Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 133

But at this moment, Hattie was staring at her with big eyes, full of sincerity, so that she could not refuse.

Her heart screamed in agony, she could only squeeze out a smile on her face and said, "Hattie, I don't have a good eye and there's something else I have to deal with, so you can just have Mr. Harvey keep you company."

She spoke in a low voice, making it clear that she was refusing.

"Belle, just stay with me, okay? I want to buy some beautiful clothes. I heard Calvin say that you have been in America for three years, so you must know where the clothes are beautiful, where it's fun, and which clothes suit me. Your clothes are pretty, will you please go with me?” Hattie stood up and came towards her, shaking her arm, her face full of begging.

Belle was at a loss for words, thinking, "Will Calvin be willing to have her go together?

He should be very unhappy about it.

When she looked up, she met Calvin's gaze. There was no objection on his face, and he didn't seem to mind her going with them.

She had no choice but to nod my head in agreement, as Hattie was pressing hard.

But the gaze shot at Calvin was more or less tinged with hatred.

‘You want to pick up a girl and I have to go with you. You could have spoken up for me, but you pretended to be deaf and mute, which is abominable.’

After eating, Belle drank a glass of water and only sat for a while before going to her room, taking her pajamas and going to bed early.

Calvin and Hattie were still playing games in the living room, laughing happily from time to time.

Belle buried her head under the blanket, not wanting to hear their laughter, but their laughter was so loud and clear, so playful and seemingly deliberate, that it was hard to hear them.

Her heart was sore and she lay in bed, tossing and turning. Having already slept in the afternoon, she could not fall asleep. They were playing in the living room and there was no place for her, so she had to get up and worked on the car model design.

But how could she not concentrate? What was worse was the uncomfortable feeling inside. If she had heartache when Lexie pestered Calvin in the past, but Lexie was arrogant, and not the type of woman Calvin liked.

And at that time, her heart was more angry than jealous, even if it was hard, but she could still feel Calvin's unintentional coldness towards Lexie, that feeling was still more confident despite the loss.

But now when faced with Hattie, she realised that her heart was full of jealousy.

After all, she could see that Calvin truly loved this innocent and beautiful girl.

With her eyes glued to the computer, her mind was filled with Hattie's genuine smile, her eyes fluttering with a sly and playful smile, yet so clear and pure that it was endearing.

For a moment, Belle felt that Hattie's face looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, but for a moment she couldn't remember.

In a daze, she seemed to have fallen asleep and was taken back to her childhood when her father took her to a banquet and met Sophia and the beautiful boy with a brooding demeanour standing next to her.

It was the first time she saw him, who was so handsome and elegant that she didn't even hear Sophia's question and just looked at him shyly.

But his eyes were just looking out at a place.

Later, whenever she met him, she couldn't help but pay attention to him, only to find that his eyes would always look at the girl standing outside in a white dress and smile, full of affection.

The girl was very good-looking and much smaller than all of them, and her eyes twinkled when she smiled, very pretty and moving.

Belle suddenly woke up.

She remembered.

At that time, Calvin was staring at that little girl called Hattie.

They had known each other for a long time, and at a very young age.

It was then that Calvin had his heart set on her.

Yes, no matter what she gives, Calvin will never fall in love with her, either Lexie or Hattie, or whichever girl it will be in the future!

In his heart, she really was nothing.

If Lexie was enough of a threat to her, then this little girl called Hattie, who was at least five years younger than her, could just destroy her.

Her heart went cold.

It was late at night, the house was quiet and it seemed they had all gone to bed.

Belle tossed and turned, never wanting to sleep again.

Her mind was filled with the girl's carefree laughter, which stung her heart and brought tears to her eyes unknowingly.

This night, she lost sleep.

When she woke up in the morning, she found her eyes were red and she had dark circles under them. She was worried that if Calvin saw her, she would arouse his suspicion and his sarcastic face would come to mind. She put on a heavy make-up to cover her dark circles before she went to the garden.

The morning sun rose from the sky, giving a layer of haze to the earth in the early morning, the birds were singing and flowers were scenting everywhere, the air was fresh, and such a beautiful morning tended to banish a lot of the gloom inside Belle.

She walked around the entire back garden before coming back to the front lawn.

Sitting in the recliner, not long after, she heard the doorbell.

When she looked up, she saw a man standing on the fence of the lawn yard wall, waving his hand at her with a newspaper.

It turned out that the newspaper delivery man had come, and Sadie was preparing breakfast.

She stood up and walked towards him.

"Thank you," she smiled politely at him as she took the paper, and with a sunny smile, the young man squeezed his eyebrows at her hilariously and pedalled off.

Belle smiled, bored anyway, and sat down on the recliner to read the newspaper without haste.

Her eyes wide opened as she was surprised to see a news report about Castle Peak Lake in A City.

The report says that the beautiful environment of Castle Peak Lake, where the human geography is second to none in the country and the world, is close to the green hills and the sea, due to the exceptional water quality. Surprisingly, a magical animal was found, said to be hundreds of millions of years old in the distant past and already endangered on earth, accompanied by photos and evidence cited by scientists.

Her heart was more than amazed, although Castle Peak Lake was not big, it was still a not small lake, with calm, blue water, bordering the mountains and the sea, the water quality there was indeed very good, but were there really these living species there? How could she not know?

Then she flipped to the other side and surprisingly there was another news item, no this one was even more outrageous, 'A water monster has been found in Castle Peak Lake.'

Belle was even more surprised.

It was only a few days that so many rare things in Castle Peak Lake had been found, but it was probably just another rumour spread by some boring people.

Shaking her head and smiling, she suddenly thought of something else and sat lost in thought.

"Miss, it's time for breakfast, Young Master is awake already." Sadie called out at her from the house at some point.

Awakened by Sadie's shout, Belle came to her senses and put away the newspaper and walked towards the living room.

Hattie is changing into a stylish dress, tying her hair in a ponytail, sitting beside Calvin, who has his hand on her shoulder with a friendly smile on his face.

"Belle, good morning." Seeing Belle walk in, Hattie smiled sweetly at her and greeted her loudly.

"Good morning." Belle's heart was full of unpleasant feelings, she also said lightly, as a greeting to the two of them, deliberately put the conspicuous side of the newspaper on the corner of the coffee table. She knew that Calvin had the habit of reading the newspaper in the morning, and wanted to see his reaction. But Castle Peak Lake is his property, shouldn’t he shocked to find the news?

But Calvin was just playing with Hattie, and the two of them were so close that they didn't react much, not even willing to take a look at the newspaper.

"Belle, we're going to go shopping today, if you like anything, let me know, I'll ask Calvin to pay for you." She smiled cheerfully, it seemed that she should be completely unaware of her relationship with Calvin.

Belle only gave a faint smile and did not say anything.

"Belle, do you use any make-up?" She asked curiously as she came closer.

She had to put on some foundation to hide the dark circles under her eyes, but she didn't expect Hattie to ask her such a question.

"I'm not really used to doing makeup." Belle averted her face, avoiding Hattie’s eyes, and responded blandly.

"Belle, your skin is good, but you have dark circles under your eyes, it seems you didn't sleep well last night, right?" Hattie asked, fluttering her big eyes, with a look of innocence.

Belle was uncomfortable to be asked like this, but the girl's face was full of innocence, and she was just being childish and concerned about her, not at all intentional.

She looked toward Calvin and met his eyes, instantly, she felt embarrassed that her cheeks flushed.
