Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 53

"Then don't blame me for not keeping my word, I promised you, and now it's you who's giving up on your own." Calvin narrowed his eyes and looked at her as if he didn't believe her.

Belle was too lazy to bother explaining to him and stood up to clear the table.

The phone suddenly rang and Calvin took out his phone, walked to the side with a dark face.

"Calvin, where are you?" Lexie's pouty voice came out.

"What is it?" Calvin's tone carried with a hint of displeasure.

"Calvin, you promised me that you would take me out for a few days after the press conference, when are we going to set off? How about the Maldives?" Lexie sounded excited and expectant.

Had he promised her? Calvin froze, how could he not remember?

"Lexie, I have some things on my hands right now, let's wait until I'm done!" His frowned and his voice was indifferent.

"Calvin, today mum said she wants us to go back to Harvey Mansion for dinner, so come pick me up." Lexie was still unrelenting over there, "The press conference is done, and mum said you haven't been home for a few days and asked us to go home for a reunion today."

After the press conference, according to the established procedure, it was time for Calvin to discuss the marriage with her!

"Lexie, go by yourself, I have some things to do today, I'll go back when I'm done." Calvin answered carelessly, but his eyes fell on Belle who was walking this way, so he finished his quick perfunctory reply and hung up the phone.

Belle sat his movement, but she said blankly, “Mr. Harvey, I want to ask for a leave today.”

After saying that, regardless of whether he agreed or not, she walked towards her bedroom and prepared to change her clothes and go out.

"Wait, where are you going?" Calvin pulled her arm, his face full of displeasure, "I don’t agree!"

"Mr. Harvey." Belle shook off his hand and raised her voice, "Although I signed a one-year contract with your company, I have personal freedom, okay? If you were worried that I would betray the company's secrets at the beginning, what is there to worry about now that the press conference has been completed and the design has been done? Can’t I even go out?"

Belle's face was unpleasant and her voice was cold, "Also, Mr. Harvey, I am going to move out within these two days, within the contract period, if there is any work, you can let me know and I will try my best to complete it."

Hmph, want me to serve you? Dream on, go to your Lexie, these are the things she should be doing!

She finished solemnly, tossed her head and walked towards her bedroom.

Move out? No way!

As she had not walked into her bedroom, she slammed closed the door.

Calvin was dumbfounded. The scene of her staying with Rhys after she had moved out passed before his eyes, and an inexplicable feeling of annoyance surged through his heart.

Would he care about this?

Would he care so much about an unpleasant ex-wife? It was impossible.

He shook his head.

How could he possibly care about a woman like that?

But suddenly his heart felt like it had been hollowed out, empty and uncomfortable.

How dare you contradict me, you woman! Don't you take my words seriously?

Calvin snorted coldly, he just didn't like the feeling that this woman was fighting against him.

Want to move out? No way!

But he also knew very well that she had only signed a one-year contract, so he had no reason to force her to stay.

He sat down on the sofa in dismay.

Not long after, the door opened and Belle walked out.

She was wearing a scarlet mid-length skirt with a tight waist, with a pure white jacket over it. Her hair was tied in a ponytail, and the corners of her mouth slightly curved.

But, Calvin felt it dazzling.

"Which man are you going to seduce by dressing like this!" When Belle passed by Calvin, he spoke sourly and sneered.

"Has Calvin come yet?" Sophia's eyes suddenly opened, and the light in them was sharp, not at all like an old woman of ninety years old.

At that moment footsteps sounded.

"Madam, Calvin is here." Ruth's face showed a smile as she said softly.

"Okay." The old lady nodded, "Let him in."

Ruth agreed and quietly walked out.

Calvin was standing outside, his face had a hint of gloom and unease.

"Ruth, is grandma doing well?" He saw Ruth walking out and greeted her politely. He had just come out of the flat today when he received a call from Ruth, saying that the old lady was looking for him for something.

Normally, his grandmother would not look for him at random, and she had been living in seclusion for many years and had long since stopped asking questions about family matters, so what could she want from him at this time? He was uneasy at the thought that hadn’t seen his grandmother for a long time.

Deep down, he had great respect for his grandmother, who never blamed anyone easily and never forced anyone's will, but in his case it was a special case!

Four years ago, his grandmother had married Belle to him, and made his marriage unhappy.

At the time, he was bitter, angry, resentful, yet helpless!

He was defiant.

To this day, he is still distracted and agitated by that woman on a daily basis! It was all the aftermath of his grandmother's decision back then.

He had always thought that his grandmother was wise, but only that time, forcing him to marry Belle was not only unwise, it was simply a wrong decision in Calvin's opinion, and it was this wrong decision that led to the disgrace of the Harvey family three years ago. The Harvey Corp was being in turmoil, and his father was lying in hospital, and even Belle was unhappy, and it was because of this that he had rarely come to Ink Garden in recent years.

His heart was more or less discontented with his grandmother.

"Don't worry, she is in good health." Ruth smiled, "Go in, your grandma is waiting for you!"

"Okay, thank you, Ruth." Calvin's heart settled slightly as he walked towards the old woman lying inside the house.
