Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 526

"Calvin held her waist with one hand and her small hand with his other. He exerted more strength to stop her from getting up, as he knew that Belle had a grudge against him. However, he didn't explain anything. He just held her, and the two continued to nestle like that."

"Seeing him trying to soothe her, Belle said bitterly, ""Don't worry. I'll fulfil my duty as the legal wife that day. I'll prepare the wedding for you, and make it grand and glorious, so that you won't be embarrassed. Since I've promised you, I'll definitely do it."""

"Calvin caressed her sallow face as gently as the spring breeze. After a while, he asked softly, ""Belle, are you really personally going to host the wedding for me? You can choose not to participate."""

"No, I want to participate. I want others to see how virtuous and generous I am as a wife. I want people to know that you already have a very virtuous wife, and then let all the men in A City admire you and set a precedent, so that they can take a second wife the right way. Belle mocked Calvin in a sorrowful and stubborn manner."

Calvin's gaze turned solemn as the muscles on his face stiffened. He then fixed his gaze on her face.

"Belle, if you're gonna hate me because of this, then hate me, he said in a low voice. There was a trace of sorrow and helplessness in his voice."

"Belle wanted to laugh. He would gain fame and benefit from it. So, how could he still act as if he was in pain?"

He should continue to put on an act!

"From beginning to end, he was the one who had the final say. He had never discussed anything with her and had never prioritized her presence at all. The day before, he had even made a decision in a domineering manner in front of everyone, without discussing it with her beforehand. Belle wouldn't even be surprised if she was the last one to learn about it. Furthermore, Jerry was his own son, and that woman had harmed his own son. How could he endure it? It appeared as if that man was really a jerk and a very big jerk at that!"

Did he care about Jerry's and her feelings when he was doing those things?

What about you? Do you have something to say to me? He felt her sadness and asked softly in her ear with his lips against her ear.

"Madam Lilian came back to A City. I saw her at the auction yesterday and wanted to treat her to a special meal. Belle briefly expressed her thoughts. At that time, she really didn't want to say any unnecessary words to him."

Did Madam Lilian attend the auction too? Calvin was surprised when he heard that.

"Yes, she attended the auction and even competed with me for the jade fan. Belle was also very confused about it, as she answered softly."

I see. Calvin was very surprised. "It's an honor to be able to treat her to a meal. Are you sure she will be coming?"

"He was very interested in that matter. At the last banquet, Madam Lilian had shown a special interest in Belle. Therefore, it would be a good thing if Belle could treat Madam Lilian to a meal. He would support her with all his might."

"Of course. It was Madam Lilian who proposed to have a meal with me. She initially wanted to eat street food but was stopped by her staff. So, I suggested treating her to a special meal. Belle thought about Madam Lilian's behavior the day before, and she really thought that Madam Lilian was a very cordial and kind old woman. She didn't put on airs at all. Sometimes, she even showed great interest in some trivial things like a child."

That was why she didn't find it difficult to treat Madam Lilian to a meal and didn't understand why the outside world would view her that way.

"As she thought about that, a knowing smile appeared on her face."

"Oh. So, that's it. Calvin seemed to be deep in thought as he replied. Then, he looked at his wife. She finally had a smile on her face."

"Indeed, Madam Lilian was very interested in his wife and was a very thoughtful person. He immediately teased her. ""Belle, it seems like you're so charming that people of all genders have a good impression of you, as now even an old woman likes you. It makes me feel moved."""

"Upon hearing that, Belle rolled her eyes at him. ""Alright, then. No matter how charming I am, I can't marry two husbands. Compared to you, it's a long shot for me. In terms of this, I still have to acknowledge you as someone who's in a better position than me."""

"Calvin's face darkened, and he tightened his grip on her hand. ""Honey, can you not ridicule me?"""

Belle snorted and turned her face away.

"Calvin looked at her back and was stunned for a long time. He then recalled his plan. So, he could only let her do as she liked. At the moment, he called Maud, and asked him to take several people with him to protect Belle, and left in a hurry."

"As soon as Belle went out, she met Sergio."

"Belle, good morning. Sergio sized her up with a burning gaze and finally looked at her face. There was a look of approval in his eyes as he smiled warmly."

"Belle didn't expect that she would meet him in Fragrance Garden. After a moment of shock, she could only force a smile when facing his enthusiasm."

"She was sure that Calvin would follow her out soon. Recalling his warning not to have any interactions with Sergio, she simply nodded with a smile and walked away from him. However, when she passed Sergio, he grabbed her arm."

"Belle, where are you going? Should I go with you? Seeing how Belle was dressed, Sergio knew that she was going out. So. he hurriedly pulled her. ""How can you go out alone? I'm worried about you."""

"Belle had never thought that Sergio would dare to pull her arm even at her doorstep. She was a married woman, and her husband who was following behind her would arrive anytime soon. His action caused Belle to be at a loss for a moment. After a while, she regained her senses and immediately shook his hands off, saying coldly, ""It's alright. Mr. Xanthe, please mind your own business."""

"Belle, have you forgotten that you were almost murdered the last time? Are you really not worried about your own safety by going out alone? Sergio asked worriedly."

"Sergio was very worried if Belle were to go out alone. At the moment, his heart was constantly thinking of her, worrying about her safety, and he didn't want anything to happen to her. He was being sincere, without the slightest hint of hypocrisy."

"Evidently, Belle was aware of that as well. Nevertheless, after a moment of pondering, she replied in an indifferent tone, ""Don't worry, I'll pay more attention to my safety."""

"After saying that, she seemed to have heard footsteps coming from behind. She was not sure if those were Calvin's, but she didn't want him to misunderstand the situation. So, she lowered her head and hurried off."
