Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 61

"Wait." Rhys took advantage of the fact that none of them had followed him yet and walked quickly in front of Calvin, staring at him with stern eyes, "I don't care what you said to Belle and what tactics you took, since she chose you, I respect her choice, but if you embarrass her, and she had a bit hard time within these three days, I will not let you off the hook."

Calvin laughed out, turned his head to Belle and asked, "Belle, shouldn't you explain to Mr. Atkinson whether I have forced you?"

Belle's face turned white and forced a smile towards Rhys, "Rhys, I made my decision, it has nothing to do with him."

She looked at Rhys with begging in her eyes and shook her head.

At this, Rhys could only remind her once again, "Belle, if he bullies you, call me in time, I will be right there for you."

"Thank you, Rhys." Belle smiled sweetly towards him and nodded her head.

Calvin walked away first, passing by Rhys with a confident smile on his face, to show that he has high status.

"I'll see you in three days." Rhys was full of helplessness and some fondness, only by staying with her could he be energetic, but now that she was leaving with Calvin, his heart felt bitten by ants.

If he hadn't considered Belle’s feeling and the pitiful look on her pale face, he really would have beaten Calvin. This guy has been scheming.

"Remember, you have to follow me in these three days and listen to my command, otherwise don't blame me if you have any accident. Don't think that you can do whatever you want with Rhys backing you up." After arriving at an open area on the island, Calvin declared with absolute superiority towards Belle.

Belle could do nothing about it. After all, she was always at a disadvantage in front of him, he always had the final say, so she could do nothing but obey.

She knew that they had to cross three islands within three days, each with a barrier to overcome, and that once they had overcome the barrier, there would be food and accommodation, which they would have to find for themselves. To get back smoothly on the third day, they had to finish all the barriers within two days and walked back in the last day.

The three islands are not far apart by the sea, and they have been developed by Calvin's men, with various signposts, and even the main roads are cemented, with many fruit trees planted on them. Many animals, including some natural wild birds from the sea could be seen. On the road, they could smell sea and plants, which fresh the mind.

Helicopters hover in the sky from time to time, ready to come down to the island to rescue tourists who have set off flares.

Calvin is the only one who can come up with such a wonderful idea for fun and games.

Although Belle was not convinced on the surface, she admired that.

He was pulling up his sleeves and his trouser legs, so he seemed to be ready for action.

"The first level is to climb the mountain, and we will be on the other side of the island. Along the way there are implements you need to break into the second island, as you climb, look carefully at the places with the little yellow flags, there are five of them, but only one of them is real, the others are barricades."

He explained.

Belle took a look at this first island, which was a mountain island, not very high, but the road was curved and the rocks were in the way, so she could only say, "There is obviously a road under the mountain, why do we have to climb the mountain?"

Calvin's face was dark and he rolled his eyes, "Listen to my command, even though it's a game, we have to be serious, otherwise why we come to the middle of the sea? Isn't it better to walk on the street? Also, this is a race, if you walk that road at the foot of that mountain, it's at least half slower, and the little yellow flags are placed on the mountain."

Belle felt he had a point, so she couldn't say anything more, but when she looked at the thorny, rocky mountain road, her heart was pounding. This damn Calvin didn't say he was going to bring her here to play, and she was wearing high heels now, how was she supposed to climb the mountain?

"Hey, shouldn't you carry these things?" She shouted, “They were all men carrying things, why should I carry these things?”

Calvin glanced up and down at her with an evil smile on his face, "Dressed like this, you deserve to suffer, let me tell you, this is to punish you. You have to take it, be sensible, and please me in these three days. When I am happy, maybe I will let you have a better time. If you have the guts, you can call Rhys, I would like to see who is more capable."

He was about to get carried away, whistling lightly and climbing towards the hill, his footsteps light and his gait flying.

"Bastard, you even bully a woman." Belle picked up a stone and smashed it at him. The stone hit Calvin's back, a black dot appeared on the pure white shirt.

Calvin didn't expect Belle to sneak up on her from behind, and when he was hit, he turned his head around angrily, only to see Belle crouching on the ground, her shoulders shaking, her face buried in her chest. He couldn't tell if she was crying or laughing.

