Chapter 480 It''s Not Easy Being the Daughter-In-Law of the Harvey Family


    "Liya, let''s go over there and toast the others. After drinking, Calvin no longer looked at Zoe. He


    turned around and spoke softly to Liya, who was next to him. After speaking, he gently held Liya''s


    hand. His gaze was so tender that it looked as if butter wouldn''t melt in his mouth. On the other hand,


    Liya still looked very shy."


    Calvin carefully took care of her. The two of them held hands and walked past Zoe.


    Zoe''s eyes were as cold as frost.


    "Mr. Harvey is really lucky to be able to marry such a beautiful wife, and take such an endearing


    second wife. Ah. Oscar''s mouth opened slightly, almost drooling."


    "Zoe nced at him with a disgusted look, and then suddenly smiled faintly."


    "Oscar, do you think Liya is beautiful?"


    "Of course, she''s so beautiful, Oscar replied without even thinking. However, he was not silly and


    immediately added, ""Of course, no matter how beautiful she is, she can''t bepared to my wife. My


    wife is not only hardworking but also gorgeous! You are truly the wife of a rich and powerful family. As


    long as I am with you, I am satisfied."""


    A cold smile appeared at the corner of Zoe''s lips.


    "Oscar, do you also want a second wife like Liya? she asked deliberately, and there was a meaningful


    expression on her face."


    "Oscar didn''t understand what she was saying for a while and didn''t know how to reply. He was afraid


    of offending her and making her unhappy. So, he was stunned for a moment."


    "He seemed to be in a daze, as he was in a dilemma now."


    Zoe suddenlyughed.


    "Oscar, as long as you listen to me, I will get you a second wife like Liya, okay?"


    "Although she said this with a smile, her words seemed very sincere and no one could notice her


    unpleasant tone."


    Oscar smiled apologetically and spoke in a silly manner.


    "Honey, I am satisfied to have you as my only woman. If you are willing to get a second wife for me, I


    will thank you for the rest of my life."


    "Hissciviousness was all over his face, and his lust was also strong."


    "As long as you are willing to listen to me, I promise to do it for you. Then, you can marry a beautiful


    woman or be someone else''s secret lover. It''s up to you. I will definitely satisfy your desire. Zoe knew


    that he believed her. So, she continued to tempt him."


    "Okay, okay, honey, I''ll listen to everything you say. Although Oscar was physically stunted, his sexual


    desire was fully developed. Also, his desire for women was also very strong. Ever since he met Zoe


    in A City, in order to show off, he stayed away from other women for nTristany a month. Now that he


    heard that Zoe was being so generous, he couldn''t control himself anymore."


    "However, primarily, he wasn''t able to conquer Zoe fully, and this kept on rankling him. Moreover,


    before he came to A City, Matteo had issued a strict order that he must get Zoe in A City this time.


    Forget the pregnancy, he must at least have a rtionship with her before that."


    "As for women, if they hadn''t given away their virginity, they wouldn''t follow the man wholeheartedly."


    Oscar knew this very well.


    "Therefore, it could be said that he had been resting and conserving his energy for more than a month.


    He looked forward to making out with Zoe. However, Zoe was too shrewd. She was like a cunning


    rabbit. She would not let him seed. Forget sleeping with her, he could not even kiss her until now."


    This caused him to desire for more and he was extremely ufortable.


    "Because of this, Oscar was full of energy after finishing his meal everyday. Everyday, he thought of


    Zoe. He wanted to find ways to sleep with her."


    "Very good. As long as you cooperate with me, I won''t let you suffer. This time, Zoe smiled and took


    the initiative to hold his arm and toast the other guests."


    "Oscar was overwhelmed with joy and his face was all smiles. Zoe''s fragrance wafted over from time


    to time, intoxicating him so much that he couldn''t control himself."


    "Belle was sitting in theputer room on the first floor, staring at theputer screen."


    "When Calvin brought Liya to the banquet, the news of their interview immediately became the


    headlines."


    "Below the news, there were all kinds ofments and rhetorics."


    "The love triangle between her, Calvin, and Liya was discussed publicly at this moment. They were the


    primary focus of the gossip. Almost all the media magazines reported their scandal, which took up


    many pages."


    "Sitting at home, Belle could even feel all kinds of ridicule and sympathy for her."


    "She sat there quietly, staring with dry eyes at the tender and caring Calvin who had appeared in public


    with Liya. They were intimate and his smile was warm."


    "At this moment, she felt that this man was so far away from her. It was as if the love and affection did


    not belong to her anymore and they had never known each other. Only the sting in her heart kept


    reminding her that this man was still her husband."


    The doorbell rang for a long time before Belle clicked on the button of the remote control to open the


    door.


    "Ma''am, Mr. Harvey wants to see you in the study, Larry said respectfully at the door."


    Hudson? Looking for her?


    "After Belle was shocked for a while, she came to her senses and immediately nodded."


    She stood up and walked calmly towards the study on the second floor.


    The door to Hudson''s study was ajar. It was not shutpletely.


