Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 78

"Jennifer, this is not what Calvin or I want. Calvin’s grandma is still alive, and our family affair is up to her. Harvey Mansion is the legacy left by Calvin’s grandfather, so we have nothing to do with it.” Paige said with embarrassment.

Jennifer was displeased, and Tristan was sullen, but he kept unmoved, like he was calm to the situation.

“Calvin, what do you think?” He asked Calvin, looking straight into his eyes. If Calvin is not bold enough, he dare not say a word.

But he uttered, “I had once divorced, and I am a decendant of the Harvey family, so I can only obey my elders. I have told Lexie that you should think it through. Since it was mentioned, I will be frank to you, “I can’t go against my Grandma’s will, and my Grandma has the say over the Harvey Mansion, so there is nothing I can do, for I have to respect her.”

He spoke politely. His Grandma’s birthday is the day after tomorrow and he did not want to bring up the so-called marriage at this moment, for he did not want to upset his Grandma.

Tristan narrowed his eyes and nodded in agreement. He solemnly said, "I never thought Calvin would be so filial to his elders. I'm impressed. However, Last time, you also married Minister Morris' daughter on your grandmother's order but your married life had been unhappy and that's what led to the current ending. Are you sure you want to go down that road again?"

At this, Paige was unhappy to hear that and she spoke up, “Mayor, Calvin’s grandma is old now, and Calvin respects his Grandma, and doesn’t want to go against her will. But Calvin will only marry Lexie and will treat her well. And I can guarantee about that.

She means that as long as Calvin’s grandma dies, she would get the title to Lexie.

“No, Mom, it is not as simple as you think it is, we have to be serious about it, or it will be unfair for Lexie.” Calvin sat straight and was displeased about Paige’s statement, so he corrected her.

Tristan was not stupid. Paige's statement was just an empty promise. There were too many variables in this matter. Calvin's cautious attitude spoke for itself. He had been in politics for many years, he knew too well that many things change in an instant. How could he do such an impossible illusory thing with no guarantee? After all, it was his only daughter's marriage. Therefore, he could not afford to be sloppy.

He adjusted his glasses and his pupils constricted. He said calmly, "Since Grandma Harvey' 90th birthday will celebrate her ninetieth birthday the day after tomorrow, we should come over to celebrate it. It's not easy to live until this age. Our family should come over and help celebrate Grandma Harvey' birthday. Since Calvin is having a hard time, we can't force him. Let's talk about it later.

"But......" Jennifer was about to speak when she saw Tristan standing up and saying, "Jennifer, it's getting late. Let's not disturb them any longer. We'll head home first.

Lexie was very unhappy. She did not expect that they could not come to a conclusion. She thought that with her father's help, they would be able to come up with something. She didn't expect that they would come up with nothing. She was disappointed and disheartened.

She didn't want to leave and wanted to stay with Calvin in the Harvey Manor. However, Tristan looked at her sternly, so she couldn't resist.

"Let's go," Tristan's said seriously. There was a hint of unhappiness in his words. She couldn't go against his orders. He thought that if his daughter kept pestering a man, she would demean herself.

When Jennifer saw Tristan's attitude, she had to go forward and take Lexie by the hand, pulling her away from Calvin.

"Calvin, do you think we were disrespectful to Mayor Johnson?" Paige complained to Calvin with anxiety and worry after the Johnson family left.

The corners of Calvin's mouth twitched. He was in a state of indifference and did not take it seriously. Marriage was not child's play. He had learned that from his previous marriage. This time, he must point out the important matters and make a thorough understanding of the things that should be clarified, lest they all regret things later.

"Mom, marriage is a huge deal and no one can change what Grandma has decided. We have to make it clear first. It is not good for us to hide it, Calvin was very dissatisfied with Paige, "Mom, I think I did the right thing and I think Mayor Johnson understands. Besides, these are my private affairs, so please don't get involved in the future."

After saying that, Calvin ignored Paige and walked outside.

"Stop, stay right there! What are you talking about?" Paige was embarrassed by Calvin's words. She shouted at Calvin, who was about to go out, "I'm doing this for your own good. The last time I listened to your grandmother, I allowed that b*tch to marry into our family and make a mess of our house. Why should we listen to her now? What era are we in now? She still has that old school mentality and wants to control your marriage, with no regard for your feelings. There is no such thing in the world. Do you think this is a feudal society? Let me tell you this, you are my son and I will not let history repeat itself again.

