Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 68

The strong smell of perfume on Lexie's body drilled straight into Calvin's nostrils, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Belle applied perfume too, but the smell of Belle's perfume was light and refreshing, and he would want to be close to her, but the smell of Lexie's perfume was so pungent to him.

Calvin was surprised to find that since he had hugged Belle, he would never be interested in another woman again. He used to feel Lexie was feminine, but he was increasingly repulsive to her!

And as soon as he touched Belle's soft and delicate body, he would want more. It was a terrible feeling, he didn't like it, for it made his life a mess and he felt like he was being manipulated.

He likes to be free, doesn't like to be tied up, but he can't help thinking about her, about what she's doing, about her every smile. He was upset when he saw her talking with other men.

Of course, he would never admit that it was jealousy.

"Lexie, go sit on the sofa first, I'm working." Calvin ordered impatiently as he held her away from him.

"Calvin, when are you going to do what you promised me!" Lexie was unrelenting.

"Either go sit on the sofa or get out." Calvin's hands tapped on the keyboard, he did not raise his head, his voice grew cold, his face expressionless.

Lexie was stunned, and stood up, dare not offend him.

Once she had offended him, he was as cold as ice and did not see her for a whole month, while the women around him changed one after another, until she took the initiative to admit her mistake and beg for forgiveness, then he returned to his old self and treated her as he had done before. Afterwards, she dare not offend him again.

Lexie reluctantly sat down on the sofa.

Calvin, however, was buried in his work, as if he had forgotten her existence.

After a long time, she cleared her throat and coughed to remind him that she was still waiting for him in the office!

Calvin frowned, feeling that her voice was very harsh. When he and Belle spent time together at the Grand Hyatt flat, they each went their own way, and he was extremely efficient.

But now Lexie was so irritating just sitting there!

He was annoyed by that.

"Calvin, where are we going to eat at noon?" It was almost noon, Lexie thought to herself, she could finally have lunch with him. She had been sitting in the office all morning and she was dying of depression!

"Red River." Calvin finally finished his work and closed his notebook, looked up at her and replied cheerfully.

"Okay." Lexie's face lit up and she stood up happily, walking towards him and about to wrap her arms around his body, but when she was close, she remembered something and retracted her hand, looking at him with some unease.

Calvin sensed it and gave a light laugh, but extended his arm to her.

"Let's go." He spoke softly, and Lexie responded by putting her hand on his arm, and the two of them walked outside affectionately.

Upbeat soft music played slowly.

Calvin asked for a bottle of red wine and poured a full glass for him and Lexie, and the two of them began to eat.

"Say it, what do you want to see me about?" Calvin was not stupid, and he know Lexie came here for something.

"Calvin." Lexie's face began to heat up as a glass of red wine fell into her belly, and it was only after this opportunity that she fluttered her eyes and said, "Calvin, about the Camphor Villa, my father ......"

"I will find a way to solve it, no need for you to worry about it." Calvin drank a sip of red wine, looking at the scarlet liquid in the cup, lightly spoke. He is a man, he does not need to use the power of women to set things right. It is a big problem, but as long as he wants to set things right, he can definitely set things right, but it depends on whether he can make up his mind to do so!

"Calvin." Lexie's face darkened, she had thought that with her father's power to help him settle the matter of the Camphor Villa, he would look at her differently, or at least she would win back her reputation, but he had denied it.

"But I've already promised Mum that this matter will be taken care of and I won't make things difficult for Harvey Corp." Lexie thought about it and still said sincerely. She knew that Calvin could set this issue right, but that would cost more, and if her father could fix it, it wouldn't be so troublesome.

"Lexie, don't say the same thing over and over again, we're all very busy." Calvin had the slightest hint of displeasure again.

Lexie had to stop talking and looked at him with open eyes full of aggression, "Calvin, about our marriage, my father has asked several times, when will you give a definite answer?"

Calvin lightly shook the red wine in his hand, drank it down in one gulp and asked, "Who wants a definite answer? You or your father? If it's your father asking, then ......"

"I want the answer too." Lexie was so afraid that he would say something bad that she immediately changed her words, and in fact it was really her asking.

Calvin breathed out, poured a full glass of red wine, held it in his hand and said seemingly casually, "Lexie, I also have something to say to you."

He also had something to say? Lexie's eyes glowed softly, her face full of excitement and expectation, she knew that since Calvin had promised her, he would not go back on his word. It seemed that he had not forgotten the agreement between them, was he going to propose her now?

"Lexie, you should know that I am only a divorced man and you are still unmarried, don't you feel aggrieved to marry me?" He raised the red wine glass in his hand, asked with a smile.

Lexie's face was overflowing with happiness, there was no trace of aggression, she shook her head and swore, "Calvin, you are so excellent, I dream of marrying you, I am only afraid that I am not good enough for you."

"Don't be too modest." Calvin shook his head slightly, took a sip of red wine and said seriously, "Lexie, I am afraid that you will be wronged if you marry me."

His bright eyes blinked slightly, he was carrying a smile, but his words were sincere.

"No, I really won't." Lexie was anxious and shook her head desperately.

"You have to think clearly, your father is the deputy mayor, you may not mind, but he will." Calvin sighed, "You know that I am a descendant of the Harvey family, some things will be out of my hands."

He smiled helplessly, his face full of desolation.

"What do you mean?" Startled, Lexie turned sideways, holding the red wine glass in one hand and leaning her elbow on the edge of the table, worried that her hands would shake and even more worried that he would refuse.

"Lexie, I can marry you, but I can't give you the title. If you were to marry me, you would only be a concubine, and you can’t live in the Harvey Mansion, you can’t participate in all the ancestral rituals of the Harvey family, and your name wouldn't be in the Harvey family tree." Calvin said very seriously and solemnly, "You should tell your father these things and consider it carefully, this is a big event in your life. Sorry, I am also out of helplessness."

A concubine? Lexie was dumbfounded, according to what she knew, Sophia had not said she would be a concubine, Sophia had only prevented her from living in Harvey Mansion and from attending to ancestral tablets, how could she now be a concubine?

This was coming from Calvin, and it stung her ears!

In fact, as long as they were registered and legally equal as husband and wife, that was what she had thought of before. Sophia was in her nineties, and as long as she died, Lexie would be able enter the family tree, for her children would be enter, so she, as their mother, has to reason to be allowed to enter the family tree.

"No, Calvin, Grandma said that if you marry me, I can't live in the Harvey Mansion and be in the family tree, but we can register. Legally we are a couple, those things are false and don't matter." Lexie flushed and explained.

"How do you know all this?" Calvin's face sank, it was a private matter of their family, so how could she, an outsider, know about the content his grandma said to him?

Lexie's face changed and she realised that she had said too much. In fact, she knew that Calvin hated it when people played tricks behind his back. She got the news through a maid she bribed. Now she slipped her tongue, she could say, “I guess it. When Evan married his second wife, there was a rule that his second wife could not live in the Harvey Manson and enter the family tree. But later, after your father passed away, Martin and his sister still moved into Harvey Mansion, as well as their mother, Mabel Miller."

If this was just a speculation, it would still be justifiable, Calvin's face eased and he reminded, "Lexie, think carefully, she is still only a concubine. Only with the consent of my grandmother, she is allowed to move it. And she has been living such a shameful life for more than 20 years, can you stand it? Besides, once Grandma is gone, there will be no elders who will agree to you moving in."

Calvin's words were mixed with a bit of helplessness, which was true. He was very torn inside.

He was a man, a descendant of the Harvey family, how could he not take this into account?!
