Go After My Ex-wife -
Chapter 513 I'll Be Staying at Harvey Manor
"Hmph, it's good as long as you remember it. If there's nothing else, you can leave, Kate said indifferently and nodded as she swept her gaze over to Calvin, who was standing at the side." "Mom, you're kicking me out so soon? Belle knew that she was driving Calvin away. She deliberately pouted and said, """How can you chase your daughter away like this?'""'"
"Mother, you can rest assured. Leave this matter to me. I'll have someone bid that jade fan tomorrow. The fact that Kate didn't berate Calvin face-to-face for wanting to take a second wife relieved him. Although she was treating him indifferently, he didn't plan to say anything, as he thought that he would explain it to her in the future. So, he immediately answered with a smile."
Kate glanced at him with a bland expression.
"It's not that I'm driving you away, but you're putting your heart and soul into your in-laws that you simply don't have the mood to stay here anymore. Kate looked at Belle reproachfully and said in a dissatisfied manner, """'You're wholeheartedly contributing to that family. I just hope that someone won't let your love and sincerity down."""""
"As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at the Calvin, who was next to Belle."
Calvin immediately understood what she meant. A dark light flashed across his eyes as he stayed silent.
"Belle smiled awkwardly. At that moment, the door rang, followed by a clear masculine voice drifting in. ""Madam Bennett, I'm here."""
"As soon as everyone heard that voice, their expressions changed."
"Kate smiled while Belle's face was filled with shock. As for Calvin, his expression turned grim."
"Wheel me to the living room, Kate told Belle, who was beside her."
"Belle came back to her senses and responded. She then looked at Calvin, who was next to her. His face was even darker than storm clouds." "Whoever told him to follow her there, he really was making trouble for himself!"
"However, Belle was also in a bad mood. She then wheeled Kate outside."
"Belle, you're back today. Aunt Kate had really missed you a lot, ya know? Sergio's eyes lit up when he saw Belle and greeted her with a smile."
"Belle chuckled. When she remembered that it was him who saved her that day, she couldn't bear to treat him coldly. Her eyes fell on his arm, which was still wrapped with gauze. So, she asked in concern right then, "Sergio, is your arm recovering?""""
"Frankly speaking, it had been so many days since the incident. She had forgotten all about it and hadn't taken the initiative to call him to ask about his well-being, which made her feel sorry for him, as he was injured because of her."
"Don't worry, Belle. Such a mild injury is nothing to me. Sergio smiled and glanced at Calvin's gloomy face."
The meal is ready. You guys should eat before you leave. Bailey walked out of the kitchen with a smile.
"Alright, thank you. Sergio agreed to it at once."
"Belle wanted to leave, but Sergio said to Calvin, ""Calvin, since we've met here, should we sit down and have a few drinks?""""
"When Calvin saw Sergio at Kate's house, he felt even more disgusted than having eaten a fly. He wanted to leave with Belle in no time, but when he heard Sergio's words, he changed his mind at that moment. After all, that was his mother-in-law's house."
"He really couldn't stand how shameless Sergio was. What did he treat that place as? Calvin himself was Kate's son-in-law. So, how dare Sergio invite him as though that was his own home?" "Alright, he answered faintly and pulled Belle's hand as they sat down at the dinner table."
"Come, Belle, try this. It's your favourite. As soon as they sat down, Calvin picked up a shrimp with his fork, put it onto Belle's plate, and said intimately."
Thank you. Belle expressed her gratitude.
"The two of them were acting very intimately, as if no one was around them."
"Kate sat on one side and looked at how the two were behaving, then at Sergio, sighing in her heart. Sergio was really infatuated with her daughter. The fact that he would come to visit her frequently was because he was obviously trying to win Belle over. Kate certainly understood that and had already persuaded him several times. Sergio was a man with a great background. So, Kate thought that he should let Belle go. What was more, her daughter already had a family, and she didn't have any feelings for him at all."
"She sighed in her heart. If Calvin was half as infatuated as Sergio was towards Belle, she didn't have to worry about them and be so unhappy anymore."
They then ate.
"Sergio suddenly picked up his glass of wine with a friendly smile plastered on his face and said to Calvin, ""'Calvin, I heard that something good will be happening to you and that you'll be really busy in the future. After all, you're going to take a second wife. Since I was able to meet you today, I'll propose a toast to you, to get some of your good luck!!
"He seemed to be speaking in a very casual manner, or perhaps, one could say that he did not seem to care about anything. After saying that, he looked at Calvin with a smile on his face in a friendly manner." "Nevertheless, as soon as he said that, the atmosphere instantly became tense."
"Kate's face darkened first, followed by Bailey, whose face even darkened as well."
"Calvin frowned and lowered his head and took a mouthful of food. When he lifted his head, he saw the mockery and smugness hidden in Sergio's smile. At that moment, the smile on his face was rather fake as his muscles were all stiff."
