Chapter 490 Liya Meets Calvin''s Parents


    "When Calvin returned to the bedroom, Belle was already sleeping soundly. He bent down to nce at


    her, and he saw that she was sleeping very peacefully. She looked like she didn''t feel as much pain as


    she had over the past few days. It seemed that she had adapted to the environment too. Calvin felt


    very gratified upon seeing that, but at the same time, he also felt deeply sorry for her."


    "Belle didn''t know when it happened, but she felt warm and thick shoulders embracing her, and her


    face was caressed gently by a hand. She then opened her eyes in a daze. The lights in the bedroom


    were dim, and Calvin appeared in front of her with a slightly tired face."


    "She nced at him, turned her face away, and turned her back towards him."


    "Over the past few days, he woulde back every night to keep herpany, and he would always


    be extremely gentle."


    "However, Belle still felt very ufortable. She felt like she had been pricked by a thorn, and she


    treated him very coldly."


    "Belle, are you awake? Calvin hugged her from behind and spRhysed his hot breath on her neck. His


    lips were brushing against her Tristanobe, and his voice was very soft and pleasant to listen to."


    Belle closed her eyes and ignored him.


    "Calvin knew that she was angry. Even if she could adapt to the current situation, it was too difficult for


    a woman to ept her husband''s betRhysal without any resentment."


    Calvin felt a surge of guilt and remorse in his heart.


    "During those days, he tried his best to avoid that kind of situation, but he still couldn''t predict what


    would happen."


    He wrapped her body from behind with his arms and clung to her with his scorching body.


    "Belle, I want you, he whispered in her ear with a soft and sweet voice, greedily breathing in her


    fragrance. "


    "That was the only form of love he could give her. At present, he could onlypensate her like that as


    he really didn''t know what else he could do."


    "Deep down, he was very afraid of losing her."


    "Belle was calm and she didn''t get angry. She simply closed her eyes. Over the past few days, Calvin


    would always return home to be by her side and spend all his time loving her. His love for her was


    gentle and delicate, yet it was intense. His intense love would always end up enveloping her."


    "His shameful words and actions would usually make her blush when she thought of them in the


    morning. His passionate gentleness and extreme love really made her feel the blissfulness of being a


    woman. When he hugged her to sleep, she felt that she was a blessed wife."


    "Even if she had to face the cruel reality the next day, the love he gave her at night still made her feel


    reluctant to refuse him."


    "It was due to the fact that she was afraid that she would not be able to live a blissful life anymore. So,


    she yearned for a blissful life a lot. She wanted to live a happy life with Calvin and Jerry. Even if it was


    just a pipe dream, she still wanted to feel that way."


    She smiled bitterly.


    "Actually, she understood that Calvin was going to marry Liya and that deep down, he was worried that


    Belle would disagree, or that she would propose a divorce. Hence, he would always make love to her


    every night in order to keep her from leaving."


    "All wives couldn''t bear to leave their husbands, and Belle was no exception. Her attachment to Calvin


    was the same as how Calvin couldn''t leave her. In recent days, even though she was very exhausted,


    she stillplied with Calvin''s each and every demand, in order to satisfy him as much as possible."


    "She didn''t know how long that kind of life wouldst, but she also wanted to keep feeling that kind of


    bliss for as long as possible. She was infatuated by his presence and was worried that she would


    suddenly lose him one day, which would make her feel panicky and ufortable."


    "Actually, she didn''t have the courage to leave him. Even if she watched him marry Liya and see them


    flirt in front of her, she would still force herself to hold back her tears and look at them, as she didn''t


    have the courage to leave that family and him."


    "Belle and him were inseparable for a long time. So, how could she bear to be away from him?"


    "Right then, she understood why some women pretended to be fine and maintained their status quo


    even though they knew their husband cheated on them with some other woman outside. It was


    because they couldn''t bear it."


    "The next morning, Calvin held onto Belle''s hand as they went downstairs."


    "When they were still upstairs, Belle had already sensed that the atmosphere was somewhat strange.


    Indeed, when Calvin held her hand tightly and led her down to the hall downstairs, her keen eyes


    captured a scene that left her astounded."


    "Liya, who was dressed up very elegantly, was sitting on the couch, with her hands on her knees. She


    had a kind expression and looked like a graceful and virtuous young woman, which inspired one to love


    her upon seeing her."


    "On the other hand, Hudson was seated across from her like an elder meeting a young one. From time


    to time, he would chat with her and ask questions in a kind manner. The atmosphere was very


    amiable."


    Liya''s face was all smiles as she answered Hudson''s questions in a virtuous manner. She sounded


    very gentle and soft. One could not help but to dote on her.


    What was going on?! Liya hade to meet Calvin''s parents!


    That woman was not simple at all!


    "Belle waspletely stunned. Her entire body trembled, as she involuntarily approached Calvin.


    However, she quickly understood the cruel reality, and wanted to turn around and leave."


