Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 785 Keeping A Distance

Belle and Steffan were both stunned!

"There, there, Mr. Tangger. Tell us what we can do for you. Even if we can't help you, at least we can listen to your troubles." Belle knelt down and tried to comfort him.

"You two, it's okay." After a while, Zevulon dried his tears, stood up, and staggered towards the bedroom.

"I'm going to have a rest. Both of you can go back home."

When he just walked towards the bedroom, he held the door frame, turned back, and hiccuped as he said, "Oh, by the way, don't worry. I will have Melvin come to your company to work with you. If the car designed by Melvin and Dory is truly a perfect combination, then it will truly benefit the company. Such an opportunity can't be missed."

After saying this, Zevulon continued wobbling forward. He was only a few steps in when he flopped himself on the bed and lay still.

When Belle and Steffan walked in, he was already snoring.

Steffan shook his head with disapproval. After cleaning him up with warm water, he covered him with a quilt. He then turned off the lights and walked out.

In fact, Zevulon had led a tough life all these years. According to Steffan's memories, Zevulon had always been a loner, with not a woman in sight throughout his whole life. But that day on Melvin's birthday, he had seen a brand new Zevulon Tangger. He had thought that things would change, but then it seemed that it was not the case.

When they came out of Zevulon's residence, it was already late in the evening. He and Belle habitually came to the river to take a walk.

The two of them walked side by side, the chilly evening breeze blowing in their faces.

After a while, he asked in a seemingly casual way, "Dory, you've known the truth about your own identity, haven't you?"

Calvin and Belle were not ordinary people. As long as they looked into Belle's background on the Internet, they could easily find out. This was an undeniable fact. Of course, he didn't want to hide anything from her. In reality, when he had gone to the office that day, he already saw her researching on her computer.

Speaking of this, Belle's mood became heavy. Calvin's face flashed in front of her, and her heart inexplicably wrenched.

"Indeed, Calvin's wife seemed to be an exact mold as me. I don't think this matter is false," Belle replied, nodding. The light in her eyes was glistening. She already admitted to the fact that she was his wife. Steffan's heart capsized. He looked back at her and smiled. "Aren't you surprised? Your husband turned out to be such an excellent person. Are you delighted?"

Belle's eyes were deep as she gazed at the stillness of the river.

A thin layer of ice was slowly forming on the surface of the water. The water seemed to be reflecting a cold frosty light. Belle looked at the light reflection, shivering from the coldness.

She had fallen off the cliff like a nightmare on a dark night. It was a bottomless pit beneath her. She felt dizzy and could only feel the terrifying coldness. The coldness engulfed her blood and seeped through her bones. It was something she would never forget. Just reminiscing about it would make her feel cold and afraid.

Why did she have this kind of feeling? She reasoned that it was because she had fallen into the water before.

"My past is a blank slate. Even if I acknowledge that he is my husband, I still want to know about my past life. Mr. Tangger is right, marriage is not a trifling matter." Belle thought for a while, but deep down she was extremely troubled.

When she did her research, she was able to obtain the basic information about her and Calvin. Life after marriage was incomprehensible. These introductions were just basic personal information. The positive things might be recorded in it, but the bad sides were never exposed. She decided to calm down before making any rash decisions.

Where was the child?

This was the real reason there was an empty feeling inside her heart. Without including the child in her belly when she had fallen into the water, it was also noted on the internet that she and Calvin still had another child.

"Belle, you can't be sloppy in your lifetime. I will respect any choice you make, to pursue the right choice that your heart tells you to." After a moment of silence, Steffan said rationally, and then smiled quietly, "Of course, I have never complained about you. I like your character and your talent. If you can give me a chance, then I will cherish you more."

In the past two days, he had sent some people to look through some old newspapers about A City. He read about Calvin's and Belle's past life carefully. From some promiscuous news, it seemed that the title of 'Mrs. Harvey' was not easily accepted. Just a little more than a year after their wedding, the rumor about Calvin allegedly marrying his mistress had come out. In addition to the accident that had happened in Harvey Manor, such rumors were not necessarily favorable towards a woman's reputation.

Although he loved Belle and was moved by her talent, he looked at the issue from her perspective and supported her to make her own decision after she figured everything out. He would not stop her, no matter what choice she made. However, if Calvin just wanted to take her away, out of fame and to protect his reputation, then Steffan would not leave her alone.

"Steffan, thank you." Steffan's words sounded more like a big brother's care towards his little sister. Belle was moved and spoke with a smile.

Steffan smiled and said, "Don't mention it. I also have my own selfish motives. I have said before that it is rare for me to fall in love with a woman throughout my life. Mr. Tangger said that true love is very valuable. If you meet one, you should cherish them. I will give you a chance, and at the same time, also give myself a chance."

Steffan said these words while laughing. It seemed that he was teasing her, but at the same time, his words also had a deep meaning. Belle glanced at him with a heavy mood. She understood that Steffan was being serious. If she really was Calvin's wife, then it meant that she was a married woman by law, and she should not be giving Steffan any hope.

They should keep a distance from each other.

If she kept up with this attitude, giving him mixed signals, then this would take a toll on Steffan in the long run, which would add to her guilt.

It was a good thing that he had saved her. If she became his enemy just because she floundered when dealing with her relationship issues, and if he could not even be her friend, then it would be a great pity. "Dory, let's go to a cafe and sit down. It's too cold." He proposed with concern when he observed that Belle's face was turning pale and her body seemed to be trembling.

Belle assumed that he still had some things to say to her, and it was not something that could be clearly explained in a few words, so she simply nodded and agreed.
