Chapter 86 Birthday Celebration
"Madam, it''s time to take your medicine." Ruth walked over with a small cap of medicine and a ss of
warm water, gently reminding Sophia. She knew Sophia wasn''t asleep!
Sophia opened her cloudy eyes and sighed, "It''s fine if I don''t take this medicine, I will die one day, but
I''m so worried in my heart."
She spoke with tears.
Ruth has been with the Madam for a long time, so she was aware of her concerns. She said softly and
Sophia’s hair blown by the breeze, scattered in front of the forehead, today, she had no mood to dress
neatly, and a hint of sadness could be seen on her face.
"It seems that it is time for me to step in, otherwise Calvin will not be able to pass this threshold. After
all these years, Calvin still has not been able to understand.” Sophia said bitterly, "If I don''t get to see
the Harvey family prosper in my lifetime, if I don''t get to see them happy, I''ll be ashamed of myself and
my ancestors. But I am worried that I can live to that day.”
Sophia looked sad in tears.
"Madam, son''t say that, it''s your birthday today. You''re healthy and you''ll live to be a hundred years old,
don''t worry, the young masters are smart. They''ll find a way to get by, so you only have to be happy
and enjoy life. Your grandchildren wille to see you in a little while." Ruth saw that the Madam was
sad and in tears early in the morning, so she panicked, and quickly spoke up tofort her.
Sophia sighed bitterly, "To outsiders, I am having a good life, but in fact, no one can know my sadness.
After all the ups and downs, the Harvey Mansion had been kept and it thanks to my husband’s hard
work. Now, my grandchildren may have it fall."
Ruth was confused. Although the Harvey family does not have many children and grandchildren, there
are at least two young masters who are talents. They had made great achievement, but Sophia was
pessimistic. So Ruth exined, “Madam, Calvin has lead the Harvey Corp into a leading role globally,
and Martin is the head of the Finance Department. Many people envy them.”
Hearing that, Sophia was in tears again, "Ruth, you don''t see it clearly, but there are some things I

understand in my heart."
After saying this, she fell silent and closed her eyes.
Seeing that Sophia was not in a good mood, Ruth was worried and read newspaper for her after
feeding her the medicine. When she read the news of Calvin and Belle''s intimacy, her face was happy
and even her tone was raised.
But Sophia just closed her eyes and didn''t say anything, as if she was asleep.
Ruth thought she was asleep, but she felt strange and did not dare to ask more questions.
As Calvin''s Hummer drove back into Harvey Mansion with Belle, Belle was in a daze, as if she was still
in a dream, she looked around in disbelief. Was she back in Harvey Mansion?
When she returned to her former home after an absence of three years, everything seemed to have
changed and she is no longer a part of it. But she felt everything here familiar.
She smiled bitterly, her mood bored and empty.
"You go down first and wait for me, don’t wander off. " Calvin stopped the car on the wide clean tarmac
road in the middle of the house and instructed towards Belle, who nodded, opened the car door and
slowly walked down, what leapt into her eyes was the beautiful retro type modern garden, surrounded
by a block of European style vis with beautiful green trees.
Belle stood indifferently, her bright eyes clear as water.
Lennox hurriedly greeted her.
"Hello, Mrs. Harvey." When he saw Belle get out of Calvin''s car and was standing on the side waiting,
Lennox was first stunned, then he walked over to greet her with a smile on his face. Although he had
already heard many rumours about the young master and his ex-wife, he dared not be negligent when
she could get out of Calvin''s car today, and as a butler, he had always been shrewd, so he knew what
to do.
"Hellow, Lennox." Belle nodded graciously back at him, maintaining the courtesy she deserved despite
the fact that not many underlings respected her back then when she stayed in Harvey Mansion.
Shortly afterwards, Calvin came out of the car park.
"Lennox, where is my mother?" He asked faintly.
"They gone to the Ink Garden and instructed me to wait here for you and tell you to hurry over, so as
not to upset your Grandma." Lennox replied cautiously.
"Who are they?" Calvin froze and voiced his suspicion.
"Young master ......" Lennox looked at Belle, his face had a hesitant look.
"Say it, don''t stammer." Calvin was very impatient.
"Young master, you mother came to your grandma with the Johnson family." Lennox knew that there
was no way to hide this matter, so he had to speak up and answer.
Calvin''s eyes darkened, they had actuallye here? He thought they would back off that night, after
all, his attitude was already very clear, and he had also told the truth, therefore, they should note
to visit again, but unexpectedly they really came to attend grandma''s birthday party.
He didn''t want to upset his grandmother by inviting them to her birthday party.
Thinking of this, he could not help but take Belle''s hand and quickly walk towards the electric car
parked at the roadside.
The deep coldness rose from the bottom of her feet and then from the top of her head, just after this
process, Belle felt like her whole body had been hollowed out, her heart was full of bitterness. This time
she returned to Harvey Mansion just to visit Sophia, the one who had sheltered her, but she never
wanted to see Lexie, how embarrassing that would be.
But now she had to face the embarrassing situation in front of her. She was an ex-wife facing Calvin''s
new lover, the daughter of the prestigious deputy mayor of A City, and she was nothing but a dowdy girl
from a famous family, and now she was even reduced to Calvin''s ything, his underground lover.
Once Calvin heard that Lexie had arrived, he headed impatiently towards the Ink Garden. If he hadn''t
been ordered by his grandmother, there was no way he would have apanied her back to Harvey
Mansion.
The electric car was heading for the Ink Garden, and Belle sat in the car with her beautiful eyes
surveying the grass and trees in Harvey Mansion, her mood gradually cooling down and calming down,
perhaps after today, she would never need toe back here again. Though so many people were
present, embarrassment was just a matter of a moment.
Harvey Mansion is really big, the outside circle is all vis with green belts, the middle surrounds the
ancient vi in the Ink Garden, each vi is equipped with a small garden, and the outside is connected
to the big garden. The electric car carried them for more than twenty minutes before they reached the
Ink Garden, if they really spare a circle, it would take more than an hour.
Although she had lived in Harvey Mansion for a year, she had barely walked through it. For one thing, it
was too big, and for another, she considered herself too humble to appear in Harvey Mansion, always
feeling as if there was no room for her in every part of it.
Calvin felt the silence and coldness of the woman beside him, he twisted his head and saw the forced
smile on her face, his heart was violently torn down with a burst of indescribable hardness. Perhaps
thinking of her embarrassing situation, he actually reached out and wrapped hisrge palm around her
hand, giving her an encouraging and friendly smile.
Is this a way to please her? Was it a fear that she would tell on him in front of his grandmother? She
lowered her eyes and forced a nice smile back at him.
She still had a surreal feeling until she was led off the electric cart by Calvin. If Calvin hadn''t held her,
she thought she would have made a fool of herself and wouldn''t have even been able to find a ce
because she was so distracted.
In the living room of the Ink Garden, both the buildings and furniture were antique and in a retro style.
The couch was luxurious yet practical. The middle of the couch consisted of several long cubes
assembled together, with an openwork pattern etched into the back of the couch. The backrest of the
couch was iid with gold and was in a mahogany wood color, which made it look noble and calming.
The two sides were surrounded by four separate couches, all of which were of simr openwork
designs. The chairs in the middle of the living room were arranged in a row.
