Chapter 287 Who Is the Child’s Father?
Belle took Rhys directly to Ink Garden.
There were two old banyan trees at the gate of Ink Garden. The branches and leaves were lush, and
the branches were hanging down. Even in winter, it looked solemn.
The houses in Ink Garden were simple and quaint. Although it was already bright, the lights were still
on. Standing under the banyan tree, she could see the lights in the office across the garden.
Belle walked towards the office.
"Rhys, go to the reception room first. It has already been arranged and there are guest rooms." When
Belle was about to get to the office, she took him to a villa next to Ink Garden, where was specially
used to receive guests at that time when Dexter was alive. It had already been cleaned up and neat. It
was originally antique, but due to the needs of the trend, Hudson had already renovated it. The interior
decoration was already very modern.
Belle led Rhys into a senior suite, handed him the key, and introduced the situation in the house before
she went out.
"Belle, you're finally here." Rosa was very excited when she saw Belle. Her face was red and her smile
was so bright.
"Thank you for your hard work, Rosa." Belle smiled faintly, walked to her desk and sat down.
Rosa sat down at the desk, put her elbows on the desk, held her face, and looked at Belle with her
head tilted. She looked so mysterious.
"What are you looking at?" Belle looked up at her puzzled.
"Belle, I heard that you are pregnant. Is this true?" Suddenly, she asked mysteriously in a low voice.
What! Belle was startled, and stopped pulling the drawer. She looked around, and asked seriously,
"Rosa, who told you this?"
"Yes or no?" Rosa suddenly became a little angry, "You even didn’t tell me about such a big thing! You
didn’t treat me as the best friends."
Belle felt upset. Only Calvin knew about her pregnancy. Did he tell Rosa? Could a man be so gossipy?
"Tell me first, how did you know?" Belle asked seriously.
"I overheard." Seeing Belle was nervous and serious, Rosa had to tell the truth.
"Who said that?"
"That pesky Hanna." Rosa said disdainfully.
How did Hanna know? Belle was a little overwhelmed with shock. Could it be that Calvin told them?
"The other day I finished my business here. When I walked outside, I heard two very small voices when
I reached a corner in the corridor. I listened carefully and it was Hanna and Demi. Their voices were
very small. It seemed like they were talking about something like the ocean. At first I thought they were
talking about travel, but when I was about to leave, I heard Hanna say that woman was also pregnant
and this thing needed to be done quickly. I was stunned. I was thinking about who that woman was. I
heard Demi asked in surprise whether it was Mrs. Harvey. Hanna nodded immediately and said yes. I
felt uneasy and confused. I was about to call to ask you, but then I thought you would tell me if you get
pregnant, so I stopped. Then I asked you when I saw you today." Rosa said.
Hearing it, Belle was dripping with sweat. She sat blankly in a trance.
"Belle, what's the matter with you? Tell me, are you really pregnant? Is it Calvin's child?" Rosa was a
little excited. She looked at Belle with a little worry, and was startled.
Belle was lost in thought. It seemed that some things made senses.
Demi must have been bribed by Lexie. The reason why Hanna was able to play with Demi was
because of Lexie.
What they said about ocean must be referring to Heart of the Ocean. Others didn’t know the treasure,
but Belle knew it clearly. The look in her eyes became colder and colder.
Now she understood why Rosa said that a thief entered Grandma's room that night. It must be for
Heart of the Ocean. Who wanted to get this treasure?
Lexie was the most suspicious, otherwise Hanna wouldn’t have known all this.
Heart of the Ocean was the treasure of the Harvey family. Why did Grandma give it to her? Belle
figured it out now. On the surface, it was the love triangle between her, Calvin and Lexie, but in fact it
was the two forces which were fighting against each other. Grandma had already seen everything
clearly and knew the outcome of today. She didn't want the treasure to fall into the hands of people with Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
ulterior motives, so she gave it to her very early.
Grandma asked her to protect it.
The child in her belly was Calvin's, and was also the descendant of the Harvey family. After Grandma
gave Heart of the Ocean to her, even if she would leave Harvey Mansion in the future, this treasure
would still be left to the descendants of the Harvey family. Grandma never thought that Belle would
have a child. It seemed that she didn’t see any hope in Harvey Mansion, or it was because Martin
framed her father that Grandma felt ashamed and made up for her.
