Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 332 The Heart Began To Race

"Belle listened in silence. These children were skipping school because the factory couldn't pay their parents' wages, hence the loss of their main source of income. Not only could they not pay for the tuition, they also had to travel far away from home and search for another job. The children would be left to fend for themselves now!"

"Such a family was likely to be poor. If the adults didn't have any skills, they probably wouldn't be able to secure a job outside. What's more, there were both the elderly and the young living under the same roof, and some families even raised more than one child!"

"If the children were unwilling to go to school, it wouldn't matter to them anyway. Of course, there were some children who were not willing to go to school, and since they lacked guidance from the adults, they regarded attending classes as something optional, coming and going as they pleased."

"After thinking for a while, Belle asked, """'Mr. Holland, can you tell me how many factories were responsible for the production of this material?""""

"Umm, to tell you the truth, all the factories in the area were involved. There are at least a few thousand families affected. It is easier for the women to find better jobs outside and support their families here. However, for those families that are full of men, they are struggling the most. Some people want to leave the village, but they are afraid that they won't be able to come back again once they did. The worst thing is that the factory doesn't have enough funds to pay for their salaries either. In other words, it's a dire situation. Mr. Holland sighed sadly, his face was taut with unease."

"Belle thought for a while and looked at him. This man was equally affected by this crisis. He hadn't had the chance to upgrade from being a bachelor yet, and thanks to this situation, it was harder to say when it would be possible to do that."

"After all, all the young women had already relocated, and they would not come back to find a man like him, who had no money, to get married and build a family."

"The day before, after visiting a few families, they found that it was of no use at all. All the adults had only one answer coming out of their mouths. 'No money'. Now even the school had become penniless!" "There were only five teachers in total, and only two of them were affiliated. These two teachers with funds given by their superiors had it easy, but the rest, including the gatekeepers and cooks, there were five staff members that still had to make ends meet. However, there was no source of financial support in the school. They could no longer pay for the wages of these staff members. Their days could only be described as scraping by."

"After Belle finished her three classes, she sat in the office, lost in thought."

"When she had found herself at rock bottom in this way, she thought about her car designs and wondered if she should sell them to keep herself afloat."

"If she sold them, she could still procure quite a handsome sum of money, which might be able to relieve her current emergency situation. However, it would only be a temporary fix. She still had to pinpoint the root cause of the problem. She had to find a way to sell those materials, otherwise, the large factories would be closed down. By then, the whole town would be steeping in trouble."

"As she thought about this, her heart became a little heavy."

"The children here were not as competitive as those in the big cities, where the latter still needed to score well in their studies. It was already fine enough that they could finish these few classes. Therefore, Belle was quite relaxed at teaching them a few English classes."

"She had no classes in the afternoon, so she left school Tristany in the morning."

The springtime rain showers have arrived.

The scenery outside was infinitely beautiful!

"The springtime breeze can't stop the rain in Jenova City, with laughter filling the streets. She repeated this local hymn and walked leisurely on the street. The red umbrella cast a faint red shadow on her face. Ever since she'd left A City, she had been away from those complicated issues. Her pale face had faded, and was now replaced by a rare blush."

She was sure that she was living a good life and was used to this kind of relaxing and calm life.

"Since she had to breastfeed, her hunger would always come quickly. When she passed by a small restaurant, the smell of the chicken pot pie tickled her nose. With a gurgling sound in her stomach, her hunger reached its peak."

"Immediately, she put away the umbrella and walked in."

Anyone who did their research would know that the chicken pot pie in this town was very famous for its phenomenal taste.

"She asked for a large serving, and when served, she almost gobbled it up in a hurry."

"After the meal, she thought of her mother at home. She had to order a takeout meal before she went out."

"It was still Tristany that day, so she was not in a hurry. She walked slowly, the umbrella in her hand."

"Since the water in the river had been filled with rain for days, the people in the gondolas were enjoying themselves in the river, and happy laughter could be heard from time to time." "Belle walked as she enjoyed the scenery, feeling relaxed and self-satisfied."

She stood still as she passed by an arched bridge.

The local residents said that the Romeo and Juliet of Jenova City had once met on this bridge and fallen in love with each other there. How beautiful that love must have been. "She stood there, lost in thought."

It was not until her feet were numb that she took out her umbrella and ambled towards her home.

"Mr. Harvey, it seems that the chemical plant is now facing a difficult situation. At this time, now is as good a time for any for us to take action, Aron said with great interest." News from the day before had been conducive for their proposal.

"

Do you think such a chemical factory should be purchased or should we just sign a contract for the chemicals? Calvin asked slowly as he walked up to the arched bridge. His eyes were fixed on the gondolas on the surface of the water.

"Aron thought for a while and suggested, """It's rather hard to say. If the purchasing costs are high, it would be convenient for future development. If we only signed a contract for our orders, there would be too many unpredictable vLexiebles in the future. In other words, we need to enquire more about this matter and study it further."""""