"Calvin gritted his teeth as he understood his intentions. ""I'm sorry, Mr. Xanthe. I still have to go out and play with Belle tonight. So, I don't think I'll be drinking today. We'll definitely have the chance to drink again in the future.""""
"Upon hearing that, Sergio did not continue urging him. He thought of something all of a sudden and continued with a grave expression. ""By the way, I heard that Sophia's condition is very serious. Therefore, I'll be going to Harvey Manor to visit her tomorrow and deal with some official business along the way."""""
Sergio was going to Harvey Manor to visit Sophia and deal with some official business?
Those words caused Calvin's and Belle's expressions to change.
"Mr. Xanthe, there's no need to trouble yourself. My grandmother's illness is indeed serious, but she's old and doesn't want to see outsiders. Calvin's expression was really unpleasant, and he rejected the offer immediately."
Sergio narrowed his eyes and chuckled.
"At present, Calvin felt very uncomfortable as he didn't want to argue with Sergio in front of Kate anymore. However, Sergio was obviously provoking him on purpose in front of Kate. If he continued to stay there, he would only bring contempt upon himself. Even if he were to refute, he was still at his mother-in-law's house, which would show that he was uncouth."
"Immediately, Calvin pulled Belle to her feet and smiled politely at Kate. """Mom, enjoy your meal. Belle and I still have something to attend to.""""
"Kate also sensed the tension between the two of them. So, she didn't try to let them stay."
"I'll see you off. Seeing that Calvin was about to leave, Sergio immediately stood up and offered enthusiastically. After that, he directly sent them to the door, regardless of whether they agreed or not. At the instance when they were outside, he whispered to Calvin with a sneer, ""Calvin, my superior has been urging me. So, I hope you can take action as soon as possible and don't let me down. In addition, we have recently received a report claiming that this matter is related to Harvey Manor. So, starting from tomorrow, I'll be following you 24/7 for the investigation's sake, and I'll be staying at Harvey Manor for the time being. I hope that you can be mentally prepared for that.""""
To think he would still demand to move into Harvey Manor!
"You... The veins at the corner of Calvin's temples popped out because of Sergio's words. He then gritted his teeth and stared at Sergio with his bloodshot eyes. After a while, he suddenly smiled and said, """Very well. You're welcome to stay in Harvey Manor anytime.""""
Thank you for your hospitality. Don't worry. I won't hold myself back. Sergio smiled shamelessly and answered in a straightforward manner.
"Calvin exhaled a breath of air and held Belle's hand, as they walked towards the elevator."
"Belle didn't hear what they were saying clearly, but when she saw Calvin's angry expression, she knew that it was definitely not a good thing, and it made her anxious. Nevertheless, she remained silent as she also felt very uncomfortable."
The Hummer drove towards the direction of the street.
"Calvin, where are you going? Seeing that they weren't heading towards Harvey Manor and that Calvin had a sullen look on his face as he drove, Belle was worried that Calvin might have forgotten how to get home from being angered by Sergio."
"To find a place to eat. After a while, he answered in a stuffy tone."
"Wasn't it already dark right then? Not only was he unable to eat at Kate's house, he even had to hold back his anger."
Belle looked at him and found his behavior quite funny.
"In fact, she was also hungry, as she didn't eat much just then."
"Then, I want to eat street food. Belle knew that Calvin would definitely take her to a high-end restaurant, but she didn't feel like eating those kinds of food. She only wanted to taste street food." "Calvin didn't say anything. Then, he turned the steering wheel with his hand and the car headed towards Luminary Road's famous street food market."
"After the two of them got out of the car, Calvin held onto her hand."
"A burst of cool breeze blew, which made them feel relaxed and happy."
"They ordered a lot of snacks. Smelling the tempting aroma of the snacks, Belle's appetite grew wonderfully."
"She rolled up her sleeves, revealing her two tender and fair, dainty wrists, and picked up the snacks in front of her, eating them up."
"Calvin took a look at her. ""You sure can eat, and you're not paying attention to how you look at all.""""
"Haha. Belle laughed. ""Calvin, don't be afraid. There won't be any paparazzi here. You also know that I don't act like this at home. So, can you please not restrict me?"""""
"She puffed out her cheeks. Her hands were full of lamb kebabs, beef kebabs, and many more as she ate them up quickly."
"Looking at her table manners, Calvin was amused, and all the anger given by Sergio had disappeared too. A sense of joy welled up in his heart. He had such a lovely wife. If not for the many things that happened between them, how wonderful their lives would be right then."
"Alright, I'll drink with you. Calvin dialed a number and ordered the driver of Harvey Manor to drive the Hummer back. Then, he ordered a lot of beer."
"Calvin was very happy to accompany Belle to eat snacks he would normally not even look at, to the point that all the negative emotions in his heart were swept clean."
