Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 88

"Miss Johnson, Grandma is just inviting Mayor Johnson over, please go back and sit down first." Ruth's voice woke up Calvin, he looked up and it turned out that Lexie intended to follow her father inside, but was politely stopped by Ruth.

Lexie's face sank, full of displeasure, and she had no choice but to come back and sit next to Calvin again.

"Hays, why do you think Grandma asked my dad to go to her?" She asked in a small voice with a sweet smile.

Calvin glanced at Belle and shook his head, his mind sinking as he replied, "I don't know."

He now wanted to know what his grandmother had said to Belle, he didn't even want her to change her liking for Belle, he wanted her to continue to be loved by her, but when he realised this, in his heart even he was taken aback by this feeling, he didn't even have the heart to think about Lexie's words.

Soon, in only twenty minutes or so, Tristan walked out, his face calm.

"Dad, what did Grandma say to you?" Lexie leaned over and asked softly. Tristan's expression was secretive, he just gave her a rather deep look and didn't make a sound.

Lexie had a trace of apprehension, if it was good news, Dad should have signaled her, but he did not, but from her Dad's eyes, she did not see that kind of utter disappointment, his expression calm as usual, so she felt relieved.

Not long after, Ruth pushed Sophia out.

Sophia sat in a wheelchair, wearing an old-fashioned vermilion birthday suit, her spirit is hale and hearty as she was smiling, no weariness visible on her face.

"Hello, Grandma." All of them stood up.

"Good, good." Sophia smiled from ear to ear and waved her hand towards everyone as they sat down again.

"Mayor Johnson, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to celebrate my birthday!" Sophia politely thanked Tristan. Tristan stood up, smiled and gestured towards her, and said calmly, "Sophia, it is your ninetieth birthday, it's only right for me to come and visit."

At this point, everyone began to mutter in their hearts, what kind of tricks was this old woman playing? Didn't she always oppose his daughter's marriage to Calvin? Now was she agreeing to it? Did she really invite Belle there to disown Calvin? If that was the case, Belle would never be able to turn her life around. Some people felt sorry for her and cast a sympathetic look at her, but more than that, they were disdainful.

Paige was so happy, it looked like she finally had something in place for her son and was getting ready for another happy occasion!

"Today is my birthday, I am old and my energy is not good, I can't play with you youngsters. I am going to announce a few important things now, then my family will all accompany me to pay respect to my ancestors, after that I am going back to rest." Sophia paused here, she was already tired because she had consumed too much energy.

Taking a breath, she waved her hand towards Ruth, who immediately took out a red book from the side of her wheelchair.

Everyone in the living room sat up straight, stretched their necks and suppressed their breathing, all tensed up, wondering what decision Grandma was going to announce. In the quiet living room, even Calvin's heart skipped a beat as he looked at Belle, who was still standing silently in the corner, with some anxiety and unease in his heart.

What would happen to him if his grandmother did declare that she would henceforth withdraw from the Harvey family's ancestral throne and remove her from the family tree forever?

If that was the case, did it mean that he had lost her forever in his life, that he could never have her again? He, surprisingly, became secretly nervous.

Ruth opened the red book in her hand and clearly read aloud.

"I, Sophia, on behalf of the Harvey ancestors, announce the first thing: the transfer of the entire portion of the inheritance belonging to Calvin in the Harvey Mansion to Belle."

As soon as this decision was announced, the living room was full of people talking and whispering.

"What is the meaning of this!"

"The Harvey Mansion is the ancestral property of the Harvey family, and it was given to an outsider instead of her own grandson."

"Yes, this succession to the Harvey Mansion can only be given to a grandson, not even my daughter Aleena, how can it be given to a divorced woman?"

"This woman has a lot of tricks up her sleeve."

"We can't agree to that."

......

Calvin came back from his nervousness and anxiety, and when he heard what his grandmother meant, he couldn't help but sigh with relief and relax, and a small, imperceptible smile appeared on his face, but it didn't escape Lexie's eyes, and Lexie was instantly furious.

"The second decision: from today onwards Belle moves back to the Fragrance Garden in the Harvey Mansion and lives back in her original house."

Once this decision was made, the crowd was again stunned and dumbfounded, what was going on here? Hadn't Belle divorced Calvin? How could she still live back at the Harvey Mansion?

"Mom, I have a problem with this." Paige was the first one who couldn't take it anymore and raised her objection loudly, now she was furious at the sight of Belle. And if Belle moved back, she would not have a good time. Her mother-in-law knew she didn't like Belle, but she still made such a decision, she could not bear with it..

She couldn't let that woman live in it.

"Mom, Belle is no longer legally married to Calvin, how can she still move back to Harvey Mansion?" Paige once again affirmed in defiance, her mother-in-law had always liked to antagonise her, she couldn't be silent any longer.

No one else could be influenced by this decision and they all just stood by and watched.

Sophia's eyes flashed brightly, she cleared her throat, glanced at Paige, whose face was red with anger, and slowly said, "Harvey Mansion is my family business, the decision is mine, and if anyone disagrees, they can move out." Then she added, “Belle still has her name on my family tress, and it could not be erased. I am only acting in accordance with the ancestral law of the Harvey family. As for the legal relationship between Belle and Calvin, that is their own business. I have made it clear to Calvin that he can have a home outside, but not in the Harvey Mansion. Harvey Mansion is my fortune and it is not your turn to tell me what to do.”

When Sophia put her words here, Paige's face darkened, Lexie's face darkened, Martin's face was terrible, only Tristan was calm, he was standing quietly, sizing up Calvin.

In response to these decisions of his grandmother, Calvin's expression was different from everyone else's, first nervous, then elated when the first decision was made, and now silent. He didn't seem to have too much of an element of opposition within, and this was what scared Tristan the most.

To be honest, an old woman's decision is nothing, is it not just some property? But Calvin's performance is the key. After all, Lexie is going to live with him for the rest of her life, and what Tristan wants is Calvin's attitude.

"Next, the third decision is announced: regarding the issue of the marriage between Mayor Johnson's daughter Lexie and Calvin, I have agreed to let Lexie live in Harvey Mansion for three months first, and a decision will be made after three months, which I have already discussed with Mayor Johnson."

Once this third decision came out, all were stunned again.

Paige and Lexie's faces began to look noticeably better, so Grandma still balanced everyone's feelings and didn't take things to the extreme.

It seems that the grandmother is planning to give Calvin a concubine in a blatant manner, and as to who is the wife and who is the concubine, it depends on the ability of these two women.

After Sophia announced this decision, according to the Harvey family ancestral system to pay respect to the ancestors, outsiders have to retreat, because Lexie has not yet held a formal wedding with Calvin, so Tristan took Lexie out. Because there are still important things to do, Tristan went first, Lexie stayed.

"Lexie, I have got a fair chance for you, if you really love Calvin and want to marry into Harvey Mansion, then you behave well in these three months. I believe in your ability, call me if you need help. From today onwards you don't need to go home, just live in Harvey Mansion. Cheer up, your mother will send someone to bring all your clothes over." Tristan instructed Lexie in a serious manner, in fact, he had no choice but to take this step, but Lexie was at home every day, not thinking about food and tea but crying. He only had this one daughter, naturally he could not let go, it was really the best he could do.

Sophia finally gave his daughter a fair chance to fight after all, if she is not allowed to come, she will not give up. No matter whether the ending is good or bad, she must be allowed to give it a try, anyway, he can still afford to wait only three months, if it really could not work, he will never allow her to fool around again.
