"That year, Belle had nowhere to go. By using the internet search engine, she'd learnt that there was a Fisher Town in S City, where there was a poor school. So, she headed there with a train and began her fresh, half-year-long life. Jerry was born in that small town."
"Fortunately, she had some money and also brought along with her the dividends from her cars that were paid to her by the Atkinson Corp and the Harvey Group."
That school was not pleasant-looking at all. It was too shabby.
"She had used a portion of her savings to renovate the school. After Jerry was born, she had been teaching at the school for free, until the unprecedented earthquake that left her bewildered!"
Seeing those children buried under the classrooms with her own eyes was a torture.
"After Calvin's arrival, she'd deliberately smeared her face with ash to make it difficult to recognize her. She'd kept him company until he saved the children, but she soon left overnight."
"When the earthquake happened, she had been in her own home. It was the best and the only well-preserved building in the town. At that time, she'd thought of the children in the school and hired a nanny to take care of Jerry at home. Then, she would rush to the school."
"After rescuing the children, she had been worried that Calvin would recognize her. So she'd taken Jerry to an earthquake rescue shelter and left Fisher Town on the same night."
"After arriving in the county town, she'd taken a bus to the train station. Standing at the train station, she didn't know where to go. So, she boarded the last train in a daze. After arriving at the last station, she'd alighted from the train. Then, she'd wandered to Wullen Town and finally fell in love with the place. She'd bought a courtyard house to settle down and finally brought her mother here."
"Rhys was really thoughtful. He had installed prosthetics for Kate, and her body had also recovered very well, which made Belle very grateful."
Marry would be here in a few days too.
"These days, something had come up with Marry's family and she'd left for A City in advance. In a few days, she would come over to take care of her mother. With the help of Marry, her days would be much better."
"Just as everything was about to settle down and she was preparing to live a peaceful life, Calvin appeared again!"
"She closed her eyes and lay down on the desk, weak and depressed."
She almost couldn't imagine what kind of trouble his appearance would bring her this time!
"That year, when she'd left A City in a hurry, she didn't know that Calvin had cancelled his wedding with Lexie. In her subconscious mind, irrespective of the state of his marriage, as long as Lexie had his child, this would be a legitimate marriage. He had to shoulder the responsibility for it."
"The truth was, in order to protect Lexie's reputation, Calvin did not disclose the fact that the child Lexie was pregnant with was actually Bill's. Therefore, very few people were aware of this news, not to mention Belle, who had been staying in an isolated village thousands of miles away."
I won't go back with him! I refuse to be a mistress! I definitely won't live such a miserable life in A City with Jerry! she thought.
"Even if she was deeply in love with Calvin, she would not give in. This was her bottomline."
Jerry couldn't fall into the hands of a wicked woman like Lexie!
"She was a mother, and that meant that she would do anything she could to protect her own child."
"At the moment, she couldn't act rashly. She could only deal with Calvin in a sneaky way!"
She didn't go to school the next day!
"With Calvin's help, the problem between the petrochemical factory and the school had been reduced to the inconsequential, and there was no need for her to fret over it!"
The most important thing right now was to ensure that Jerry wouldn't be taken away by him!
"Since Jerry had stayed up for too long, he cried again and again. The next day, Belle woke up very late. At noon, she coaxed Jerry into a nap. When they woke up, it was already three o'clock!"
This was bad!
That son of a b*tch Calvin had asked her to come to the hotel to meet him at three o'clock.
She was late!
"In a hurry, she scrambled from the bed and dashed out."
"She couldn't afford to offend him right now, for if she did, she wouldn't be able to get out of this easily."
She must've owed something to that d*mned Calvin in her past life!
At Sheraton Hotel.
"After rousing from his nap, Calvin glanced at his phone. It was already three o'clock and there was no sign of that woman's arrival."
He couldn't help feeling anxious.
Could it be that she had risked everything to run away again?
Or did she never intend to go back with him? His words had flown past her head!
"Thinking of this, Calvin felt that his heart was beginning to ache."
"He woke up, washed his face with cold water, rubbed his temples with his fingers, and felt a dull pain in his head."
"D*mned woman, how dare you disobey me! he muttered in his mind. "
"Just after he paced around the room a few times, he heard footsteps outside, and then the doorbell rang."
Calvin's heart skipped a beat. He sprung up quickly and saw a red face through the peek-hole. She was gasping for breath and her forehead was covered in sweat. It was obvious that she had rushed over.
The corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile. His heart became bright and sunny in an instant!
"He tidied up the pajamas he was wearing and deliberately asked in a deep voice, ""Who is it?"""
