Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 69 Secret in the Study

In a place like A City, especially the gentry, if a woman married to a man cannot be on the ancestral

tablet, cannot enter the family tree, even if they are legal married, she a concubine in the eyes of the

gentry, the discerning people have long become a consensus.

On the ancestral tablet, a man must have his name on it. Unless a man is determined to love only one

woman in his life, he still has to marry a woman who can be on the family tree in terms of reputation.

If the relationship between a man and a woman is ever weakened, or if the woman cannot produce a

son in the future, the man will marry another woman for the sake of his family's interests or future

generations, married her in any country and bring her back to the gentry. As long as his family

recognized her, she was his wife, while the original wife would be a concubine.

This risk was known to everyone, and Lexie knew it well.

Although the gentry are very generous and open, a concubine cannot compromise the interests of the

original wife, so she is not allowed to live in the house.

Although the state advocates monogamy, this rule has long since failed to meet the needs of the men

of the gentry who want their heirs to grow, so they will either explicitly or implicitly make a home outside NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

and start a family, and as for the social troubles these issues bring, that is nothing to them! Money is

the answer to everything.

Calvin had no interest to marry a second wife. He thought that if he could marry a wife, like his father

did, he would be better off than anything else. Since he loved a woman, he had to give her the best,

and it would be irresponsible to hide a woman outside. He had seen many women fought over their

status in the gentry. He disliked this kind of life and thought it would affect his quality of life.

It was for this reason that Calvin hated Belle at the time, hating her for depriving him of his wife's name

and overshadowing his future love.

Even if the man had married only her, it would be disgraceful and an insult to the woman's family, not to

mention the Harvey family. The rules for concubines in this area were so rigid that everyone knew

about them, so no one with status would want to marry their daughter into a powerful family as a

concubine.

"No, Grandma said you can marry me as your proper wife, Calvin, you're already divorced, we can be a

proper couple, and mum has promised me that she will let me live in Harvey Mansion." Lexie's face

began to turn white and her eyes were tearful.

"Lexie, as I said, I can't make decision, and please talk to your mum and dad about it." Calvin was quite

helpless and shook his head.

Lexie's heart was sour. She knew that if Calvin only married her in this life, they would not be bound by

those worldly things, but if Calvin once married another woman, as long as the ancestral tablets were

on, then her uncertainty would be too great.

But she has Paige's support, and as long as she waits until Sophia passes away, she will have the

opportunity and it is entirely possible that she will be able to live in Harvey Mansion, but of course, all

this presupposes that Calvin must love her and must support her fully behind her back.

But does Calvin love her now? She doesn't have a clue, especially when Belle appears!

Belle did not find Calvin on the second day in Grand Hyatt Apartments, and he did not answer her

phone. She wanted to go out, but Yanis said that Calvin did not allow her to go out for fearing that she

would have another accident.

Yanis guarded her, so Belle had not chance to leave.

Even if Belle was a good person, she was filled with resentment. Was she going to be put under house

arrest here?

The longer she stayed, the more annoyed she became. Could he really have something to do with her

father’s death?

Since he had lived in this flat for so many years, if he had something to do with it, there must be some

traces left behind. After thinking for a while, Belle decided to check it out first and walked towards

Calvin’s study.

There are six rooms in this flat. She had never been his study, which was locked, but she knew where

the key was.

There was a spare set of keys in one of the utility rooms, so Belle walked over, found the key and

opened the door to the study.

The study shouldn't have had anyone in for a long time, and it reeked of a musty smell, with thick

curtains hanging and very low light.

"Isn't it just a study? It's so dark." Belle felt more and more odd about this place, chanting, curiosity

aroused.

He pulled open the thick curtains and the bright light shone in, so Belle opened the window and the

fresh air flowed in.

The black wooden cabinet of shelves bookcases placed in several rows, indeed collected a lot of good

books. Some books are actually Belle has been longing to read, even some books that have been lost

in the market can be found here, and some books are unique in the world.

The study was nothing but books, and it seemed impossible to find anything suspicious, so she could

not help but be disappointed, but was overjoyed to see so many good books.

Belle browsed on top of these bookshelves and before she knew it a morning had passed.

She did not find anything suspicious, and as she was about to walk out, she found that in an

inconspicuous corner of the bookshelf.

For some reason, her heart was pounding, as if she was about to spy on some hidden secret.

When she slowly removed the red cloth, she drew in a breath of cold air, it turned out that the pile was

not a book, but a hard box notebook, which looked more like a diary, some of which were already old.

Was this all his diary?

If her father’s death was really related to him, these diaries would be the best testimony to his

innermost thoughts.

Her hands were shaking.

It's unethical to go through someone's diary, but she had to for the reason of her father’s death!

She picked up a plastic hard cover diary, flipped it over, and a photo fell out of it!

In the photo it was her in college, dressed in a white skirt, smiling, which looked lovely.

Why had her picture appeared in his study diary?

Belle found it unbelievable, to be exact, she had hardly had any interaction with Calvin at university, the

only time she had, was when she met him in the library, only that time, the smile on his face was bright

and gentle, slightly shy, and it stuck in her mind!

When she was still very young, she had seen him a few times when she accompanied her father to visit

Sophia at Harvey Mansion, but each time, his gaze was always directed towards someone else,

without even giving her a proper glance.

Even when Sophia called him over to introduce him to them, his eyes were indifferent.

Then how did her photo from college get into his hands?

There was a photo album, and when she opened it, a handsome young man was seen the picture,

almost like the one she had seen when she was a child.

A touching smile spread across her face.

The album is full of photos of Calvin's youth from primary school to his graduation from university.

Touching these photos, it seemed that Belle had also gone back to her university days, when she was

so happy to have her father's shelter!

Thinking of her father, pain began to spread from the bottom of her heart again. She closed the photos

and opened the diary. The diary was very thick, and it was almost the entire journey of Calvin's heart

from junior high school to university.

It was always wrong to peek into someone's privacy, Belle had a criminal feeling, his face burning, but

she wanted to find what she needed.

‘The night is dark, but it didn't stop me from seeing the truth.

I stood there in the darkness looking at her making out with Martin. In campus, they were so blatant

and carefree. Why would a woman who looked so innocent be so slutty? Yesterday she was cuddling

with another male classmate, and tonight she can't stand the idea of having sex with Martin?

Afterwards I heard that Martin will give her money after sex, what a slut.I will never trust that woman

again, the one who is innocent on the outside, but has a deep heart and is good at disguising herself.’
