Chapter 785 Keeping A Distance


    Belle and Steffan were both stunned!


    "There, there, Mr. Tangger. Tell us what we can do for you. Even if we can''t help you, at least we can


    listen to your troubles." Belle knelt down and tried tofort him.


    "You two, it''s okay." After a while, Zevulon dried his tears, stood up, and staggered towards the


    bedroom.


    "I''m going to have a rest. Both of you can go back home."


    When he just walked towards the bedroom, he held the door frame, turned back, and huped as he


    said, "Oh, by the way, don''t worry. I will have Melvine to yourpany to work with you. If the car


    designed by Melvin and Dory is truly a perfectbination, then it will truly benefit thepany. Such


    an opportunity can''t be missed."


    After saying this, Zevulon continued wobbling forward. He was only a few steps in when he flopped


    himself on the bed andy still.


    When Belle and Steffan walked in, he was already snoring.


    Steffan shook his head with disapproval. After cleaning him up with warm water, he covered him with a


    quilt. He then turned off the lights and walked out.


    In fact, Zevulon had led a tough life all these years. ording to Steffan''s memories, Zevulon had


    always been a loner, with not a woman in sight throughout his whole life. But that day on Melvin''s


    birthday, he had seen a brand new Zevulon Tangger. He had thought that things would change, but


    then it seemed that it was not the case.


    When they came out of Zevulon''s residence, it was alreadyte in the evening. He and Belle habitually


    came to the river to take a walk.


    The two of them walked side by side, the chilly evening breeze blowing in their faces.


    After a while, he asked in a seemingly casual way, "Dory, you''ve known the truth about your own


    identity, haven''t you?"


    Calvin and Belle were not ordinary people. As long as they looked into Belle''s background on the


    Inte, they could easily find out. This was an undeniable fact. Of course, he didn''t want to hide


    anything from her. In reality, when he had gone to the office that day, he already saw her researching


    on herputer.


    Speaking of this, Belle''s mood became heavy. Calvin''s face shed in front of her, and her heart


    inexplicably wrenched.


    "Indeed, Calvin''s wife seemed to be an exact mold as me. I don''t think this matter is false," Belle


    replied, nodding. The light in her eyes was glistening. She already admitted to the fact that she was his


    wife.


    Steffan''s heart capsized. He looked back at her and smiled. "Aren''t you surprised? Your husband


    turned out to be such an excellent person. Are you delighted?"


    Belle''s eyes were deep as she gazed at the stillness of the river.


    A thinyer of ice was slowly forming on the surface of the water. The water seemed to be reflecting a


    cold frosty light. Belle looked at the light reflection, shivering from the coldness.


    She had fallen off the cliff like a nightmare on a dark night. It was a bottomless pit beneath her. She felt


    dizzy and could only feel the terrifying coldness. The coldness engulfed her blood and seeped through


    her bones. It was something she would never forget. Just reminiscing about it would make her feel cold


    and afraid.


    Why did she have this kind of feeling? She reasoned that it was because she had fallen into the water


    before.


    "My past is a nk te. Even if I acknowledge that he is my husband, I still want to know about my


    past life. Mr. Tangger is right, marriage is not a trifling matter." Belle thought for a while, but deep down


    she was extremely troubled.


    When she did her research, she was able to obtain the basic information about her and Calvin. Life


    after marriage was iprehensible. These introductions were just basic personal information. The


    positive things might be recorded in it, but the bad sides were never exposed. She decided to calm


    down before making any rash decisions.


    Where was the child?


    This was the real reason there was an empty feeling inside her heart. Without including the child in her


    belly when she had fallen into the water, it was also noted on the inte that she and Calvin still had


    another child.


    "Belle, you can''t be sloppy in your lifetime. I will respect any choice you make, to pursue the right


    choice that your heart tells you to." After a moment of silence, Steffan said rationally, and then smiled


    quietly, "Of course, I have neverined about you. I like your character and your talent. If you can


    give me a chance, then I will cherish you more."


    N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    In the past two days, he had sent some people to look through some old newspapers about A City. He


    read about Calvin''s and Belle''s past life carefully. From some promiscuous news, it seemed that the


    title of ''Mrs. Harvey'' was not easily epted. Just a little more than a year after their wedding, the


    rumor about Calvin allegedly marrying his mistress hade out. In addition to the ident that had


    happened in Harvey Manor, such rumors were not necessarily favorable towards a woman''s reputation.


    Although he loved Belle and was moved by her talent, he looked at the issue from her perspective and


    supported her to make her own decision after she figured everything out. He would not stop her, no


    matter what choice she made. However, if Calvin just wanted to take her away, out of fame and to


    protect his reputation, then Steffan would not leave her alone.


    "Steffan, thank you." Steffan''s words sounded more like a big brother''s care towards his little sister.


    Belle was moved and spoke with a smile.


    Steffan smiled and said, "Don''t mention it. I also have my own selfish motives. I have said before that it


    is rare for me to fall in love with a woman throughout my life. Mr. Tangger said that true love is very


    valuable. If you meet one, you should cherish them. I will give you a chance, and at the same time, also


    give myself a chance."


    Steffan said these words whileughing. It seemed that he was teasing her, but at the same time, his


    words also had a deep meaning. Belle nced at him with a heavy mood. She understood that Steffan


    was being serious. If she really was Calvin''s wife, then it meant that she was a married woman byw,


    and she should not be giving Steffan any hope.


    They should keep a distance from each other.


    If she kept up with this attitude, giving him mixed signals, then this would take a toll on Steffan in the


    long run, which would add to her guilt.


    It was a good thing that he had saved her. If she became his enemy just because she floundered when


    dealing with her rtionship issues, and if he could not even be her friend, then it would be a great pity.


    "Dory, let''s go to a cafe and sit down. It''s too cold." He proposed with concern when he observed that


    Belle''s face was turning pale and her body seemed to be trembling.


    Belle assumed that he still had some things to say to her, and it was not something that could be


    clearly exined in a few words, so she simply nodded and agreed.