    "Calvin had long sensed her subtle changes. He turned his head to look at her and used his palm to


    hold her hand, keeping her by his side."


    "Calvin, Belle, you guys are here. Good morning. When Liya saw that Calvin and Belle hade


    down, she hurriedly stood up with a smile on her face and spoke respectfully. Also, when she saw


    Calvin and Belle holding each other''s hands tightly, she quickly averted her gaze and smiled calmly."


    "She knew that her status in Harvey Manner was simply the second wife and that it wasn''t her ce to


    be jealous of Belle. Furthermore, that day was her first time meeting Calvin''s parents. So, naturally, she


    had to maintain her magnanimity and calmness."


    "Belle, this is my first time here. So, I would really appreciate your guidance. In the future, I want to be


    on good terms with you and manage this family together, Liya said as she smiled at Belle in an


    extremely friendly manner."


    "Belle''s face turned pale, and it took her a long time to calm down. In the face of Liya''s enthusiasm, she


    tried her best to force a smile."


    "Liya, there''s no need to be so polite. Please take a seat."


    "Alright, thank you, Belle. Liya smiled very generously, turned around, and sat on the couch with her


    light body. Her expression was very calm and natural, as if she already treated that ce like her


    home."


    "Mom, Dad, good morning. Calvin brought Belle, stood in front of Hudson and Paige, and greeted


    them."


    "Good morning. Hudson''s eyes were very deep, and one couldn''t easily see through him. He only


    replied with a friendly nod. His eyes rested on Belle''s face for a moment, before drifting over and


    pointing to the couch next to him. ""Have a seat. I have something to say."""


    "Okay, Calvin answered politely and sat down on the couch on the other side with Belle."


    "Paige''s expression wasplicated, and it could be seen that she was nervous. She had never


    expected Belle, who had always been very fond of having Calvin to herself, to agree to let Calvin take a


    second wife, and even invited Liya to live in the manor."


    "That was beyond her imagination. She even thought that it was ridiculous! Thinking of what she said


    to Belle in the backyard that day, she felt extremely embarrassed, to the point where she didn''t even


    know how to face Belle."


    "Belle, Calvin''s and Liya''s matters are already on the news, but I think you guys already know that.


    Since Calvin''s and Liya''s rtionship has already been exposed, then we can''t joke it off anymore. We


    will take responsibility for this. Right now, you are Calvin''s first wife, and it is Liya''s first time meeting


    her elders in the Harvey family. So, I thought that I should make things clear to you, and I also hope


    that you will guide her well in all aspects in the future, so that she won''t make any mistakes and


    be aughing stock, Hudson said to Belle directly, after they sat down."


    "Belle was prepared for that, but she neither expected that the matter would happen so soon, nor that


    Liya would show up in the manor so quickly."


    "Facing that kind of situation, she felt a chill all over. She could neither choose whether to answer nor


    to refute Hudson''s words. She had no choice but to ept it."


    "In fact, the modern-looking Harvey Manor was actually a strict feudal house."


    "There was no way for her, a daughter-inw of the family, to refute the decision made by the elders of


    the Harvey family. She had no other choice but to ept it."


    "In that way, neither Hudson nor Calvin had directly consulted her opinion. When Hudson asked her to

    go to the study that day, he was actually just telling her to follow his ns. It wasn''t a discussion at all,


    and she understood it."


    Tears of disappointment welled up in her eyes but she forced them back.


    "Okay, Dad. She looked up at Hudson. His eyes were unfathomable. She couldn''t figure out what his


    intention was, but she had no choice but to give a clear answer."


    "Alright. Hearing her reply, Hudson was obviously very satisfied. He nodded his head in approval."


    "Liya, since you''vee to see us elders today, it can be said that you''re already partially a part of the


    Harvey family, and it''s very likely that you''ll be a family member in the future. Belle is the head


    wife of our family. This is a fact that no one can change. The people in Harvey Manor all respect her


    and we hope that you''ll respect her too. Please listen to her and treat her as if she were your own


    sister, Hudson said solemnly to Liya with amanding tone."


    "Liya immediately felt a cold, awe-inspiring chill."


    "When Hudson spoke with Belle just then, it was in a kind and gentle tone, exactly like a father


    speaking to his daughter, but he spoke to Liya in a stern tone, as if he was speaking to an outsider or


    his subordinate."


    "Liya, our family is a prestigious family. There are many rules and restrictions in Harvey Manor. I hope


    you will prepare yourself and abide by these rules, so that you won''t bring shame to Fragrance Garden.


    Paige''s gaze was even sharper and colder."


    "Yes, Dad, Mom, I will. Liya was a smart person. Although she didn''t like it, she still could feel the


    chilling auraing from Hudson and Paige, but she was already very grateful that they epted


    her. So, she immediately changed her mind and answered sweetly and modestly."


    "Nevertheless, at that moment, Liya clearly felt the huge contrast between the respect everyone in


    Harvey Manor had for Belle and their treatment of her."
