Chapter 71: Pregnant?

With Jex's status, he never lacked women throwing themselves at him. To Bella and Fiona, Jessica's behavior seemed bold, but to Jex, it was nothing. He was used to women seeking relationships or hidden rules; the entertainment industry was full of women bolder and more alluring than Jessica.However, Jessica did show some potential for the entertainment industry. Despite Jex's playful rejection, she remained unfazed and even agreed, "That's right. I'm single because I refuse to settle. People say I'm picky because I'm pretty. It's laughable. If I have the means, why shouldn't I be choosy? Those who settle for less deserve the leftovers. If married life isn't better than being single, why get married? I won't settle for less!"Bella suddenly lost her appetite. Why be so harsh? Let her be picky if she wants. Why step on others to elevate herself? If no man on Earth is good enough for her, she might as well go back to Mars. Fiona chuckled, "Men are like computers; even top configurations

Chapter 72: Gossip Headlines

Bella is not pregnant.She felt downhearted after leaving the hospital. Previously, she hadn't given it much thought and didn't care about being pregnant or not. However, once the idea took root in her mind, everything changed. Seeing her gloomy expression, Calvin thought she was overreacting. They were still young, and a child would come eventually. What was there to worry about? Bella, on the other hand, was focused on having a healthy baby. The doctor had given her a lot of advice, which left her confused and with only a patchy recollection. She decided to ask Calvin to find a bookstore where they could get some books on pregnancy and childcare for reference.Calvin frowned as he tried to think of a bookstore. There didn't seem to be one on their usual routes, and he rarely visited bookstores himself. With no clear idea, he relied on navigation to find one. Meanwhile, Bella grumbled, saying they had only used protection once during their stay at the resort and had not taken any oth

Chapter 73: Cold War

People love to watch drama, and a few pieces of gossip quickly exploded on various forums, sparking widespread questioning and condemnation online. The comments under Bella’s article were filled with insults, as harsh as could be. Calvin and David became innocent victims, supposedly bewitched by a vixen; otherwise, how could an ordinary woman like Bella be worth two quality men fighting over her?Bella was on the verge of tears. What had she done to deserve this? How had this baseless rumor suddenly erupted? Calvin was clearly angry, sitting at his desk, staring at the computer screen in silence for a long time. Bella, with innocent eyes, looked at him like a timid employee awaiting her fate.Jex walked into the office and saw this scene. He hesitated before saying, "It's clear someone is behind this. If we suppress it, they'll just come out with more statements. The best way is to clarify your relationship publicly. These rumors will naturally fall apart."Calvin didn't need Jex to t

Chapter 74: Wild Imagination

Calvin couldn’t stay out forever, and as expected, he was met with Bella’s angry face as soon as he walked in the door. He almost wanted to turn around and leave but held back. Bella glanced at the clock on the wall; it was just a few minutes before midnight. It was rare for him to still remember to come home! Since he loved his work so much, he might as well get a dormitory and save himself the trouble of commuting.Calvin didn’t say a word to her, and she only glanced at him before ignoring him. She had called him multiple times in the morning without any response. Was he not afraid she might have an emergency? Since he clearly refused to communicate, she had no interest in trying to bridge the gap. They had lived in mutual silence before for three years and could do it again now!Bella sat in the living room watching TV for a while before getting up to go to the bedroom. Her movement paused at the door, and she considered whether to sleep in the guest room to avoid getting angry ev

Chapter 75: Running Away from Home

Fiona yawned, watching Bella pace anxiously in the conference room. Was it really necessary to be so worked up over seeing Calvin leave the company with a beautiful woman? It wasn’t like she caught them in bed together. Fiona’s mind wandered to what Calvin might look like in bed and quickly dismissed the thought. “What do you think he means by this?” Bella was on the verge of a breakdown. Why couldn’t Calvin just give her a straightforward explanation?Fiona lazily replied, “Like I said, Selina is starring in one of our company’s movies. It was hard to get her on board, so Calvin was just hosting her.” Fiona had already explained this multiple times when Bella first stormed in. Did Bella really need Fiona to say that Calvin and Selina were having an affair for her to believe it?“Isn’t Jex usually the one handling such matters? Fiona, did Calvin bribe you to defend him?” Bella hadn’t forgotten about the cucumber incident either.“Cross my heart, I haven’t been bought off with petty f

