Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 53 Grandma's Wish

"Then don't blame me for not keeping my word, I promised you, and now it's you who's giving up on

your own." Calvin narrowed his eyes and looked at her as if he didn't believe her.

Belle was too lazy to bother explaining to him and stood up to clear the table.

The phone suddenly rang and Calvin took out his phone, walked to the side with a dark face.

"Calvin, where are you?" Lexie's pouty voice came out.

"What is it?" Calvin's tone carried with a hint of displeasure.

"Calvin, you promised me that you would take me out for a few days after the press conference, when

are we going to set off? How about the Maldives?" Lexie sounded excited and expectant.

Had he promised her? Calvin froze, how could he not remember?

"Lexie, I have some things on my hands right now, let's wait until I'm done!" His frowned and his voice

was indifferent.

"Calvin, today mum said she wants us to go back to Harvey Mansion for dinner, so come pick me up."

Lexie was still unrelenting over there, "The press conference is done, and mum said you haven't been

home for a few days and asked us to go home for a reunion today."

After the press conference, according to the established procedure, it was time for Calvin to discuss the

marriage with her!

"Lexie, go by yourself, I have some things to do today, I'll go back when I'm done." Calvin answered

carelessly, but his eyes fell on Belle who was walking this way, so he finished his quick perfunctory

reply and hung up the phone.

Belle sat his movement, but she said blankly, “Mr. Harvey, I want to ask for a leave today.”

After saying that, regardless of whether he agreed or not, she walked towards her bedroom and

prepared to change her clothes and go out.

"Wait, where are you going?" Calvin pulled her arm, his face full of displeasure, "I don’t agree!"

"Mr. Harvey." Belle shook off his hand and raised her voice, "Although I signed a one-year contract with

your company, I have personal freedom, okay? If you were worried that I would betray the company's

secrets at the beginning, what is there to worry about now that the press conference has been

completed and the design has been done? Can’t I even go out?"

Belle's face was unpleasant and her voice was cold, "Also, Mr. Harvey, I am going to move out within

these two days, within the contract period, if there is any work, you can let me know and I will try my

best to complete it."

Hmph, want me to serve you? Dream on, go to your Lexie, these are the things she should be doing!

She finished solemnly, tossed her head and walked towards her bedroom.

Move out? No way!

As she had not walked into her bedroom, she slammed closed the door.

Calvin was dumbfounded. The scene of her staying with Rhys after she had moved out passed before

his eyes, and an inexplicable feeling of annoyance surged through his heart.

Would he care about this?

Would he care so much about an unpleasant ex-wife? It was impossible.

He shook his head.

How could he possibly care about a woman like that?

But suddenly his heart felt like it had been hollowed out, empty and uncomfortable.

How dare you contradict me, you woman! Don't you take my words seriously?

Calvin snorted coldly, he just didn't like the feeling that this woman was fighting against him.

Want to move out? No way!

But he also knew very well that she had only signed a one-year contract, so he had no reason to force

her to stay.

He sat down on the sofa in dismay.

Not long after, the door opened and Belle walked out.

She was wearing a scarlet mid-length skirt with a tight waist, with a pure white jacket over it. Her hair

was tied in a ponytail, and the corners of her mouth slightly curved.

But, Calvin felt it dazzling.

"Which man are you going to seduce by dressing like this!" When Belle passed by Calvin, he spoke

sourly and sneered.

The smile on Belle's face instantly froze as she stopped in her tracks and gave him a fierce glare, "You

are unreasonable."

Not wanting to be angry with him, Belle said coldly, "I'll be looking for an apartment in the next few

days, and I'll move out as soon as I find one, I won't inform you again."

Calvin was stunned!

He had planned to take her out for a few days, and wanted to buy her some jewellery and other things

that women like, but he didn't expect that she would not only be ungrateful but also yell to move out.

