Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 159

At dinner, Belle just had a few bites of soup and really didn't have much of an appetite.

Lexie was also at home and her appetite was not too good, she also ate just a little bit and said that she was not feeling well and sat on the sofa with her eyes closed.

Paige, however, was very nervous about her, and came over to her with care, "Lexie, your appetite hasn't been good recently, and your face doesn't look right, are you tired? Why don't you ask Calvin to accompany you to the hospital tomorrow to check if there are any other problems."

Lexie smiled at Paige and said shyly, "Mom, it's okay, maybe it's cold these days and I'm just a bit cold."

Paige said, "You're Mayor Johnson's precious daughter, if anything happens to you in the Harvey Mansion, I can't explain to him. Let Calvin take you to the hospital tomorrow.”

When she said this, she immediately turned her head towards Calvin and said, "Calvin, Lexie looks very uncomfortable, take her to the hospital tomorrow."

Calvin's mind was full of Belle's pale face. Seeing that she was not in good spirits, he understood her mood and was ready to accompany her to rest upstairs after eating, when he heard Paige's words, he could not help but frown.

Tomorrow he has to accompany Belle to visit Kate in the hospital.

After all, she had just had surgery, and yesterday the doctor told him that she needed several more imported drugs to make her condition more secure, which were harder to get, and he was planning to go tomorrow to figure out how to do it.

Immediately, he said, "Mom, I have something important to do tomorrow, ask Yanis to accompany her."

When Lexie heard this, her nose was sore and tears were about to fall down, but she quickly floated a sweet smile and timidly said to Paige, "Mom, there's really nothing wrong with me, Calvin is busy, don't hold him up."

Her son only had eyes for Belle, he was already cold to Lexie, and now she was not feeling well, he still did not accompany her to the hospital. If Mayor Johnson found out, he would be disappointed. Besides, in case something happens, that is a big deal for Lexie is living in Harvey Mansion.

She looked up and was about to call out to him, but saw that he was already upstairs, holding Belle's hand.

She shook her head, smiled bitterly and said, "Lexie, since Calvin is busy, I will go with you."

Lexie fluttered her big eyes with tears in them and said thankfully, "Thank you, you are kind to me." She stood up and ran to Paige and threw her arms around her neck.

Paige immediately raised her eyebrows and smiled.

The night is shrouded in unfathomable darkness.

"Blake, how is the case I entrusted to you going?" Belle took advantage of the gap when Calvin went to the shower to pick up the phone and lowered her voice to ask.

"Miss, this case is very tricky, the key human and physical evidence is not available, it is indeed a bit difficult to find out, but now I have found out that there are several groups of people investigating this case, one day it will come to light, don't worry." Blake replied.

Several groups of people are investigating this case? Belle froze and asked sharply, "Then do you know who it is?"

Blake was silent for a while and said, "Miss, there is good news at the moment, it is said that the Public Security Bureau has officially appointed Finley as the team leader of your father's case, it is said that this is all because of the pressure exerted by Calvin."

Calvin? Belle's heart skipped a beat when she heard this name.

"Miss Morris, according to my investigation, this case is definitely related to the Harvey family, currently Calvin is actively investigating this case, secretly already confronting with Bill. Calvin's right-hand man Aron was injured, the gunshot at the Hilton Hotel a few days ago is related to this case, so Miss Morris, this case is too complicated, and my ability is limited, I'm afraid I can’t continue. " Blake said helplessly inside the phone, despite the high reward given by Belle, he really didn't have the ability to get it anymore.

Belle had a momentary daze, Blake was the most well-known private detective introduced to her by Lottie, and even he could do nothing about it, so she can imagine how complicated this matter was.

"Miss Morris, this matter is extensive, but with Mr. Calvin as a backer, truth is just around the corner. I advise you not to be serious in everything and not to act rashly, it can be dangerous." Blake hung up the phone after giving her final piece of advice.

Belle stood dumbfounded, not even seeing Calvin come out of the shower.

"What are you thinking about?" Calvin walked out and saw Belle standing dazed in the bedroom, his heart sank and he asked in a soft voice.

It was a long time before Belle focused her gaze on Calvin and asked blankly.

"Is my father's case never going to see the light of day?"

