Translator: 549690339
âHow do I coax a man?â
Only Mortimer would answer her strange questions without asking why.
Caleb Mamet was standing outside the door, stabilizing his emotions with a cigarette when his phone vibrated. He took a glance at it and saw a message from Black Tide. His first thought was: was he mistaken for a relationship counselor?
He lowered his head to text, âJust soothe him with sweet words and a little charm â men are the easiest beings to appease in the world.â
Xaviera Evans: â
I think youâre tricking me.
At the same time, another message from Caleb came in.
âCan you do me a favor? Tell me how to suppress a woman.â
The message seemed to be an impromptu idea from Caleb.
Xaviera replied casually, âWhat sort of suppression are you talking about?â
Caleb: ââŠOn a psychological level!â
Xaviera grumbled as she typed hastily: âDude, youâre really not up to it, canât even suppress a woman, weakling?â
Dammit!
Caleb was so angry that he wanted to throw his phone away!
âThen you canât even coax a man, what kind of woman are you? Boyish!â
Xaviera chuckled lightly, who said she couldnât coax a man?
She put the phone in her pocket and strode out of the shop.
Outside the door, Caleb stared at the unanswered WhatsApp message, questioning if he had been too harshâŠ
Just then, he heard footsteps approaching from behind, and before he knew it,
his arm was tugged forcefully.
Xaviera pressed him against a pillar and kissed him without hesitation!
When their lips parted, Xaviera panted a little.
Resting her chin on Calebâs shoulder, she cooed seductively into his ear, âDonât be angry, ok? I was wrong earlier. I was naive and foolish. I didnât know what I was doing.â
Caleb:
Xaviera took a peek at the âhow-to-wooâ guide she had just looked up.
First step: No matter what, give a kiss first!
Second step: Shopping spree!
So, before Caleb could return to his senses, Xaviera grabbed his wrist, got in the car, and headed straight for the largest mall around. She exclaimed generously, âGo ahead, get whatever you fancy. I will pay.â
The shop assistants couldnât help but steal glances at them.
Calebâs face darkened instantly, he gnashed his teeth and demanded, âXaviera, what on earth are you trying to do!â
After an unexplained kiss, they came to the mall and she was saying inexplicable things, causing misunderstandings. Is she humiliating him?
âBuying you something.â
Seeing Calebâs displeased expression, Xaviera pondered for a bit, âYou donât like this mall? Should we change to another?â
Caleb: !
Likes his ass! This is his mall, with vast amounts of money flowing in every day, how could he not like it! âStop creating a scene here, go home! Go home right away!â
At the Lowen Clubhouse.
After dropping Xaviera at the entrance, Caleb dashed away without delay.
Xaviera watched as his car drove off, her lips tightening into a thin line. She then let out a long sigh. She admitted, it was really hard to soothe a man!
She hung her head low as she entered the villa. Before she could even change her shoes, she heard discordant voices.
âMadam? Sheâs just a temptress who we donât know how she hooked up with Mr. Mamet.â
âDid you all see it too? That woman is quite loose. She can blatantly seduce Mr.
Mamet in a restaurant, even kissed him? Yuck! Itâs disgusting!â
âEveryone knows that Mr. Mamet was engaged to the Coriell family before. Only Miss Coriell can be called Madam. As for the current one, sheâll probably be chased out soon. Just between us, Mr. Mamet doesnât even share a room with her!â
âStop talking, that woman is back.â
The maids turned to look at Xaviera.
Xaviera walked in as if she hadnât heard anything. The maids, displeased with her attitude, came forward to corner her with disdainful expressions and haughty attitudes.
The leading maid scoffed coldly, âMiss Evans, right? I heard youâre from the countryside? No wonder you are so rustic. How do you, as you are, deserve to be by Mr. Mametâs side? I advise you to leave as soon as possible. Only a woman like Miss Coriell deserves to be our hostess.â
Xaviera halted, her clear eyes filled with puzzlement, âWho owns this villa, you or Caleb?â
âNonsense, of course, itâs Mr. Mamet! â
âOh.â
Xaviera nodded, âIf you hadnât said the owner of this villa is Caleb, I would have thought it was you. Youâve even managed to decide who the hostess of this villa should be. What a great show of authority.â
The maidâs eyes widened in shock, âWhat are you talking about!â
When had she decided who should be the hostess of this villa?
âDidnât you say it? Only a woman like Miss Coriell deserves to be your hostess?â
â1âŠâ
The maid couldnât control her rising voice, âI just said that compared to you, Miss Coriell is more suitable to be our Madam!â
