Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 77

“Jerk,” Belle cursed him. He actually knew that her mother had a kidney disease. Of course he could know everything if wanted to. This hospital was under the Harvey Corp, even the director would be changed if he annoyed Calvin.

When Hudson was being treated in the hospital, it was rumored that Calvin was not satisfied with their treatment plan and immediately fired the Director of the hospital. Calvin hated her to the core. She really could not afford to offend him for the sake of her mother.

Belle could no anything about it.

As soon as Calvin drove into the Harvey Manor, he saw the butler standing at the pathway entrance to Fragrance Garden, anxiously looking around. When he saw his car, his eyes lit up and he greeted him with a smile.

"Young Master, you're finally back!" The butler was beaming with joy.

Calvin's eyes darkened and he walked straight past him towards the Fragrance Garden.

The large ornate living room had obviously been deliberately decorated for Mayor Johnson's arrival. The entire house, including the living room, it had been cleaned and the house was immaculate.

Several servants stood aside quietly, waiting for orders.

From time to time there was laughter could be heard.

Tristan, dressed in an expensive suit and gold-rimmed glasses, was sitting in the main seat. He was about 50 years old and was a smart and capable man with a rosy complexion and a beer belly. He was talking and laughing with Paige from time to time.

Jennifer Baxter, Tristan's wife, dressed in a fashionable and elegant outfit. Her facial features were very similar to Lexie's. From time to time, she would laugh along with them. Lexie was sitting next to Paige, occasionally flattering and pleasing Paige, who was all smiling.

They were chatting and laughing in the living room. It was a joyful atmosphere.

As Calvin walked in, Lexie stood up and came over him with a bright smile, “Calvin, we are here waiting for you.”

At this, Paige stood up with a smile.

Calvin shook off Lexie’s hands and said in a soft voice, “Lexie, everyone is here watching, go back and have a seat.”

“It is okay, they are my parents,” Lexie looked at Calvin with a sweet smile.

Seeing her bright smile, Calvin thought of Belle’s pale face and scarlet eyes, sad face, for no reason, he got annoyed.

“Lexie, Calvin has been back from work, he must be tires, so leave him alone, you should be considerate.” Jennifer said to Lexie with a doting voice.

“It is okay, Mom.” Lexie said to her mother and pouted at Calvin.

“Calvin, greet Mayor Johnson.” Paige reminded Calvin.

At this point, Calvin came back to his sense, put on a polite smile, and sat down on the sofa, with Lexie next to him.

"Uncle, Auntie, nice to meet you!" He spoke softly, very polite but at the same time, he kept a certain distance.

Tristan was slightly surprised as he sat upright with a magisterial presence, but the young man in front of him was no less imposing!

He sat calmly and was composed, with his head slightly raised. He picked up his cup of tea from the table and took a sip. When Tristan asked him questions, he looked up at him politely and answered him calmly. Even though he had experienced many weird things in officialdom, he still could not read him. His eyes were calm, deep, but not completely clear, and even mixed with a hint of unpredictability in them.

He was very courteous to the elders, but he didn't flatter them too much. He was neither humble nor arrogant. He spoke with respect, just like how someone from the younger generation should, not overly coquettish but also not to be underestimated either.

On the other hand, his daughter, Lexie, was completely intoxicated. Her eyes were full of infatuation and love for him. She looked like she was drunk in love. However, seeing that Calvin was not interested in her, his heart sank.

"Calvin, you are the young talent and pride of our A City. We, as government servants, are proud of you!" Tristan cleared his voice and complimented Calvin. He was obviously praising Calvin, but also implicitly highlighting his role as the Mayor to remind Calvin not to let his daughter down. He was a man of honor, and his daughter was not easy to be bullied.
