Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 836 Could Barely afford To Survive, How Am I Supposed To Get A Laptop

Paige felt furious about what happened. She tried to cool herself down with the exquisite fan in her hand but to no avail. Then, she pulled out her phone and called her daughter-in-law. However, her son picked up the call instead.

"Mom, how come you're calling so Tristany in the morning? What's wrong?" Calvin slept late the night before. Although he had taken good care of himself, despite being middle-aged, he was as fit as a young man. He still had urges in bed as usual.

Calvin had just woken up from his sleep when he picked up the call and it was Paige's call that woke him up. He was worried that the sound would wake Belle up, so he quickly picked up the phone instead. Paige was stunned, and she pulled a long face. "What do you mean? Are you complaining about the fact that I'm calling you?"

"How could that be? I asked you that because I just thought that it must be an important matter for you to call at this hour. Who angered you? Where's Jepherson? Isn't he with you?"

"He was the one who angered me. Can you pay more attention to your son and teach him some manners?" Paige complained. Calvin was surprised because Paige had always been very protective of Jepherson.

"What's the matter? What did he do this time?" Calvin said as he moved his hand to Belle's face. He caressed her face with the back of his fingers and moved her hair out of her face. There were barely any signs of aging on Calvin's and Belle's faces. Belle's hair were soft like how it was when she was young.

The cover was pulled downwards and Belle's smooth and fair shoulders were revealed.

She was lying in bed without clothes on. As the covers were pulled downwards, her beautiful back was shown. There were faint kissing marks on her back and she looked breathtaking.

It had been years since they had been on a honeymoon together, therefore Calvin was extremely passionate.

When Calvin noticed the kiss marks on Belle's back, he couldn't help but to lean in to kiss her back again. Belle was at her limit and she would be risking her life if they continued. Therefore, she chose to play dead.

Calvin felt bad for Belle, so he pulled the covers back up to cover her and focused on his phone call with Paige.

"It's about the engagement of course. I've already told you many times that you should urge Jerry in this matter but you didn't bother with it. None of you listened to me."

"Now, things are awkward with Deanna from the Atkinson family. Why didn't you settle this matter earlier? There's no point waiting on it."

"Didn't we agree to talk about this matter only after Jepherson graduates from school? Despite your interest for Deanna to be with Jepherson, you know the rules of the Harvey family, which was to accept polygamy. Rhys is not going to agree with that." Calvin had always wanted to remove this crazy rule of the Harvey family because it was allowing men to have fun behind their wives' backs and also putting women in unnecessary pain.

Unfortunately, it was a difficult mission. Calvin had brought up the issue many times but Paige had always disagreed with it. It was obvious what intentions she had in mind.

Although she had no intention to make him marry again, she wanted to keep the rule, so that she could have a way to upset Belle or warn her.

Calvin didn't need anyone else other than Belle, and he didn't wish for his son to have more than one wife either.

A man should be loyal to one woman in his life.

Calvin wanted to use this as an excuse to get rid of this rule in the Harvey family. This way, the Harvey family could avoid affairs from happening under the excuse of passing on the family name. It's a modern society and for a man to have more than one wife legally, no one from a decent family would allow their daughter to be involved in that.

Let alone Rhys.

Lottie would cut ties with them.

"How do you know that Rhys would disagree with it? It doesn't matter if he does because his daughter would agree. Deanna likes Jerry." Paige disagreed on removing the Harvey family rule and Hudson had no say in it.

Calvin knew that Paige would say so, therefore he didn't intend to bring up the fact that Jepherson saw Deanna merely as a younger sister, and not as a potential partner.

"If that's the case, then we can still wait till after they graduate."

"He's working right now. Don't use their graduation as an excuse to shut me up. I know what you're thinking. You say you will let the children choose for themselves, but I'm telling you, don't forget that your and Belle's marriage was arranged by your grandmother and you two are happier than ever. This is the proof. What else do you have to say?" Paige brought up his grandmother to pressure Calvin, but he was unaffected by it.

"But they haven't even graduated from school yet. Furthermore, Belle and I are abroad and you'll have to wait for us to get back before you could arrange the marriage.'

"Deanna has just entered university, and it is her first year there. If we want to ask for Deanna's hand in marriage, then it doesn't seem like Rhys would agree to it."

"You two should come back now then. You are a mature couple, you can travel anytime." Paige was satisfied with Belle as her daughter-in-law, but she didn't like how Belle was always agreeing to Calvinon's arrangements.

She should not obey him blindly. What if one day he were to ask her to end her own life? What would become of her by then?

"Belle is asleep. I'll talk to her about it once she wakes up." Calvin brought Belle up in the conversation. Although Paige wanted Calvin to wake Belle up, she couldn't bring herself to say so because Belle had always treated her extremely well.

"Fine, let her rest then. Ask her to call me back once she's up. It's about ten o'clock over here, what time is it over there?"

"It's about four o'clock."

"You should rest then." Paige hung up the phone. She thought about it, and she then stood up from the chair. She couldn't wait for Jepherson to come home, so she decided to do it herself. Paige brought some help along and visited the Atkinson family.

There was no one at the Atkinson family residence other than Lottie. She said a lot of kind words, but she didn't bring up her daughter during the conversation. Lottie thought that Deanna was still young, and they should leave the topic for the future.

In fact, both of the families knew it very well that Paige couldn't seem to see the issue clearly.

That time, Rhys had become more determined about his decision. Jepherson was a great kid, but he wouldn't rush his daughter to marry into the Harvey family. The Harvey family had a huge business and tons of rules. Rhys had not forgotten about what happened to Dory in the past.

Therefore, this marriage wasn't a good idea.

Raeleigh rushed back to her dorm after she got down from the car. Nobody noticed her coming in since there were too many people in school. It was Tristany in the morning and nobody possibly knew where she went. She could have just gone out for a walk for some fresh air.

Raeleigh entered the room and acted calm. She saw Scarlette gaming on her laptop. She fell into a daze and then quickly locked their dorm room.

Scarlette yawned and looked at her. "You're back?"

She looked exhausted, but she didn't stop what she was doing.

Raeleigh sat down and looked at Scarlette's laptop. She asked, "Did you log in to my account and let the game run?"

"What else? Your ranking in the game is too low and if it remains this way, when will you be able to earn money off of it? Therefore, I helped you. But remember to log out from your game the next time. Why don't you get a laptop with a fingerprint lock? All laptops have that now, and you know our major. We have to store our designs in our laptops in the future. Aren't you afraid that someone will try to steal your designs one day?" Scarlette said in a straightforward manner.

Raeleigh was lost in thought. In fact, she knew these things very well. However, how could she afford a laptop with a fingerprint lock when she could barely sustain her daily life?
