Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 321 I've Lost Belle

"Rhys pursed his thin lips slightly and asked lightly, ""If you were to stay by my side, can you love me

with your entire heart? Can you love me the way you loved him?"""

"Rhys, I beg you, don't force me. Please believe that time will dull everything. It was hard for her to

respond to such a request. Even she herself was lost. Martin had said previously that marriages that

bloomed from true love were such a rare occurrence. Staying by each other's side and mutual love

were two completely different things."

"Absorbing the confusion on her face, Rhys smiled bitterly in his heart."

"A woman loved a man with all her heart and she was even pregnant with his child. Even if she was

really willing to stay by his side and marry him, her heart would never belong to him."

"Of course, he understood this."

"However, did he really need this kind of commitment and company?"

They ate and chatted for a long time during this meal.

"When the two of them walked out of the warm and luxurious private room, the evening lights were

already lit." NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Belle took the initiative to support Rhys as they walked on the street.

"The handsome man and the beautiful woman were by each other's side. Where the man was tall,

sturdy and handsome, the woman was beautiful and adorable. On the street with flashing neon lights,

the two supported each other and paced slowly, indulging in the cold wind. They were talking and

laughing at the same time. The harmonious sight attracted passers-by to look at them from time to

time."

"Selflessly, Belle supported him as they walked. She was worried about his wound and did not care

about the eyes of passers-by at all."

"Rhys had a déjà vu, as if they had already known each other from their previous lives. However, they

were all treading their own paths and could never find an intersection to meet again."

"Like a cheetah zooming around the city avenues, the sturdy Hummer car swept across a gust of

wind."

Calvin's expression was serene as he walked out of Harvey Manor. He drove the car directly to the

government hospital.

It was already morning.

On the seventh day of the month.

"Giving up his time for recreation throughout the week, he could finally finish dealing with all the family

affairs in Harvey Manor."

He thought that he could provide Belle with a satisfactory explanation.

"The staff of the Harvey Group would come back to work the next day after the holiday. Before work, he

had to seize the chance to tell Belle that he had already remedied the injustice against Ethan and could

finally present a satisfactory answer for her."

It was not until this moment that his eagerness was so palpable. It seemed that he could not afford to

delay for even a moment.

He wanted to see his woman and his child. No one could take them away from him!

"Calvin rushed over in a hurry, only to catch a glimpse of an empty ward. He did not see anything

related to Rhys or Belle in the ward. A bad feeling welled up in his heart. He hastily asked the

nurse, ""Miss, where is the patient in this ward?"" "

"Over the past few days, he had been occupied with matters regarding Harvey Manor. He never

expected Rhys to leave the hospital so quickly with such a severe gunshot wound."

"Mr. Harvey, the patient in this ward has already been discharged from the hospital last night. The

nurse recognized Calvin and answered with an eager smile."

Discharged from the hospital? Calvin was perplexed!

"Has the patient recovered? Where did he go? His face was full of urgency, his body pooling with cold

sweat."

"The patient has not fully recovered. The doctor did not recommend him to leave the hospital either.

However, he insisted on leaving the hospital. As for where he had gone, I'm sorry. I have no idea. The

nurse saw that Calvin's face was a little horrifying and explained everything at once. Although the

handsome man in front of her was stunning and rich, his temper was extraordinarily short. As soon as

she answered his inquiry, she scurried away, not in the mood to admire his handsome face. She was

afraid that he would take his anger out on her at any time."

Where did they go?

D*mn woman. Where have you gone? Calvin thought to himself.

"In a haste, Calvin strode out and drove his car to Rhys's villa."

"Along the way, he was plagued with an uneasy feeling. He had not seen her for a few days, and this

woman did not even call him once. "

"Focusing all of her attention to take care of Rhys, she must have thrown Calvin to the back of her

mind. "

"Fine, just wait and see, Calvin thought."

"When I find you, I won't let you go."

