Chapter 361 Sergio''s Visit


    "Aron, what are you babbling about? Calvin''s cold voice floated in from the outside."


    "Before she heard his voice, Belle detected a familiar scent. In a sh, Calvin''s tall figure walked


    through the door. "


    "Mr. Harvey, I... Aron''s face turned red, and he started stuttering again. "


    "Calvin nced at him, and then at Belle. An expression of annoyance was written all over his face."


    Belle''s eyes sparkled as she tried to suppress herughter. She met his eyes with a hint of mischief.


    "Aron, since when did you be so gossipy? Calvin looked displeased. Snorting, he growled, ""You


    big mouth!"""


    "As soon as he had set foot in the house, he heard Aron''s cheesypliments. As he walked further


    in, he instantly understood what was going on. What a joke! Did he, Mr. Harvey, need his subordinates


    to put in a good word for him with his woman?"


    "Mr. Harvey, uh, there''s something I need to do. I''ve got to go. Things were not going well. Therefore,


    Aron hastily excused himself and fled. "


    "Belle almostughed out loud watching the seven-foot-tall man flee in a hurry. At the moment, she was


    in a really good mood."


    You''re still smiling. Calvin''s gaze fell on her face. He was clearly annoyed.


    "Uh, I''ve got to go too. Raising her head, she saw Calvin gazing at her. His hot stare on her raised the


    temperature of the room. Panicking, she quickly announced her departure, and spun around."


    "No matter when and where, Calvin would never hide his desire for her."


    "Leave? You just got here and you want to leave? His lips curled into a smirk. Reaching out, he


    grabbed her arm, pulling her back. Spinning around, Belle stumbled into his arms. "


    "His chest was firm and strong. While the impact made Belle dizzy, the warmth of his embrace


    surrounded her. Even his breath was warm.  "


    "What were you talking about? He caressed her face, brought his mouth closer to her ear as he


    whispered to her. "


    Nothing much. Belle moved her face farther away from him as much as she could in an attempt to


    avoid his breath. Her entire face was flushed. "Let go of me. I need to feed Jerry."


    "Leaving after talking bad about me? It won''t be so easy. Calvin wrapped his iron grip arms around her.


    He did not have any intention to let her go. Even if she had pulled out the Jerry card, he would not give


    in. The wicked grin on his face made Belle even more flustered."


    "I didn''t talk bad about you, Belle retorted glumly. ""Even if you don''t believe me, shouldn''t you at least


    believe Aron?"" "


    "If you want me to believe you, show me some sincerity. Calvin bowed his head to look at her face. His


    gaze was hot enough to burn through her. "


    "Sincerity? Oh, please!"


    "You secretly moved in next door to me. What''s the meaning of that? Belle raised a hand to block his


    lips, which were moving closer to her, and questioned him."


    "Upon hearing that, Calvinughed and answered matter-of-factly, ""Of course it''s for my son''s sake.


    Besides, this house is not yours. Is it inappropriate for me to live here?"" "


    "His question rendered Belle speechless. Considering his words, she realized that they had a reason.


    While him hiding things from her did make her ufortable, she could not expect him to exin


    himself as he genuinely intended to look after Jerry. At that thought, she sulked, saying, ""Alright then,


    suit yourself."""


    "Chuckling, Calvin grabbed her waist with one hand. ""Then tell me, since we''re living so close to each


    other, shouldn''t we be more intimate?"""


    What do you want? Belle looked at him resignedly. Perhaps Aron''s words had improved her mood. Her


    eyes were soft and gentle. "Jerry is still waiting for me."


    "She mentioned Jerry once more. The darkness in his eyes seemed to have faded. However, his hands


    were still restless, slowly easing underneath her shirt, spreading an intense warmth all over her body."


    "Remember,e over tonight after Jerry has fallen asleep. I have something to discuss with you.


    Finally. Calvin released her. Nevertheless, he added a warning. ""If you don''te, you''re dead."""


    "As soon as Belle got out of his arms, she took to her heels. "


    "Watching her retreating figure, his lips curled into a grin. "


    "Her body was soft to the touch, and her scent drove him out of control. She was simply addictive, and


    there was no way he could let her go. For the past two years, he had been drowning in the thought of


    her. His desire for her was so strong that until this moment of reunion, his emotions flowed intensely


    like a wide, rushing river. "


    "Belle blushed scarlet. Actually, their rtionship had already escted to a point where they could not


    be separated. Not to mention they already had a child together. There was no reason for her to feel


    ashamed. However, when it came to facing his teasing and flirting, her heart would always race, and


    she would be unable to control her feelings. It frustrated her a lot that Calvin seemed to be the bane of


    her existence. "


    "Upon reaching her courtyard, she heard a heartyughtering from the house. It could even be


    heard from the road. "


    Belle was stunned.


