Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 33

Belle stood with her back against the door, lost in thought!

Lexie's father is the deputy mayor of A City, powerful and influential, and Paige also sees this in her, but Belle is nobody.

Her mother's hollow eyes occurred to her, and she realized that she hadn't been home for days.

It's time to go home for a visit.

After Calvin left, the large house seemed even emptier, extremely cold and silent.

With mixed feelings, Belle didn't have the heart to work anymore and packed up her things and walked outside.

The night breeze was blowing, which cleared her mind, but a sad smile rose to her face

When she returned home, her mother was already asleep, so Belle tiptoed in, afraid of waking her mother.

"Belle?" Her mother's voice came out clearly from the bedroom.

Belle was taken aback, so her mother was still awake.

She walked softly inside.

Kate was lying on the bed, draped in a coat. The room was dimly lit and her face could not be seen clearly, but the muddy light in her eyes brightened up when she saw Belle.

"Belle, why are you back so late, where is Calvin?" Kate beckoned with her hand towards Belle who was standing in the doorway, looking behind her with anticipation in her eyes.

Belle walked over with a forced smile, “Calvin gets stuck in the company, I'm also very busy. I've come to see you now, because I will begin to be occupied from tomorrow, I may not be able to see you for the next few days."

Kate's face is somewhat white, her hair seems to have gone gray overnight, not young anymore. Her legs have been amputated, so she could only lie in bed.

"Belle, did something happen between you and Calvin?" Kate's lips trembled, her heart was a huge panic and unease. She was not a fool, since Belle married into the Harvey family, Calvin had never paid a visit, though Calvin’s grandmother would gather the two families for a meal every year.

Every time his excuse was that he was busy at work.

Even sitting together at dinner, she could see that she and Calvin were not close to each other, but after all, the Harvey family had not been less courteous, so she couldn't say anything!

Three years ago, after the Harvey family's accident, her daughter had gone to America for further study. Although the elders of the two families would still get together for dinner, the cold words and extremely indifferent attitude of Paige was harsh to bear. And in the past three years, the Harvey family had never come to door, so she knew there must be something fishy.

Every time she asked Belle, Belle kept silent.

She knew that there had always been a problem between them, but she dare not ask, for Belle was her only daughter!

Her heart aches every time she thinks about it. She can allow things to happen to her and to her husband, and she can grit her teeth and get through it, but she can't tolerate her only daughter being unhappy.

"Mom, don’t think too much. Calvin is busy with the press conference every day now, I'm working with him every day." Belle replied.

Although she did not show her pain in front of Belle, but Belle was her daughter, she could feel the pain and anxiety of Belle.

But Belle thought that she had to hide the fact that she had been divorced with Calvin.

"Mom, look, this is the phone Calvin gave me." Belle bent down and wrapped her arms around her mother's shoulders to deliberately show off, holding back the throbbing pain inside.

When Kate saw the phone in her daughter's hand, she was a bit skeptical.

Only husband could give away such an expensive phone to his wife.

"Mom, look, this is me and Calvin at work together, now Calvin is busy, he will visit you later when he has time. I will also be very busy during this time." Belle deliberately took a few videos of her working with Calvin and showed them to Kate.

In order not to make her suspicious, she insisted on going home every day except for the days when she had just come home from the hospital. These days she deliberately did not go home every day because she was worried that her mother would be sad and upset if her mother knew about her divorce from Calvin.

As soon as she got through this, she will take her mother and emigrate to America before telling her mother the truth.

Her phone rang, Belle scrambled to answer it with one hand holding the fruit.

"Hello." blurred out Belle with a grape still in her mouth.

"Where are you?" The low magnetic voice carried a hint of huffing, as if in reproach. Belle's heart panicked and the fruit in her hand fell onto the bed.

"Have you forgotten our agreement, have you forgotten the contract? It's only been a few days and you can't hold out?" Calvin sneered at the other end of the phone, his tone odd.

Belle staggered, remembering the damn contract.

But wasn't he with Lexie's parents? Wasn't he supposed to be spending the night with Lexie?

Had he been back to his flat!

Belle was surprised.

"I called home and no one answered. Don't think that just because I'm out, you can do whatever you want behind my back." Calvin continued to chastise gloomily over the phone.

So that's how it was, Belle's face was unpleasant.

"Is it Calvin looking for you?" Kate's eyebrows were stretched out and she gave a smile with relief in her heart.

Seeing her mother's delighted smile, Belle nodded with a smile, her heart full of bitterness, "Calvin, I'll be right back, you can sleep first."
