Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 618 A Terrible Fall

"Martin, I heard that Mr. Xanthe is Rosa's fiance and General Perry had already given his approval for them. Am I right? Carmella asked in envy as her gaze fell on the three of them. They looked great together with their good looks."

"Martin was already upset as he couldn't approach them. Upon hearing Carmella's question, he felt even worse. He then answered coldly, ""I don't know about that. Didn't hear about it.'

"Carmella replied with a smile, """'Mr. Xanthe and Rosa are both the children of famous generals in Capital City. They match well. I actually envy them a lot after hearing about their marriage."""" Martin felt even more terrible upon hearing her words. His face tensed as he lowered his head and walked in silence.

"Rosa was clearly steering away from him. She wouldn't let him approach her. No matter where they were headed to, even if they were taking some small breaks in between, Rosa would make sure to keep a distance away from him. On top of that, Rosa didn't even bother to smile at him."

"Martin was already dejected. With Sergio chuckling and laughing occasionally, he felt even more irritated."

"Harvey Manor was built to be a large-scale park. After walking around for a while under the hot sun, they were already drenched in sweat. There was a pavilion near them. Carmella then suggested they ride around on bikes. She said it would be more fun."

"Sergio, who was already in high spirits, immediately agreed. Rosa had always been cheerful and bright, and after taking a walk, she seemed to be in a better mood, and she nodded in agreement to Carmella's suggestion."

"Carmella, of course, was delighted to see that."

"Meanwhile, Belle smiled and said, """You guys have fun. I can't ride on a bike."""""

"Everyone knew that she was pregnant, and they didn't force her."

"Belle, I can take you on my bike instead. Sergio suggested. He didn't want Belle to be left alone."

"There's no need for that. I can take her with me. Martin rejected coldly on Belle's behalf. He was not that foolish not to see through Sergio's intention. Moreover, Belle was pregnant with a Harvey family baby. Martin wouldn't be at ease to let Sergio get close to her."

"Belle smiled lightly and said, """Martin, you should focus on accompanying Carmella today. She's our guest. I can tag along in the electric vehicle. You should join them for the bike ride."""""

She did not satisfy either of them and turned around to leave in an electric vehicle instead.

"Martin somehow agreed with her decision. It was the best choice for her to tag along in an electric vehicle. After all, it was more comfortable than a bike."

He glared at Sergio before leaving to choose his bike.

"Martin, I haven't ridden a bike for years. My skills might be a little rusty. How about you take me on this instead? Carmella eyed the couple's bike on the side and suggested to Martin."

"Martin glanced at Rosa, who was already on a bike and had left the scene."

Sergio also picked his bike and rode away.

"Left without a choice, Martin could only agree to Carmella's suggestion."

"It was obvious that Carmella didn't know how to ride a bicycle. She was clumsy. With Martin riding on the same bike as her, all she had to do was to sit in her seat. They rode downhill along a slope. It was refreshing as the breeze brushed past them."

"Ah, Carmella called out as she extended her arms and enjoyed the breeze."

"Martin had been riding around Harvey Manor on a bike since he was a child. It wasn't a difficult task for him. He also extended his arms as they rode down the slope. The bicycle headed downwards due to its momentum, and they were already ahead of Rosa, who was riding on her bicycle carefully."

Rosa was a woman after all. She was slightly afraid to be on a bike all by herself and pressed on the brake when going down the slope. Even Belle was already catching up to her pace in the electric vehicle. "Belle, where's Calvin? I haven't seen him in the past two days. Sergio approached Belle on his bike and asked casually."

"Belle's gaze darkened, but her expression was neutral as she replied calmly, """He has to wrap up some business deals in the company. He'd be occupied with that for a while."""" Sergio nodded.

"Sergio, I haven't seen you for the past few days. What were you up to then? Aren't you keeping an eye on the Harvey Group? How would you not know about Calvin's whereabouts? Belle asked without being subtle."

"Sergio looked a little embarrassed and replied with a smile, """I was back in Capital City. Something came up."

"Back in Capital City? Belle's heart trembled a little as she glanced at Sergio. Sergio was back in Capital City, and Calvin was there too. What happened to Calvin then? She hadn't received any phone call from him yet that day!"

"Sergio, you should accompany Rosa more. She's riding on her own with all these slopes. It wouldn't be easy for her. Keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't fall and injure herself, Belle said casually to Sergio as she stared towards Rosa's direction."

Sergio knew that Belle was finding an excuse to steer him away. He laughed helplessly and rode towards Rosa.

There was a long uphill slope afterwards.

Martin turned around and happened to see Sergio chatting happily with Rosa. He was jealous at that sight and felt terrible. He slowed down his pace as he wanted to wait for her.

It was strenuous to ride uphill. Rosa clenched her teeth and tried her best to step on her pedal. She looked ahead and saw Martin not too far away from her.

"Carmella was sitting on her seat, with her legs crossed and arms extended, as she enjoyed the breeze with a wide smile."

"Rosa, are you okay? Carmella asked with concern as she spotted Rosa making a lot of effort to step on her pedal. Rosa's cheeks were flushed, and she was already drenched in sweat."

