Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 87

The ceiling lights are wide open in the living room at this time, and the lights are brilliant.

The front row of seating in the living room was empty, and above it was a large mahogany soft seating sofa that was Sophia's seat.

The rows behind it were filled with the Harvey family's current masters, their children and grandchildren, and really no one from outside was invited, including people from Paige's family and Evan’s wife and her concubine's family, even if General of the military community wanted to send Rosa, he was rebuffed by Sophia.

Evan sat in the middle of the back row and his second wife sat on the second side of him, while Paige, could only sat behind Evan for Hudson was bedridden and became a vegetable.

It is because of this that Paige relocates this hatred towards Belle, the woman who put her husband in the hospital, so ever since Hudson was hospitalized, her face has never really been happy and smiling whenever she attends these types of family gatherings.

Sophia's two daughters, one still temporarily living in the Harvey Mansion because her husband's family had fallen on hard times, and one who had also brought her husband back with her, sat in the back row.

In the back row were the Sophia’s grandchildren, Martin sat on the left side, Aleena sat next to Martin, and the two empty seats in the middle were for Calvin, but today only one was empty because Lexie was sitting on the side waiting for Calvin to come over.

Tristan and Jennifer were on the sofa as special guests, of course this was all due to Paige's careful arrangements, she was keen to have the Sophia acknowledge Lexie as a prospective grandson-in-law in front of everyone at this birthday banquet.

All the workers of the Harvey family were present, but just all stood without a grunt in the side room connected to the living room.

When Calvin appeared in front of the crowd holding Belle's hand, almost all the eyes in the living room fell on them, their faces were all kinds of expressions. At first they were looking at their faces, gradually all eyes fell on Calvin holding Belle's hand tightly. He was holding her hand tightly, his heart was not indifferent to the crowd's gaze.

Belle was embarrassed by their gaze, which could be of all kinds: contempt, indifference, disdain, resentment, calmness, deep inexplicability, but not that loving warmth, like three years ago, when she was still despised and unaccepted by the crowd.

Only this time it was different because Calvin held her hand from the beginning to the end, even when he saw Lexie, he did not let go of her hand.

He didn't take Belle to the seat that belonged to him, as Lexie was sitting there, where there was only one empty seat belonging to him, so he went to sit on the divided chair next to the sofa.

Lexie had been sitting next to Calvin's seat, and when she saw him walk in, her spirits lifted and she was full of joy, and soon her face sank!

She watched Calvin as he walked in, but his hand was holding Belle tightly, with a gentle and caring face, and her eyes immediately filled with resentment.

Marin sat there with a straight face, his eyes fixed on Calvin’s hands, but he was clenching his teeth and didn't say a word, and he couldn't even see any expression on his face.

"Cowards." Lexie was angry, but she felt relieved, what was she afraid of? There were many people who did not want Calvin and Belle together. And in her heart, she despised Martin, a man who didn't dare to chase a woman openly and didn't think about how to win her heart, but was always playing tricks behind her back.

Belle was surrounded by as many stares and was so uncomfortable that she thought she would have run away if she hadn't promised Sophia.

As if he could see what was on her mind, Calvin held her hand tightly, as if he was afraid she would run away.

He should be afraid of not being able to explain to Grandma, thought Belle, otherwise why would he not walk over to Lexie when he saw her there?

She had no interest in getting involved in other people's family affairs in this cold Harvey Mansion.

After today maybe she'll never have to come back here again, so she paid no attention to them again.

As she was thinking about it, she saw Ruth walking out.

The crowd instantly turned their attention to Ruth.

Ruth wore a red cheongsam today, very festive, and after she came out and greeted all the hosts in charge first, she announced her grandmother's decree, "Will Belle come in? Grandma wants to see you."

She only uttered this sentence and everyone revealed astonishment. What was the intention of Sophia seeing only Belle alone, before paying respect to her ancestors?

They had all been sitting here for so long, but Grandma hadn't asked them to come in to talk. Even when Paige passed in the news that Mayor Johnson's family had been invited over to pay their respects to Grandma, she hadn't received any response.

Lexie's face turned pale, originally, she had Paige's permission and took the initiative to sit next to Calvin. Everyone could see what that meant, but Calvin did not respond to her when he came in, instead, he pampered Belle in every way, and now, his grandmother directly ignored her, and ignored all the children and grandchildren, and just invited Belle in.

What means does this woman has to make Sophia so favorable to her? She has divorced Calvin, now not even considered a member of the Harvey family, but Sophia treated her so preferentially. Her father until now has not been received by Sophia, and his face is full of sullen.

Even Calvin didn't understand, he just twisted his head towards Belle inexplicably.

Belle was confused too. She knew that Sophia liked her, but she was still a foreigner, not to mention that she was no longer the daughter-in-law of the Harvey family.

After Belle left, Lexie went towards Calvin and sat beside him, full of grievances and with tears in her eyes.

Calvin was still in shock and didn't even notice her.

The second wife of Evan's family looked at Paige and Lexie, secretly laughing. Paige was in such a hurry to invite Lexie's family here, everyone knew what she had in mind, but it seemed that her thoughts were in vain, Sophia did not take it to her heart at all.

Lexie was so looking forward to be Calvin’s wife, but Calvin had not even expressed his position, she was really thick-skinned, but they only laughed in their hearts.

They did not expect that it had been an hour since Belle walked in. At first, they all waited patiently, but later on, they were not too impatient and began to grumble.

Finally, as everyone waited, Belle walked out.

Her face was white, and her mind was in a trance. She just stood with her eyes downcast, and out of the corner of her eye she saw Lexie sitting next to Calvin. She didn't go over, but picked a quiet corner and stood alone, wanting to invisible herself in that corner, not wanting anyone to notice her.

Calvin looked deeply at her. She did not come towards him, her expression was indifferent. He did not know what grandma said to her, but after talking for so long, it must not be something simple. As he was to walk over to ask her, Lexie held his arm, so he could only sit down.

Not long after, Ruth came out again and said loudly, "Grandma has invited Mayor Johnson over."

There was another outcry!

All eyes turned to Tristan.

Lexie's heart instantly perked up, grandmother had actually invited her father in, was Grandma to accept her? Seeing Belle’s pale face, she guessed that it must be that Grandma wanted to cancel Belle’s name on the ancestral tablet and give it to her.

Now Grandma was calling her father over, wasn't that obvious? For a moment, her hands were shaking with excitement.

Tristan stood up and walked towards Sophia's bedroom. When he passed by Calvin, Calvin was inexplicably distressed. He looked toward Belle, who was stood there silently, lonely. Did Grandma say something bad to her?. Was Grandma really going to remove her name from the ancestral tablet? Would Grandma really accept Lexie?

What was going on here? Didn't he used to have his heart set on her leaving him and Harvey's ancestral tablets? Then where did this feeling of uncertainty come from now? What was wrong with him?

He looked at her again, but she just stood there in silence, not even looking at him, as if she had forgotten him. For a moment his heart grew angry, as if anything to do with her disturbed him.
