"Since Miss Dixon is also here, shouldn't we invite Rhys as well?" Maxim made a request.
"Yes, Rhys should come." Callum echoed, all casting their eyes towards Calvin's inscrutable face.
Calvin's long fingers tightened as he leaned slightly against the sofa, his eyes skimming over Belle's somewhat sulking face, no one could tell what his attitude was.
After a long time, "As you wish." He spoke indifferently to Alyssa.
Alyssa's face swept through a slight blush as she picked up the phone.
Belle clenched his hands. Calvin, do you have to do this to find it interesting?
Calvin laughed bitterly in his heart, reached out to take the cigar handed over by Maxim, lit it up and took a deep puff. He turned on the computer in the private room, tapped his finger on the keyboard and suddenly spoke, "The weather is fine today, but it looks like there might be rain tomorrow and the next day."
"I'm not afraid of rain, it's more exciting." Callum's spirits were high and his ambition was high.
The door to the private room was quickly pushed open and Rhys’ tall and long figure appeared in the doorway.
As he had just entered the door, his eyes glanced at Belle, who was sitting to the side, and flashed a bright light.
"Belle, you're here." He smiled slightly, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement and anticipation. He couldn't find her after leaving her from the ball last night, and wondered what would happen to her. He didn't expect Alyssa to follow him to A City, and he didn't expect her to show up at the ball last night, so he was thinking of finding a chance to explain to her!
Moreover, Calvin's attitude towards Belle last night was very unfriendly, which made him worry a lot.
Now finding that she was fine, he felt relieved.
With a gentle smile on his face, Rhys just nodded his head and greeted the crowd with pleasantries before walking towards Belle, not even glancing at Alyssa.
"Rhys, you're here!" Belle uttered with a smile. Calvin, you want to embarrass me, huh? I won’t let you get your way. I have nothing to do with Rhys, but you are trying to embarrass me at every turn, well, I have nothing to be afraid of.
"Rhys, sit down." She stood up and gave up her seat, her voice sweet and soft, as if she was speaking to Calvin on purpose.
Calvin's face instantly darkened and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down.
Trying to provoke me? I will give you a hard time. He gritted his teeth, his heart was annoyed, but his face was calm and quiet.
Rhys stood next to her, smiling warmly and lightly, shaking his head, "I like to stand." He said, "I like standing beside you."
Belle's eyes glowed, and she smiled happily.
Rhys was funny, and his words were always comforting, unlike Calvin, who had never said a single word pleased to her eyes.
After Rhys arrived, Belle's spirit relaxed a lot and there was a smile on her face.
Calvin stood up with a cold face.
The woman he had brought with him was talking and laughing with other men, not putting him in his eyes, which made him feel humiliated, but he knew that this was Belle blaming him for inviting Alyssa over, obviously taking revenge on purpose.
"Let's go." He stood up and took lead to walk towards the outside.
Alyssa stood awkwardly, a faint smile barely surfacing on her face.
Even Maxim could see the delicate relationship between them, he couldn't guess what was on Calvin's mind, but couldn't suppress the excitement inside.
If Calvin hated his ex-wife, but he took her with him, if he cared, he seemed indifferent when he saw Rhys and Belle being openly intimate, but from his experience, the more Calvin pretended to be indifferent, the more he might be caring. He could see that this even was to please Belle. When his wife gave Belle a slight look of disrespect, his eyes would have killed him!
This guy must still like his ex-wife, even though he's divorced, he's probably regretting it now, Maxim thought, almost laughing out loud.
Others might think that Calvin likes Lexie, but Maxim and he grew up together, he knew Calvin well.
Lexie was not Calvin’s cup of tea, it was just that Lexie had been pestering him, while Belle was the woman he liked, however, he did not see his heart.
His fingers holding the red wine glass are so beautiful, natural and noble. The scarlet liquid like pearls in the glass emits a trace of bright light, extremely dazzling, with his deep and gentle eyes, revealing his noble and uncommon identity just right, which really will make women fall for it.
For example, Alyssa, a woman who has come a long way to chase her fiancé without any complaints, how deep this love should be, and how commendable this courage is! Even if Rhys was cold towards her, she didn't have the slightest complaint.
She didn't think she could do it, and she didn't want to take away the man she loved!
When she was in love with Calvin, she only hid it in her heart. They were already married at that time, and she never dared to follow him openly, let alone pester him all the time, and it was even more impossible for her to chase her husband for thousands of miles. She had been waiting for him, if he came, she would be overjoyed, and if not, she just shed tears silently.
She had never been so bold as to fight or show her courage.
Even though she had loved Calvin for so many years, she would rather take the knife for him than tell him that she was willing to take the knife for him because she loved him.
Never would she boldly reveal it, because she was not confident enough and did not dare to be brave enough to say it, preferring to bury it forever in her heart and never be known by others.
"Belle, are you willing to listen to my explanation?" Rhys looked at Belle's flushed face, although with a light smile, it was not lively enough as usual, the light in her eyes was so forlorn and lonely. He didn't want to see such an expression, or his heart would ache, he really couldn't let her have a moment of sadness.
"What?" Belle was awakened by Rhys’ words and looked at him with a smile and a doubtful light in her eyes.
She hadn't even understood his words? He smiled bitterly, but he didn't care anymore, he didn't want to spend any more time like this, he wanted to tell her his mind.
"Belle," He cleared his throat and said very seriously, "I want to explain about my fiancée, please believe me, although I knew her before you, but that doesn't mean I will love her and marry her, I will take care of the marriage contract. I just want your trust now, can you understand me?"
He spoke in a low, magnetic voice that was very pleasant to the ear.
Belle was soon infected by his voice, his words were so moving, gentle and considerate, attentive and warm.
His fiancée was in the cabin, but he was confiding in her.
Her heart was haunted by emotion and her heart was warmed, but his words were so sudden that she did not know what to say.