D*mn woman. How dare you disregard me? You even dared to say that the child in your womb is not

mine. It couldn't be that my efforts to impregnate her was all in vain!

What a liar!

Calvin kept replaying the scenarios of her taking care of Rhys in the hospital for so many days. His

heart was exploding with bitter jealousy and it was not a good feeling at all.

The car soon stopped in front of the villa.

He rang the doorbell.

Lennox ran out.

"Where's Rhys? Ask him to come out. I want to meet him, asked Calvin loudly."

"Lennox's heart sank as soon as he saw him. Good gracious, it was this man again. Lennox thought

nervously. It seemed that whenever he came, he'd never left with ease."

"Hello, sir. Our master is no longer at home, he replied politely with a smile."

"Not at home? Calvin sneered coldly. To come up with such an excuse, Lennox must have assumed he

was a fool."

"Right now, tell him that I must bring my woman home today. Don't think that it'll be fine to hide her

away. Tell him that if I don't take her away, I won't let go of him. Calvin asserted his will in a

domineering manner. ""You must know who I am, don't you?"""

Lennox's scalp tingled as he lamented agonizingly in his heart.

"The man who could snatch a woman from Rhys must be difficult to deal with. Even though he didn't

know who exactly this man was, he was well aware of that point."

"Well, sir, my master is really not at home. He has left A City and will not come back for the time being.

He continued to answer with a miserable face."

What? He left A City? Calvin thought in shock.

"The moment these words left Lennox's mouth, Calvin almost fainted from shock!"

Where's Belle? Is that woman in there? He asked loudly with his heart in his throat. He gripped the

door tightly.

"When Lennox heard Calvin's question, he thought for a moment and immediately shook his head."

"Sir, she's not inside either. They left last night, he said truthfully. He was unnerved by the gloomy

expression on Calvin's face."

Where have they gone? roared Calvin angrily.

I really don't know. Master never tells me his whereabouts. Lennox's face was full of tears.

"They left A City together, didn't they? Calvin felt his chest begin to heave heavily, as if it was about to

burst out of his throat. His speech became labored."

"Should be. The only thing Mr. Atkinson had told me when he left was that he wants me to keep an eye

on the house, and that he'll go back to his hometown and won't come back for the time being. Lennox

thought for a while and explained further."

Calvin's hand held the iron door tightly. His knuckles turned crimson red.

"I don't believe you. You are lying to me. He gritted his teeth, not willing to leave this way."

"Lennox was helpless. He knew Calvin would not give up if he did not see it for himself. He had no

choice but to open the door and said with a serious tone, ""Sir, if you don't trust me, you can come in

for a search. There is no one else in this villa except for me."""

Lennox said as he let Calvin in.

Calvin could not care much. He quickly marched towards the living room of the villa.

This was a villa built in the French style. It was very modern and was decked with French decor.

"Calvin stormed from the bedroom to the living room, and then from the living room to the guest room.

He even went to check in the bathroom."

There really was not a single person present.

Both the front and back rooms were also raided. There was not a single person in sight.

"Belle, Belle. He ran into Belle's bedroom again. Not to mention seeing a person, even a single

everyday item belonging to Belle had yet to be found."

His mind rattled with thoughts.

Did Rhys whisk his Belle away? Have they travelled to his hometown together? Would she ever come

back?

"From then on, she would never belong to him anymore, including his child."

"At the thought of this, he felt as if his heart had been pierced by a sharp arrow. His whole body turned

cold."

"After a wild search, he confirmed that he really could not find them."

"His face was pale. His stride was dejected. Like a frosted eggplant, he was unable to raise his head."

"Belle, you are so cruel! he shrieked in his heart."

"You clearly know that I love you and that you are pregnant with my child, but you followed another

man and ran away."

"I'm telling you, I won't let you off just like that."

"You better not let me find you. If I find you, I won't let you go."

His mind went blank. His hands and feet grew cold.

He sat in the car.

"Even after smoking two cigarettes, he could not calm down. Feeling numb, he drove the car away."

