Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 741

This was the end! Jerry could feel that Calvin was being serious that time around. It was very likely that his father was going to punish him. Tears started to well up in his eyes as he spoke.

"Dad, you didn't even have the ability to protect Mom. Why can't you let me protect her?"

Calvin was immediately stunned when he heard Jerry's words. He unknowingly relaxed his hold on his son's hand.

Jerry, aware that he was right, smiled. His heart was bursting with pride.

He knew that whenever Calvin wanted to give him the stick, all he had to do was to mention Belle's name and his expression would change, being exceptionally benevolent to him. It was no exception that time.

However, by then, it was a complete turnaround.

Calvin had only paused for a moment before coming back to his senses. He admonished him. "Jerry boy, if I don't punish you now, then you are bound to get into trouble sooner or later. I would have let your late mother down."

As he spoke, he grabbed him by the arms and walked towards the living room.

Jerry was frightened. His eyes widened and he felt his head spinning. However, he came out of his daze quickly.

As soon as Calvin threw Jerry onto the couch, he took advantage of the situation and rolled onto the carpet. While rolling, he cried, "O Merciful Lord, please have pity on me. A boy without a mother I am, and my father still wants to torture me."

He cried out pitifully.

Just as Calvin was about to punish Jerry, his heart was softened by the sound of his sobs. He froze in his spot, unable to say anything.

This child already led such a hard life. Belle had suffered a lot outside when she was pregnant with him. It hadn't been easy for them to reunite, yet Belle had left them. Not only that, that had been his second time being harmed by those bad people.

After all, he was just a child.

The reason he ended up like this was that his beloved mother had died in front of a bad person. This was a great psychological blow to Jerry. Even an adult like Calvin wasn't able to come to terms with it, let alone a child like Jerry.

As soon as he thought about it, he gave up on the idea of punishing Jerry. A wave of guilt and pain billowed in his chest.

Jerry was right. He was incapable!

He did not have the ability to protect his wife and son, so what right did he have to punish Jerry?

Hence, this had been his motivation to fortify the Harvey Group into an empire. He would never allow any Trojan horse to succeed again. Just as he finally had everything under his control, his other half was no longer here.

Now that Jerry was kicking up a fuss, he was at his mercy!

He might have a successful career, but in the face of his son, he was completely hopeless.

He closed his eyes and dropped down onto the couch, with tears in his eyes.

He had no idea how he had managed to get through the past year. He wasn't able to relax at all. He could only bury himself with work to make up for his guilt and heartache. He did not want to think about these painful pasts. However, in the dead of the night, even though he was sleep deprived, he still would not be able to fall asleep. He would stay up and think about all the past memories involving Belle.

He knew that he owed her big time and that he would never be able to pay it back for the rest of his life.

While on the verge of death, Belle had done everything she could to throw Jerry to safety, sacrificing her own life in the process. Furthermore, she had also been pregnant at the time. This maternal love would often put him to shame, and an unbearable pain would shoot through his entire body.

As her husband, he could not do anything about it. He could only watch her as she fell off the cliff into the river. During the past year, whenever he dreamed about her, he would be jolted awake from the heartache.

After Belle had left, Rosa would occasionally fly over from the USA to take care of Jerry. Of course, Martin would always accompany her, tailing her like a lost puppy. The only time they were separated was when Rosa had to attend a class. Otherwise, they were basically joined by the hip.

"Jerry, do you miss me?" Rosa took Jerry from Paige's arms and hugged him as she asked in a coy tone.

After Belle's death, she felt a great deal of pity for Jerry, and even more so for Belle's suffering. She would often remember the pain in her heart and come back to visit Jerry whenever she could. She would also take the opportunity to take care of matters in Harvey Manor.

Jerry wrapped his arms around Rosa and shamelessly said, "Aunt Rosa, I miss you so much. You have to spend as much time as you can with me."

"Rosa, Martin, you're back!" Calvin said as he quietly wiped away the tears from his eyes. He lifted his tired face and greeted the two before standing up. "Martin, come over here. I have something to discuss with you."

As he spoke, he took the lead in groping his way up the stairs and headed for the study.

"Rosa, why don't you stay here and accompany Aunt Paige and Jerry? I'll head upstairs for a while," Martin said to Rosa before following Calvin up the stairs.

"Rosa, it's all thanks to you for often coming back to take care of Jerry over the past year. You even help to take care of the matters in Harvey Manor." After Martin left, Paige took Rosa's hand and sat down on the couch. She smiled and said, "Jerry, look at how beautiful Aunt Rosa's dress is. It can't be good if you dirtied her dress, can it?"

Paige said lovingly to Jerry as she took him from Rosa's arms and sat him on her lap.

Jerry pouted his lips and ensconced himself obediently on Paige's lap.

"Aunt Paige, Belle left us all of a sudden. She was so kind to me when she was alive. She treated me better than my own sister. Jerry is too pitiful. Plus, Calvin is so busy, and he's not willing to hire anyone to take care of Jerry. He insists on doing everything himself. Isn't that an impossible mission. I don't feel at ease, so I make sure to come back and take care of Jerry whenever I have the time. This is my duty," Rosa said in a low voice as tears started to pool in her eyes.

Tears started to well up in Paige's eyes when Rosa mentioned Belle. She lowered her head and wiped away her tears.

Both of them fell into grief for a moment and did not say anything.