"The corners of Calvin's lips curled into a smile as he nodded. ""Aron, it looks like you've grown a lot and learnt a lot about business. You're no longer the young man who only knows how to think with his guts."

"Aron's face was stained red. He mumbled, """I have you to thank, Mr. Harvey.'

"Calvin smiled faintly and swept his gaze indifferently. Suddenly, he fixed his gaze on the street in front of him."

"Walking gracefully in front of them was a beautiful figure holding a red umbrella. Her silky, smooth hair draped down her shoulders. She was holding a plastic bag in her hand. She walked slowly, as if she was taking a leisurely stroll. Her back was as hazy as a lilac, swaying in the fine breeze and drizzle. Calvin's eyes were riveted on her back, his vision blurry."

"For only a moment, his heart beat faster, and his blood rushed to his head. He felt hot all over and his blood was boiling."

This figure looked so familiar that it could almost be noted at a glance that it was her!

"At that time, Aron also noticed his strange expression. Following his gaze, he could not help but to shout in a low voice, """Young Madam."""""

"Aron's voice made Calvin even more excited. He asked nervously, """Do you think she looks similar as well?""""

"Yes, this back is really similar. Aron nodded his head firmly."

"Saying no more, Calvin quickly trotted towards that figure."

"The closer they got, the more similar her movements matched that of Belle's."

"His heart was pounding as if it was going to leap out of his chest, his palms slick with sweat. He really didn't expect to meet her in Wullen Town. He thought he wouldn't be able to see her for the rest of his life!"

He was so excited that his body was shaking and his footsteps were hollow. It seemed that all the passion buried deep in the bottom of his heart was unearthed.

This was fate!

The two of them were meant to be together.

She's still a little far away from me! He thought.

"However, even at such a distance, the air seemed to be infused with her fragrance, swooping into his nose along the gentle breeze and drizzle, giving him the thrill and taking away his rationality. "With the lesson he had learnt from the earthquake, he tried his best to hold back his impulse this time."

"He just kept a distance behind her, pretended to be casual, and followed her from a distance."

"This time, he had to figure out her current situation before making his move. He could not allow her to discover him like the way she did the last time and then slip right under his nose."

He traced her all the way into the alley and passed by the stall selling cotton candy.

No sooner than a baby's cry was heard than her light body seemed to float and fly towards the yard.

Calvin was both surprised and delighted!

"It turned out that she lived in this exact yard, and he had been there before!"

"Alas, who was the crying child?"

"Until her figure disappeared in the yard, the child's cry turned into a spoiled hum, and then it completely quieted down."

"He was still staring at the courtyard in a daze, his mind blank."

"It was not until a long while that Aron rushed over. Looking at his lost look, he was very worried!"

"Old mister, I'll have one, thanks. After taking a look at that courtyard, Aron immediately understood the situation clearly, so he spoke to the old man."

"Okay, five dollars for one. The old man smiled."

"

"Here. Aron took out the money and handed it to the old man. He took the cotton candy, put it into his mouth and savored it. He praised the product. """"Wow, old mister, this is an art. It tastes superb.'

"I know. It's good that you like it. I have been doing this for a lifetime. This cotton candy is not necessarily delicious, but tourists like them. In fact, even when there are many delicacies now, they will always come back for this. The old man's face was red, proud of his explanation. His tone was calm, and it was also a long-term praise for the guests."

"Yup, never any truer words spoken. Aron nodded his head to indicate his approval. ""Old mister, I have something to ask you. Could you please tell me?""""

"Well, out with it. The old man was very straightforward. """I have been here for a lifetime. There's no one here, nor things that happened here that I don't know about. I will tell you anything I know.""*** "Aron smiled and said, "'"'Of course, thank you."" After saying that, he pointed to the courtyard in front and asked very seriously, """I just want to ask, who lives in the courtyard in front of us?"""""

"The old man looked at the courtyard and thought for a moment and said, ""This courtyard seems to belong to a family that has just moved in. I only know that there is a young woman living inside with a child, and a woman with prosthetic legs. It seems that she is the mother of the young woman.""""

"Hearing the old man's words, Aron's heart lit up even more."

"Then, do you know the name of the young woman? When did she move here? He continued to ask."

"I don't know what her name is. I only know that she has moved here for more than a month. She also likes my cotton candy and often comes here to buy it. Ah, but that woman's soft and gentle voice doesn't sound like a local at all. She's very polite and cultured. She doesn't look like she is from a humble background, but I don't know the exact details. The old man explained in detail. He looked ahead at Calvin, who was in a daze in the courtyard. A deep meaning swirled in his eyes."

"According to his observation, there had never been a man around this young woman, and she had a child with her. Would it have anything to do with the young man in front of her? If it was true, then it would make sense."

"However, the man in front of her, who was tall and slim, looked noble and mysterious. He didn't seem to be an ordinary person, especially when he wore a suit. His gestures were graceful and impeccable. He had met countless people in his life, so he was secretly surprised and guessed the identity of this young man in his heart."

"According to his experience, the man who asked him must be the subordinate of that noble man."
