Go After My Ex-wife -
Chapter 392 The Sweetness of Life
"Sergio, let's call it a night. I hope our cooperation will go well. Zoella rose to her feet and reached out her hand elegantly." "Sergio, slightly drunk, outstretched his hand and took hers. There was a deep and unpredictable smile on his face."
Zoella got up and left.
"Sergio raised his head. On the TV screen, Calvin took Belle's hand and left. Sergio's eyes narrowed and dimmed."
In the study of the Xanthe family's residence.
Sergio and Yadriel were having tea in the study.
"The Xanthe residence was allocated by the government. Although it was not magnificent, it was the standard for public servants."
"Dad, do you think we can trust Zoella? Sergio took a sip of tea. The strong aroma of Tristan Grey made him take in a greedy breath."
"The father and son were fond of tea, and often they would discuss political affairs in the study, with tea as a refreshment. It was an important way for Yadriel to influence Sergio in politics for many years. Gradually, it shaped Sergio into a cold-blooded man who was willing to risk everything for his political career. "
"He was not like the others who acted rashly without a care because of their father's high status. Instead, under the influence of Yadriel, he had a meticulous mind and was prudent. He was humble, polite, and well-mannered. It was hard to tell that he had come from a powerful family, but his methods were ruthless and sinister. He was not inferior to Yadriel in the least, and this was what Yadriel was most satisfied
with."
"She is a businesswoman who puts her interests above all. She is not at all trustworthy, Yadriel said with a straight face, but he quickly changed the subject. ""This is why Luqman looked for them, which is not surprising. This is in line with his 'anything goes' personality."""""
"Sergio nodded while thinking, the light in his eyes as sharp as a knife."
"Obviously, a woman like Zoella was not one to be lorded over. If he cooperated with her, what would the consequences be? It would have taxed his mind."
"Dad, what should we do about her... He asked eventually. Before he could finish his sentence, Yadriel shook his hand as if he understood what Sergio meant."
"Yadriel took a sip of tea, and the steam blew over his face. It was obscuring his shrewd face, making him look mysterious."
"Politics is our top priority. As long as it benefits us, we should strive for it. Success will come after that. You will know what to do when you succeed. As he spoke, Yadriel praised the beverage. """This tea is worth its price. The aroma is divine and lingering. Not bad.""""
The corners of Sergio's mouth curled up and a smile slowly appeared on his face. His thick eyebrows relaxed. A handsome smile was carved on his face.
When will Madam Lilian return to the country? Sergio asked with a serious face.
"Well, things are rather unstable over there now. Madam Lilian's schedule has been changed. I have received a notice from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs today, Yadriel said hastily, as if he had thought of something."
"Sergio nodded, feeling relaxed all over."
This secret can't be revealed to anyone for the time being. Keep it in mind. Yadriel lifted his head and once again reminded him. "Including Belle and Kate."
"I know. Sergio nodded and gave a weary smile. When Belle had been mentioned, the dejected look in his eyes was obvious."
"Yadriel looked at him and said in a deep voice, ""It's human nature to love. Hence the disappointment of not having your feelings reciprocated."""
Yadriel had anticipated the second marriage between Calvin and Belle. This was not a blow to him. It was natural for a man and a woman to fall in love after being in each other's company for a long time. "However, his son had been infatuated with Belle for a long time as well. If it weren't for Calvin, Belle would have been his daughter-in-law. If so, that would be a great thing."
"However, the reality was that Xanthe family was looked down upon by others. As long as Yadriel thought of this, hatred dug deeper into his heart."
The sight of his dejected son upset him.
"In recent years, he had witnessed Sergio's progress. Sergio was ruthless and scheming. He'd learned it from him. However, when he faced problems regarding Belle, he'd shown a rare hesitation and a woefu look."
This was not what he wanted to see.
"Yadriel didn't oppose Sergio getting close to Belle, but he didn't want him to be obsessed with her and affect his normal life."
"How about this? Rosa, the daughter of General Perry, has refused the marriage proposal from Martin. She has not found a suitable partner yet. I'll propose on your behalf. Yadriel thought for a while, and said seriously, """You know, General Perry has a great status in Capital City. Besides, Rosa is sweet and beautiful. She's a perfect match for you."""""
"Rosa? The innocent, youthful, and beautiful woman emerged in Sergio's mind. When she smiled, the two dimples on her face would show. Was that cute? Yes, of course."
"However, that was not the type that Sergio liked. Obviously, she was not his cup of tea."
"Nevertheless, he had to compromise after all."
"So far, there was no woman in his heart who could compete with Belle."
"His heart was heavy, and the sense of loss was distinct."
