Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 22

"......" Rhys was slightly stunned, he rarely met competitors like Calvin. Calvin accepted his kind words and his toast, and really sat down, invariably giving him great pressure.

Rhys smiled politely at that moment, raised his glass and also drank it in one go, saying graciously, "I really didn't know that this is your restaurant, if I did, I should have invited you."

The wine in the glasses slipped into their respective mouths.

At this moment, they were peaceful and friendly, as if they were reunited as friends.

But Belle thought otherwise, and even felt an invisible pressure made her feel difficult in breathing.

She was tempted to get up and slip away.

But Calvin, as if reading her mind, stretched out a leg and crossed it in front of her, as if on purpose, but his eyes did not even look at her.

Belle was confused and wondered what he wanted.

Can she have a dinner with Rhys? She worked for Harvey Group, but so what? What was his business?

Of course, Belle is aware of the sensitivity of her job, after all, she has worked in two companies in the same industry and quite a rival, which would make people wary and think about it.

Sure enough, Calvin, who never poured wine for others of his own accord, unexpectedly poured wine for Rhys, completely ignoring Belle and seemingly forgetting the confrontation between them last night!

Since Calvin was polite with him, Rhys should be polite. And the atmosphere seemed cordial as they drank to each other.

Belle had never seen Calvin socialising in public before, and seeing them chatting about the usual topics and occasionally smiling politely, she felt relaxed.

Lexie sat across the table looking at them with a cold expression.

In public, with her beloved in attendance, she had to show respect. And this was Calvin’s restaurant, she can’t make a scene here.

"Mr. Atkinson, I heard that you are about to have a wedding." Calvin asked after downing several glasses of red wine in a row, seemingly carelessly.

Belle, who was cutting the steak with her head down, suddenly shook her body and with a bang, the fork in her hand fell off the plate!

Rhys is getting married soon? How come she didn't know.

Calvin's seemingly casual words fell on Belle's ears, and they were very harsh!

Ever since she met Rhys, she has never asked him about his personal affairs.

But today, when this statement was made, Belle was surprised! Although she had never been in love with Rhys, with her natural female sensitivity, she still felt sudden and even slightly disappointed.

After all, they talked about everything, and he didn't even tell her that he was getting married. And she didn't want to get too involved with a man who was about to get married, for she didn't want to cause too much gossip.

"Rhys, don't forget to invite me to the wedding." Belle's panic-stricken and lost look fell into Calvin's eyes, his heart was a sneer, but his face floated a 'sincere' smile, even the sound of Belle's fork dropping into the plate seemed not to hear.
