Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 173

"Absurd." Sophia's face was full of disappointment.

"Lexie is pregnant, isn't she?" she asked slightly tremblingly.

Calvin froze.

"Calvin, isn't she pregnant with your child?" Sophia asked seriously again.

Calvin was dull, unable to say a word.

"Calvin, are you such a kind of person?" Sophia glared at him and said sternly, "You made her pregnant, and then dumped her! Our family won’t do such irresponsible things! If others know about it, what will they comment on you? I would like to ask you how to run the company in the future, how to convince others and how to lead the staffs of Harvey Corp. to start a new career?”

Calvin was shocked by Sophia's repeated questioning. His face turned pale. He stood upright, unable to say a word.

"Calvin, you have to be responsible for the things you did. Being a person is far more important than doing things. You have to be upright and honest. As long as you are upright and honest, you don't have to worry about other things. But look what you did! Since you can't be an upright and kind person, how could you lead and require others? We are a famous family. Integrity and reputation are very important for us. You are the descendant of the Harvey family. You should pay more attention to your words and deeds. You’re an adult. You have to take on your own mistakes. No one has the responsibility to tolerate the mistakes you have made. Since you have done it, you have to bear them." Sophia's voice was cold and harsh, without any partiality.

"No, Grandma, the person I love is Belle. I have never loved Lexie. Never! I have seen it clearly now. The person I want to marry is Belle." Calvin had already realized what Grandma meant. He hastily emphasized.

Didn't Grandma always value Belle? How could she suddenly change her mind?

"Nonsense." Sophia said sharply, "Since you don't love Lexie, why did you make her get pregnant? Don't you know the responsibility? Don’t you know what you should do and what you should not do? Don’t you know what is right or wrong?"

Calvin was completely dumbfounded.

Originally, he came to ask Grandma for support. But now, it seemed impossible. Grandma had completely changed her mind.

"But, Grandma, I didn’t want her to get pregnant. Martin framed me. Grandma, I have never loved Lexie. How could I possibly touch her?" Calvin was already on the verge of despair.

"Okay, then I'll ask you again. Is the child in Lexie's belly yours? You just need to answer me this now." Sophia asked tremblingly.

"This..." Calvin couldn’t answer. The scene when he woke up at Hilton that night...

He was speechless.

Sophia understood everything!

Martin had always had a nasty mind. In fact, for so many years, the reason why Sophia refused to let Martin's mother, Emma, enter the Harvey family was not because she hated her. Sophia had sent someone to investigate Emma. She was sloppy and dirty. Besides, her family's reputation was not very good. So Sophia firmly opposed to this.

After Martin was born, considering that he couldn’t grow up in a good environment, Sophia often brought him into Harvey Mansion to take care of. Gradually, she found that he had a strange personality. He hid himself so deeply, and never showed his emotions easily. Even sometimes, he did things with revenge. Sophia was worried about him when she thought of the environment in which he grew up.

His grandfather Dexter seemed to see it too, so he could only train Martin to be an official on the grounds that he was ruthless and secretive.

However, there were only a few grandchildren in the Harvey family. Besides, Evan had no children.

Therefore, Sophia made the decision to bring Emma's children into the Harvey family, in order to allow them to grow up in a good environment and grow into good people.

But Sophia didn't expect that Martin would become like this.

Now she really had nothing to say except feeling sad.

She had always loved Calvin, so the requirement to him was much stricter.

The reason why she opposed that Calvin married Lexie in the past was because of her many years of experience in knowing people. She didn’t like Lexie, but now it was different. Lexie was already pregnant with Calvin's child. No matter how reluctant Calvin was, he had to marry her. After all, this child was his.

People must be responsible for the things they did. Since Lexie got pregnant, Calvin must take responsibility.

This was her request to Calvin.

Lexie had been with Calvin for more than three years. Now she had his child. If he told others that he didn't like her, who would believe it? Besides, if he really didn't like her, why didn't he say it earlier? Why did he say it now?

It was not Lexie's fault. Calvin was also to blame.

Besides, Tristan was not easy to fool.

How could he let go of Calvin and Harvey Corp.?

Even if he didn’t bring down Harvey Corp., he would make Calvin suffer.

She, Sophia, wasn’t confused!

