Chapter 601 I Love My Wife
"After they returned to their guest room, Calvin filled the bathtub with water."
"Belle, you''re covered in sweat. Let me help you with that, Calvin said as he stepped out from the
bathroom. Belle was lying on the couch with her eyes slightly shut. He wrapped his arms around her as
he whispered in her ears."
Belle did not move away and just stayed in his arms.
"The weather was too hot. Anyone else would be dripping in sweat from just standing outside, let alone
a pregnant woman like Belle."
"Calvin gently removed the clothes on Belle''s body, and helped her dry her sweat off, before carrying
her into the bathroom."
Calvin bathed her attentively.
"After the bath, Calvin helped her to change into her pajamas before returning to the bed. They were
cuddling as Calvin said, ""Belle, I''ll be heading to Capital City tomorrow. You have to take care of
yourself. I''ve told father to let Lomen protect you for the time being. You can always look for Lomen if
you need anything."""
"Calvin, is there any news from Capital City? Belle opened her eyes and asked with a hopeful tone."
Calvin caressed her belly gently. She was around two months pregnant already!
Calvin would be extremely excited every time he was reminded of this. He couldn''t express how
grateful he was towards Belle for this. He was regretful for not being there during Jerry''s birth. He must
be a responsible father this time.
"Belle, Luqman is taking care of things in Capital City. It shouldn''t be difficult for us to capture Ezrah
and rebel against him. Luqman is well-prepared. I have to get there myself, and find evidence against
Yadriel before the Harvey Group is convicted, Calvin exined as his breathing grew heavy."
"His hand, which was on her belly, started moving up slowly."
"Calvin... Belle called out softly and pulled his hand away before he could reach her sensitive spot. Her
voice was warm, longing, and slightly afraid, as she could tell what was going on in his mind."
"Calvin held her tightly with another hand and buried his head in the crook of her neck. He murmured,
""Don''t worry. I promise I''ll be gentle with you. I want you."""
His breath was hot and filled with affection.
Belle was stimted by his touch. She was trembling slightly.
Calvin had been restraining himself ever since Belle fell pregnant. He had been nothing but a
gentleman each night where they cuddled to sleep. Belle knew that he was afraid that he might hurt
her.
"Belle was a smart woman. If she was inexperienced during her pregnancy, as it was sudden, then it
was perfectly normal for her to be afraid of this. However, now that she had already given birth to Jerry,
she was very experienced in this."
"She was aware that they should restrain themselves during the pregnancy, but it was notpletely
disallowed. They just had to be more careful."
She slowly let go of her grasp.
Calvin was delighted with her tacit approval.
He lowered his head and locked her lips in a passionate kiss. His body was tense.
"She was soft in his arms and had a nice scent. As their tongues touched, he knew he was willing to be
intoxicated by this kiss for the rest of his life."
He was addicted to her body each time he felt her in his arms. He just couldn''t wait to unleash himself
on her.
"They had known each other for a long time, but each time they got intimate, it was like a whole new
experience for Calvin. It was as if they had just gotten to know each other that night. Nothing about this
felt routine or boring. They could just get entangled in each other and spend the rest of their lives
together."
"She was his wife, someone he could love rightfully. He was proud of this, and he wished time would
just stop here."
"However, the happy moments spent together were always too short for them."
Their love for each other lingered in the room until night fell.
They were exhausted after climaxing together. They fell asleep in each other''s arms.
......
"In the second half of the night, Belle woke up only to find that Calvin was gone."
She sat up in a panic.
"Calvin, Calvin, she cried out in the darkness."
There was no response. The darkness and loneliness were her onlypany.
She panicked. She searched for her phone but ended up with nothing.
"Slowly, Belle was reminded of the previous night when Calvin lifted her up from the couch. Her phone
must be somewhere by the couch too."
She got up in a hurry and fumbled for her cell phone.
Her phone had been turned off. Calvin must have switched it off so as not to disrupt her sleep.
She pressed hard on the power button and stared impatiently at the screen. She hastily dialed up his
number.
The call was connected.
She heaved a sigh of relief.
The phone was picked up a couple of secondster.
Belle.
Calvin.
"They called out almost at the same time, and stopped at the same time too."
Time stopped for a few seconds.
"Belle, go back to sleep. Calvin sounded a little tired, but he still coaxed her patiently."
"Calvin, where are you? Why did you leave so soon? Belle asked in a hurry, with her eyes wide open."
"Belle, you should rest. I''m on my way to the airport right now. I have to get to Capital City as soon as I
can. Take care of yourself for the next few days. Don''t make me worry about you. Can you do that?Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.