"Hey, how dare you sneak up on me, you're dead." He cursed indignantly, but he was apprehensive, wondering what was wrong with her. They had not begun to climb the mountain, if she was purposely annoyed with him, he would have a hard time. The world would think that he was bullying a woman.

He had to return and squat down, only to see her shoulders shaking and her nose sucking in air. Remembering the image of her crying in secret sadness those nights in the hospital, he felt nervous. This woman was crying at this point of aggression, it was obvious that he had taken the sneak attack from her and she was crying. What a pretense.

He snatched the things in her hand, full of chagrin, "Forget it, I will take it, lest you say I bully women."

Belle's shoulders shook even harder.

"Hey, get up, move up quickly, don't get ahead of yourself. My patience is limited. No matter what event I attend, I only win, don't you drag your feet for me, or I'll show you the consequence." Calvin yelled towards her, leaning down, pulling her up with one hand.

Belle looked up for she was forced up. Hearing that snickers, Calvin looked towards her suspiciously, only to see her eyes arched, smiling brightly. Calvin's eyes fixed on her, he was so dazed by her charm that he forgot to even get angry.

Belle took the opportunity to shake him off and climb towards the mountain.

When Calvin came to his senses, she had already been climbing for a while. She was not a delicate young lady, her father had often taken her climbing since she was a child, and even though she was wearing high heels, it was still not difficult for her to climb the mountain.

Seeing that she was walking gracefully in front of him, step by step, as light as a cloud, making him feel tickled inside.

"Damn woman." Calvin cursed with anger and chased after her.

The two of them chased each other along the way, and soon they had climbed a long way.

"Hey woman, watch out for the yellow flags by the roadside, there's a tool to break into the second island." Calvin saw a yellow flag next to the mountain and reminded Belle.

But Belle didn't even look at it, she just kept climbing ahead.

Calvin was chagrined and had to take his things and go looking for them alone. But after searching for several small yellow flags, he could not find anything, and had to return, discouraged. When he saw Belle sitting on a rock, holding a green banana leaf and fanning the wind, with a smile on her face that carried ridicule, disdain and contempt.

"What do you mean?" Calvin was displeased and asked with a cold face.

"Nothing? Laughing at your stupidity!" Belle held her head slightly high, her face flushed from climbing the mountain.

"How dare you call me stupid?" When had Calvin ever been so belittled? Now this annoying woman was laughing at him for being stupid, of course he was angry.

"Tsk, you're indeed stupid." Belle continued, "Can't you see that the yellow flags in front of you are all the same?"

It was true, of course the yellow flags were all the same, what was so strange about that?!

"So that's why you're stupid." Belle leapt down and walked towards a dense forest, not long after, she waved towards him with a small yellow flag. Seeing that, Calvin walked over.

A small black wooden box was lying on the ground, so he knelt down and found it was locked.

At this moment, Belle threw him a key.

Calvin took it, and the wooden box opened, and inside lay a key, pliers, and a piece of rope. Happy in his heart, he lifted his head and asked defiantly, "You didn't even look in front, how did you know it was here?"

"I did." Belle gave him a sidelong glance, "I saw it a long time ago, it's just that from the time you didn't find anything in the first one, I knew those later ones wouldn't have it."

"Is that so, why?"

"It's obvious! It's all the same symbol, so it must be gone, but this yellow flag is different, the symbol on it has a circle drawn on it, and the key is tied to the top of the flagpole."

Belle explained, and Calvin was surprised to hear that.

"I didn't expect you to be quite observant, not bad, you are quite clever." Calvin nodded his head, with a slight smile of approval hidden in his eyes, which was a natural flow of appreciation from the depths of his heart.

Belle was happy to hear that, it was not easy to get Calvin's appreciation!

The smile on her face was pleasant and comforting, even a little smug.

"Come on, we have to get to the other island before it gets dark, otherwise we'll have to sleep out in the open." Calvin looked at the woman who was somewhat self-satisfied, infected by the bright smile on her face, and suddenly felt that he would actually like to see her smiling so happily.

Secretly he was shocked, wondering when he stared to care about her smile!

The higher they got up, the harder it got. Belle is wearing high heels, so it would be arduous.
