Chapter 368 Common Sense
"Octavia, has Calvine back from Wullen Town yet? Zoe asked in a casual manner, the corners
of her mouth tugging up. "
"Miss Yates, not yet. Octavia smiled and answered excitedly. ""He is now being held up by the
petrochemical factory. Also, since Kate is still antagonistic towards Calvin, she won''t hear of Belle
following him back to A city. These two matters have already given him enough issues to contend with.
I am afraid he will note back for the time being."""
"Octavia got even more excited with each passing statement, while there was sly quality to Zoe''s
smile. "
"With her woman''s intuition, Kate would not let her daughter get back with Calvin without a guarantee,
while Calvin would always have a soft spot for Belle. Calvin had worked himself to the bone, trying to
search for his wife and son. He would not give up until he brought them back."
"The petrochemical factory too, was holding Calvin back. Such a good opportunity posed as a huge
advantage for her n."
"Continue to sending people to the petrochemical factory to hold Calvin back. Harvey Group won''t be
able to survive the financial crisis. If hees back even only a few dayster, a lot of the Harvey
Group''s funds will be gone for good. Maybe this amount of money won''t affect them much, but it will
cause him some trouble. We can''t pass up on such a godsend opportunity, Zoe said with a faint
smile."
"Yes, Miss Yates, Octavia agreed happily, and left."
"After Octavia left, Zoe stood up and picked up the phone on the desk. "
"She dialled a number. After the other end picked up, she asked sweetly, ""Sergio, it''s been a long time.
Do you still remember me?"" "
"Sergio had juste back from a workout at the backyard garden. When he heard the soft and sweet
voice, he became confused."

"The woman''s voice sounded familiar, but he really couldn''t figure out who it belonged to."
"Sergio, why, you can''t even remember my voice. It seems that the ''little white rabbit''petition that
year was in vain. You really only have Belle in your heart, huh? Zoe said in a teasing tone as she
pretended to sound upset. "
"Sergio was shocked. ''Little white rabbit''? Not to mention, she even knew Belle''s name. That woman
then had to be..."
"Suddenly, realization dawned on him. ""Zoe."" He breathed. "
"Finally, you remembered. Not easy, huh. Zoe burst intoughter. "
"Soft-spoken as she might be, she was also sharp-tongued. She was a delicate woman with the
ambition of a real man. Her character was as strong as that of a man. Who could it be other than
Zoe? "
Sergio couldn''t help but tough.
"That year, at Brooklyn''s party, a special feast had been prepared for thedies. Everydy at the party
had received a special gift."
"Unfortunately, Belle and Zoe had had their eyes set on a soft and cute little white rabbit at the same
time. At first, it was Belle who had gotten it. However, Zoe was a haughty person. She had snatched
it from her and said that she hadid eyes on the rabbit first. Belle''s family had been in dire
circumstances at that time. She had been able to join the party because Old Master Harvey had
specifically asked Ethan to take her there. Therefore, she had been cautious, afraid of beingughed
at. Even when Zoe had snatched the little white rabbit from her, she hadn''t dared to say so much of a
word. She had only stood there, on the verge of tears, suffering in silence."
"At that time, Sergio had not been able to take his eyes off her. Her every move had stirred his heart.
When he had caught Zoe bullying her, he had immediately stood up for her. He had grabbed the little
white rabbit from Zoe and given it to Belle."
"Of course, Zoe had not been willing to ept defeat. She had started a fight with Sergio. The fight
between the two had then alerted Brooklyn. After learning the whole story, Brooklyn hadughed.
Everyone hadughed."
Brooklyn had immediately ordered to make one exactly like it. They had it done on the same night and
gave it to Zoe. Only then had the matter been put to an end.
"However, after that incident, Sergio had realized that Zoe was a sassy woman. She was very
stubborn too. She had actually dared to start a fight with him. That woman was not someone to be
trifled with."
"Of course, those feelings were of a young man towards a young woman. It had happened so many
years ago. He would not take it to heart. "
I didn''t expect that Miss Yates would remember me. It''s my great honor. Sergioughed and joked.
"Don''t even mention it. You''re a fine-looking man, very talented, and charming. I''ve always kept you in
my heart, never forgetting about you. It''s just that you are too high up to reach. How would I have the
decency to disturb you. Zoeughed. Her liveliness could be felt even over the phone. "
"Zoe, your words are making me feel embarrassed. I think you still remember what happened in the
past. How about I go to A City to apologize to you one day? Sergio smiled and answered frankly."
"Deal. I''ll wait for you in A city then, Zoe replied casually."
"No problem, Sergio said straightforwardly."
"Sergio, Belle is now in Wullen Town. Isn''t that the woman you love the most? You have to strike while
the iron is hot. Zoe''s lips curled into a smile as she spoke. "
Sergio''s face darkened as he chuckled.
"Sergio thought of the night when he went for dinner with Belle, and his heart skipped a beat. The
corners of his mouth turned up, but he said self-deprecatingly, ""She doesn''t have her eye on me. Miss
Yates, stop mocking me."" "
"That''s not necessarily true. Now that your opportunity hase, you have to take advantage of it.
