Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 569 Madam Lilian's Visit

"In the summer, the weather was rather impermanent. After a heavy rain, the gloomy air disappeared, with fresh air constantly flowing in through the window."

"Kate sat in front of the study, breathing in the fresh air, and her depressed mood instantly lightened up."

"The staged wedding that had happened in Harvey Manor, as well as the fact that Calvin had personally clarified the rumor of him getting a second wife, improved Kate's mood."

"Calvin was truly in love with Belle. Through this incident, she was able to make out what was going on."

"Although Kate disagreed with Calvin's method of 'marrying a second wife' to solve the problem. Nonetheless, after careful analysis, this kind of arrangement was also the best shortcut to solving the problem." She took a deep breath and looked down from the French windows.

"Even though she was on the 28th floor, she keenly noticed the disturbance of the neighbourhood below as she sat there everyday to enjoy the scenery outside the house."

Five black cars drove in from the Francist Community's main entrance.

Such cars were not driven by ordinary people.

"After all, Kate was also an official's wife. She used to follow Ethan and participate in various governmental administrative meetings. Hence, she knew that the cars' license plates were only available for government officials."

"Moreover, they were not used by the common officials."

"She sat quietly, but the expression on her face was indifferent and desolate."

"Since Ethan left, Kate's life had been quiet and bleak. Belle was the only one who could bring her slight happiness when she returned. Other than that, Kate's life had turned monotonous."

"This residential area was for the family members of government personnel. Thus, it was common for such a grand government vehicle to appear. Therefore, she didn't think too much about it. After all, those had nothing to do with her."

"Life was like that. After Ethan's death, the mother and daughter duo became an orphan and a widow. The people who usually surrounded them no longer appeared. Such vicissitudes of life were normal. Kate's heart was as calm as a millpond, and she was indifferent and unperturbed."

"Madam Lilian sat in the car and carefully observed the area's landscaped garden. She figured that they must have had a good life before Ethan met with an accident. At the thought of that, she relaxed." "After the car was parked on the ground floor, Quina helped Madam Lilian get out of the car."

"A few more military vehicles followed behind quietly. This was a detailed arrangement made by Quina. Considering the sudden incident in the hospital previously, she had to make ample preparation this time." The elevator stopped on the 28th floor.

Quina carefully held Madam Lilian as they exited the elevator.

One of the bodyguards came forward and rang the doorbell.

"After a long while, someone opened a small door from the inside."

"Bailey looked out from the inside and noticed a dame with an extraordinary temperament and two bodyguards standing at the door. There was also a middle-aged woman with glasses on, who was rather classy, holding onto the lady."

Bailey was stunned and was sure that she did not know them.

That was strange. Who could those people be?

"Who are you looking for? Her face was full of surprise as she asked with vigilance. In the past few days, Bailey had the feeling that someone was following her when she had gone out to shop for groceries. Furthermore, their building seemed to have more mysterious strangers than usual, making her feel very uneasy. Hence, she became more alarmed."

"Hello, may I ask if Madam Kate lives here? Quina smiled and asked amicably."

"You are... Bailey did not open the door even though they mentioned Kate's name. Instead, it was obvious from her tone that she felt even more suspicious about it, and she did not hide the doubts on her face. "Oh, it's like this. Our Madam wants to visit Madam Kate. Is that okay? Quina gave a polite smile."

Madam?

Bailey's eyes fell on the noble woman who was standing in the middle.

"This woman's temperament was noble and elegant, and her outfit was different from the others. The imposing aura she exuded was something she had never seen in so many years."

"Bailey looked at Madam Lilian's face again. Her delicate facial features made her look as if she was in her fifties. She looked polished and behaved in a very dignified manner, which made her look extremely approachable."

"She stood there quietly with a kind smile on her face. However, the noble and formidable aura she emitted could not be ignored."

"Bailey watched on. Suddenly, she felt as if the face, nose, and eyes in front of her were somewhat familiar, as if they had once met each other. However, she couldn't recall where she had seen her." "Please rest assured. We have no ill intention. We just wish to visit Madam Kate. We heard that she is not in good health. So, we are here to see her. Please open the door and let us in. Quina was all smiles as she explained patiently."

"Seeing that scene, Bailey understood that they wanted to pay Kate a visit. It was likely that they wouldn't leave if they couldn't meet her. She thought for a moment before politely replying, ""Then, please wait for a moment. I'll go in and ask for Madam's opinion first.""""

"As she spoke, Bailey turned around and went to Kate's study."

"Madam, there's a dame outside wanting to meet you. She even brings along a few people, she whispered to Kate, who was sitting there in a daze."

"Oh, who are they? Why do they want to see me? Kate answered with an 'oh' indifferently. She didn't seem fazed by it, and her expression was calm."

"Madam, this... Bailey didn't know what to say. After thinking for a while, she added, """The woman who looks like a staff member mentioned that their Madam heard that you are in poor health and wanted to visit you."

The corners of Kate's mouth twitched slightly.

