Calvin frowned.
“I am very much afraid that one day you will despise me. After all, the distance between us is too great and our identities are different. You make me start to feel inferior. I’m a little confused.”
Calvin sighed, he reached out and scratched my nose, “So if I tell you that I don’t want you to work because I’m afraid you’ll fall in love with others and not want me. Would you feel good in your heart? ?”
I couldn’t help but laugh and then shook my head, “You’re so popular with women, and you have all kinds of women you want, so please don’t say that to comfort me!”
“I mean it!” Calvin stroked my cheek and asked me to look at him. “I have no experience in relationships, and I don’t know how to make women happy. I’m really scared that one day you won’t love me anymore.”
I lowered my head, “Then you said what should we do if we both distrust each other so much?”
“From now on, no matter what, we can’t fight anymore, we have to trust each other!” said Calvin seriously.
I don’t mean to be like this, but some things are always easier said than done, especially feelings. Once you start to care, it’s easy to get hurt.
“Okay, will you come back with me?” said Calvin softly.
“OK!” In fact, I missed him a lot shortly after coming out.
I actually wanted to go back to the apartment building, but Calvin cordially invited me to come along. Although it was a bit weird, I still called Anni and told her I wasn’t going back.
However, shortly after I arrived home, I just entered the room, and I felt cold on my body – the clothes were off.
“Hey, why, I haven’t even showered yet!” I saw Calvin jump over, and quickly reached out to ward him off, calling out worriedly.
“Never mind, you still have to wash it later!” Calvin had been impatient for a long time. God knows how much he’d had to endure these days.
“No, I want to wash.” Though I tried my best to resist…
In the end, I couldn’t remember when I had fallen asleep. In my confusion, I felt Calvin hug me and shower me.
I slept very contentedly, and when I woke up, it was already the next morning.
I washed my face, changed, and came outside where I found Calvin leaning against the door waiting for me. When he wasn’t at work, he dressed casually at home, but he was still very handsome.
“Are you hungry? Eat something first.” Calvin led me down the stairs.
“I have something to tell you.” I reminded myself Kevin Smith, grabbed two slices of bread and milk, and dragged Calvin out the door.
The sun is already a little hot after eight o’clock, but the gazebo in the villa’s garden is very cool and comfortable.
“What’s wrong?” Calvin asked.
“Kevin Smith came to me.” I held the bread in my hand, but I wasn’t in the mood to eat it. I kept thinking about the meaning of what Kevin Smith said.
“I know.” Calvin was quiet.
“Then you know what he said to me?” I know the bodyguard will definitely report Kevin Smith, but I don’t think Calvin can remember our conversation.
“What did he say?” Calvin made me sit down, his face was still calm.
Actually, Calvin also wanted to find an opportunity to ask, he didn’t expect me to take the initiative to bring it up.
I frowned, trying to think of what to say.
“Did he tell you he was our family’s Orthodox heir?” Calvin saw my pinched face and took the initiative to speak.
“How do you know?” I was surprised.
“Guess!” Calvin’s tone was flat, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
“Can you guess that too?” I was even more shocked.
Calvin was speechless, “Stupid! Of course I have my way!”
I let myself fall back, shaking my head and nodding again.
“What? What else did he say?” Calvin was confused when Kevin Smith told me about it, and couldn’t figure out what he was getting at for a while.
I gradually told Calvin what Kevin Smith had told me that day.
Calvin’s face was always calm, but his eyes betrayed the fluctuations in his heart.
“Calvin, why did he tell me that?” I propped my chin on my face and asked, “Does he want me to tell you?”
“Calvin, are you hiding something from me?”, I replied.
“What do you want me to hide from you?” it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
I glared at Calvin, but Calvin’s reaction is still so calm, all I can do is give up.
“Okay, don’t think about it so much. I’ll take care of Kevin Smith. Is that enough for you?” Calvin changed the subject and saw me eating a bread, so he thoughtfully took milk for her.
“Well, that’s enough, I don’t have much appetite to eat these days.” I replied.
I ate only a piece of bread and a bottle of milk.
“Are you not eating enough?” Calvin was a little puzzled. With the appetite, he knew it would never be done with just a slice of bread.
“I’m losing weight!” I casually found a reason. I also feel like I have a weird appetite lately, and I’ll be hungry anytime. I have a feeling of disgust watching everything these days.
