Chapter 85 Marrying Him
In the ornate and splendid living room of the Johnson family.
"Lexie, are you sure you must marry Calvin?" Tristan was holding a newspaper in his hand, his face unpleasant as he frowned and asked towards Lexie who was sitting on the sofa opposite.
"Dad, I love him, I must marry him." With red and swollen eyes, Lexie replied affirmatively, "Dad, I've wasted so many years of my heart and energy on him, I've loved him for so many years, why shouldn't I marry him? And dad, where else can I find such a good marriage partner from in A City?"
Lexie is full of aggression and resignation, in this life she must get Calvin, by any means necessary, otherwise she will not be able to die in peace.
Tristan shook his head, sighed and said, "Then take a good look at it yourself, and don't blame me for not reminding you." After saying that, he handed the newspaper in his hand to Lexie.
After taking the newspaper and reading it, Lexie said unconcernedly, "Dad, I already knew that, one after another these days, reporters have caught him staying with his ex-wife, but so what? He doesn't love her, he hates her, and they're already divorced."
"Lexie, how do you know that Calvin doesn't love Belle? Look at this photo, they are smiling, which one of your eyes can see that he doesn't love her?" Tristan's gaze was serious as he looked at his daughter's face, which was deeply in love, and he felt very painful in heart.
If Calvin really loved her daughter, would he be willing to let her suffer so much? Would he have been so reluctant to even marry her? There is only one explanation for a man to do this: either he is incompetent or he doesn't love the woman at all. Calvin was not incompetent, but he did not love Lexie. He, the onlooker, could see clearly, but his daughter was deep in it, obsessed.
Through the second conversation with Calvin, he had actually understood Calvin's intention, all those were just excuses, Calvin didn't really want to marry his daughter. He was the deputy mayor of A City, but Calvin wanted his daughter to marry him as a concubine, and his excuse was that his grandmother didn't agree their marriage, but Tristan didn't think so. Sophia could disagree, but it was Calvin who married his daughter. If he really loved her and wanted to marry her, he would have done everything he could, without even thinking about the old woman's wishes.
Calvin is smart and conceited, bold and daring, if he wants to do something, no one can make it difficult for him, but he is taking no action on his daughter's marriage, which makes Tristan even more furious.
In A City, with his title of deputy mayor, he is considered a big family, and Calvin is divorced. Her daughter is a famous girl, smart and beautiful, and is more than enough for him, but he is not very active and enthusiastic, and the woman was to propose first, urging him repeatedly, which makes Tristan embarrassed.
So that night he brought Lexie back with him.
He did this, first to give Lexie a chance to calm down, to let her know what Calvin really meant, to see if he could make her give up the marriage, or at least Calvin could come to propose the marriage himself. If Calvin really loves her, he will know what to do.
In fact, he did not really want his daughter to marry such a good man, which is not a very good thing for a woman, and secondly, he also wanted to probe Sophia to see if he could change her prejudice against Lexie.
A wise old woman would be willing to agree for he was the deputy mayor.
Besides, he was doing this for his daughter's good. After all, a daughter can't insisted in living in a man's house, it would only degrade herself, so he brought her back to see how Calvin would really react. But the result was disappointing. Not only did Calvin not take the initiative to visit his daughter, but instead he could see various intimate photos of him and his ex-wife on top of the newspaper every day, what exactly does this mean and what does he take her daughter for?
Therefore, he made up his mind to persuade Lexie to discourage the idea of marrying Calvin, his daughter did not need to please a man. They were respectable people, at least he had to regain this dignity, let Calvin take the initiative to find them, or cancel the marriage, how could his daughter go to him as a concubine?
"Dad, men are all such philanderers, didn't he also have a fling around him in the past? And it was that woman who pestered him, that woman is kind of pretty, he was a normal man who would naturally want to take advantage of her. He would come back to me one day. All these years, I personally saw that Calvin hated that woman, they were separated during their marriage." Lexie explained unconcernedly. "Lexie, can you be sure that Calvin really loves you?" Tristan mused, the refined light in his eyes shining brightly as he stared at Lexie and asked in a serious tone.
