Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 192

Calvin stood outside, watching in disbelief as Belle disappeared from sight, hearing the door being heavily closed by her, and he seemed to have heard the sound of vomiting inside the house.

But he never had the courage to go up to the door, knowing that even if he did, the door would not open.

After standing for a moment in bewilderment, it seemed that he heard the movement inside the door subsiding, and Calvin walked towards the outside.

His phone rang.

"Mr. Harvey, we found another evidence of Tristan's embezzlement of public funds today, should we arrest the witnesses?" On the other end of the phone was Luca's surprised voice.

Calvin's face was expressionless and he didn't even raise his eyelids.

So what? Even if he brought Tristan down, could he abandon Lexie? She was still carrying his child in her womb.

His grandmother wouldn't allow it, his mother wouldn't allow it, and even Belle didn't think it was possible.

"Let's call it quits for now." He said indifferently, hanging up the phone feebly. Sitting in the Hummer, he leaned his head against the steering wheel, absent-minded, feeling powerless for the first time, feeling like his life sucked.

Never did he expect that such a dilemma would arise in his life, that it would overwhelm him in such a way that it would knock him completely off his feet.

In the mini-bar, Calvin was alone with his alcohol. After several glasses in a row, his head started to feel a bit dizzy.

"Mr. Harvey, why are drinking alone here? Did you get kicked out by your wife?" Maxim, by coincidence, was here to inspect his bar, but unexpectedly saw Calvin drinking alone here. He was surprised that Calvin had something bothering him, so he patted Calvin’s shoulder and teased.

"Get lost." Calvin was impatient, glaring as he bellowed.

Maxim was taken back that Calvin really had something frustrating him, but he still said with kind intention, “Look at you, you must have a bad time in love. Come on, I will play with you.”

Calvin's head was dizzy because of the alcohol, but Maxim was so strong that he helped him up easily.

When Calvin was helped up by Maxim, he realised that he was so heavy-headed.

In the box, Maxim made another phone call, Callum and Jordan rushed over immediately. The three of them saw Calvin lying on the sofa with a red face, looking like he had drunk a lot, and they all became curious.

It was a rare occurrence that Mr. Harvey had encountered something so troubling that he had to go to the extent of drinking to kill the sorrow.

In their eyes, Calvin had been strong and would not fall down. He usually attached importance to his image, even if he was busy, he was always in a suit, dashing, but now, he was like a man who had been abandoned by a woman.

"Hey, Mr. Harvey, wake up, have you been abandoned by any woman? Do you really have true feelings?" Maxim shook Calvin's shoulder and said playfully.

The waiter brought the sober soup, and a moment later Calvin looked up after being provoked, "Why are you guys here?"

He looked up and was very surprised to see three of his friends around him.

Maxim scoffed, "Mr. Harvey, give us an honest account of why you are in such a mess."

Calvin gave then a glance, standing up to leave.

"Don't, don't." The three of them got up at the same time and pulled him back, sitting him down on the sofa, said with a smile, "Mr. Harvey, when we heard that you were in a bad mood, we rushed over to soothe you. But you are now leaving, how can you do that? Come on, to relieve your grieve, we'll play mahjong with you."

Someone had already turned on the mahjong machine, the power was plugged in and it rang out.

Calvin was pestered by them and had no choice but to reluctantly sit down and play mahjong, which he played until almost midnight.

"Mr. Harvey, I heard that your father-in-law-to-be will be promoted to the mayor of A City, so please take care of us in the future." Maxim touched the mahjong, a cigarette in his mouth, teasing.

"You're smart enough to find a wife who is the daughter of an official.” Callum said, “It is rumored that you divorced your ex-wife in various kinds of means for the sake of marrying Lexie, in order to have connection with the mayor.”

With a bang, the mahjong in Calvin's hand fell straight onto the mahjong table and he shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

The aggression, anger and sorrow he had suppressed in his heart were uncovered.

It startled the three and they all looked at each other in disbelief.

Archer sat calmly, looked at Calvin and said indifferently, "You guys are mean, can you believe what you hear from hearsay?”

"I'm telling you, if you dare to give me any more nonsense, I'll cut you off." After yelling these words at them in a stern voice, Calvin stormed out of the room in a fury.

Maxim and Callum looked at each other in confusion, puzzled by his anger.

It was just a joke. They said it before, but it was not that serious.

Archer said, "You two are talking nonsense, so you have completely offended him."

He spread his hands, indicating that there was nothing to be done.

Calvin rushed out full of anger, sat down in the Hummer, started the car. After a few laps around the street, he was full of annoyance.

He pulled out a cigarette.

''Calvin, didn't you say you were going to quit smoking? Why are you smoking again?'' As the lighter lit the cigarette, the scene when Belle asked him to quit smoking flashed in his mind. His hands were shaking as he took a few deep puffs before he forced himself to calm down.

The mobile phone placed on the passenger seat rang.

It was Paige calling.

"Mom, what is it?"

"Calvin, where are you? It's been days since you've been home. Come back now, I need to see you." Paige grumbled on the other end of the phone, but her voice was excited.

Calvin frowned.

"Okay, I am on my way." Calvin put down his phone and took a few more deep puffs of his cigarette before driving towards Harvey Mansion.

The night was long and bleak, with only dim street lamps flickering in the cold wind in Harvey Mansion.

A single light was still on in the living room of the Fragrance Garden.

"Calvin, you are back." Calvin had just walked into the living room and he heard Paige's voice.

"Mom, why are you up so late?" Calvin found Paige was sitting in the corner of the sofa.

Ever since Belle left Harvey Mansion, if she hadn't called Calvin to come back, he wouldn't have come back. He did come back yesterday, but it was for Belle, and after she left, he followed and disappeared without even a phone call.

"Calvin, come and sit down, I can't fall sleep." Paige pointed to the sofa beside her and waved her hand towards him.

Calvin sat down next to Paige.

"Calvin, I just received a phone call saying that your father's arm can move, and the doctor said that this is a sign that he is going to get better and there is hope for him to stand up." Paige's face was glowing and full of excitement.

Hearing this, Calvin was startled and asked, "Mom, who called you?"

"I don’t know, so I asked you to come back. Last time, didn't you hire a top doctor from America to treat your father in the hospital? And you insisted on not letting me visit the hospital, so I asked you to come back and ask for clarification.” Paige said with joy on her face. If Hudson could wake up, it would be a great blessing.

Calvin froze and then made a call to America, and soon got a reply from there that the call to Harvey Mansion today was exactly from the hospital, and that Miss Morris had told them the phone number of Harvey Mansion.

After a moment of silence, Calvin understood that it seemed that today they had informed Belle and told her the happy news, and she asked them to call Paige at Harvey Mansion.

"Mom, Dad is indeed going to get better, but for the time being, I don't want anyone to know about it." Calvin said.

It could not be hidden from Paige, and after picking up Hudson, it could only be Paige who would go to take good care of him.

"Mom, I'll tell you to take care of Dad when I've made arrangements for him. I'll go to rest first." It was already late at night, and Calvin stood up and was going upstairs to rest.

"Calvin, what are you going to do with Lexie? Their family is calling day after day, I'm already tired of dealing with it." Paige also stood up, and had to bring it up knowing that her son did not want to talk about it.
