The phone rang, and Calvin picked it up, his brows knitted.
"Come home with me now." He hung up the phone and ordered decisively towards Belle.
"No, Calvin, I want to keep watch over him, he was injured for me, I want to take care of him in the hospital." She shook her head desperately, saying it over and over again.
Calvin's face turned pale and he reached out to take her.
Belle tilted her face up and looked at him pitifully, her bright, helpless eyes swirling with softness that hit him straight in the heart.
His heart softened and he dared not use his brute force to conquer her.
After a long time, he heaved a sigh, "Then you keep watch over him, take your rest, and remember you are pregnant."
After instructing this with a black face, he turned around and walked out the hospital.
In the hall of Ink Garden, the doors and windows were closed and not a single servant could be seen.
As Calvin approached, his brows knitted lightly and he pushed the door, but it was silent inside.
It was Grandma who had asked him to come.
How come there wasn't a single maid in sight, what had all those people been doing?
"Ahem." He coughed softly, puzzled.
The door to the lounge opened quietly.
Ruth greeted him from inside.
"Young Master, please come inside." Ruth smiled and invited softly in a very polite manner.
Calvin nodded, he had not seen his grandmother since the last time she asked him to take up his responsibilities as a man and pay for his mistakes, even when he came to beg for a visit, she avoided it, today, she was finally going to see him.
He walked in slowly.
The woolen blanket in his grandmother's bedroom was soft and comfortable, but Calvin felt a sense of unreality, as if he was stepping on a cloud, his body was unstable, and his heart was even more unstable.
Tristan had been taken away.
What did this mean for the Harvey family?
To outsiders, it was a failure.
After all, the two families would be married, and at this time Tristan had an accident, in the hearts of others, that was the Harvey Corp lost a shelter umbrella.
But in the hearts of the Harvey family, it was different.
Sophia was still reclining in her chair, her eyes closed, her hair neatly combed, her spirits looking good, her face very rosy.
"Grandma." Calvin approached, speaking softly.
Things had come to this point, and he still couldn't dissolve the marriage, could he only marry Lexie?
"So, Calvin, an adult should think twice before doing anything, and never invite any trouble at will. Many rich boys are out spending their time and having fun, but they have never knocked up woman, while you, you are not inviting ordinary people. As long as Lexie is still carrying your child, even if Tristan falls from his position, you will still have to have marry her." Sophia declared in a serious and very solemn tone.
Right now, after Tristan had been taken away, there was the fear that he would speak to the media on impulse about breaking off his engagement with Lexie, and if that was the case, it would only invite criticism, and would furthermore give him the image of a snob.
In order to break off the engagement, there must be a clear and just reason. The Harvey family's descendants have love and righteousness, and must not do such a nasty thing. Back then, she asked Calvin to take responsibility, not because of Tristan's power, and even more so now.
The roots of Harvey Mansion that had not fallen in a hundred years, that was forged by good reputation and integrity and morality.
She must not have the effort ruined.
"Grandma, no, I have a reason." When Calvin understood what Sophia meant, he immediately argued loudly, "I can never marry Lexie, that would be an insult to our Harvey family. I am not the father of her child, I have never touched her, therefore I will never marry her."
Calvin declared in a haughty and righteous manner.
"Is that really the case?" Sophia's eyes lit up, Calvin's words brought her hope, but she still asked in a bit of disbelief.
"Yes." Calvin once again affirmed.
After he finished, he explained in detail what had happened before.
"Calvin, good boy, I'm sorry for your suffering." She took his hand tightly, her heart was very relieved, "As long as the child in her belly is not yours, then everything will be fine. You have finally stood up for yourself, that's right. Although our family can't fail to others, we must not let others cheat us. This matter will turn around, take your time. Today I called you here, first is to remind you not to do things to ruin your reputation, and second is to ask you to find out some things. These days, Albie will stay with Finley to take over some things, and to find out the family affairs of our Harvey Mansion. We will let go an evil person, but never wrong any good person."
