Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 600 Shameless To The Core

Belle sat blankly in front of Sophia's bed as she held Sophia's hand in hers.

"Grandma, can you hear me? Can you tell me what I should do now? Did you really revise the will to include that? Were you always hoping that Calvin would marry Liya? Grandma, please tell it to me, Belle said as tears started dripping on her cheeks, and landed on Sophia's hand."

"Ever since the will was announced the previous night, Belle had been feeling terrible. She wouldn't be bothered if this was someone else's will. However, it was Sophia's, whom she had always looked up to. This made her feel worse."

"It was clearly stated in the will, and the handwriting was Sophia's too. It looked legitimate to her."

"If Calvin refused to marry Liya, then he would lose everything within the Harvey Group. She knew about the consequences, and she knew very well that Calvin would end up with nothing. His past efforts would be wasted. This was an extremely cruel thing to happen to a man like him."

"Although Calvin didn't talk with Belle about this, she knew what he was facing. She couldn't allow him to risk everything for her."

"At that moment, Sophia's eyes that were shut slowly opened up after hearing Belle's words. Sophia stared at Belle with a blank and confused expression."

"Grandma, can you recognize me? Belle immediately leaned closer to Sophia and asked in a hurry."

"Sophia looked at her for a while and said in a trembling voice, """Calvin, Calvin.""""

Belle's bright eyes darkened.

"For the past few days, Sophia had been experiencing hallucinations. She would be calling out to Hudson, Evan, Martin, or Calvin from time to time. There were also times where Sophia would call out Belle's name. However, Sophia was always in a daze. She was just muttering their names without being aware of what was happening."

"Tears welled up in Belle's eyes. She placed her cheek in Sophia's hand, not knowing what to do."

"She was supposed to pick Kate up and come over to Harvey Manor the previous night. However, this had been postponed because of what had happened."

"With Liya making a scene over here, Belle was not in a mood to pick Kate up. She didn't want Kate to feel upset about the whole situation. However, with Sophia's condition worsening by the day, she knew she should somehow bring Kate over before it was too late."

Belle was also in a dilemma.

"Aunt Ella brought over some porridge and herbal soup. Belle stood up with tears still welled up in her eyes. She was about to take the food over, when Sophia suddenly tugged at her arm." Belle was surprised and she lowered her head to glance at Sophia.

Sophia was muttering something.

"Belle hurriedly bent down. She paid attention to what Sophia was muttering about, and was taken aback when she heard, """Lilian, Lilian"". Belle widened her eyes."

"Grandma, are you looking for Madam Lilian? Belle asked in a loud voice near Sophia's ear."

"However, Sophia just continued muttering, accompanied with some heavy breathing. She couldn't say anything else, or more accurately, she didn't hear what Belle was asking."

Belle could only hold Sophia's hand in hers as she sobbed.

"This is really annoying me, Marrisa said with a sigh as she walked into Sophia's bedroom."

Belle quickly wiped away her tears with one hand and wriggled out of Sophia's grasp.

What's wrong? Belle forced a smile and asked.

"There was a hint of embarrassment and guilt as Paige saw Belle. Then, she spotted Belle's eyes, which were already red from the crying. Paige felt terrible. She took Belle's hand in hers and said, """My child, that Liya woman is just really shameless. She found her way in, once again. I am angry, but there's nothing I can do. I hope you won't overthink things."""""

Belle was startled. She finally understood why Paige looked so frustrated.

Liya was moving in again?

Belle's face turned pale.

"My child, rest assured, I will always be by your side. If she dares to pull anything, then I won't let her get away with it. Paige took in Belle's expression and immediately consoled her. She was worried that Belle's emotions might also affect the baby in her womb."

"Belle had a wry smile and said, ""I'm fine. Thank you.""

"However, she was not fine deep down. She felt that something stuffy was swelling in her chest. Belle lowered her head and covered her mouth as she walked out of the bedroom."

"Belle was in the corridor when she saw the woman in her red dress, walking towards her in her usual seductive aura. The woman was holding an elegant purse, walking in her high heels, looking confident and arrogant."

"Maud was following behind the woman, clearly looking anxious."

Young Madam. Lennox Maud immediately hurried over after spotting Belle.

Belle froze in place.

The woman standing in front of her was none other than Liya!

"Belle was staring at Liya with a surprised expression. Liya definitely looked different. If the previous Liya was a young and shy woman with huge ambitions hidden under her exterior, then the present Liya had already become a sultry and seductive woman with gorgeous curves. There was something in Liya's current vibe that made Belle uncomfortable."

"Liya was out of place, not only among the Harvey family, but also with the solemn atmosphere in the Ink Garden."

Liya walked with her head held high towards Belle.

"Hi, there. We meet again, Liya smiled bewitchingly. She confidently stroked her blonde hair. Everything about her looked feminine and seductive." Belle frowned and looked at her coldly.

"Young Madam, Mr. Hudson told us to let her stay in the Ink Garden's guest room for the time being, Maud explained."