Her face was full of expectation, grief, but the light in her eyes was empty.

Calvin's heart sank, and after a long time, he sighed lightly, took Belle's hand and said warmly, "Belle, remember the promise I once made to you? I said I would give you a satisfactory answer, no matter who hurt your father, I will make him be severely punished by the law, but this matter is very complicated, not something that can be clarified in one or two sentence. We need time, trust me, okay?"

His tone was gentle, his gaze doting, but his words were firm.

Belle gazed into Calvin's warm and thoughtful eyes and could not help but nod.

"Remember, from now on, just work in Harvey Corp, manage Harvey Corp well and save me unnecessary worries. Leave everything else to me." Gathering her into his arms and stroking her hair, Calvin said seriously, "Belle, don't worry, I will do what I promised you, just listen to my arrangements from now on.”

The matter has come to this point, and Belle knows that it is impossible to clear her father's name with her own skills, so she can only pin her hopes on Calvin.

She nodded with tears in her eyes.

Kate's surgery could be described as smooth, and as long as it was properly adjusted, recovery would not be a problem at all. This gave Belle hope and a glimpse of light, and she believed that as long as Calvin was there, everything would be fine.

In the evening, Belle and Calvin returned to the Harvey Mansion as usual.

The living room of the Fragrance Garden is brilliantly lit with giant ceiling lights on.

Before Belle even walked in, she felt an unusual aura, and her heart thudded with apprehension.

It was only when Calvin pulled her hand tighter that the hint of unease was forced down.

The laughter in the living room was so joyful and harmonious that it could be heard even from a distance. When Calvin walked in with Belle, Paige was laughing so hard that she could not close her mouth and took Lexie's hand, and specially ordered Kiara to bring a soft blanket to cover her body.

Lexie was blushing and smiling brightly.

It's a bit of an odd atmosphere.

"Calvin." Seeing Calvin walk in, Lexie's face flushed and she immediately shouted delicately.

Lexie's smiling face was like steel needles stabbing Belle's heart , her face was not only a happy smile, but also a hint of joy and shyness.

And she was almost wrapped up in a soft blanket, like a protected porcelain doll.

Belle felt that she could not stay in the living room any longer, the atmosphere made her uncomfortable. Luckily Calvin had already taken her out to eat her favourite meal, so she just politely called "Auntie" and turned around to go upstairs, intuiting that the atmosphere here seemed to be unfavourable to her.

This is a very bad feeling.

Calvin just habitually called out "Mom" to Paige and was about to follow Belle upstairs to rest, he was mentally tired enough these days and wanted to sleep peacefully.

"Calvin, I have something to tell you." Paige, who was smiling, saw that Calvin was cold to Lexie, she hurriedly stopped him.

It was important to tell him about today.

Paige's voice, although not very stern, was solemn and forced Calvin to stop in his tracks.

"Calvin, come and sit down, I have something to say." Paige waved at him.

Calvin's brow furrowed, and he could only glance at the back of Belle who had already walked upstairs, before turning back towards the living room.

There was a dark look on his face and impatience was evident in his deep eyes.

Paige's face tensed up and she stared at him without saying a word.

"Mom, since you have something to talk to Calvin about, I will go back to my room first." Lexie looked at the faces of the mother and son, and her heart was troubled, so she stood up knowingly and said very gently, being very good and understanding.

Paige's eyes were filled with a loving light, she nodded with a loving face, "Go up and rest first, tell me what you want to eat, and if you need anything, just ask Yanis to get it, if it's not available at home, I'll call a private jet to go abroad to buy it for you."

"Okay, thank you for your concern, Mum." Lexie smiled sweetly, "Mom, Calvin, good night, I'll go up first."

"Okay, make sure you keep warm." Paige admonished again towards her back.

"Mom, don't worry, I will." Lexie said meekly.

Paige nodded in satisfaction.

Calvin was confused by the content of their conversation, and only then did he feel that Paige's concern for Lexie seemed a bit off, buthe couldn't figure it out what was off.

"You all go to bed." After Lexie had left with a smile on her face, Paige said to the servants in the living room.

The servants have all gone too.

Soon, only Paige and Calvin were left in the living room.
