Chapter 218 Excuse
Chapter 218 Excuse
"Come and sit down." Paige pulled Rosa to sit down on the sofa with a smile on her face, "Rosa, how is
General Oakley Perry's health now?"
Paige's fondness for Rosa is undisguised, and Belle knows that her fondness for Rosa is simply
because of the power in her father's hands, and her heart is sour when she thinks of her own father.
"He is okay, thank you for your concern, Auntie." Rosa replied with a smile. A maid brought tea, Rosa
took it with both hands and then saw that Belle was still standing, so she smiled at her and said, "Belle,
sit down."
Belle wanted to go to the second floor, reluctant to see their intimacy, always feel like an outsider, but
worried about leaving Rosa alone here, she still sat down after a moment of hesitation.
Calvin put down his briefcase and came over, when he saw Belle sitting down, he sat down so close to
her.
She was so uncomfortable with Calvin being so close to her that she moved her body to the side, but
he moved with her, not caring that it was in the hall, and when she moved more, Calvin suddenly put
one hand on her waist from, and with force, Belle could not move at all.
Belle was furious, her teeth clenched, her eyes flashing with uncontrollable anger, as if a poisonous
snake was sitting beside her, seemingly ready to burrow into her blood at any moment.
She was on pins and needles and could not wait to slip upstairs.
Calvin carried a smile, but his heart burst with joy as he sat closer, his entire body attached to hers.
'Want to hide from me, let's see how you can still escape?’
Belle rolled her eyes at him, wanting to beat him up.
Paige and Rosa were talking, but had seen what happened to Calvin and Belle. It was obvious that
Belle had a problem with Calvin, while Calvin pestered her. Paige took a sign.
Not long after, a strong smell of imported perfume wafted straight towards the living room, and soon,
the figures of Lexie and Hanna appeared in front of the crowd.
"Mom." Lexie came in and shouted sweetly towards Paige, but her eyes looked towards Calvin, seeing
him and Belle sitting together in a tight embrace, her face darkened before a smile spread across her
face. She did not come up and pester Calvin, nor did she sit down beside him, but sat down against
Paige.
When Rosa heard Lexie calling Paige 'Mom', she was secretly surprised, did Paige have a daughter?
She hadn't heard of it.
"Rosa, Lexie, let me introduce." Paige said, as she saw that Rosa kept gawking at Lexie.
"This is Rosa, the daughter of General Oakley Perry of the capital, Martin's fiancee." Paige took Rosa's
hand and introduced her to Lexie with a smile.
Lexie had long since noticed that there was another girl sitting in the living room and was secretly
wondering who it was, when she heard Paige introduce, it dawned on her.
This is Martin's fiancée, the one appointed by Martin’s grandfather?
Rosa looked pretty and had a good family background. She was a good match for Martin, but the girl
was obviously innocent and lovely, while Martin had a dark mind, and apart from his appearance, it
seemed difficult to connect the two of them.
With this thought, there was contempt in her eyes, and she simply said 'hello' indifferently towards
Rosa.
"Rosa, this is Lexie, the daughter of Mayor Johnson." Paige pointed at Lexie and introduced her to
Rosa, glancing at Belle who was fidgeting, and did not introduce too much later in order to take care of
her emotions. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
So she's Lexie, the movie star?
Rosa sized up Lexie, seeing that she was heavily made up, and her face revealed an arrogant aura,
she didn't like her much in her heart, plus when Lexie greeted her, Lexie had that faint expression, and
seemed to look down on her, so she was even more unhappy in her heart, and at that moment she only
greeted her indifferently.
The two are considered to have met.
"Belle, can I go see my sleeping room?" Rosa seemed to sense Belle's difficulty and immediately
thoughtfully mentioned it. Belle immediately nodded in agreement upon hearing it, and as she was
about to stand up, she suddenly heard Lexie's pretentious cry, "Calvin, what's wrong with your face?"
