belle opened her mouth and took it.

The two laughed at the same time, the atmosphere was harmonious.

For the first time, Calvin felt at home in this apartment.

"I have something to say.” The two spoke at almost the same time, then froze at the same time,

laughing almost simultaneously. “You say first,” he said.

“You say it first.” Belle wanted to hear what he had to say.
