Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 577 An Exciting Moment

"Martin, women prefer sweet-talkers and men who know how to coax them. You may have made mistakes in the past but I am sure Rosa would forgive you if you are sincere. Don't let her go easily if you still like her. Belle encouraged him as she stood up."

Martin's eyes lit up momentarily but were soon extinguished by self-doubt.

"Martin had just started his career and he hadn't had much achievement yet. General Perry had high expectations. So, he didn't have the confidence to approach Rosa yet."

"Belle smiled and advised him. ""Martin, no matter what you do, always keep in mind that as long as you work hard and treat people with sincerity, you will get what you give out to them. The universe never mistreats anyone. You're not young anymore. Not only do you have to accelerate your career advancement, you should also be mature and earnest when it comes to your relationship. Women are emotional beings. As long as you are genuine and patient, you might just get what you have always wanted."""

"Martin listened to Belle's words. He looked at Rosa, who was jogging in the Ink Garden, and his mind stirred."

Belle left after she finished her sentence.

Martin stood there for a while before walking towards Rosa in resolute steps.

"Rosa, have you been well? Thank you for your help in taking care of the Harvey Group. Martin followed behind Rosa and gradually picked up the pace to jog along."

The familiar scent of Martin travelled along the morning breeze towards her. Her face flushed redder as she jogged. She pursed her lips and turned to face him with a distant expression.

I came here to help because Grandma always treated me well and also because Belle was here. It has nothing to do with you. You really didn't have to thank me. Rosa stopped and answered coldly. Martin was embarrassed and stuttered. He was the one who was at fault after all and Rosa has every right to be mad.

Rosa turned around and started jogging again.

"Rosa, I've let you down in the past. I know that I've hurt you. Please give me a chance to make it up to you, alright? Martin followed behind her and blocked her way, pleading with her in a sincere tone." "Rosa glanced at him and snorted. """'Mr. Harvey, there's really no need for that. I've already given up on you. There's no future between us."

"She had no reason to trust him anymore, judging from the things he had done in the past and how he deceived her."

"Rosa, I know I lost your respect but I'll prove myself to you. I am sure you'd accept me again when you see how much I have changed. Martin refused to give up and followed her shamelessly." Rosa remained unmoved and ignored him.

Martin followed behind her patiently.

Rosa jogged as Martin followed. The two of them ran on the running track in the Ink Garden.

Rosa felt a sudden annoyance.

"After the second lap, the footsteps behind seemed to have disappeared. She felt a little surprised and curious, and turned her head to look." Martin was standing under a parasol tree talking on the phone. The morning sun shone on his tall figure. He looked perfect from the side view.

It was apparent that her mind was in chaos. She didn't even hear when Martin's phone rang.

She looked around and calmed down slowly.

Rosa felt that Martin had truly changed. He had become much more mature and reliable.

"He looked less gloomy and more confident. He also exuded an air of unswerving determination, with a rAl Diarnt glow on his face."

The change in Martin's movements seemed to be captivating her even more.

"Rosa suddenly noticed that her heart had always belonged to Martin. Even when she tried to ignore those feelings she had for him, his shadow would always linger on the back of her mind and appear out of the blue to interfere with her determination to move forward."

Her heart was pounding fast.

She ran another lap and stopped. She bit her lip and stood still on the track.

Martin was still talking on the phone. He looked serious and focused. It seemed as if he was giving orders.

Rosa didn't want to be near him again. She ran away towards the exit after a moment of consideration.

"Breakfast was served at the Ink Garden. It was a rare and blissful event for Harvey Manor as Old Master Harvey' family had all gathered due to Sophia's illness. The long rectangular table was filled with all sorts of sumptuous dishes. The family sat according to their seniority, with joyful expressions on their faces."

"Martin, how is the M Countryn company now? Evan had resolved some of the misunderstanding he had with Martin over the years after the kidnapping incident. He wasn't as guarded as he used to be when it came to Martin now. He knew Belle had sent Martin to the United States to start a new company and he supported the idea. He was rather pleased at his achievement thus far as Martin was his only son." "Don't worry, Dad. The company is doing great and has huge potential there. Belle had planned everything well in the States. Success will come naturally, he replied joyfully. Martin had heard about how Hudson and Calvin had sacrificed themselves to save Evan and he was very touched by their actions."

Evan nodded approvingly.

"That's good. You must do your best and produce phenomenal results. Harvey Group is still trapped in a sticky situation. Luxury cars have always been the backbone industry of Harvey Group. Therefore, it must continue. You must make sure that the company will be strong enough to support and back Harvey Group when necessary. Evan reminded him."

Evan was not a fool. The Harvey Group was not out of the woods yet. There was still a long way to go for them. He already knew the crimes of the Xanthe family when he was still living in Africa but he could not find any evidence against them. He was well aware of Yadriel's means of doing things. It is important and essential for the family to unite and fight against the enemy now.

"Rest assured, father. I'll do my best. I won't let you down, Martin replied confidently with a smile."