"Why would there still be people, whom she didn't know, coming to visit her, a disabled person, for no reason or out of sympathy?"

"Although she was disabled, she didn't lack anything."

"Bailey, can you ask her who she is again? What's her name? Why did she come to visit me? If she just wants to comfort me because she sympathizes with my condition, then forget it, she answered indifferently again with a very stoic expression."

"Alright. However, Madam, they seem to have a strong background. So, they should not be ordinary people, Bailey commented."

"Kate snorted even more disdainfully. ""I couldn't care less about her background. They're here to see me, not the other way around. If they can't give me a proper reason, then I won't meet them. You should know that I don't care about interacting with the nobility."""

"Hearing Kate's words, Bailey had no choice but to agree and walk out of the room."

"I'm sorry, but my Madam would like to know who you are. May I get your name? Is there an important matter behind this visit? She is in good health now, and she doesn't need your sympathy. Bailey repeated Kate's words."

"This time, the people outside looked at each other in dismay."

"Quina did not expect meeting Kate to be so troublesome. It seemed that Kate's personality was not that good as she was very lofty. In fact, many people wanted to meet with Madam Lilian, but their intention didn't bear any fruit. Right then, Madam Lilian took the initiative to see her and she was still putting on airs. Nevertheless, after considering their special relationship, Quina smiled and responded kindly, """Our Madam is Madam Lilian, and she is a high-ranking person. She's here just to meet Madam Kate, and there is no malice. I hope your Madam can accept our goodwill."

"Bailey smiled bitterly on the inside. She understood Kate's personality. Madam Lilian's status was of no use to her now, as it all depended on whether Kate liked her."

"At this time, Madam Lilian chimed in with a faint smile, ""Please tell Madam Kate that Belle is now my granddaughter. Since I've identified with her, I wish to visit Belle's mother, Kate. Belle often proudly mentioned Kate in front of me, and I've already told her that one day I'll come to visit Kate in person."

"As soon as these words left her mouth, Bailey instantly heard Belle's name. Her expression and attitude changed. She looked at Madam Lilian again with a smile on her face and hurriedly informed them, """Then, please wait a little longer. I'll receive my Madam's instructions.""""

"Bailey quickly left. After a while, she opened the door and invited Madam Lilian in."

"The two bodyguards stood outside the door, and Madam Lilian only took Quina into the room."

"The living room was very spacious, and the decoration was quite luxurious."

Her family must be rather wealthy.

Madam Lilian looked around.

"At this moment, Bailey pushed Kate out of the room."

"Madam Lilian and Quina turned over to look at Kate almost at the same time. With just a glance, Madam Lilian's heart pounded violently."

"It's just too similar. Too similar, she muttered to herself with the rims of her eyes reddening."

Kate's delicate face looked so similar to Flavian's.

Her forehead and nose seemed to have been made out of the same mold.

Madam Lilian's hands began to tremble.

"At this moment, Kate was sitting quietly in the wheelchair with a polite and decent smile on her face."

"Nice to meet you, Madam Lilian, she greeted politely. She had heard from Belle about Madam Lilian. She knew that Belle had formed a grandmother-granddaughter relationship with this world-renowned woman. For Belle's sake, Kate didn't dare to disregard her. So, she immediately ordered Bailey to open the door and invite them in."

"For Kate, nothing was important except for Belle."

"Even if Kate didn't want to meet them anymore, she still had to do it for Belle's sake."

"Madam Lilian just dumbfoundedly stared at Kate, and her vision was blurry due to the tears in her eyes. It was not until Kate called out to her twice did she come back to her senses."

"Okay, okay, child, she replied in a trembling voice. The woman was sitting in front of her in a wheelchair. If she was really her daughter, then she was at most 51 years old. Madam Lilian gave birth to her when she was 21. Yet now, although she was sitting in the wheelchair with a calm smile and a determined look in her eyes, she already had gRhys hair and looked even older than her. Was this her daughter? What kind of a life was she living?"

"Madam, thank you for visiting my humble abode. Please have a seat. Kate, who was sitting in a wheelchair, gestured towards the couch. She then turned to Bailey and ordered, """Bailey, make some tea for the guests."

"Grinning widely, Bailey agreed and left to prepare refreshments."

"Kate pressed the switch on the wheelchair. Madam Lilian hurried over and offered in a friendly tone, "I'll push it for you."""""

"As she spoke, she did not allow her to refuse her offer. Madam Lilian personally pushed Kate towards the couch."

"Thank you, Madam. Kate was slightly embarrassed."

"Madam Lilian pushed her and placed her next to the couch. After that, she sat down on the sofa opposite Kate. The two of them faced each other and sat very close to each other."

"After sitting down, the two began to size each other up."

"The longer they looked at each other, the more frightened both of them were. For the first time, Kate felt fear. She didn't know what kind of a feeling it was. In the end, she avoided Madam Lilian's gaze and dared not to look at her anymore."

The light in Madam Lilian's eyes was so familiar that Kate almost didn't dare to look straight into her eyes.