    It was Kate''sughter.


    It had been a long time since shest heard herugh. It was even afortableugh.


    "Seemingly, she had rarely heard herugh ever since her father''s ident. Was there a happy event


    happening?"


    She sped up and walked into the house.


    "In the living room, a tall and handsome man was talking to Kate with a broad grin on his face. His


    amber eyes were glowing with humility and respect. With his well-built figure d in a dark green


    military uniform, he looked exceptionally dashing. In the small living room, his ekeets shone


    brightly."


    "The moment she set foot in the house, she could feel the living room brighten up, as if it was suddenly


    covered in gold, shining brightly."


    "On the table, there were several expensive gift boxes."


    "Standing in the living room, before she could even express her doubts, the man stood up and walked


    towards her with a charming smile stered across his face."


    "Belle, you''re back! His voice was pleasing to the ear, masculine yetcking no warmth. Like the sun


    Rhyss, it wasforting. "


    "You are... Belle raised her eyes to meet his, with puzzlement scribbled all over her face. The man


    knew her name, but she had no idea who he was. Who could he be? Was she being impolite?"


    But I really don''t know him. I don''t remember dealing with such a man. I don''t think I have even spoken


    to him. She thought to herself.


    Then who is he?


    "Belle, do you not know me? He let out a bubble ofughter, not minding Belle''s expression. Amused,


    he teased. ""Guess I''m too in-looking, that''s why you couldn''t remember me. It really isn''t your


    fault."""


    His teasing made Belle feel embarrassed. She forced a grin.


    "Belle, this is Mr. Xanthe''s son, Sergio Xanthe. You two have met in Capital City, at the banquet held by


    Grandpa Brooklyn, the one your father took you to. Kate exined. Seeing the dazed look on her


    daughter''s face, she knew her daughter had long forgotten about the man before her. "


    Sergio Xanthe? Did she know him?


    The banquet her father took her to? That was so long ago. She was still a child then!


    "Is that how you greet people? Noticing that her daughter was still dumbfounded, she could not help


    but to feel ashamed of herck of basic manners. Sergio was the best fighter in the military, yet he was


    willing to drop by their humble abode. Her daughter''s lukewarm reception painted them as uncultured


    people. It also made her seem like she didn''t care much about him. "


    "Oh, hello. Belle cleared her throat and smiled slightly. ""Please have a seat. My memory is not really


    good. I''m sorry."" "


    Haha! Sergioughed heartily.


    "Belle, you were only sixteen when I met you then. It has been so many years. It''s normal that you


    don''t remember me. I just hope that you won''t forget me from now on. Sergio stoppedughing after a


    moment, and kindly helped her out. "


    Belle giggled.


    "Mom, Mom. Jerry''s tender voice called out from the bedroom. Startled, Belle shot Sergio a smile


    before excusing herself. ""Please take a seat first! I have something to attend to."" "

    "Right after that, she turned around and entered the bedroom."


    "Baby, do you miss me? As soon as Belle entered the bedroom, her demeanour changed. Her eyes


    were full of love. Her voice was soft and gentle. "


    "Jerry had almost recovered from his illness and he seemed to be in good spirits. At the moment, he


    was ying with a toy car on the bed. Once he heard Belle''s voice, he happily called for her. When he


    saw her walking over, he threw away the toy he had in his hands and stretched them out towards her."


    "Belle beamed and opened her arms to him. As soon as Jerry was in his mother''s arms, he wrapped


    his arms around her neck, and gave her a kiss on the cheek as he wriggled in her arms in a coy


    manner."


    "Belle''s heart was overwhelmed with love. She was so happy that her eyes curved like a crescent


    moon. She held Jerry in her arms, and kissed him before asking softly. ""Jerry, did you miss me? Are


    you feeling better?"" She ced her hand on his forehead as she asked. To her delight, his forehead


    was cool to the touch. She knew that Jerry''s illness had beenpletely cured."


    Jerry chuckled as he moved around in her embrace.


    The mother and son were full of joy in the room.


    "Meanwhile, Belle and her son''sughter could be heard by Kate in the living room, and it made her


    feel embarrassed. She nced at Sergio uneasily."


    "The smile on Sergio''s face stiffened ever so briefly. However, quickly catching onto Kate''s thoughts,


    he put on a charming smile. "


    "Aunt Kate, I didn''t expect that after so many years of not seeing each other, Belle is still as kind and


    beautiful. You''re so blessed to have such a wonderful daughter, he said graciously. His hands were


    sped together as he leaned on the chair. A courteous man he was for being nonchnt about Belle


    having a child at all. In truth, he didn''t mind when he saw Belle, because he had already known about


    it."