Chapter 76: Suspicion

Jex was right; he had easier access to Calvin's office than Fiona did. Relying solely on Fiona's information would leave Bella sitting idly in the café, only able to spy on Calvin during lunch breaks and after work. If Calvin went out, Fiona might not be able to inform Bella immediately, but Jex could.The elevator stopped on the 26th floor. Jex pulled out his phone, made a call, and walked into Calvin's office as if he owned the place. Unfortunately, Angela was in the middle of a report. Jex casually pulled up a chair to listen, pretending to play a game on his phone to ensure the person on the other end could hear everything clearly.Calvin couldn’t find out from Fiona which tour group Bella had joined for her trip to Lijiang, so he had to start by checking flight records. Given the circumstances, her departure was clearly impulsive. She had turned off her phone, making her unreachable if something happened. The incident Jex mentioned about disfigurement in Lijiang was an isolated c

Chapter 77: Cornered

Calvin arranged for someone to secretly monitor Fiona, but the results were disappointing. The person he sent returned the next day to report that Fiona had dinner with Jex last night and then went straight home. He waited outside her place until midnight but saw no activity before leaving. Hearing this, Calvin frowned in thought. Fiona was likely involved in Bella's so-called travel plans. If Bella hadn't actually traveled, she must have contacted Fiona. But they hadn't met? If they hadn't met, could it be that they had communicated by phone? “Did she make any phone calls?”“Uh... I didn't notice. I didn't dare get too close, so I wouldn't know if she did.” In fact, he had only followed from a distance and didn’t dare approach. After thinking for a moment, he added, “Fiona left work with Mr. Jex, and they picked someone up at the café downstairs before going to dinner…”Calvin interrupted him, “Picked someone up? Who? Did you recognize them?” Jex and Fiona didn’t have much interactio

Chapter 78: The Ultimate Stunt

Calvin had been going out a lot more these past few days, hoping to lure Bella out, but there was no sign of her for two days. He guessed she was unlikely to go back to the café, but he still went a few times out of a desperate hope, and unsurprisingly, came up empty-handed. The situation had reached a stalemate: as long as she didn't come home, he couldn't be at ease. He needed to come up with a solution. Jex and Fiona consistently denied knowing Bella's whereabouts, but from their attitude, it seemed like Bella was doing well, at least better than being out there alone. Even so, Calvin couldn't wait any longer and called Jex over. Today, he had to resolve this matter! Jex arrived quickly and, seeing Calvin's grim face, reveled in his misfortune. "What? Missing your little fairy and looking for a companion to go wild? I'm a decent guy; I don't go to places like that." Calvin didn't want to banter with him and got straight to the point. "Where's Bella?" Jex chuckled. "Didn't she t

Chapter 79: Acting

Calvin felt he had never slept so well before. Despite the pain in his hand, the injury was insignificant compared to the favorable situation at hand. Bella, however, was not in as good spirits. She had stayed up all night watching over him and finally fell asleep at the edge of the bed at dawn, only to be woken up shortly after by the sound of the doctor making rounds. Calvin now had to act like a resolute and disabled man who was blind and injured. Although he felt a bit sorry for Bella, he had to pretend not to notice her fatigue and worry.Dr. Jason, just like last night, flipped through the medical records and asked some basic questions: How was the wound feeling? Did he still feel dizzy? Could he see yet? Bella listened intently, especially tense when it came to questions about his eyes. Calvin leaned against the headboard, rubbing his brow, and answered in an extremely weary voice, "I can't see."His fatigued and anxious appearance made Dr. Jason look at him for a few seconds b

Chapter 80: I'll Help You

"During an interview, Selina expressed her admiration and respect for you. Are you two really not involved?" A star of Selina's caliber was very skilled at handling questions, and her response was flawless. But admiration and respect, in plain language, meant she had a strong liking for him and was open to a relationship that could lead to marriage.Calvin smiled and said it was just work. This jealous tone was the reaction she should have had. Thinking about the curly-haired woman at the press conference, he asked, "Did you twist your ankle at the press conference?" He wasn't entirely sure it was her; otherwise, he would have burst into the restroom at the café.She nodded, then curiously asked, "How did you recognize me?""I didn't recognize you," he sighed. "It was Jex's particular attention to you that caught my notice." He paused. "I had someone secretly follow Fiona and learned that Jex and she met a curly-haired woman at the café, so I went back there."Bella didn't know what t
