The next day, when Xaviera Evans woke up, she noticed how strangely quiet the house was, and then she suddenly remembered what happened – Mr. Caleb Mamet had sent all the servants away yesterday.

Caleb Mamet sat on the couch with his long legs crossed, casually browsing through some documents. Seeing Xaviera come down the stairs, he nodded towards the dining room, “Go have breakfast.”

Steve Price poked his head out of the kitchen, “Wife, you’re awake? Breakfast will be ready soon.”

Xaviera entered the dining room, pulled out a chair, and leaned on one hand while watching Steve busy in the kitchen, “Why are you cooking? No new servants?”

Steve wiped his hands, “Mr. Caleb Mamet said you should pick the servants, choose someone you like.”

Xaviera sighed, “Too much trouble. You guys just handle it.”

Caleb Mamet slammed the documents on the couch and said coldly, “Like it or not!”

He wanted to make Xaviera comfortable, but she was not appreciative!

Xaviera:

She quietly motioned to Steve, lowering her voice and asking, “Is your boss in a bad mood?”

Steve looked at her speechlessly, their boss was learning how to be nice to a woman for the first time, but this woman didn’t seem to care!

“Madam, if you’re not too busy, maybe you can consider picking a servant or two? It won’t take much of your time, I’ll call them over, and you can pick the ones you like.”

She couldn’t say no since he put it that way.

Seeing her nod, Steve breathed a silent sigh of relief.

At the dining table, Xaviera ignored Caleb Mamet’s cold air and sat down next to him.

Steve looked at one, then the other, feeling odd. He thought something was going on with these two, but now they seemed so distant!

It was impossible for Xaviera not to notice Caleb Mamet’s low mood.

Pressing her temples, she suddenly grabbed the back of Caleb Mamet’s neck and brought his face closer to hers.

“Mwah!”

She kissed him on the lips, softly coaxing, “Don’t be angry, holding in anger while eating will upset your stomach.”

Caleb Mamet:

Steve Price: “Pfft!”

Caleb Mamet glared at Steve and then pushed Xaviera away, “Who’s angry? Just eat your meal, and stop being handsy.”

Xaviera touched her lips and smiled obediently. One kiss not only calmed Caleb Mamet down but also got her a tasty breakfast. What a deal!

Upstairs study.

Steve chattered behind Caleb Mamet, “Boss, are you really the same person I know? You’re the one being pushed around! Wow, Madam’s so dominant at the dining table! Just one push, one pull, and she kissed you. Is this the happiness of a lawful marriage?!”

“And also, if your relationship with Madam is so good, why haven’t you been staying together? Did Madam kick you out of the room yesterday?” This morning’s scene was too shocking for Steve; he couldn’t get over it!

“Shut up! ”

Caleb Mamet was so annoyed.

Steve snickered, “Boss, are you shy? You must be, right?”

“Shy? What’s there to be shy about? That woman is always drooling over me; she’s not shy, so why would I be?”

“She’s drooling over you, probably because she likes you, right? Why else wouldn’t she drool over me?”

Steve’s words made Caleb Mamet stop in his tracks. He looked back at Steve, eyebrows slightly raised, “You’re saying she likes me?”

Steve nodded as if it was inevitable, “Yeah, that’s right.”

Glancing at Xaviera, who was sitting in the living room downstairs playing with her phone, Caleb Mamet whispered with a faint smile, “No wonder…”

No wonder she wanted kisses so often; it was because she liked him. This fact pleased Caleb Mamet greatly.

Right then, Steve’s phone beeped. He glanced at the incoming message, puzzled, “President, Madam had an accident before and lost her sense of taste. Everything she eats tastes bitter. But she seemed to have a normal breakfast earlier, right?”

“What did you say?”

Caleb Mamet’s eyes narrowed instantly.

Steve had no idea how he’d suddenly angered the boss; all he could do was hand him his phone, which showed the results of yesterday’s investigation.

Even though Caleb told him he didn’t need it, as his assistant, it was Steve’s responsibility to ensure Caleb’s safety.

After quickly scanning the message, Caleb Mamet’s expression turned dark as water.

‘What liking,’ it was all a lie!

If he remembered correctly, Xaviera had wanted to discuss divorce on the day they first met. However, she accidentally kissed his finger and tasted sweetness. Caleb still remembered Xaviera’s bright eyes, brighter than the stars in the night sky at that moment.

Someone who had always been only able to taste bitterness suddenly tasted sweetness from him, which led her to change her mind, no longer bring up divorce, and constantly wanting to kiss him, savoring that elusive sweetness!