    Belle rang the doorbell.


    "Pleasee in, Hudson said with a calm voice from inside."


    Belle gently pushed open the door of the study.


    "Hudson''s study was very big. It was as big as a few rooms and upied almost the entire second


    floor. There was only one master bedroom for him and Paige, and then there was this huge study on


    the second floor."


    "Belle had stayed in Harvey Manor for a few years. Yet, she had never been to this study alone. Every


    time she came, she woulde when she was summoned by Hudson. Plus, during the years when


    Hudson was in a vegetative state, Paige had sealed the study."


    "Therefore, Belle was actually not familiar with this study."


    "Dad, are you looking for me?"


    Hudson was wearing a pair of sses and was painting a picture. He was painting vigorously and the


    images seemed toe to life on the white sheet of paper on the painter''s easel.


    "The painting was powerful, brimful, and graceful."


    Everyone knew that Hudson was good at painting.


    "Plus, he was just like his paintings. He was precise, firm, yet tender. He was thoughtful and tight-


    lipped in his actions."


    "Belle,e in, Hudson said gently, and immediately put down the brush in his hand when he heard


    Belle."


    "Okay, Belle responded politely. She simply stood there and waited for Hudson to speak to her."


    "Belle, why don''t youe and see my painting? Hudson smiled and greeted her."


    Huh? Belle was a little surprised.


    "She hadn''t always been very fond of paintings. Could it be that Hudson had asked her toe here


    that day just to let her appreciate his painting skills? She really did not understand, but out of


    politeness, she quietly walked over to him."


    She approached the vast rosewood easel.


    "The piece of white paper in the middle was not big, but there was a single image. It was the fa?ade of


    Harvey Manor."


    "In order to give a pertinent answer, Belle looked down and observed carefully."


    "The image of the fa?ade of Harvey Manor was painted by Hudson in a remarkable manner. The edges


    of every brush stroke of the fa?ade were slightly sharp. Yet, the sharp edges were subtle, as the brush


    strokes stopped abruptly at every edge of the fa?ade."


    This kind of artistry could not be painted without profound skills.


    "Dad, your painting skills are really good. Belle couldn''t help praising Hudson. ""The brush strokes are

    thick and thin, and neither too intentional nor careless. It''s neither tilted nor upright, and neither dry nor


    moist. It''s just right."""


    "Neither intentional nor careless. You''ve described it well, Hudson said this,ughing out loud when he


    heard this. ""Belle, you gave a really high evaluation. Not bad, your evaluation is already better than my


    skills. You can think deeply. Since you can convey it, it can be seen that your thoughts have already


    reached this level."""


    "Belle blinked her eyes. When she heard Hudson''s praise, she was slightly moved."


    "Belle, I already know what happened between you and Calvin. Hudson put down his brush and


    washed his hands in the sink. He took a towel to wipe them, and then he cut to the chase."


    That was it?


    "Upon hearing his words, a bitter smile appeared at the corners of Belle''s lips. She did not know what


    he was thinking, but instead, she quietly stood there, as the corners of her mouth twitched in silence."


    "It''s not easy to be the daughter-inw of the Harvey family, Hudson said in a solemn manner."


    "Belle''s heart trembled a little. She curled up her fingers, and her breathing was a little hard."


    "Belle. Hudson looked at her and asked thoughtfully, ""If, I mean if Calvin insists on taking Liya as his


    second wife, can you ept it for my sake?"""


    "As soon as he asked this question, Belle was shocked."


    What did this mean?!


    Did her father-inw also agree that Calvin should take a second wife?


    "She always thought that Hudson doted on her. No matter what kind of decision she made, he had


    always supported her. Normally, when it came to big decisions like taking a second wife, he would


    support her unconditionally. However, no matter how she thought about it now, she could tell that he


    was forcing her to ept it."


    "Dad, what do you mean? Belle asked anxiously as her face turned pale."


    "Looking at her, Hudson let out a deep sigh."


    "Belle, there are many things in the world that can''t be done perfectly. But you have to believe


    that every single one of us from the Harvey family will treat you well. We hope that you can be happy.


    We will do our best to ensure your happiness. But if that day reallyes that Calvin will have to marry


    Liya, I hope you will face it calmly. His expression was solemn and his gaze was distant. When Hudson


    said these words, he looked elsewhere."


    "After a long time, Belle understood how cruel reality was. She sobbed and asked, ""Dad, do you think I


    can still be happy after Calvin marries Liya?"""


    "Hudson felt his hand tremble slightly and he held his sses with his hand. Then, he ced his hands


    behind his back and paced a few steps. He said firmly, ""You have to find happiness on your own,


    unlike what others perceive. I called you here today to tell you that happiness is actually very simple.


    As long as you''re willing, you''ll be happy. It''s the threshold that you have to surmount in your heart."""


    Belle felt like she was about to faint.


    How could she be happy sharing her husband with another woman?


    "No, I can''t ept it, Belle retorted loudly without even thinking."