"Sergio was riding beside her casually, and he couldn't bear seeing Rosa like that. She was his fiancé, after all. Sergio then said, """"How about you hop on my bike instead? This uphill slope seems too much for

you."""""

There was no backseat on his bike. The only way Sergio could take her with him was to let her sit in front of him.

Rosa would never want to sit with Sergio like that. She shook her head and continued stepping on her pedal in a stubborn manner. She wasn't bothered by anyone else. Sergio could only let her be. "Rosa, this uphill slope is a little too difficult to tread on. Why don't you hop on Mr. Xanthe's bike instead? Carmella advised. She was still sitting on her bike casually while enjoying the breeze. Sergio was Rosa's fiancé. Carmella couldn't understand why Rosa refused the idea."

"There's no need for that. I can do this, Rosa replied. She looked up and saw Carmella smiling brightly at her. Carmella was dressed in her own designs, and she looked elegant. She didn't even have to step on any pedal. She sat there looking all elegant and casual. Rosa somehow felt that her smile was too dazzling. She didn't like how confident Carmella was. She stepped even harder on her pedal, trying her best to get ahead of them, so that she wouldn't have to feel that annoyed again."

"Finally, she overcame the uphill slope, and they were now riding on a smooth path."

A victorious smile flashed across Rosa's face.

"Meanwhile, Martin slowed down and followed behind Rosa. It was as if he was trying not to provoke her. Carmella talked about the fashion trends and the overseas business operation with Martin along the way."

"Carmella was talkative but with a clear mind. She had a great judgement on the market. She was knowledgeable, and she knew how to grasp the targeted audience as well."

"Rosa wanted to stay away from them, but she was too exhausted. She could only let them follow behind her. She had no choice but to overhear their conversation. They were approaching yet another uphill slope. Rosa hadn't recovered from the previous uphill slope but she was once again stepping hard on her pedal."

"However, she couldn't get rid of them no matter what."

"Rosa, don't rush yourself. Belle was also following behind in her electric vehicle. She saw Rosa acting stubbornly and stepping hard on her pedal again despite not fully recovering from the previous uphill slope. Belle was concerned about that. She was about to ask Rosa to join her in her electric vehicle, but she gasped instead."

"Rosa was too focused on stepping on the pedal that she didn't even notice the ground they were riding on. Her bike ran into a rock, and she was thrown off balance. She didn't have much energy to steer into another direction, or perhaps she was too exhausted and annoyed to do so. Together with her bike, she crashed aside."

"Rosa, watch out. Belle gasped. She couldn't reach out to her in time, and could only see Rosa falling down with her bike."

"With a loud thump, Rosa crashed to the ground with her bike."

"Ouch, Rosa let out a cry as she lay on the ground. There was a great surge of pain spreading to her torso from her leg. She couldn't get up."

"Rosa, Martin gasped. He had been watching her closely, but she didn't bother to cast a glance at him. He felt terrible about that. Upon hearing Belle's cry, his heart clenched as Rosa crashed to the ground right in front of him. The loud thump and Rosa's cry almost stopped his heart."

He quickly stepped on the pedal to get closer to her. He jumped off the bike and ran towards her.

"Rosa, are you okay? Is it painful? Martin asked nervously as he lifted up the bicycle that had fallen on top of her. He carried her in his strong arms and let her rest on his knees as he sat on the bicycle." "Rosa's face was a little pale, and her forehead was covered in sweat. She seemed as if she was in pain and that broke Martin's heart."

"Rosa, you should be more careful. Sergio also rushed towards them. He frowned at the sight and said, """"How can you injure yourself when riding a bicycle? Can't you watch out for danger? You should stop riding the bike if you don't know how to.""""

"Shut up, Sergio. Martin was furious upon hearing that. How could he still be blaming her when she was in such great pain? He didn't even bother to ask about her. If Rosa was to marry him, then what would her future look like?"

"Rosa, are you okay? Is your injury serious? Belle rushed over in her electric vehicle. She saw Rosa lying in Martin's arms with her lips pursed and sweat covering her forehead. Judging by how pale Rosa looked, Belle could tell that her injury was not a light one. It was a cement road, after all, and it was under the hot sun. How could Rosa be fine after the crash? Belle then said to Martin, """Send her to the medical room right now."

"Martin finally came back to his senses. With Rosa still in his arms, he headed towards the electric vehicle."

Carmella no longer insisted on the bicycle ride after witnessing Rosa's fall. She also hopped on the electric vehicle. The whole group then headed to the medical room.

"Look at the bruises on her knees and also the huge hole in her pants. It must be a terrible fall to look like this, Belle said nervously."

"In the medical room, the doctor was busy cleaning up her wounds. The doctor was about to rip the fabric covering her knees, but her exposed flesh was already attached to the fabric. There was blood everywhere. It was the same situation as the wounds on her arm as well. Rosa couldn't help but to cry out of pain."

"Martin's heart ached at that scene. He could only hold her hands in his. His expression was gloomy, and he didn't say a word at all."

The doctor took about an hour to clean her wounds and apply some medicine. Everyone was looking over at the whole process as they started discussing that.

"Rosa's eyes were filled with tears, and she gritted her teeth to endure the pain."