Out of anger, he said in a cold voice, “Do you want to move into Rhys’ house? But his fiancée is here, it

will be tough for you. I'm telling you, even if you want to be his concubine, you may not be able to make

it. Rhys’ fiancée is the daughter of Sean Dixon, the most powerful gangster in the world.

Calvin's words were more taunting, but it revealed an important fact. It is rumoured that Rhys was gang

related, it turned out that his fiancée was a member of the underworld, so the rumour was indeed true.

Belle was shocked and could not help but let out a long breath of cold air.

But she couldn't bear to see Calvin's smug look, as if she had really become Rhys’ concubine. She

said, "Who said I was going to look for him? I'm going back to school today, and I'm innocent with him,

please don't think of me in such a nasty way in the future."

Belle rebuked without good grace before she walked away.

Calvin put on a smile.

The chrysanthemums were in full bloom, the evergreen trees were strong and green, and although it

was already early autumn, there was no hint of autumn fading in the garden, except for the blossoming

chrysanthemums.

The garden is clean and spotless.

The villa is three storeys high, with a somewhat old exterior, but this shows the value of the villa, which

is in a prime location in the city and has been listed as a national heritage site.

It is said that the villa was designed by a famous architect in the Qing Dynasty and is a typical old-style

of A City, on which all the glory and disgrace of the Harvey family is written.

Some people have estimated that the value of this unique garden-style building in Harvey Mansion

alone, which is in a prime location, is incalculable, not to mention the globalised properties under

Calvin.

So a grand family like the Harvey family is indeed a sight for sore eyes.

Calvin’s grandmother, Sophia, was sitting on a recliner in front of the window. Already at the age of

ninety, she was still healthy. She dressed in a dark red suit with a flamboyant embroidered phoenix and

dark red beads on the top and plain black trousers on the bottom, noble and majestic. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

A middle-aged woman in overalls suit is wearing glasses and standing to one side reading a

newspaper in a small, clear voice.

Sophia's eyes were closed and she appeared to be asleep.

"Ruth, finished reading?" Just when Ruth, Sophia's intensive care worker, thought that Sophia had

fallen asleep, the old woman made a questioning sound.

"Yes, Madam." Ruth replied in a soft, respectful voice.

"Has Calvin come yet?" Sophia's eyes suddenly opened, and the light in them was sharp, not at all like

an old woman of ninety years old.

At that moment footsteps sounded.

"Madam, Calvin is here." Ruth's face showed a smile as she said softly.

"Okay." The old lady nodded, "Let him in."

Ruth agreed and quietly walked out.

Calvin was standing outside, his face had a hint of gloom and unease.

"Ruth, is grandma doing well?" He saw Ruth walking out and greeted her politely. He had just come out

of the flat today when he received a call from Ruth, saying that the old lady was looking for him for

something.

Normally, his grandmother would not look for him at random, and she had been living in seclusion for

many years and had long since stopped asking questions about family matters, so what could she want

from him at this time? He was uneasy at the thought that hadn’t seen his grandmother for a long time.

Deep down, he had great respect for his grandmother, who never blamed anyone easily and never

forced anyone's will, but in his case it was a special case!

Four years ago, his grandmother had married Belle to him, and made his marriage unhappy.

At the time, he was bitter, angry, resentful, yet helpless!

He was defiant.

To this day, he is still distracted and agitated by that woman on a daily basis! It was all the aftermath of

his grandmother's decision back then.

He had always thought that his grandmother was wise, but only that time, forcing him to marry Belle

was not only unwise, it was simply a wrong decision in Calvin's opinion, and it was this wrong decision

that led to the disgrace of the Harvey family three years ago. The Harvey Corp was being in turmoil,

and his father was lying in hospital, and even Belle was unhappy, and it was because of this that he

had rarely come to Ink Garden in recent years.

His heart was more or less discontented with his grandmother.

"Don't worry, she is in good health." Ruth smiled, "Go in, your grandma is waiting for you!"

"Okay, thank you, Ruth." Calvin's heart settled slightly as he walked towards the old woman lying inside

the house.