Calvin said over the phone. He was sitting in the car, with the skyscrapers dashing past him. He was
reluctant to leave too. He wished he could just go to sleep peacefully with his wife and children."
"No matter, he received Luca''s call earlier. They already had Ezrah in custody. However, Ezrah was
keeping his mouth shut and didn''t give them any opportunity to get information out of him."
"Calvin had to rush over to interrogate Ezrah in person, especially if he wanted to avoid repeating what
happened to Yaris back then."
Time was of the essence.
"If Calvin was able to present something against Yadriel before the Harvey Group was convicted, then
Calvin might be able to turn the tables around, and at the same time, prove that Zoe was working
together with Sergio."
"The election had started that week, and Yadriel had been in the unbroken lead. The people loved him,
and everyone had nothing but positive remarks for him. There was nothing Calvin could do besides
finding evidence against him, and this was the perfect opportunity."
"Once Yadriel found out that someone else had Ezrah under control, Yadriel would definitelye up
with something for his counterattack."
Calvin could never allow Yadriel to notice this.
"He had to act fast, urately and ruthlessly, for the sake of the Harvey Group, as well as to serve
justice."
"Calvin, I''m worried about you, Belle said with a trembling voice. Her hand was trembling too. "
"Calvin''s smile faded away as he heard this. His expression was a little cold as he replied in a stern
tone, ""Belle, go back to sleep right now. You don''t have to overthink things. You can''t have me worried
about you at this time. Do you get what I mean?"""
"I... understand. Belle replied with a heavy heart as she said, ""Calvin, I''ll wait for your return. Please
stay safe."""
"Don''t worry. I''lle back as soon as possible, Calvin replied with a gentle and soft tone."
"Alright. I''ll be waiting for you, Belle said nkly before hanging up the phone. She sat on the couch in
a daze."
Belle couldn''t understand why she was so anxious at this time. She couldn''t put herself at ease no
matter what.
"For the rest of the night, Belle tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. She finally drifted off when
dawn broke."
The sun was already hanging high in the sky when she got up again. Belle freshened herself up as
Larry sent breakfast over to her bedroom.
"After having her breakfast in a daze, Belle headed to the office in the Ink Garden."
"Maud, can you tell me what''s going on? My room is stuffy and hot. It''s located in the west wing, and
everything in the room is antique. Are you trying to embarrass me and abuse me just because I''m
going to be the second wife? Liya''s high-pitched voice could be heard from inside the office."
Belle''s heart skipped a beat when she heard her voice. Belle frowned.
"Miss Liya, only the madams and the young madams can stay in the north wing of the Ink Garden. Now
that Madam Sophia is in a critical condition, the rooms over there have been fully upied. Therefore,
regardless of your identity, or the timing of your arrival, we can only arrange for you to stay in the guest
rooms of the west wing. The rooms in the Ink Garden are all identical. The room you''re staying in was
renovated and decorated during Old Master Harvey'' time. That''s why the things inside are ancient. If
you are dissatisfied with the room, then why don''t we arrange for you to go back to the Crystal Cove
Garden where you used to live? Maud replied. He was clearly not in the good mood either to have Liya
making such a fuss Tristany in the morning."
"Liya paused for a while before cing her luxury handbag on the table. She then sat on the chair,
which Belle normally sat in during work, and crossed her legs while smiling widely."
"Maud, if that''s the case, then I won''t make things difficult for you. I''ll just continue to stay in the room
then, Liya said as she touched her Tristanobe. She then smiled and said, ""How about this then, Maud?
I have to attend a party today. I was going to take care of Sophia today given her condition, but then
the party was scheduled earlier and I had no choice but to attend. You know, the media is now aware of
Sophia''s will, and everyone out there knows that I am the second wife of Mr. Harvey, as well as the
mistress of Harvey Manor. But then, look at me. I don''t look like it at all. I will only embarrass the
Harvey Group looking like this. Why don''t you help me look for some jewelry and essories? I''ll
return them to you once I return from the party,"" Liya said at a normal pace, as she took out her
cosmetic mirror and looked at it. She was not satisfied with how in she looked without all the luxury
essories."
"Upon hearing this, Maud finally understood her intentions. He forced a smile and said in a righteous
manner, ""Miss Liya, I''m sorry but we have our own rules in Harvey Manor. Our essories and
jewelry pieces are all registered by book. We have to register and keep records of all of them. None of
them should be utilized, unless it was for unique events or with the approval from the head of the
family. We can''t move those jewelry pieces from their original ces, let alone take them out. I wish I
could help you with this, but I can''t. I''m sorry."""
"Hearing this, Liya''s face fell as coldness masked her expression."