"By the moat, the stream across the entire expanse of A City flowed as usual. He wound down the car

window. A gust of the cold northern wind brushed across his face, steadily tugging him back to his

senses."

"No, Belle. Now that the truth has been revealed, why did you leave me? He had a brief monologue in

his mind."

"In the past few days, the news media had been reporting on this matter. She should have known the

truth about her father's death."

She should also know that Tristan had been arrested and would no longer pose a threat.

"Then, why did she want to leave?"

"After all, he was the child's father. Even if she had not thought for him, she should think for the child."

Did she leave with Rhys because the child in her womb was truly not his?

That thought brought out the hopelessness in him.

"However, he was not willing to give up. He took his phone out."

He hastily ordered Aron and Luca to search for Belle and Rhys in the whole city with the members of

Xeqint.

24 hours had passed.

Luca and Aron's updates were that Rhys and Belle had yet to be found.

"Undoubtedly, they had really left A City!"

"With a sullen face, Calvin ordered Aron to dispatch Xeqint to Rhys's country. No matter where they

went, they had to find them. He wanted to know the outcome and to interrogate this cruel woman in

person."

"On the 8th, the newspapers were plastered with the scandal about Lexie framing Belle. The news

about their wedding being called off was also reported."

Calvin was sitting alone in the office at the Harvey Group building.

"He thought, if Belle was only worried that Tristan would harm him and that he would marry Lexie, then

she would definitely come back to look for him after she caught wind of the news."

"If the child in her womb was really his, it was impossible for her not to think for the child."

"Thus, he waited and waited."

"Half a month later, Aron and Luca had rushed back from abroad. They shook their heads and informed

him that their search had not yielded any result. They had even gone to Rhys's company,

searching with both overt and covert means, but no one was found. The company's employees had

also claimed that they had not seen Mr. Atkinson for over half a year."

Calvin's last hope had been being shattered to pieces. He no longer had the energy to lift his spirits up.

"Thinking of the memories between them, he felt like his heart had been slashed by a knife."

"He did not have the energy to manage the company anymore. Every single day, he drank himself into

oblivion, allowing the depression to take over his mind. "

"Gradually, rumors about him becoming dispirited started to fester. Even the media was shocked. There

were all kinds of assumptions."

In the Ink Garden.

"Sophia, as well as Hudson, were sitting together, engaged in a heart-to-heart discussion."

"Hudson, I'm relieved that you've recovered. Sophia sighed, but still couldn't shake off her worries.

""But now, I'm very worried about Calvin instead. This time, he might not be able to overcome this."""

"Sophia's worries were not unjustified. Even after so many days, her beloved grandson was still

missing. Nonetheless, her people had informed her that Calvin had spent all day in the restaurant,

drinking and wallowing in self-pity. Neglecting the company's affairs, he seemed to have completely

changed into a different person."

"This time, Belle had completely disappeared."

There was not a single trace left after she'd disappeared.

"The last time when she had gone abroad, Sophia was still able to keep track of her and her recent

activities. This time, however, she was totally out of reach."

"To Calvin, this was a fatal blow, especially when she was bearing his child in her womb."

"During this period of time, she had also witnessed his unmitigated love for Belle. It was just that he

was not good at dealing with matters of the heart and was not good at expressing himself. Therefore,

this led to unsolvable problems between them."

"Mom, what you're worried about is exactly my worries too. However, don't worry. Now that I'm

here, that kind of thing won't ever happen again. Hudson's face was full of seriousness as he consoled

his mother, who was already 90 years old."

"Recently, Sophia was especially sentimental and compassionate. Most likely, it was due to her age.

Thus, she was even more concerned about Calvin. The fact that Martin had been kicked out of the

family had caused agonizing pain to her and this had subjected her to immense suffering."

"Moreover, Belle was carrying the flesh and blood of Calvin in her womb. It was Sophia's great-

grandson."

"On that day, when she had learnt that Belle was pregnant, she was very excited and happy.

