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.