She wanted to protect Harvey Corp. and Harvey Mansion as long as she was alive. She wanted that her grandson could live well. Now, she had no choice!

"Calvin, everything is caused by you own. Now, no matter who you love or who you hate, it's useless. You are a man of the Harvey family. You can’t be commented as ungrateful. You have to take the responsibility what you should take." Sophia said expressionlessly.

Calvin suddenly felt a chill and dizzy.

"No! Grandma, why? Why did you change your mind? You have always liked Belle. She is my wife and in our family tree. Grandma, the person I should marry is Belle, right?" Calvin suddenly squatted in front of Sophia like a child, looking at her and asked.

Sophia lowered her head. Seeing his helpless and sad face, she sighed deeply.

"Calvin, you are really stupid. Is my love useful? Four years ago, I gave you Belle, but how did you treat her? Didn't you two still get divorced? Now, you can marry Lexie and also have this opportunity, but you want to marry Belle. Can you tell me why you did this? How can I comment on your behaviors? Now, it is what it is. I can't help you. If I stick to my choice, everyone will laugh at our family. Besides, it's immoral." Sophia said tremblingly with tears, "Kid, all those things I said are just a trick that I want to wake up you who have gone astray. But what society is it now? Can these things be bigger than the law? Tristan is an official. He naturally knows that the law is inviolable. Now, you have no choice."

Calvin was completely desperate. He collapsed, with a blank face.

There was only Belle's crying and pale face in his mind. At this moment, he really realized that he might lose her forever!

Huge grief, anger and anxiety shrouded him, as well as the pain, as if he was skinned. Such pain made his heart twitch.

He was at a loss and didn't know what to do!

"Kid, I have been made very clear. Take your own faults and learn from them. I believe that the evil in this world will never win. There will always be a day when the clouds and mists are cleared."

Calvin stood up.

He didn't know how he left Ink Garden. He walked aimlessly, like a lonely ghost without a soul!

Why did it become like this!

At that time, he didn't want to marry Belle, but his grandmother firmly opposed it. He was in pain and helpless. He went to drink. At least there was an excuse and at least there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart! He would dream of that girl. So he focused on work and ignored everything.

Now, he wanted to marry Belle, but he was opposed by everyone, including his grandma. He would not hesitate to bear all the infamy for Belle. He was willing to lose everything, just to marry her.

But his courage was too ridiculous. He was too naïve!

He was a descendant of the Harvey family. His grandmother didn’t allow him to do this. His mother didn’t allow him to do this. Besides, the worldly morality didn’t allow him to do this. What did he do wrong?

"Ma’am, it seems that Mr. Calvin now really likes Belle. The expression on his face is not fake. Do you have the heart to watch him marry Lexie? To be honest, Lexie is not good. Although she is the mayor's daughter and powerful, I don't like her. She is definitely not worthy of Mr. Calvin. Apart from making mistakes in relationship, Mr. Calvin is very good in other aspects. If he marries Lexie like this, he may not be happy." Ruth asked worriedly, looking at Calvin's lost and depressed back.

She thought that Sophia knew it. After all, Calvin’s wife would be the heir of Harvey Mansion, which was important to the Harvey family. But she heard what Sophia said to Calvin. She thought that Sophia was just to scare him on purpose. Soon, Sophia's painful voice sounded.

"This child woke up too late. It's late now. If he doesn't marry Lexie, he will be scolded by everyone, and even be attacked by Tristan in revenge. He is now in trouble. I can't do anything about it now. Everyone has to bear the consequences for their own mistakes. No one can help him. He has no choice now, unless the child in Lexie's belly is not Calvin's. Otherwise he has to marry her. Maybe our family is not good enough to have a daughter-in-law like Belle."

When Sophia said this, she felt sad and shed tears of grief.

Ruth was also stunned. She thought that Sophia was just trying to frighten Calvin and would try to stop it. After all, she liked Belle. Now, Belle and Calvin were in love. It should be a happy event for everyone. But everyone didn't expect such a change. Now, even Sophia no longer insisted.

Could it be that Calvin could only marry that pretentious woman? If this was the case, Harvey Mansion would not be peaceful in the future!

Thinking of this, Ruth gasped.