Nevertheless, before she had the time to respond, she had heard about the rumours that Calvin was

depressed, and that he had completely ignored the company's affairs. This only compounded her

worries. "

"Hudson, the seal of the family must be handed over to Calvin. You're old and your health's getting

worse, but you still have to remain in charge for the time being. I'm getting older and closer to the

afterlife every second that passes. There's one thing I have to tell you now. Once Martin changes for

the better, he must return to Harvey Manor. After all, he's still a part of the Harvey family. No matter

how wrong he was, nothing can change this fact."

"Sophia thought of Martin who was still languishing in the Public Security Department. Although she'd

ordered everyone to disown him from the family ever since, blood was still thicker than water. This was

the last resort. She could only hope that after having no source of income, he could understand the

meaning of life in the future and would get himself together."

"If there ever came such a day, she still hoped that he could come back. After all, he was her grandson,

her flesh and blood. She couldn't be that cruel to him."

"Upon hearing this, Hudson smiled and sighed. ""Mother, you can be rest assured. I know what to do

with Martin's affairs. He has made those mistakes. If we don't punish him, we can't pacify the crowd,

nor can we enable him to make amends. However, he is still part of the Harvey family. This is a fact

that no one could change. We're those who would have his back till the end of time."""

"Yes. Sophia nodded in agreement, but the melancholy on her face could not be cast aside. She said

thoughtfully, ""It's wise of you to deal with it this way, but there's still someone else who would make it

difficult for me to be at peace. The Harvey family owes her a favour."""

"The light in Hudson's eyes flickered, and his eyes narrowed. An overwhelming look of sadness and

solemness were etched on his face."

"Of course, he knew who this person was."

That would be Belle.

"Mother, I still regret having looked down on her back then. I regret that I didn't understand you. At that

time, I should have tried to persuade Calvin. Otherwise, things wouldn't have come to this. I think I

should be responsible as well. Hudson recalled the past and sighed with emotion. ""Speaking of which,

I'm really grateful to her for my illness. She even put aside the past issues and came to help with my

illness. Not only that, she also came to see me every day to make sure I was recovering properly and

treated my wounds. Her kindness has put me to shame."""

"Well, I have had a good impression on her for a long time now. She is kind and considerate. However,

it's a pity that Calvin did not cherish her. Up till this point, I think she is determined to leave our Harvey

family. Sophia stroked the leather case in her hand. Her face was lined with grief."

Hudson did not say anything and remained silent.

"Ruth walked in gently and said, ""Old Madam, Young Master is here."""

"Alright, let him in. Sophia nodded."

"After a while, Calvin walked in."

"Sophia looked at him and felt her heart hanging. Was this her high-spirited grandson? The man in

front of her was gaunt. His hair was messy, and his face was dark. His eyes were sunken. He looked

unkempt and was in a terrible state."

"Grandma. Calvin approached her and knelt down in front of her. He placed his head on her knees and

sobbed, ""Grandma, I lost my Belle. She left with my child forever. She will never come back. She

hates me."""

"All of a sudden, Sophia's eyes welled with tears. Her fingers, which were holding her leather bag, were

trembling. Her hand, which was full of wrinkles, gently caressed Calvin's thick black hair. Running her

fingers through his hair, she smoothed over them. With a sigh, she said with heartache, ""Calvin, do

you still remember what I once said? 'I'm afraid you would never understand her heart'. At that time, I

had already warned you, but you couldn't understand my words. You thought that I was trying to hurt

you. It's already too late for you to learn now."""

"Tears streamed down as she said, ""I don't have many hopes at all. I only hope that I can see my

great-grandson within my lifetime. However, I'm afraid that this wish is nothing more than wishful

thinking now."""

"No, Grandma. I'll definitely find her. I'll definitely bring my child back. Calvin gritted his teeth and

replied bitterly, ""She's really cruel. She knows that I love her and she is even pregnant with my child.