When she called out like that, Paige was shocked to hear it, and she looked towards Calvin's face.
If Paige saw his face, Paige would ask the reason. If she knew that Belle had done it, she would
definitely deepen her prejudice against her. He stood up, looked away, saying faintly, “Mom, It's
nothing, I just got scratched by tree branch."
"Calvin, you are badly hurt, you should go to the dermatologist, or it will leave a scar." Lexie said loudly
with concern on her face, lest no one would neglect it.
When Paige heard that, she was so nervous that she rushed over and took a closer look at Calvin's
face.
"Mom, I am fine, I just got scratched, not a big deal." Calvin was already very impatient and felt
redundant with Paige's fussiness.
But Paige was unrelenting, looking around and shaking her head, "No, it's obviously a scratch by a
person. Who did you fight with?”
"Mom, there's no such thing." Calvin shook his head in denial and reached out to pull Belle, who was
about to take Rosa upstairs, and said, "Belle, wait for me."
Belle did not want to stay there for Paige’s suspicion, and did not want to explain anything, she she
went upstairs with Rosa.
"Belle, your house is on the second floor, so why are there two other people standing guard here?"
Rosa asked with great curiosity.
Belle's face flushed slightly, but she kept quiet and tried to shake off Calvin, but heard him say, "I'll go
upstairs with you guys, lest my mother keep asking me about my face, I am annoyed."
As soon as he said this, Belle understood the meaning of it, that is, in order to keep Paige from
knowing that she had done that, he had to follow them to the second floor.
It was an excuse.
Belle surprisingly could do nothing about it!
Biting her lip, she walked with her head down.
As she walked in such silence, Calvin naturally followed her.
Rosa looked around, excited.
"Mom, what should I do? Today, grandma even gave the Harvey family to Belle, if this continues, what
should we do? You are supposed to be in charge of the family, but now a woman with a foreign
surname has been given the Harvey family.” As soon as they left, Lexie's eyes turned red and she cried
out towards Paige.
"What did you say? She'll be in charge? Who did you hear that from?" Paige was surprised and asked
offhandedly.
She did not know about such a big event, what was she, Belle, worthy of being charge of the family? It
was a disgrace, and the anger in Paige's heart was ignited.
"Mom, it's true, this is what Demi in Grandma's house said. Mom, you just saw the red box that woman
was holding in her hand, that's exactly what Grandma gave her for her stewardship." Lexie said,
sobbing..
Paige's face instantly darkened, and a stern light flashed in his eyes.
"Lexie, there is no rush on this matter, let's wait until I've inquired about it." Paige's face turned white,
her voice was pale and weak. It seemed that this was true, Sophia was too old to keep holding the
power of the family. Although each house had its own head of house, but after all, Harvey Mansion
needed someone to take up the heavy responsibility. Originally, this power of the family should have
been given to her long ago, but her mother-in-law always looked at her in a bad way and picked on her
at every turn.
For many years, the thorn buried in Paige's heart was the uneasy relationship with her mother-in-law,
which made her live a very harsh life, and she was very dissatisfied with her mother-in-law's behavior.
However, her mother-in-law is very tough and interferes with everything, even her son's marriage, so
she has a long-standing anger in her heart.
She thought, she disliked Belle to a large extent because of her mother-in-law.
Just because her mother-in-law liked Belle, then she, who had preconceptions about her mother-in-law,
naturally disliked Belle and took all the anger she brought from her mother-in-law on Belle, a process
that even she didn't notice.
Lexie's heart was completely cold. Sophia had already handed over the family to Belle, and it was still
such a fact to inquire further.
In the future, what will she get when she married into the family?
The house was given to Belle, and the family had been given to her to take care of, so what was she!
The mother of a child, that's all.
And the most crucial thing was that Calvin still didn't love her.
There was no point to marry in such a family.
She was disheartening, with hatred in her heart.
‘If you don't make it easy for me, I won't let you off the hook.’
The anger at the bottom of her heart suddenly surged up.
