Chapter 172 Anything Else to Say?


    Calvin was pacing in the garden downstairs in Ink Garden, feeling restless. He wanted to go in but he


    was afraid.


    In the current situation, no matter what, he had to get his grandma''s support. Thinking about that his


    grandma had always liked Belle so much, Calvin thought that she would definitely support him.


    As long as Grandma insisted on liking Belle and insisted on her opinion, he would have the courage


    and excuse to reject Lexie.


    It depended on himself!


    In the past, in front of Grandma, he repeatedly emphasized that he hated Belle. He even forced Belle to


    divorce him. But now he came to Grandma, saying that he liked Belle, and that he would not marry


    anyone except her. For him, wasn’t it a p in the face?


    Calvin was pacing. Yes, even Albie told him that he could ask Grandma if he encountered something


    important. Now, he was really in trouble. But just because Grandma forced him to marry Belle at that


    time, he was actually estranged from Grandma. Now he felt guilty and uneasy.


    Constantly pacing in the garden, he was embarrassed to go in, but he didn’t want to go back without


    getting anything.


    "Ma’am, Mr. Calvin has been pacing downstairs for a long time. Shall I invite him in?" Ruth saw Calvin


    embarrassed toe in. She worried that the olddy''s beloved grandson, so she immediately told


    Sophia.


    Unexpectedly, Sophia didn’t feel distressed after hearing this, but just said lightly.


    "Don''t worry about him. Since he made a mistake, he has to bear it himself. Our family won''t do such a


    shameful thing."


    Then Ruth didn’t say anything.


    Calvin took out a cigarette and took a few drags. Finally, he made up his mind and walked upstairs.


    "Ruth, is Grandma asleep?" As soon as Calvin walked into the door of Sophia''s bedroom and stood on


    the steps, he saw Ruth watering the flowers. He remembered that when Grandma fell asleep, Ruth


    would water grandma''s favorite flowers. So he asked softly.


    "Mr. Calvin is here." Ruth looked up at Calvin and smiled kindly, "Come in and have a seat. It''s cold


    outside."

    Calvin smiled and followed Ruth to the reception room inside. Ruth made him some good tea, served


    him with delicious food, and talked to him with a smile, but she never mentioned Sophia, which made


    Calvin not know what to do.


    "Mr. Calvin, try this fruit. I pickled them by myself. It''s from a century-old tree in Ink Garden. It can


    moisten your lungs. It''s very good." Ruth picked one with a toothpick and sent it to Calvin, saying.


    Calvin didn''t have the mood to eat. But Ruth had already put it to his mouth, so he could only thank her.


    Then he took it and put it into his mouth, taking a bite. The expression on his face changed.


    What kind of fruit was this? It was astringent and bitter. It was tough to choke down!


    But Calvin was too embarrassed to spit it out, so he had to swallow it forcefully.


    "Mr. Calvin, it tastes bad at first. But after a while, you won''t think so." Seeing his face, Ruth smiled,


    and exined, "This stuff is generally not avable in the market. This tree was specially transnted


    from India by your grandma, and it is very precious. Most people don’t like this kind of fruit at first, but


    gradually, they will like it.”


    Sure enough, after a while, Calvin only felt sweet. The sweetness came from the throat all the way to


    the stomach. Only then did Calvin realize this fruit was yummy. He couldn''t help but smiled and praised


    it.


    "Ruth, Grandma..." After a while, Calvin couldn''t help but asked.


    "Wait." As if Ruth just remembered it, she walked to the bedroom inside. After a while, she came out


    and said in a low voice, "Ma’am just woke up. It''s time to read the newspaper. I have already told her


    that you’re here. She just told you to wait first. You know your grandma will read the newspaper every


    day at this time. If you have nothing to do, just wait first. If there is an urgent matter, you might as well


    go to deal with it first, and thene back when you are done."


    Hearing this, Calvin could only smile and say, "Ruth, read the newspaper to Grandma first. I have


    nothing to do. I can wait."


    "Okay, you stay here and have some tea and some pastries. I''ll tell you after I finish reading it as soon


    as possible." Ruthforted Calvin after hearing it. Then she picked up the newspaper and quietly


    went in.


    Calvin was bored. He had to sit on the couch and eat that kind of fruit. After a while, he didn''t even feel


    the slightest bit of astringency in his mouth. It was just sweet. Calvin found that he fell in love with


    eating this stuff.


    Then he actually waited for two hours.