In the Ink Garden? Belle's heart sank. Her heart clenched upon hearing this. She felt chills running down her spine.

"Belle could put up with Liya living in Harvey Manor, but why must it be the Ink Garden? Belle couldn't help but to frown harder."

"Young Madam, why don't you suggest which guest room we should arrange for her stay in? Maud asked in a cautious manner after taking in Belle's expression."

"Liya's arrogant smile was wider as she noticed how disappointed, upset, and hurt Belle's expression was."

"Belle, I'm thankful that Grandma Sophia arranged this marriage for me. I wanted to take good care of her. Hence, I'm moving into the Ink Garden. I want to take care of her together with you. I hope you won't feel burdened and will take me in wholeheartedly, Liya said shamelessly as she stepped further towards Belle."

Belle felt sick as she saw those red lips.

"She took a step back. She didn't even want to face her. The strong perfume on Liya was of a luxury brand, but the fragrance of it was mixed with Liya's scent, and it upset Belle's stomach."

"Maud, you can take care of this on your own! Belle glanced at Maud, and then turned around as she headed back to the lounge."

She didn't want to spend another second looking at Liya's face.

"Just as she turned around, a force was pressed onto her arm, and Belle was forced to take a couple of steps backwards."

Belle turned her head around in shock.

"Liya was walking past her with her head held high. She had hit Jenny's body with her elbow. Although the impact had not been that strong, it had still caused Belle to step backwards, and as a result, gave Liya more room to walk past her."

"Young Madam, please watch out. Maud was anxious looking at the whole scene. Belle was pregnant and the entire Harvey family was extremely protective of her and the baby. Liya was being too rough with her. He gasped at the scene and at the same time was concerned about Belle's future. Liya was clearly not someone with an innocent mind. Even Hudson and Calvin could only end up compromising with her, let alone Belle. "

"Belle took two steps back and regained her balance, whereas Liya was already walking into the living room, with her high heels echoing along the corridor."

Belle held her stomach as pain flashed across her eyes. She bit her lips tightly in pain.

"There was a small garden pond outside, and it was filled with lotus leaves. The lotus flowers had blossomed and formed a beautiful scenery."

Belle sat blankly on the wooden bench by the pond. She was in low spirits.

"It was said that a woman would live a happy life once she had found a man who loved her wholeheartedly. However, why did it seem like she had to go through a lot to obtain her happiness?" Liya was moving in again.

"Instinctively, Belle felt that Liya's presence was even more terrifying than before."

"Moreover, Belle was in the most fragile state at this time. She couldn't even tell if Calvin's love for her brought her happiness or disaster."

"Belle, you're here. A gentle yet magnetic voice came from behind."

"Belle knew whose voice it was, but she didn't turn around. She just sat there with a blank expression."

Calvin walked over and sat down beside her. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders as he sighed deeply.

"Belle, I'm sorry. I was useless as I couldn't stop her from moving in, Calvin said in his low voice as he sighed."

"He was greatly concerned that this decision would hurt her. Belle was the biggest victim after all, with Liya moving in." Calvin hoped that Liya's stay wouldn't be too long.

"Belle silently turned around. Her crystal clear eyes were overshadowed as she murmured, ""Calvin, tell me why do you always attract so many women to you? Why must I put up with those women?"""" "There was a hint of grievance in her words. Her gaze was lacking in confidence, and filled with sadness."

Calvin felt as if a cat had scratched his heart with its claws.

"Honey, you're my only wife. We are living in modern times now. Second wives don't exist anymore. I don't want you to overthink things. I don't allow that, as you're the only woman I love, forever, Calvin said." "The sunlight was seeping in through the trees, shining upon Belle's face. There was sweat on her forehead and the tip of her nose. Her skin was shining under the sunlight. She snuggled into his embrace, like a rabbit afraid of the danger out there."

"Calvin held her tightly in his arms. He was reminded of how lively and cheerful Belle used to be, especially at that news conference. She was the world's top designer. Yet, she had faded away ever since she had decided to be with him. She was now lying in his arms, looking so fragile and lonely. Calvin's heart ached at this."

"How could he call himself a decent man if he couldn't even keep the woman he loved happy? Belle had gone through too much after being together with him, despite the fact that Calvin wanted nothing but the best for her. However, his efforts were clearly not effective at all with Belle looking so miserable. He might as well just quit everything and focus solely on his family."

"Belle, let's head back inside. It's not good for your health to stay outdoors, Calvin said as he lifted her up in his arms. Belle wrapped her arms around his neck and snuggled deeper into his chest. She finally felt secure. She then whispered in his ear, """Calvin, I only want our family to be happy together. I don't need to have anything else.""""

Calvin was startled. His heart ached and his face fell. He tightened his grasp around her as he walked into the Ink Garden's corridor. "Belle wrapped her hands around his neck, as tears flowed from her eyes. She buried her head in his chest." "They held onto each other intimately, all the way along the long corridor of the Ink Garden, until they reached their room."