Zoeughedfortably, and said, dragging out thest letter of her sentence. ""Also, Sergio, are
you sure you can take control of the petrochemical factory?"""
"The petrochemical factory? The smile on Sergio''s face dissolved. How did that woman know about the
petrochemical factory? What did she know? Immediately, he knitted his brows and asked tly, ""Miss
Yates, what are you talking about? What petrochemical factory?"""
"Zoeughed and avoided the question. She only said, ""Sergio, I hope you can gain something in
Wullen Town. After all, Belle is there. Also, don''t forget to treat me to a meal in A City."""
"With only that sentence, the two proceeded to talk about some unrted topics and did not stay on
the earlier subject."
"After waking up from a deep sleep, Belle regained some energy. Calvin had really drained her badly
the night before. "
"Jerry, Jerry. After she got up, she washed up and grabbed something to eat. She felt that the house
was too quiet. It was so quiet that it was scaring her. Hence, she called out as she walked towards
Jerry''s room. "
"There''s no need to call for him. Chloe took Jerry out to y. Kate was sitting on the sofa, knitting a
sweater for Jerry. When she heard Belle''s voice, she quickly answered."
"The weather outside isn''t very good. Chloe brought him out, she better make sure he does not catch a
cold, Belle said. However, she still felt uneasy. She headed outside, wanting to see where they had
gone to. When she came out, she saw that there were pedestrians on both sides of the street, but
definitely no sign of the two of them. She was shocked. Then, she remembered that for the past few
days, Chloe would bring Jerry out ande back when it was time. The thing was, where did they
go? "
There weren''t any nearby ces to go at all. Did she bring Jerry somewhere far?
"She walked towards the road. Just after she took a step or two, she heardughter. "
"Following the sound of theughter, she looked over. It was none other than Calvin''s ce!"
"A thought shed across her mind. ""Have they gone to Calvin''s house?"" Chloe was a family doctor
of the Harvey Group. In other words, she was a subordinate of Calvin. It waspletely possible for
her to bring Jerry there."
"After thinking it through, she headed towards Calvin''s house."
"As soon as she set foot in the house, she heard Calvin''s and Jerry''sughter. They seemed to be
enjoying themselves."
"Surely enough, they were there!"
"That guy had rented the house next door for Jerry''s sake. Hence, Chloe bringing Jerry there had to be
under Calvin''s orders. "
"Quietly, Belle walked in and pushed the door open. Her eyes widened."
"The entire room was filled with all sorts of toys and food. At the moment, Jerry was surrounded by a
pile of colorful balls. There was a toy car in his hand, and he waved it around. Excitement was written
all over his face as heughed happily."
"Calvin was wearing a monster mask on his face. There was a hand-drawn beard on his face, a small
red nose hat on his nose, and a balloon on his lips. He was ying with Jerry."
Belle didn''t know whether tough or cry when she saw how chaotic and funny the scene was.
Jerry was so excited that his arms and limbs were moving about. He was having a great time with
Calvin.
He didn''t even see Belleing in.
"The father and the son duo didn''t notice her, or they might have seen her but just ignored her as if she
didn''t exist. They only cared about having fun. On the other hand, Chloe was standing outside, chatting
with Aron."
"Jerry. After a while, Belle called out. "
The child had been out for a period of time. It was time to have some milk.
"Only then did Jerry hear Belle''s voice. He turned his head to look at her, but only smiled at her. Then,
he turned his head to y with Calvin. He did not run to her like how he usually did. "
"Great. Now that he had his father, the mother hadpletely slipped off his mind."
Belle felt a sense of loss.
"When she looked up and saw Jerry holding a fruit jelly in his hand and stuffing it into his mouth, she
jumped in surprise. That kid was probably hungry, but since he was too involved in ytime, he wanted
to eat whatever he could see. "
Jerry hadn''t tried eating any snacks yet. He couldn''t just swallow the jelly like that. What if he choked
on it? The news media had already reported such incidents many times.
"How could Calvin, an adult, not be aware of this kind of danger? she thought to herself."
"Her expression changed as she broke into a run towards him. She stepped into the pile of colourful
balls and snatched the fruit jelly from his hand as she said loudly, ""No eating."" "
"Jerry was about to chomp on the sweet jelly, but Belle took it away from him. Not getting what he
wanted, and seeing Belle looking so serious, he began to cry."
"There was no denying that ever since Calvin came into his life, the number of people who doted on
him had increased. He would make a fuss over everything, bursting into tears as he liked, and throwing
tantrums at the slightest bit of disagreement."
"What''s wrong? Seeing that his baby son was crying, Calvin''s heart ached. When he saw that Belle
had an angry look on her face, he thought that she was unhappy because she was left out. "
"When footfalls were heard from outside, he had known that it was her. He ignored her on purpose
because he wanted to let her know how it felt to be ignored by their son, so she wouldn''t refuse to go
back with him. He didn''t expect her to be so upset, and even to speak so harshly to Jerry."
Do you know how to be a father? Do you not have anymon sense? Belle asked straightforwardly.
She was extremely displeased.
