Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 185

The wind and snow are blowing.

On top of the high stone arch bridge, Belle stands against a stone pier, below which is the still unfrozen river, its unfathomable water flowing slowly towards the front.

Belle stood on the bridge pier, lost in thought as she looked out over the swiftly flowing river.

This is the Shidunzi River on the outskirts of the city, a river that runs through A City. The snow drifts in the sky and the place is off the beaten track in this weather.

Belle looked on quietly, just one more step forward and she could jump into the river and then there would be no pain whatsoever.

But she stood motionless, just staring blankly out at the river.

When Calvin came over, he was seeing her standing against the wind and snow, leaning slightly forward.

"Belle." His heart was about to stop.

If she jumped forward, if he mobilised all the people to save her, it would not save her life.

It's a river, and below it is a river so unfathomably deep that if one jumps in, one doesn't come up alive.

"Don't come any closer." Belle had long since heard the footsteps approaching her and turned around, pointing her finger at him and shouting. The wind and snow drifted over her head, her body shivering as she shouted hoarsely, as if that thin body would fall at any moment.

Calvin's heart tightened and he looked at her nervously, "Belle, can you listen to my explanation?"

He attempted to approach her slowly, speaking carefully.

"Get out of my way, and if you come any closer, I'll jump right out of here so you'll never see me again." She gritted her teeth and said coldly.

Calvin stood still not daring to take another step forward.

"Belle, come here, I have something to say." He beckoned towards her, with an expectant light in his eyes.

Belle looked at him coldly.

"What do you have to say? Are you going to tell me that Lexie is pregnant? Or are you going to tell me that you're ready to get married?" Her voice was like an illusory magic voice floating in the air, cold and sorrowful. Calvin's face went white, and he could not uttered a word.

Belle smiled coldly as he was speechless.

"You went to great lengths to keep me from going back to Harvey Mansion, just to hide the truth from me, so that you could continue to cheat me out of my feelings, didn't you?" She clenched her teeth and painfully pursued the question, "Am I right?"

"Belle, it's not like that, it's not at all what you think." Calvin finally snapped out of his daze and loudly denied it.

"Not like that?" Belle suddenly laughed, "Calvin, even now you still want to deceive me. It was me who was stupid to believe you time and time again, to believe that you still love me, how could I be so stupid? Tell you what, I will never trust you again."

Tears started to come to her eyes, and she questioned tearfully, "Calvin, what exactly have I done to offend you? Why do you have to lie to me and hurt me again and again? Just because I shouldn't marry you? If you want to marry Lexie, tell me earlier, I have no problem with it, but why do you have to deceive me? Are you used to sweet-talking every woman, used to promising every woman that you will marry her? How can you bear to do this?"

Belle cried out, and her heart ached. She squatted down, salty tears flowing into her mouth full of bitterness, she bit her lips tightly, her ears still recalling the sweet words he had said, Belle, we will get re-married when we return to A City. Belle, you go to America first to help my father with his illness, and then we will have a wedding when you return.

Such a promise, spoken so eloquently and naturally, convinced her deeply.

But it's only been a short while and Lexie is pregnant!

That's ridiculous.

And they are going to get married, even Grandma agrees.

Only she was still acting like a fool, still dreaming that he would love her with all his heart!

How could she be so stupid!

Calvin stood frozen in the snow, watching her huddle there, at first crying out in anguish, gradually crying silently. Her suppressed sobs drifted over through the cold wind.

His heart was so hard that he tightened his fists.

He dare not approach her for fear that she will suddenly jump backwards.

Right now, all he wanted was to calm her down and get out of that terrible river, too late to think about anything but how to pull her over.

"Belle, can you calm down, I don't want this either." An hour had passed and Calvin was still repeating these words.

"Go away, I don't want to see you." Belle was too tired of crouching and sat down on the snow, shouting coldly.

"Belle, don't sit on the ground, you'll catch a cold." Seeing she sitting on the snow, the cold wind was blowing, her body seemed to be blown by the wind at any moment and drifted into the horrible and gloomy river below, his heart raised to his throat, like a needle point stabbing, dense and painful beyond words.

She was already convinced that he was lying to her and her distrust of him was at an all-time high.

And now was not the perfect time to explain.

He must get out of here as soon as possible!