Calvin reached out and put his hand in my face, “I don’t like it when you’re too skinny!”
I gave him an eye roll. I don’t want to discuss this with Calvin in broad daylight. I get up and leave.
“Where to?” asked Calvin, taking my hand.
“To go to the apartment building and get the stuff back.” I looked at the clock and it was less than nine o’clock.
“Wait later!” Calvin refused.
“How?” I asked.
Calvin stared me in the eye and said in a low voice, “Your father will be here soon.”
Hearing that, I felt like I had entered the wolf’s den, “What is he doing?”
“I don’t know, he should be here soon.” Calvin stood up, he patted me on the shoulder, “Let’s go.”
I angrily broke away from Calvin’s hand, “I don’t want to see him!”
Seeing my insistence, Calvin didn’t push but said, “Then you go upstairs first and I’ll deal with him.”
I nodded!
Ten minutes later, Philip Brown drove to the mansion in a Volkswagen. The housekeeper led him to where the car was parked. When he got out, he saw Calvin’s row of luxury cars, and he was shocked and could hardly move his eyes.
“Mr. Brown, please, Mr. Smith is waiting for you in the living room,” the housekeeper said politely.
Philip Brown reluctantly withdrew his eyes and walked behind him, gazing all the way at this magnificent mansion. Philip Brown’s eyes kept lighting up, and his mood was full of excitement, as if all this would soon be his . .
The housekeeper led Philip Brown into the main hall of the mansion as Bonder walked over, “Mr. Brown, Mr. Smith has a conference call, please wait a moment.”
Philip Brown, who thought he was Calvin’s father-in-law, walked around the living room with his head held high, looking at the mansion’s furnishings.
Philip Brown’s pov
Golly! The Smith family is really rich! Alexia, that damn girl, she must have hated me for neglecting her before, that’s why she kept lying to me about not having any money. Look, look, look, she lives in such a luxurious mansion, drives in and out of luxury cars and wears a famous brand. I will never give up!
Philip Brown sat on the sofa in the living room with a greedy face.
Alexia’s POV
Bonder and Housekeeper exchanged glances and shook their heads. They too knew something about Philip Brown. Ever since he met me at the last reception, he announced that he was Calvin’s son-in-law . But they all know Philip Brown is not a good character and will abandon his wife and daughter.
“Mr. Brown, Mr. Smith asks to see you in the study.” Bonder answers the phone and turns to Philip Brown.
Bonder had a good relationship with Eric Johnson and, of course, heard about Philip Brown’s actions from Eric Johnson, so he didn’t have a good feeling about Philip Brown.
Philip Bonder’s pov,
Hmph, what’s wrong with Calvin, he knows I’m here, but he still holds a conference call, makes me wait so long without showing up, and makes me go to the study to see him in person!
“Mr. Smith is really busy!” Philip Brown’s expression was a little uncomfortable. He felt like Calvin’s father-in-law, so he wasn’t very polite when talking to Bonder.
Bonder gave Philip Brown a cold look. “Of course, Mr. Smith was always very busy. He took time out to see you today, and has already pushed several pieces of business.”
Philip Brown was very much annoyed when Bonder said that he was not easily refuted, so he could only bear it. He secretly decided that he would have to fire this watchdog if he succeeded!
“Mr. Smith, Mr. Brown is here.” Bonder knocked on the study door.
Inside the study I whispered, “I’m telling you, no matter what he says, you can’t promise him anything, I don’t like him!”
Calvin nodded and tickled my nose affectionately, “I see.”
“I don’t have a father like that!” I said angrily. He also suggested having Abby Willams “watch” Calvin together, which is really absurd.
“Okay!” Calvin nodded. He supportsme, of course. He actually doesn’t like that kind of person.
I was in a bad mood. I hadn’t expected my father to be that kind of person. The good things in the past were just fake.
“Then you won’t help him?” Calvin patted me on the head and asked gently.
“If you give him the money now, he’ll either use it to buy drugs, or give it Gloria Williams and Abby Williams, and once he’s contaminated with drugs, there’s no way to help him.” I whispered. “Okay, I see what you mean, you go in first and I’ll take care of him.” Calvin touched me on the cheek affectionately and beckoned me to go into the lounge behind the bookcase.
