Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 172 Anything Else to Say?

Calvin was pacing in the garden downstairs in Ink Garden, feeling restless. He wanted to go in but he

was afraid.

In the current situation, no matter what, he had to get his grandma's support. Thinking about that his

grandma had always liked Belle so much, Calvin thought that she would definitely support him.

As long as Grandma insisted on liking Belle and insisted on her opinion, he would have the courage

and excuse to reject Lexie.

It depended on himself!

In the past, in front of Grandma, he repeatedly emphasized that he hated Belle. He even forced Belle to

divorce him. But now he came to Grandma, saying that he liked Belle, and that he would not marry

anyone except her. For him, wasn’t it a slap in the face?

Calvin was pacing. Yes, even Albie told him that he could ask Grandma if he encountered something

important. Now, he was really in trouble. But just because Grandma forced him to marry Belle at that

time, he was actually estranged from Grandma. Now he felt guilty and uneasy.

Constantly pacing in the garden, he was embarrassed to go in, but he didn’t want to go back without

getting anything.

"Ma’am, Mr. Calvin has been pacing downstairs for a long time. Shall I invite him in?" Ruth saw Calvin

coming. Seeing that he was just pacing downstairs and didn’t come up, Ruth knew Calvin was

embarrassed to come in. She worried that the old lady's beloved grandson, so she immediately told

Sophia.

Unexpectedly, Sophia didn’t feel distressed after hearing this, but just said lightly.

"Don't worry about him. Since he made a mistake, he has to bear it himself. Our family won't do such a

shameful thing."

Then Ruth didn’t say anything.

Calvin took out a cigarette and took a few drags. Finally, he made up his mind and walked upstairs.

"Ruth, is Grandma asleep?" As soon as Calvin walked into the door of Sophia's bedroom and stood on

the steps, he saw Ruth watering the flowers. He remembered that when Grandma fell asleep, Ruth

would water grandma's favorite flowers. So he asked softly.

"Mr. Calvin is here." Ruth looked up at Calvin and smiled kindly, "Come in and have a seat. It's cold

outside."

Calvin smiled and followed Ruth to the reception room inside. Ruth made him some good tea, served

him with delicious food, and talked to him with a smile, but she never mentioned Sophia, which made

Calvin not know what to do.

"Mr. Calvin, try this fruit. I pickled them by myself. It's from a century-old tree in Ink Garden. It can

moisten your lungs. It's very good." Ruth picked one with a toothpick and sent it to Calvin, saying.

Calvin didn't have the mood to eat. But Ruth had already put it to his mouth, so he could only thank her.

Then he took it and put it into his mouth, taking a bite. The expression on his face changed.

What kind of fruit was this? It was astringent and bitter. It was tough to choke down!

But Calvin was too embarrassed to spit it out, so he had to swallow it forcefully.

"Mr. Calvin, it tastes bad at first. But after a while, you won't think so." Seeing his face, Ruth smiled,

and explained, "This stuff is generally not available in the market. This tree was specially transplanted

from India by your grandma, and it is very precious. Most people don’t like this kind of fruit at first, but

gradually, they will like it.”

Sure enough, after a while, Calvin only felt sweet. The sweetness came from the throat all the way to

the stomach. Only then did Calvin realize this fruit was yummy. He couldn't help but smiled and praised

it.

"Ruth, Grandma..." After a while, Calvin couldn't help but asked.

"Wait." As if Ruth just remembered it, she walked to the bedroom inside. After a while, she came out

and said in a low voice, "Ma’am just woke up. It's time to read the newspaper. I have already told her

that you’re here. She just told you to wait first. You know your grandma will read the newspaper every

day at this time. If you have nothing to do, just wait first. If there is an urgent matter, you might as well

go to deal with it first, and then come back when you are done."

Hearing this, Calvin could only smile and say, "Ruth, read the newspaper to Grandma first. I have

nothing to do. I can wait."

"Okay, you stay here and have some tea and some pastries. I'll tell you after I finish reading it as soon

as possible." Ruth comforted Calvin after hearing it. Then she picked up the newspaper and quietly

went in.

Calvin was bored. He had to sit on the couch and eat that kind of fruit. After a while, he didn't even feel

the slightest bit of astringency in his mouth. It was just sweet. Calvin found that he fell in love with

eating this stuff.

Then he actually waited for two hours.

