Calvin drove his car down the path all the way into the garage.
"Calvin, it's so beautiful here, why didn't you tell me earlier so I could stay in for the weekend?" A clear female voice accompanied by giggles came from the garage, becoming clearer and clearer.
Belle's heart sank down, her intuition told her that Calvin had brought a woman back with him!
The eyes were soon shaken by a scene of such beautiful harmony.
The sweet and innocent looking girl took Calvin's wrist, her face was a bright and sunny smile, her body was propped up on his arm. Calvin didn't refuse and put his arm around her shoulder affectionately, the two of them laughed all the way here.
Closer, Belle saw that the girl was about twenty years old, her skin smooth, her big eyes shining brightly with a playful smile, her soft straight hair draped over her shoulders, wearing sportswear, giving people a refreshing and comfortable feeling, which was different from Lexie.
Obviously Calvin's doting on her is much more revealing, the smile on his face is vivid and charming, the girl resting on his arm is not the least bit unnatural.
The two of them were talking and laughing and sinking completely into their world as a couple.
When he passed not far from Belle, Calvin didn't even look at her and went straight into the living room with the girl on his arm.
Belle stood dumbfounded until their figures had entered the living room and were out of sight before she withdrew her gaze.
She saw clearly that this girl was the same one she had seen when she met Calvin on the street in Los Angeles more than a year ago, and that girl had appeared in front of her holding his hand like this, and they had passed by her laughing, while she was just standing dumbfounded.
Despite how much she needed his help at the time, she did not dare to come to him when Calvin was still her husband in name and in law.
Back then he was holding a woman's hand in front of her every other day, it's not at all surprising that it would be like this now!
There was a sad smile all over her face.
All the warmth and good feeling that had just risen for this place had disappeared, and she felt only an inexplicable coldness, not wanting to go back to the living room for fear of seeing the intimate images of them which would hurt her heart.
She was ready to get over him, but the reality turned out to be even crueler.
She could see that this girl was different from any of Calvin's previous women, this girl was pure, beautiful and worshipped Calvin from her heart. She should like Calvin very much, which could be seen from her eyes.
It turned out that he had come to America for her.
"Mrs. Harvey, it's time to eat." While Belle was rambling on, Sadie walked out and invited her in for dinner.
"Oh," Belle returned to her senses and nodded, "Sadie, I'm not Mrs. Harvey, please don't call me that, I'm just the vice president of Harvey Corp, so call me Miss Morris, or it will cause misunderstanding."
Belle thought it would hurt that girl’s feeling.
Sadie froze in shock and immediately understood, with a difficult look on her face, but she didn't understand Young Master's business, so she just nodded.
"You guys eat first, I'm not hungry yet." She gave a faint smile and said to Sadie.
Sadie said cautiously, "Miss, it was Young Master who asked me to come and invite you."
Calvin was deliberately to find fault with her, to see her make a fool of herself, she thought. The image of his face last night, leaving her in anger came to mind, until then, they did not say another word, even just now he ignored her.
Standing still, she did not want to go in at all.
But Sadie stood still too.
There was no choice but to follow Sadie inside.
On the sofa in the luxurious living room, Calvin is next to the girl, head to head, the two of them holding a tablet in their hands, playing a game.
"Come on, come on, kill it, wow, I won." The girl cheered up and hugged and kissed Calvin's cheek, "Calvin, you lost, I finally won and defeated you, yay, so awesome."
"Don't get cocky, girl, I'll defeat you later." Calvin was full of pampering and touched her hand with his, obviously he lost to her on purpose to make her happy now.
Belle followed over and took a seat on the other side of the table, trying to avoid facing them directly.
"Calvin, there are honey balls, it's been a long time since I've had them, it is great." Hattie raised her eyes and saw a plate of tiny, crystal-clear balls, and squealed with joy.
This plate of honey ball was placed right in front of Belle.
Belle picked up her bowl, gazing at the plate of balls placed in front of her, and swallowed. There were honey balls during the festive season in A City, made of glutinous rice flour, sweet and creamy, she always liked them.
Hattie was very excited to see this food with the taste of home, having eaten Western food at school all year round, and her appetite was whetted.
"Then have more." Calvin smiled warmly and stood up, bringing the honey balls directly in front of Belle and placing them in front of Hattie, before picking up his own chopsticks and taking one, "Here, open your mouth, I'll feed you."
"Okay." Hattie smiled with a happy face and obediently opened her mouth, not caring if the chopsticks were the same as Calvin's. She opened her mouth and bit into the pill and ate it, her face full of enjoyment.
"Thank you, Calvin, you are so kind to me." She spoke sweetly as she ate, smiling delicately.
With a warm smile, Calvin chucked up a few more and fed them to her mouth one by one.
Belle bowed her head and ate her rice, her eyelids astringent and heavy, not daring to raise her eyes to watch them show their love.
Throughout the meal, it was almost like the two of them were talking, and Belle kept her head down, just sullenly ate without saying a word.
"Calvin, take me to buy clothes and take me to eat delicious food tomorrow." Hattie pestered Calvin and pouted.
"Okay." Calvin nodded with agreement.
"Belle, you should come with us too, I want to buy clothes, I want your help, okay?" Hattie suddenly twisted her face towards Belle, looked at her, saying seriously, her eyes full of sincere begging.
Belle was trying hard to stay away from them, but she didn't expect Hattie to ask her to go shopping with her.