Lexie froze and raised her somewhat confused eyes to look at Tristan, after a long time, she said with certainty, "Before Belle had returned from America, I could be sure that Calvin had feelings for me." "And now what?" Tristan's voice was harsher.
"Now, now ...... I can't say, but aren't all men like that? They are fickle." Lexie stammered, not knowing how to answer, the light in her eyes was more anger and resentment.
"Ridiculous." Tristan said loudly, holding up his gold-rimmed glasses, almost bitterly, "Lexie, you really disappoint me, do you know what love is? You are about to marry him and you still don't know whether he loves you or not. You are the only daughter in our family, we have satisfied you with everything since you were a child, and have never let you suffer a single bit of grievance, yet you are determined to go ahead with this important matter in life even though you have suffered a lot of grievances. For women, self-respect is more important than anything else, let's put an end to this matter. What kind of family you want, I will mobilize my secretaries to start looking for you tomorrow, okay?"
It was as if Tristan had made up his mind and made a decision.
Lexie was ashamed, anxious and frightened when she first heard it, her eyes suddenly burst into tears, her hands tightening her clothes as she said tearfully, "Dad, I love Calvin, I fell in love with her a long time ago, I have to marry him. I have spent so many love and time on him, I don't want to give up, and he could only marry me, or I will not spare him. Dad, please, help me, now that things are close to working out, let me marry into the Harvey family, I must be his wife, and I must live in the Harvey Mansion, otherwise, Dad, I would rather die than marry again."
She was crying and sobbing.
"Nonsense." Tristan's eyes went black, a wave of grief and anger rushed straight to the top of his head and he almost fainted from anger. What made him feel even more painful was that he understood a cruel truth that his daughter loved Calvin deeply, but Calvin was obviously unattractive to his daughter, did not even love her, and only gave her the title of concubine to get rid of her. His only daughter wasted her youthful years on him, loving him with all her heart, yet he was indifferent.
"Tristan, don't blame Lexie, what's wrong with loving someone? My daughter is devoted to love, such feelings are rare and valuable, how dare Calvin look down on my daughter?" Jennifer came forward and put her arms around Lexie, wiping her tears.
The tears of this mother and daughter made Tristan's heart unusually irritated, and he stood up with a gloomy face and walked towards the balcony, his eyes narrowed.
Ever since Lexie came back, she has been restless and sad every day, and this evening she was even bawling her eyes out and looking for death.
But he held her down and wouldn't let her go to Calvin, he just wanted to see his true intentions, but the thing that scared him the most had finally arrived!
Calvin was so unmoved that he even fooled around with his ex-wife, completely ignoring his daughter.
What to do? He couldn't see his only daughter unhappy. As she said, she had loved Calvin for many years, and there was no way he could pull back his daughter's infatuation, could he just watch her suffer and lose weight like this?
Tristan's heart was heavy and he felt an unprecedented dilemma.
As the sun rises in the east, the large Harvey Mansion is busy.
The 90th birthday of Sophia kicked off. Although Sophia had repeatedly said that her birthday would only be spent with her relatives, paying respect to her ancestors and having a reunion meal, all the workers in the Harvey Mansion started to get busy.
The Harvey Mansion is in a prime location in A City. It is a large vintage garden in a modern city, with the Ink Garden as the centre, surrounded in turn from the east to the north. Ink Garden is surrounded by flower gardens and green trees in the middle, with thousand-year-old trees and all kinds of valuable flowers and trees all selected from all over the world. Some people once considered it a dream to visit the Harvey Mansion.
In the middle is a large clubhouse with a heated swimming pool, fitness equipment and various recreational facilities, which are exclusively for the enjoyment of the owners of the Harvey family. Sophia and two sons, Hudson and Evan, as well as two daughters. Evan's first wife did not produce any children and his second wife had Martin and Aleena Harvey, and Hudson only had one son, Calvin. Her two daughters had married and would often come home.
Therefore, Sophia's offspring are not very prosperous, she is desperate to have her grandchildren.
This is especially true for Calvin. She arranged a marriage for him, hoping that he would have children soon, but his marriage to Belle has already broken her heart.
Sophia dressed in a flashy old-fashioned birthday suit, sat in a chair, her eyes closed.