Just when he was impatient, he saw Ruth walking out with a smile. She said to him, "I'm sorry to make

you wait for long. Your grandma was in high spirits today and asked me to read one more page. Now

she invites you in."

"Well, well." Although Calvin felt anxious, he had no choice but to say that it was okay. Then he walked

in. Calvin had never waited for a person so patiently. But this person was his grandma. He had to

respect her.

It was winter now. Sophia was always cold. So the floor was covered with woolen carpets. Calvin took

off his shoes and walked in lightly.

"Grandma." Sophia was half lying on the deck chair, covered with a warm cashmere blanket. Her face

was ruddy. She was in good spirits. Hearing Calvin, she had a loving smile on her face.

"Calvin, you came to see me." She smiled kindly.

"Grandma, I've been a little busy lately, so I haven't been able to see you often. Please forgive me."

Calvin stooped down and squatted in front of Sophia, showing a smile to cover up the embarrassment.

In recent years, his relationship with his grandma had not been as close as in previous years. Now,

when he thought of the reason, he felt ashamed.

"My grandson is so outstanding. Naturally, you have to be busy, as long as you miss me often." Sophia

said lovingly with a smile on her face.

Calvin felt even more ashamed. He smiled awkwardly.

"Calvin, is there anything that you come to me?" Sophia asked with concern.

Calvin looked up at his grandma's concerned eyes, feeling touching. It seemed that he was back when

he was a child. No matter what he did wrong, his grandma would smile and say, "It's alright, as long as

Calvin can correct it. I'll always trust my grandson."

At that time, Calvin would be full of self-confidence and full of gratitude to his grandma.

But did he do something wrong?

Why did he feel the same way he did when he was a kid?

"Grandma, I just wanted to see you." Calvin didn't know where to start, so he hesitated. Then he

added, "Grandma, Dad may be getting better. He had the surgery in M Country. It’s Belle who is

responsible for these things."

Speaking of Belle, Calvin finally had a smile on his face.

Sophia also nodded happily, but stared at him and asked, "Calvin, is it you who asked Belle to be

responsible for your father's surgery?"

"Yes." Calvin smiled softly.

"Do you believe in her now? I remembered that you hated her very much, and you hated me because

of this." Sophia pointed out bluntly, without worrying about whether he would be embarrassed.

This question made Calvin feel ashamed. He was blushed, and didn’t dare to face his grandma's loving

and sharp eyes.

"Grandma, I was really stupid at that time. I didn't know my feelings clearly. Please forgive me." Calvin

lowered his head and said embarrassedly.

The look in Sophia's eyes was so calm that no emotions could be seen. The kind smile on her face was

gone. Calvin had never seen this look before, which was calm but too sad.

Sophia didn't speak for a long time.

Calvin also felt a little uneasy. He raised his head and saw the pain in Grandma's eyes. He was

shocked and felt an unprecedented chill.

"Calvin, do you have anything else to say to me?" Sophia's voice seemed to float out of the hell, which

was desolate and helpless, even with a trace of the emptiness, hitting Calvin's heart. He looked at her

uneasily. Seeing her gnarled face, Calvin said seriously, "Yes, Grandma, I figured it out clearly. The Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

person I love is Belle. In fact, from the beginning, I love her. I didn't see my heart clearly before, but

now I see it clearly. I want to remarry her. It was all my fault before. I was sorry for her and you. Now

I've made up my mind that I won't marry anyone except her in this life."

Calvin solemnly declared. He thought Grandma would be happy. Wasn't this what she always wanted

to see?

But he was wrong.

After listening to his words, Sophia did not show any joy. Her face was even darker than at the

beginning. Her eyes dimmed. The expression on her face became heavier and heavier.

There was unprecedented depression in the air. Calvin could hardly breathe.

He didn't hear Grandma say with a smile, "Calvin, just correct it if you’re wrong. I believe in you."

Instead, he heard Sophia's stern words.

"Calvin, do you have nothing to tell me other than this?"

Calvin felt confused again. Looking at his grandma, he shook his head blankly.

"Calvin, what should you do to Lexie?" Sophia's voice was so loud that Calvin quickly came to his

sense.

"No, Grandma, Lexie is none of my business. I have already compensated her. It’s her who didn't know

to cherish it. Besides, it’s you who agreed to let her live in Harvey Mansion. It’s already three months.

Grandma, you can let her move out here." Calvin was flustered and even incoherent.