    Just when he was impatient, he saw Ruth walking out with a smile. She said to him, "I''m sorry to make


    you wait for long. Your grandma was in high spirits today and asked me to read one more page. Now


    she invites you in."


    "Well, well." Although Calvin felt anxious, he had no choice but to say that it was okay. Then he walked


    in. Calvin had never waited for a person so patiently. But this person was his grandma. He had to


    respect her.


    It was winter now. Sophia was always cold. So the floor was covered with woolen carpets. Calvin took


    off his shoes and walked in lightly.


    "Grandma." Sophia was half lying on the deck chair, covered with a warm cashmere nket. Her face


    was ruddy. She was in good spirits. Hearing Calvin, she had a loving smile on her face.


    "Calvin, you came to see me." She smiled kindly.


    "Grandma, I''ve been a little busytely, so I haven''t been able to see you often. Please forgive me."


    Calvin stooped down and squatted in front of Sophia, showing a smile to cover up the embarrassment.


    In recent years, his rtionship with his grandma had not been as close as in previous years. Now,


    when he thought of the reason, he felt ashamed.


    "My grandson is so outstanding. Naturally, you have to be busy, as long as you miss me often." Sophia


    said lovingly with a smile on her face.


    Calvin felt even more ashamed. He smiled awkwardly.


    "Calvin, is there anything that youe to me?" Sophia asked with concern.


    Calvin looked up at his grandma''s concerned eyes, feeling touching. It seemed that he was back when


    he was a child. No matter what he did wrong, his grandma would smile and say, "It''s alright, as long as


    Calvin can correct it. I''ll always trust my grandson."


    At that time, Calvin would be full of self-confidence and full of gratitude to his grandma.


    But did he do something wrong?


    Why did he feel the same way he did when he was a kid?


    "Grandma, I just wanted to see you." Calvin didn''t know where to start, so he hesitated. Then he


    added, "Grandma, Dad may be getting better. He had the surgery in M Country. It’s Belle who is


    responsible for these things."


    Speaking of Belle, Calvin finally had a smile on his face.


    Sophia also nodded happily, but stared at him and asked, "Calvin, is it you who asked Belle to be


    responsible for your father''s surgery?"


    "Yes." Calvin smiled softly.


    "Do you believe in her now? I remembered that you hated her very much, and you hated me because


    of this." Sophia pointed out bluntly, without worrying about whether he would be embarrassed.


    This question made Calvin feel ashamed. He was blushed, and didn’t dare to face his grandma''s loving


    and sharp eyes.


    "Grandma, I was really stupid at that time. I didn''t know my feelings clearly. Please forgive me." Calvin


    lowered his head and said embarrassedly.


    The look in Sophia''s eyes was so calm that no emotions could be seen. The kind smile on her face was


    gone. Calvin had never seen this look before, which was calm but too sad.


    Sophia didn''t speak for a long time.


    Calvin also felt a little uneasy. He raised his head and saw the pain in Grandma''s eyes. He was


    shocked and felt an unprecedented chill.


    "Calvin, do you have anything else to say to me?" Sophia''s voice seemed to float out of the hell, which


    was deste and helpless, even with a trace of the emptiness, hitting Calvin''s heart. He looked at her


    uneasily. Seeing her gnarled face, Calvin said seriously, "Yes, Grandma, I figured it out clearly. The


    person I love is Belle. In fact, from the beginning, I love her. I didn''t see my heart clearly before, but


    now I see it clearly. I want to remarry her. It was all my fault before. I was sorry for her and you. Now


    I''ve made up my mind that I won''t marry anyone except her in this life."


    Calvin solemnly dered. He thought Grandma would be happy. Wasn''t this what she always wanted


    to see?


    But he was wrong.


    After listening to his words, Sophia did not show any joy. Her face was even darker than at the


    beginning. Her eyes dimmed. The expression on her face became heavier and heavier.


    There was unprecedented depression in the air. Calvin could hardly breathe.


    He didn''t hear Grandma say with a smile, "Calvin, just correct it if you’re wrong. I believe in you."


    Instead, he heard Sophia''s stern words.


    "Calvin, do you have nothing to tell me other than this?"


    Calvin felt confused again. Looking at his grandma, he shook his head nkly.


    "Calvin, what should you do to Lexie?" Sophia''s voice was so loud that Calvin quickly came to his


    sense.


    "No, Grandma, Lexie is none of my business. I have alreadypensated her. It’s her who didn''t know


    to cherish it. Besides, it’s you who agreed to let her live in Harvey Mansion. It’s already three months.


    Grandma, you can let her move out here." Calvin was flustered and even incoherent.