But what Belle was sure was that Grandma really felt disappointed. Now, Belle had the descendants of
the Harvey family in her belly. She would never let anyone know that the treasure was in her hands.
Grandma's move was so smart.
"Rosa, let me ask you, how many people know about my pregnancy?" She pulled Rosa aside and
asked in a low voice.
"There shouldn't be many people. I just overheard it." Rosa shook her head and said.
"Then Grandma, Madam and the others don't know?" Belle muttered to herself and asked.
"I don't know. Everyone in the mansion is now all discussing the New Year's dinner party and the
upcoming wedding of Calvin and Lexie. So no one has heard about your pregnancy." Rosa shook her
head again and answered affirmatively. After that, she asked very nervously, "Belle, are you really
pregnant?"
Belle was finally relieved. She held Rosa's hand and said seriously, "Rosa, I'm pregnant, but you can't
tell anyone, including Martin. Can you promise me?"
"Really?" Rosa's eyes lit up immediately. She shook Belle's hand excitedly and said, "Belle, you are
finally pregnant with Calvin's child! Then he doesn't have to marry that annoying Lexie."
Rosa was overjoyed. In her eyes, as long as Belle was pregnant with Calvin's child, she would be able
to stop all these ongoing conspiracies. Belle felt so helpless. Rosa was too naïve.
At the moment, Belle just smiled, shook her head, and said seriously, "Rosa, the child in my belly is
nothing. It will not change anything. I can't let anyone know now, understand?"
"Does Calvin know it? I'll go to him and tell him not to marry Lexie. Calvin can do it! He is so capable."
Rosa was about to run out after saying that.
"Rosa, come back." Belle grabbed her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She said very seriously,
"Rosa, Calvin already knows about this, so there is no need to tell him. This child is not his and it has
nothing to do with him." Belle said it through gritted teeth.
"What? The child isn’t Calvin’s?" Rosa was confused by Belle's words. She was so surprised that she
couldn't close her mouth.
Belle felt extremely sad, and said, "Rosa, you don't understand it. You don't need to understand it.
There are many things that I can't explain to you clearly. All in all, just pretend that nothing happened.
Okay?"
After speaking, Belle sighed, held Rosa’s hand tightly, shook it, and begged.
"Then tell me, who is the child’s father?" After a long time, Rosa, who came to her senses, asked in
surprise, and said in disbelief, "Impossible! It must be Calvin’s. It must be Lexie who used some
conspiracies to make Calvin dump you. That woman is too vicious."
Belle's heart tightened when she heard this.
"Rosa, don't ask about it. It's my personal business. You can just pretend that nothing happened."
At this time, Belle looked so serious that there was no smile on her face. Her tone was very solemn,
"Rosa, everyone has their own private affairs. I also have my own life. Calvin knew that I was pregnant
and did not tell anyone, which is enough to show that I can't tell anyone about my pregnancy. I really
hope you can keep the secret for me, if you still treat me as a good friend."
After a long time, Rosa was finally woken up, nodded frustratedly, and said unwillingly, "Okay, the
matter between you guys is too complicated. I won’t ask anymore."
"That's right." Belle breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Silly girl, there is no love for no reason in the
world, and there is no hate for no reason. Some things should not be taken too seriously."
"But, Belle, do you have any plans?" Rosa still put herself in Belle’s shoes and thought of her plight.
After all, Calvin was going to marry Lexie. Belle couldn't live in Harvey Mansion, even if she had the
right to inherit Harvey Mansion. Lexie wouldn’t tolerate her in this family. It would be okay if Belle didn’t
get pregnant. Now, she had a child. If it was another man's child, it was even more impossible for her to
stay here.
"Don't worry. I have my own plans." Belle smiled, feeling very moved by Rosa's concern. She patted
her hand.
"Well." Rosa lowered her head silently.
At this time, many staffs came over one after another, holding account book, receipts and the like.
Because Grandma let Belle be charge of the family. Many account books and reimbursement vouchers
must be signed by Belle. These days, they just wrote IOUs.
Belle quickly immersed herself in the work. After all, her time here was short. She had to strive for
every second to do her job well.
Antonio from Ink Garden came over with a reimbursement voucher. It was Calvin's expenses on it.
Belle took a look at it and saw that it was a receipt with over ten thousands, which made her a little
confused. Logically speaking, Calvin wouldn't only ask such a little money. How could he ask the
money from Ink Garden?
