Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 331

"Good morning, Miss Morris. Mr. Holland greeted Belle warmly and instructed the children to self-study."

"Good morning, Mr. Holland. Belle nodded back at him politely with a smile on his face."

"Miss Morris, I have something to talk about with you today, Mr. Holland mumbled sheepishly as he led Belle to the staff room."

"It seemed that he seldom interacted with women. He was stuttering when he spoke to Belle, his cheeks tainted with a faint blush."

"Oh okay. What about it? Belle was a little amused. Nonetheless, she replied cordially, trying to ease his nervousness. "

"It has come to my attention that several children have been missing school over the past two days. I don't know what the reasons are, and I couldn't seem to get in touch with the parents. Therefore, the school has come to a consensus to conduct a home visit. I'd like to ask you to come with me, Mr. Holland explained earnestly."

"Belle realized that this matter was truly pressing. If a child was absent without a valid reason and we couldn't contact the parents, that could mean that something bad had happened. Belle nodded hastily and said, ""Sure, this matter mustn't be taken lightly. We have to figure this out as soon as possible. The children are very young and it wouldn't be good if something bad were to have happened."""

"Mr. Holland echoed her sentiments, worry evident on his face."

The two of them decided to head over to the neighborhood for a visit after the second period.

"It was March, and Jenova City was blessed with the light spring rain. The breeze was cooling and the weather was gradually warming up."

"Calvin hopped on the city bus with Aron after getting off the plane. It took a long while before they finally reached Wullen Town. There was no airport there, so flying there was out of the question."

"He had heard of Jenova City, and he had always thought that it was a very romantic place."

"They saw willows covering the bridge as they walked along the overpass. It was drizzling and the rain fell on their heads gently. The streets were quiet without anyone else in sight, and there wasn't the usual buzzing of moving cars in a metropolitan city."

It was truly surprising to see such a quaint town in a big city!

"Calvin felt refreshed as he stepped on the cobbled streets of Wullen Town. His entire body was revitalized, and he felt an inexplicable sense of comfort and ease. He took deep breaths as the gentle and soft rain pitter-pattered on his face, taking in that moment of tranquility. It was an endless feeling of love and enjoyment."

"It reminded him of the woman he only loved. She used to run her small hands through his hair and touch his face gently, and his heart would flutter every time."

Calvin could feel his heart stirring. It was a bittersweet feeling and a hint of agony appeared in his bright eyes.

"Mr. Harvey, the chemical plant is not far from here. Are we...? Aron whispered."

"There's no hurry. Let's find a hotel to check in first. We'll observe the place for a few days before proceeding, Calvin said resolutely."

Okay. Aron nodded. "I'll look for a hotel first."

Calvin looked up at the sky. It was getting late.

He didn't expect that they would only arrive in Wullen Town in the evening even though they had left A city Tristany in the morning. He was attracted by the scenery of Jenova City. He wanted to relax for a few days and come up with a plan after proper observation."

"Although it was a primitive town with a very romantic atmosphere, it was still surrounded by modernity. On the other side of Wullen Town were high-rise buildings, most of which were hotels and general stores."

"Compared to the other side's modern style, Calvin was more interested in the vibes that Jenova City had to offer. He refused firmly when Aron suggested for them to stay in the most luxurious hotel in Wullen Town. Instead, he chose a vintage and modest cottage on the other side of the river, a personification of the style of Jenova City."

They checked into the cottage and settled in their rooms. Calvin's interest was piqued after dinner. He went downstairs and meandered along the streets.

"There were numerous old houses, crisscrossed rivers, and crescent-shaped bridges connecting the rivers."

"Calvin wandered along the narrow streets. He was wearing a handsome suit. With his muscular figure and flawless features, he peppered a lot of color to this ancient town."

A lot of passers-by turned to look at him. 

The corners of Calvin's lips curled into a smile. He paid no heed to the prying eyes of those around him. He merely immersed himself in the quaint atmosphere.

He subconsciously walked into an alley. It was so narrow that it could barely fit a car. He ambled slowly.

He was enjoying the scenery on both sides.

An old man with a white beard was concentrating on making some cotton candy on the street. The smell was so enticing that it whetted his appetite. He took out 20 dollars from his wallet and bought himself one.

"Here you go, and your change, the old man said with a smile and a benevolent look."

"Oh, you can keep it. Calvin plucked a fluff of cotton candy and brought it into his mouth. It was sweet, soft, and tasted rather decent. Seeing the 15 dollars that the old man handed him, he smiled and shook his head."

"That won't do. The price for my cotton candy has always been the same. I could tell from your looks that you're not local. I've been in this business for my entire life. I won't rip anyone off, nor will I accept more payment than I should. This is my way of life, the old man said seriously. He forced the change back into Calvin's hands."

Calvin had no choice but to take it back with a helpless smile.

"Surely enough, the folks here were simple and honest. They valued kindness and humility."

"Belle, he's already a year old. You shouldn't pamper him like that. I don't even know when he would finally wean off you/ Kate sighed as she shook her head. Life was already tough for Belle, and Kate felt sorry for her daughter. Only when he had weaned could her daughter finally relax a little."

"Belle smiled wryly as she stroked the little guy's tender face with her hand. She said in her heart, ""Let him grow out of it himself. He couldn't possibly insist on it anymore once he becomes three, right?"""

It was as though the little fellow could understand her thoughts. He suddenly smiled sweetly in her arms.

"Aren't you cheeky? Caressing his smiling face, Belle was so happy that her exhaustion seemed to have vanished into thin air."

A tall and slender figure could be seen walking past the courtyard.

"When Calvin walked back to the small courtyard, he could not help but to look in this direction. The child in the house had stopped crying, and it was quiet and peaceful once again."

"The small fence of the iron gate was still left ajar, and it was shaking slightly. Obviously, someone had just opened the gate earlier."

It seemed that the kid's parents had returned and appeased him.

He slowly paced towards the end of the alley with a shallow sadness in his heart.

"Even though Calvin was exhausted that night, sleep did not claim him. It was only in the wee hours of the morning that he finally dozed off in a daze."

"The air smelled of fresh rain and damp ground. For some reason, Calvin couldn't seem to fall into a deep sleep. He tossed and turned on the bed, only resting for a few minutes at a time. It was a long night for him."

"Calvin was not in good spirits when he woke up the next day. He wandered around in the small town, not in the mood for work."

"Mr. Holland was sitting in the office with a frown on his face when Belle returned to school the next day, "

"She thought it was rather strange, and she asked softly, ""Mr. Holland, what's wrong?"""

"Mr. Holland sighed and stared at Belle's face, his mind turning blank. After a while, his face turned red and he said sadly, ""Miss Morris, there are several children who skipped school today."""

"Belle's eyebrows furrowed, her heart laden with worry."

Is it all because of the crisis? She looked extremely serious.

"Yes, the factory has troubles looking for a buyer for the materials they've produced. The people are getting frustrated, and a large number of raw materials have been piled up. The factory has sent several salesmen to neighboring towns, but they haven't found a good business partner yet. The other party would either haggle the price down or decline the request because it would be inconvenient for them to come all the way here. If this situation persists, the factory will be shut down within a month. The staff of the factory has not been receiving their salaries for the past few months too. Everyone looked distraught and none of them were in the mood to send their children to school, Mr. Holland said with a sigh."
