Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 78

"Jennifer, this is not what Calvin or I want. Calvin’s grandma is still alive, and our family affair is up to her. Harvey Mansion is the legacy left by Calvin’s grandfather, so we have nothing to do with it.” Paige said with embarrassment.

Jennifer was displeased, and Tristan was sullen, but he kept unmoved, like he was calm to the situation.

“Calvin, what do you think?” He asked Calvin, looking straight into his eyes. If Calvin is not bold enough, he dare not say a word.

But he uttered, “I had once divorced, and I am a decendant of the Harvey family, so I can only obey my elders. I have told Lexie that you should think it through. Since it was mentioned, I will be frank to you, “I can’t go against my Grandma’s will, and my Grandma has the say over the Harvey Mansion, so there is nothing I can do, for I have to respect her.”

He spoke politely. His Grandma’s birthday is the day after tomorrow and he did not want to bring up the so-called marriage at this moment, for he did not want to upset his Grandma.

Tristan narrowed his eyes and nodded in agreement. He solemnly said, "I never thought Calvin would be so filial to his elders. I'm impressed. However, Last time, you also married Minister Morris' daughter on your grandmother's order but your married life had been unhappy and that's what led to the current ending. Are you sure you want to go down that road again?"

At this, Paige was unhappy to hear that and she spoke up, “Mayor, Calvin’s grandma is old now, and Calvin respects his Grandma, and doesn’t want to go against her will. But Calvin will only marry Lexie and will treat her well. And I can guarantee about that.

She means that as long as Calvin’s grandma dies, she would get the title to Lexie.

“No, Mom, it is not as simple as you think it is, we have to be serious about it, or it will be unfair for Lexie.” Calvin sat straight and was displeased about Paige’s statement, so he corrected her.

Tristan was not stupid. Paige's statement was just an empty promise. There were too many variables in this matter. Calvin's cautious attitude spoke for itself. He had been in politics for many years, he knew too well that many things change in an instant. How could he do such an impossible illusory thing with no guarantee? After all, it was his only daughter's marriage. Therefore, he could not afford to be sloppy.

He adjusted his glasses and his pupils constricted. He said calmly, "Since Grandma Harvey' 90th birthday will celebrate her ninetieth birthday the day after tomorrow, we should come over to celebrate it. It's not easy to live until this age. Our family should come over and help celebrate Grandma Harvey' birthday. Since Calvin is having a hard time, we can't force him. Let's talk about it later.

"But......" Jennifer was about to speak when she saw Tristan standing up and saying, "Jennifer, it's getting late. Let's not disturb them any longer. We'll head home first.

Lexie was very unhappy. She did not expect that they could not come to a conclusion. She thought that with her father's help, they would be able to come up with something. She didn't expect that they would come up with nothing. She was disappointed and disheartened.

She didn't want to leave and wanted to stay with Calvin in the Harvey Manor. However, Tristan looked at her sternly, so she couldn't resist.

"Let's go," Tristan's said seriously. There was a hint of unhappiness in his words. She couldn't go against his orders. He thought that if his daughter kept pestering a man, she would demean herself.

When Jennifer saw Tristan's attitude, she had to go forward and take Lexie by the hand, pulling her away from Calvin.

"Calvin, do you think we were disrespectful to Mayor Johnson?" Paige complained to Calvin with anxiety and worry after the Johnson family left.

The corners of Calvin's mouth twitched. He was in a state of indifference and did not take it seriously. Marriage was not child's play. He had learned that from his previous marriage. This time, he must point out the important matters and make a thorough understanding of the things that should be clarified, lest they all regret things later.

"Mom, marriage is a huge deal and no one can change what Grandma has decided. We have to make it clear first. It is not good for us to hide it, Calvin was very dissatisfied with Paige, "Mom, I think I did the right thing and I think Mayor Johnson understands. Besides, these are my private affairs, so please don't get involved in the future."

After saying that, Calvin ignored Paige and walked outside.

"Stop, stay right there! What are you talking about?" Paige was embarrassed by Calvin's words. She shouted at Calvin, who was about to go out, "I'm doing this for your own good. The last time I listened to your grandmother, I allowed that b*tch to marry into our family and make a mess of our house. Why should we listen to her now? What era are we in now? She still has that old school mentality and wants to control your marriage, with no regard for your feelings. There is no such thing in the world. Do you think this is a feudal society? Let me tell you this, you are my son and I will not let history repeat itself again.

Calvin stood still. His eyes turned cold as he turned around and said to Paige, "Mom, Grandma doesn't care about me. She allows me to make my own life choices, but Harvey Manor belongs to Grandma. Grandpa left everything to Grandma and she has the right to decide, that's a fact that no one can change. She is the only elder in the Harvey family. We can choose to leave, choose to live our own lives, and choose not to inherit the Harvey Manor, but are you willing to forgo everything? Would Lexie be willing to let go? Even if I never marry again in my life except for Lexie, without Richard Manor, she would not be able to be recorded in the family tree; she will always be a concubine. Do you think she would be willing to marry me?" "

The strange light in his eyes shone, and he said solemnly, "Mom, please stay out of my affairs from now on. You should just live your own life and take good care of Dad. Also, when Belle lived in Harvey Manor, ask yourself, we didn't treat her fairly either. We cannot blame her entirely, don't you think?"

After saying that, Calvin stepped out of the house and soon disappeared into the night.

Paige's face suddenly turned pale. She stood rooted to the spot and couldn't speak. She watched as Calvin walked away and took a step back in shock.