Calvin had never felt so sad and helpless before, not knowing what to do to calm the anger and grief in her heart.

"Belle, can't you think about how I've been treating you all these days?" Calvin's voice was dumb with emotion and reason, trying to convince her, "Get up, I'll take you to see your mother, okay? She's looking forward to you every day."

He coaxed her, his voice moving and melodious, "Belle, your mother has recovered from her illness, you must think of her more and not let her worry."

These words of Calvin simply tickled Belle's heart, and the anger in her heart spurted out.

Thinking of her mother, Belle was even more grief-stricken. If her mother knew about her condition, would she still be able to recover from this illness?

Tears burst out of her eyes, and she stood up, her eyes like sharp blades flashing with a cold light, her voice as cold as a needle, stabbing Calvin's heart with her words, "Bastard, what do you have in mind? You want to kill my mother with anger? You know how sick my mother is now, if you let her know about my condition, will she still be alive?"

Calvin froze, always the mere mention of her mother would shake her spirit, but now, even that didn't work! Instead, it invited even anger from her.

Immediately, his mouth opened in shock, not knowing what to do.

When Belle suddenly stood up after crouching for a long time, coupled with the fact that she was in the midst of her anger, surprisingly, her eyes went black for a while after saying this, and her body swayed so much that she could not see the direction at all.

"Belle." Seeing her body about to fall down towards the river, Calvin's heart rose to his throat. With quick movement, he rushed up, stretched out and wrapped them around her, confining her in his arms, before he let out a sigh of relief and quickly carried her away from the bridge.

The feeling of dependence that she had forced herself to cut off in her heart for a moment bubbled up again, and after taking a few hard breaths in his arms, Belle pushed him hard and struggled to run away as if she had been tainted with a poisonous substance.

This feeling of dependency is awful!

It is enough to ruin her happiness in this life. If he married Lexie, how could she remain by his side? Forgetting him became the only thing to do in the future.

The more she is attached to this smell, the more the future pain will be, and she does not confine herself for life to this empty love.

"Let go of me." She struggled, but of course, her strength was too puny compared to that of a strong man, but that didn't mean she wouldn't resist.

She had decided that from today onwards she would completely forget the man in front of her, the man who could sway her feelings and would make her suffer for the rest of her life. Once she had forgotten everything because of her love for him and would even take the initiative to find excuses to forgive him, but in future, she would not!

This man is no longer worth staying with.

Stamping her feet, shaking her head, gnashing her teeth when she couldn't move her hands because he had confined her, she was like a raging lion who hated the cage that held her captive.

Calvin picked her up by the waist and walked towards the Hummer. He couldn't let her stay in the snow and ice any longer. Her body was already weak and she would die if she stayed like this.

He just wrapped his arms tightly around her and walked towards the car.

There was a sharp stinging pain that came from his hand, and the pain caused his mouth to open wide and let out a sound.

This woman actually bit down on his hand with her teeth and did not let go because she could not struggle. She bit down so hard that Calvin only felt that the piece of flesh on the back of his hand was about to be bitten off by her.

Enduring the pain, he opened the door in the back of the Hummer, placing her on the soft bed.

This woman must have been furious, like she wanted to take out all her hatred on his hands, just biting his hand and not letting go.

It was only when the strong smell of blood filled her nose that she gave up, falling limply onto the bed as if she were deflated.

Calvin looked at the deep circle of teeth marks on the back of his hand still bubbling with blood, and his eyes were gloomy.

With the heating on full, he dropped onto the bed, and Belle curled up on the soft bed, not moving a muscle.

He closed his eyes, with a deep sense of helplessness.

A grim smile from Martin floated in his mind.

This damnable guy said that, if he can't get Belle, Calvin can't get her either. He designed this damned plot to make him sleep with Lexie and make her pregnant, so that it would be the same as tying him up, there is no way out in this life except to marry Lexie.

This was all designed by that shady Martin. Calvin's veins at the corners of his forehead jumped and his teeth clenched.

Even if he were to explain it to her, she would not believe it.

What can be done if she believes? As Grandma said, the truth has been cast, and as long as Lexie is carrying his child in her belly, he has to take the responsibility for it, which is a man's due responsibility.

He can't escape this spell anymore!

Unless Lexie can abort this baby!

At this thought, he snapped open his eyes.