Hudson and Evan both nodded.

Rosa was sitting next to Belle. She lowered her head and ate her breakfast without a word.

"Martin, you're a grown up now. You should start thinking about yourself when the company gets on track. MLexie reminded him. She was always worried about Martin's marriage and has cried many times in secret over this. As she saw how Martin had changed to become so capable and confident, she felt more assured about his future to establish a family of his own. "

Martin's face turned sour. He glanced at Rosa before burying himself in his breakfast.

"Madam Madeline sent someone over to propose a marriage again a few days ago. She wanted to marry her youngest granddaughter, Carmella, to you. She's been here several times before. MLexie sat next to Martin, and looked lovingly at him. She then added with a smile, """Let's arrange for a meeting since you are back? Carmella is beautiful and she's a young lady from a well-known family. I honestly think she's not bad at all.'

Belle was stunned when she heard that.

"Madam Madeline had indeed sent someone to discuss the possible union of Martin and Carmella. Belle was the head of the family. So, she knew what had happened. Carmella Newton was the youngest daughter of the Newtons' eldest son. She was well-educated and it was said that she ran a rather successful business. She wasn't young anymore but she hadn't found anyone she liked. To put it simply, Carmella was a successful business woman who was still single."

"Sophia was aware of this when she was still alert but she did not comment much regarding the marriage arrangement. She did, however, decline the offer tactfully with the excuse that Martin had a history of being jailed."

The family knew that Madam Madeline wanted Carmella to marry Martin as she was interested in the Harvey family's wealth and influence. Madam Madeline wanted them to get married so that she could infiltrate the family.

Madam Madeline had always been an astute woman. The marriages in the Newton family had always been arranged between families within their own class. They only focused on profits even when it came to marriages. Maxim Fletcher's marriage was a good example of it.

The Harvey family's influence and wealth in A City was unrivalled. The Old Madam had long wanted to ally herself with the Harvey family. She took it as an opportunity by using Martin's mistakes as an excuse to arrange a marriage. She thought the Harvey family would be desperate as Martin had a record and was jailed before.

Madam Madeline thought the marriage offer would be a sign of respect towards the Harvey family and believed that the Harvey family would be extremely grateful for the offer.

"Mom, Grandma is on her deathbed and I'm here to see her. Let's talk about marriage later. Martin's gaze once again fell on Rosa. She was drinking her milk slowly, pretending as if nothing had happened. He felt a wave of disappointment and replied to MLexie half-heartedly."

"No, you have to meet Carmella this time, and get to know her first. Look at you. You are not young anymore. You should have started planning for a family long ago. I am still looking forward to having a grandson. Now that someone has taken a fancy to you, and she comes from a pretty noble and well-respected family too. Don't miss this opportunity. MLexie nagged disapprovingly as she saw how disinterested Martin appeared."

Martin's brows furrowed. He looked irritated.

"Alright, let's not talk about this matter anymore. He's already an adult. He could make his own decision. Evan chimed in faintly when he heard the conversation."

MLexie stopped complaining after Evan intervened.

The breakfast still ended in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

The central air-conditioning of the luxury hotel was cool and cozy. The suite was cool like the spring weather although it was a hot summer.

"Madam Lilian got up Tristany today. After drinking a cup of green tea, she walked around the room."

She was very excited and her face had a healthy glow.

Quina had gone to the hospital to get the DNA test results. She would soon know whether Kate was indeed her biological daughter.

It had been 50 years. The day Madam Lilian had been looking forward to had finally arrived that day.

What an exciting moment it was!

"Although she had affirmed and confirmed Kate from the bottom of her heart, she still wanted to see the scientific proof."

Madam Lilian was detailed and careful. She couldn't be sloppy even though she thought of Kate as her own daughter.

She was in a good mood that day. She wore a deep red dress and even matched it with a maroon shawl as a celebratory sign.

"If the results were confirmed, then she would visit the Francist Community immediately with Quina to meet and acknowledge Kate. Then, they could have a good talk as mother and daughter. Madam Lilian planned to compensate her for all the lost time."

"Whenever she thought about Kate's tragic situation, Madam Lilian's eyes would turn red and her heart would ache."

That poor child.

She took a deep breath and thought about ways of making it up to Kate. She wanted her to be happy. Madam Lilian wanted to play the role of her mother.

Time ticked by but Quina was still nowhere to be seen.

Madam Lilian paced back and forth anxiously in the room. She was so excited. She was looking forward to Quina's arrival yet was also afraid of the moment when they finally acknowledged each other as mother and daughter.

"She didn't know if Kate would acknowledge her as her mother. After all, Madam Lilian was absent from Kate's life when she was growing up. She was never there for her when she was in distress and needed help."

"If she was being honest with her feelings, Madam Lilian would probably feel too ashamed to see Kate when the moment arrived."

Her heart wandered as her restless footsteps echoed in the room. She couldn't calm herself down.

Time passed by slowly.

The door was pushed open quietly.

Quina walked in with a smile.