"Dad, forget it. Rosa is a good girl, but she is not my cup of tea, he said lightly."
"No, a good girl is enough. You are looking for a wife, not a lover. Remember, marriages can only serve political affairs, which is the rule of all political families. My election is imminent. If the marriage is successful, General Perry will be beneficial to us. Yadriel refuted and analyzed. """Besides, now that Calvin and Belle have been reunited, your feelings for Belle are nothing more than wishful thinking. Since there is no hope, we don't want you to waste your feelings, do we? We can only seek a more favorable political option."""""
"However, Dad, General Perry's influence is much weaker than Madam Lilian's, isn't it? Sergio proposed a reason to counter him."
"That may be, but there is no other way now. Before Belle was married, you couldn't win her heart. Now that she's married, all hope has been squashed. Although Madam Lilian is influential, she is abroad. General Perry is different. He is in Capital City and has a deep foundation. His influence can't be underestimated. Out of sight, out of mind, no? This is the better way. Plus, you are not young anymore, you're reaching 30 years old. It's time to get married."
Yadriel sighed and analyzed the situation.
"Sergio, believe me. As long as you achieve success and become famous, you can have any woman you want. Yadriel's eyes shone with confidence."
"There's only one Belle. Sergio muttered to himself in dismay. It was only until now that he realized he had used Madam Lilian as an excuse to get close to Belle. In fact, he had viewed Belle as the most important person."
"Sergio, when did you become so stupid? She has a family of her own now, and the best of her has been given to Calvin. What can you get now? Are you thinking straight? Looks like you really should get married and settle down. Yadriel let out a heavy sigh, with dissatisfaction in his voice."
Sergio smiled bitterly again.
"Dad, General Perry has a good relationship with the Harvey family. Even if you propose to him, he may not agree. He still tried to talk Yadriel out of it."
"Relax, you don't have to worry about it. Yadriel smiled confidently. """It would be possible if he didn't agree back then, but now the possibility is slim. Calling off an engagement is not a glorious thing among rich and powerful families. Besides, the rich families in Capital City have betrothed their children from when they were young. Rosa has broken off the engagement at this time. It is not easy to chance upon a suitable marriage for her. It has been such a long time, but Rosa is still single! You can imagine how difficult it is for her. If she seeks a man whose family status is lower than hers, I bet General Perry won't hear of it."""""
"From the way Yadriel spoke, it could be said that he was very astute."
Sergio was lost in thought and didn't speak for a long time...
A year later.
The trees dotting the Harvey Manor were thick and lush. The flowers in the back garden of Fragrance Garden were complemented with the evergreen plants. It was a beautiful sight to behold.
A new spring had graced upon the land.
In the living room of Fragrance Garden.
"Bang, Bang! Jerry's young and tender voice could be heard in the living room."
"Bang. Following the sound of a simulated gunshot, Jerry's excited voice rang out, """Ah, I hit you. Daddy lost."""""
"Ah! Following a 'painful' scream, Calvin collapsed and lay on the ground, motionless."
"Yeah, I won. Jerry threw a peace sign and shook them. His voice was loud from excitement."
"As soon as Belle got out of her car, she heard Jerry's voice in the living room. She couldn't help but to shake her head."
The father and son duo were playing dangerous games again.
"Although she didn't approve of it, she assumed a knowing smile on her face."
"That day, Belle was wearing a blue, sleeveless, silk dress. Her body had grown curvaceous compared to her thin frame two years ago. She looked charming. Her soft hair was tied up at the back of her head with a simple clip. She was graceful, elegant, classy, and beautiful."
"The happy life after marriage had made Belle's face rounded, and the skin of her cheeks was smoother, with a faint natural blush. Her beauty had only grown with each passing day. "
The nourishment of love had lubricated her life. She deeply felt the sweetness of life and love.
"After the wedding, Calvin had fulfilled his promise. He treated her with love and consideration, spoiling her and treating her very well. Belle truly felt the happiness of being a wife and a mother." "Ever since Calvin and Belle got married, Hudson and Paige had left all matters behind and embarked on a vacation around the world. The family head's duties were handed over to Calvin and Belle." "The two of them cooperated well and respected each other, and not once did they argue."
Such a peaceful and warm life seemed to have brought life to Harvey Manor. Even the grass and trees exhibited a different kind of warmth. Happiness wafted in the air. It was light and refreshing. "Jerry, you're here playing these violent games again. Belle softly scolded him in a loving tone when she walked in. Jerry was sprawled on the living room carpet as he stretched out his hand and pulled out a bullet from under the sofa, preparing to continue his battle."
"As for Calvin, he was lying on the floor, feigning death."
"Hearing Belle's soft voice, the father and son duo got up almost at the same time."
