Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 126

"Mr. Harvey, what brings you here?" She asked in a low voice, her eyes cold, and her expression stiff.

She would never have believed that he had come here because she was ill! She thought she was nothing in his heart, and if there had been pity before, it was only for her body!

Her stiff expression caused Calvin's brows to wrinkle slightly, and he swept her a glance without giving a positive reply, but only said in a warm voice, "Eat something first."

He placed the lunchbox on the bedside table and opened it, and the smell of rice spilled out in all directions, by which time her fever had gone down and she felt a hint of hunger in her stomach. He was very understanding and good at reading people's minds, and quite thoughtful, bringing her a bowl of porridge.

Belle ate her porridge and considered how to give him a clear explanation about this visit to America and of course the need to hire Reece.

"Mr. Harvey, I'm sorry for the trouble, I didn't expect to be that sick, I thought the cold was nothing." After eating, she gathered her things and whispered her apologies.

"Why are you packing your things?" Calvin raised his eyes to look at her in disbelief.

"Out of hospital, I'm well enough." She said matter-of-factly.

"Who gave you permission to leave the hospital? Don't always take things for granted, okay!" Calvin was angry, his face sulking, his voice louder, "My employees don't need to be workaholic, do you understand?"

This woman is always making up her own mind and doing things on her own initiative, and she is also very stubborn.

‘You think I want to please you by being a workaholic for your company? That's ridiculous!’ She kept her face cold and silent!

"You stay in bed and rest until I've asked the doctor." He ordered, not allowing her to resist.

Belle didn't think her health would be that bad, she just had a cold and had been tired from work, that's all.

But Calvin held her down, not allowing her to move, and forced her to lie down on the hospital bed to rest.

"Lie down and I'll get back to you then." With a serious face and a dark gaze, he spoke up.

The guy's face was really long, and his face was very dark.

‘What have I done wrong? I'm wrong for working for the company with my illness?’

He was so cold and heartless to her, if it were Lexie, he would be worried about her!

Giving him a stare, she turned her head away and ignored this annoying guy again!

Arcadia.

The entrance to the hacienda-style restaurant was crowded with people. In the evening, Calvin brought Belle to the entrance of this beautiful and quite popular hotel.

The two waited outside for over twenty minutes before they were able to get a place.

This is the first Hai Di Lao branch to open in America and since it opened, business has been brisk almost every day, even on weekdays, there are queues for seats.

Despite the fact that the hot pot has been modified to a separate pot for each person to fit into the larger environment, a cursory glance at the restaurant shows that there are still very few blondes and blue-eyed "foreigners".

The city is home to almost half of the Asian population because of its prestigious schools, which are good for children's studies, but the value of housing here is also super expensive.

When Calvin brought Belle here, Belle was surprised that he seemed to know the city well. How could he be so familiar with it?

"I would come and stay here from time to time to get to know the situation when I was developing the overseas branch." Perhaps seeing Belle's doubts, he spoke up lightly!

So that's how it was, Belle finally understood.

So all these years he will also often come to America, it turns out that they are not so far apart from each other.

As she looked up at his side face, the past suddenly leapt to her mind.

It was probably that afternoon a year or so ago, when she was looking for a job on the streets of Los Angeles, that she had seen a man on the street, slender, proud, noble and indifferent, walking past her with a woman on his arm.

She was poor, desperate and disillusioned, her eyes full of recruitment papers, but this man's figure came so clearly into view.

She almost instantly identified it as Calvin, but she didn't dare to approach or even identify with him. He had a beautiful, tall woman with him, the two of them were talking and laughing, his eyes didn't even notice her.

And that man exuded such a chilling aura of rejection that she didn't even have the courage to look at him more than once, let alone follow him up.

But, on a hunch, Belle thought that the man should be Calvin.

Back then, she was short of money for further study, so she had to find a job. No one could have imagined that she was also from a famous family, even her husband's family was a global tycoon, but she didn't have a penny.

She dare not tell her mother about the truth, her husband did not given her a single penny, and even after being in America for so long, not one cared about her.

Even if she had decided that the man was Calvin, she wouldn't have gone up to him, after all, their relationship was so distant that he wouldn't even care about her at home, let alone abroad.

Whether she was down and out or needed help, even if she knew that man was Calvin, she would not go up to him and beg him.

Her pride would not allow it, nor did she have the courage, let alone the confidence.

What's more, he had beauty on his side at the time, and that woman didn't look like Lexie.

Belle's eyes slowly began to redden as he sat dumbfounded.

"What are you thinking about?" Calvin looked up and saw Belle staring at him with a sullen and depressed face, presenting an inexplicable pathos, at once he frowned and couldn't help but ask out.

What the hell was this woman thinking? Even when she was with him, she was often so distracted, simply ignoring him.

Suddenly there was a feeling of frustration. All the women who could stay with him were fully committed to pestering him and trying to please him, but this woman had not put her heart into him at all, and their relationship had long been anything but ordinary.

Is she thinking of her lover, Rhys? The sadness and despondency on her face was because of him, right?

His heart suddenly surged with anger. He had personally flown from A City to be with her because she had fainted and was worried about her, but she didn't have him in her eyes!

His face was unpleasant.

"Nothing." Belle finally snapped out of her sour memories and shook her head in a panic, incoherently, picking up the chopsticks.

"Mr. Harvey, I would like to explain about the reason for coming to America this time." Belle said softly as she lowered her head and ate her food, because she couldn't see him at all when he was in A City these days and didn't want to call him, so she had taken matters into her own hands without asking for permission, and besides, he didn't know about hiring Reece yet.

Now his face was dark and full of displeasure, even when he was at the hospital, he was full of displeasure, it should be related to this. He was always strong, how could he allow his subordinates to make their own decisions? So she had the knowledge to mention it of her own accord.

"Let's eat first." Calvin spoke briefly in a somewhat sullen manner, never liking to talk about business matters during dinner.

"Oh, okay." Seeing the look of impatience on his face, she only agreed to keep her mouth shut and concentrate on her meal.

The temperature in Arcadia is very high and there are only two seasons here, spring and summer, so she drenched in sweat soon, and she had to take off her coat..

Calvin ate in a sultry voice, neither of them saying much, and the atmosphere was somewhat dull, which was very different from those at the neighbouring tables who were talking and laughing.

Belle was suddenly chagrined, secretly blaming Monica for telling him about her illness. Apparently he had come reluctantly and was very unhappy in his heart.

She needed neither sympathy nor pity!

It was just a small cold, she wasn't so pretentious.

After eating, Calvin drove and Belle didn't know where he was going. His head was dizzy and she leaned her head on the back seat, closing her eyes to have some rest.

Calvin skillfully and gently twisted the steering wheel in his hands and drove towards the front.

The road is spacious, there is not a lot of traffic and the speed is very fast.

"Here we are." The car soon came to a stop and Calvin spoke towards the woman sitting in the back row with her eyes closed, worried that she might catch a cold if she had already fallen asleep.

Belle lazily opened her eyes and was soon full of surprise, so shocked by the sight in front of her that she was incoherent, "Mr. Harvey, where are we?"

Calvin was slightly amused by her exaggeratedly pretentious expression, gave an imperceptible smile, glanced at her and deliberately said loudly, "Do you want to spend the night in the car?"

Belle scrambled to open the car door and got off, but still couldn't believe what she was seeing.