Calvin stood still. His eyes turned cold as he turned around and said to Paige, "Mom, Grandma doesn't care about me. She allows me to make my own life choices, but Harvey Manor belongs to Grandma. Grandpa left everything to Grandma and she has the right to decide, that's a fact that no one can change. She is the only elder in the Harvey family. We can choose to leave, choose to live our own lives, and choose not to inherit the Harvey Manor, but are you willing to forgo everything? Would Lexie be willing to let go? Even if I never marry again in my life except for Lexie, without Richard Manor, she would not be able to be recorded in the family tree; she will always be a concubine. Do you think she would be willing to marry me?" "

The strange light in his eyes shone, and he said solemnly, "Mom, please stay out of my affairs from now on. You should just live your own life and take good care of Dad. Also, when Belle lived in Harvey Manor, ask yourself, we didn't treat her fairly either. We cannot blame her entirely, don't you think?"

After saying that, Calvin stepped out of the house and soon disappeared into the night.

Paige's face suddenly turned pale. She stood rooted to the spot and couldn't speak. She watched as Calvin walked away and took a step back in shock.

Had her son, Calvin, changed? His behavior was getting weirder and weirder these days. Even she, as his mother, couldn't understand what he was thinking. Perhaps her son had sided with that woman? She stood there bewildered.

Below Grand Hyatt Apartments.

As soon as Calvin parked the car, he eagerly headed upstairs. At the thought of a woman waiting for him in the once deserted house, the corner of his mouth raised slightly.

As he stood in front of the door and was about to open the door, he suddenly remembered something. After hesitating for a while, he put the key away and gently knocked on the door instead.

After the light but clear knocking on the door for a while, there was no response. It was eerily quiet! He frowned when no one answered the door. Suddenly, he felt dread in his heart and a sudden thought flashed across his mind. Did she not listen to his orders?

Or maybe she didn't come back at all and had already run away!

How dare she!

Thinking about it, Calvin's heart beat fast and he cursed with chagrin in his heart "B*tch, if you dare to disobey me, I'll punish you!"

He quickly took out his key and unlocked the door.

The windows in the living room were all slightly ajar allowing the fresh air to circulate in the house. The thin window screens were green. The warm light softly shone on the crystal-shaped glass dining table in the dining room, creating a yellow halo. The house smelled fresh and clean. There was a bunch of fresh white lotus flowers, which was Calvin's favorite, placed in a porcelain vase on the coffee table, emitting a refreshing fragrance of flowers.

Calvin seemed to be in a dream. A warm and peaceful home was exactly what he had always been looking forward to and what his heart had longed for, for so many years. Finally, after so many years, he was able to experience this kind of feeling. Although it was below his expectations, he was still delighted.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly again.

Belle had fallen asleep on the dinner table. She was still wearing the same yellow sweater that she wore yesterday. She huddled in front of the dining table, a lonely figure.

Calvin's back stiffened for a while, and he was stunned. Only then did he remember that he was the one who had asked her to prepare dinner and wait for him to come home. He totally forgot to inform her of the change of plans.

Has she eaten yet?

As he approached the table, he saw that there were four dishes and a bowl of soup, all of which were his favorites. However, they were all cold now! It seemed like no one had touched the food."

Did this mean that she hasn't eaten yet?

He was slightly surprised. He quickly reached out and gently nudged her, "Belle, wake up."

Belle spent the whole night, crying. She was extremely exhausted. As soon as she got into the house, she was busy preparing dinner. She waited for Calvin to come back, and sat at the dining table to please him. She didn't know what it would take for him to leave her alone or if he would cure her mother's illness, but there was nothing she could do but wait.

Right now, she hated the person who caused the accident. All the misfortunes in her life were caused by this car accident. Her father's death, her mother's injury, and her kidney disease......

She didn't dare to think too much about it. She was afraid that she would collapse!

After waiting for a long time, Calvin didn't come back. He was probably with Lexie or he had gone to a nightclub. She was happy. Would that mean that she wouldn't have to sleep with him?

He had labelled her as a sl*t. Did it mean that he would never touch her?

She consoled herself, but she didn't dare to go against his will. Her mother's illness depended on him, and she didn't dare to upset him. She just sat at the table waiting for him and unexpectedly fell asleep.

A warm big palm landed on her. Someone nudged her. She opened her sleepy eyes and saw Calvin's deep black pupils, and his handsome charming face. She was dumbfounded, and soon jumped up in fright.