Yet, she lied that it wasn't my child and left. Now that the truth has been revealed, why did she run

away with Rhys? Isn't she just trying to humiliate me?"""

"Calvin was angry and resentful, the light burning deep in his eyes was both painful and unwilling."

"It was his child, yet she insisted it was Rhys's. He was also a man, didn't he know that this was the

biggest humiliation for a man?"

"When Hudson heard what he said, his heart skipped a beat. He immediately yelled, ""Shut up, you

brat. You're still blabbing nonsense. I finally understand why Belle wanted to leave. She wouldn't stay

even if she found out the truth. You're such a jerk. How dare you still talk about her like that? She has

no confidence in you anymore. She is sick of you!"""

"The anger in his heart rushed to the top of Hudson's head all of a sudden. This jerk of a son had

become so lost for the sake of love. The words tumbling from his lips however, no human should

deserve to be spoken about like that."

"If Belle heard his words, she would probably never come back. Not just her, but any woman would do

the same in her place."

"Calvin was at a loss after being scolded by Hudson. He raised his head in a panic. He had not slept

for a few days and nights. As soon as he closed his eyes, Belle's pale face would fill his mind, along

with the gentle, delicate, and mesmerizing sensation of caressing her belly with his palm."

"She left without saying goodbye, which made him hate her. Hated how she was so cruel, and how she

was that ruthless."

"She was clearly aware that he hated Rhys the most, yet she was still so intimate with him. He had

almost lost his mind, and she still ran away with him. How could she do this to him?"

"Calvin, are you really such a dumb*ss? Don't you know that the baby in her belly is yours? Don't you

know what kind of person she is? I didn't know that you were such a b*stard. You don't know right from

wrong, and you don't even know the people that were good to you. Don't you realize, if it weren't for her

cooperation in the process and the decisions she made, would you ever be able to handle Tristan and

Lexie? Would you be able to find out all the fraud Tristan committed so quickly? Would you be able to

take Tristan down so quickly? I am afraid that all the crimes are now pinned against Martin, and the

baby in Lexie's belly can only be blamed on you forever. Have you thought about the consequences?

The more Hudson spoke, the angrier he became. He was smoldering with rage. If it weren't for Sophia

here, he would have gone ahead and beaten him."

"His own son didn't even know who to thank and who to hate. There was no woman who would have

forgiven him unconditionally like that. If he could get to this point, it only went to show how much Belle

had tolerated him and forgiven him. It also indirectly showed that she really loved Calvin. Only in the

face of love could a woman be silly enough not to care about everything and forgive the man

unreservedly. "

"Take a look at this. This is the right of inheritance of Harvey Manor. There are also documents about

forgiving Martin that she sent on the 8th using express delivery. She has already given up her revenge

for her father's death, and all her wealth. What else do you want from her? What other reason do you

have to say such bullsh*t here? What other reason do you have to criticize her for being ungrateful and

heartless? Hudson took the leather pouch from Sophia's hand and waved it in front of Calvin, his face

livid."

"Calvin was stunned, but he was even more stunned by Hudson's scolding. However, it was as if he

received enlightenment from God himself and a bright light flashed before his eyes."

"He stood up and reached out for the bundle in Hudson's hand. There was only the address of the

Harvey Manor on it, blank space below it. In other words, he had no idea where it was from."

"He emptied the items inside and found the contract that Sophia had given her. There was also a letter

with two documents inside. One was a letter stating that she had voluntarily given up on the right to

inheritance of Harvey manor while the other was a formal document to forgive the Harvey family. Other

than that, there was nothing else."

"Calvin's hands began to tremble. His haggard face was riddled with bleakness and loneliness, his

eyes filled with pain."

She had made up her mind to leave him.

She wanted to walk away cleanly and completely.

This was fully in line with her character.

"His hand, which was clutching the leather bag, dropped down feebly."

Tears streamed down from the corner of her eyes.

"He understood that there was no need to look for her anymore. Even if he turned the whole world

upside down, she would never see him."
