Translator: 549690339
The moment the lights went out, Caleb Mamet breathed a sigh of relief and sat quietly on the sofa.
The surroundings were silent, and he was waiting for Xaviera Evans.
But after a long time, he did not hear Evansās footsteps.
Caleb lowered his eyes, a sense of loss emerging from the dimness.
Evansās words still echoed in his ears; to her, their marriage was merely an agreement, acting like a couple in front of others, but strangers when alone.
Caleb smirked, realizing he had been too sentimental. He was about to call Steve Price to restore the lights when he heard footstepsā¦
āCaleb, are you there?ā
Calebās heart jolted, and his phone slipped to the ground.
Everything was pitch black before his eyes, but he still looked towards the source of Evansās voice.
Evansās footsteps were somewhat disordered, her voice slightly trembling, āDonāt move, Iām coming.ā
The corner of the manās mouth twitched slightly.
If she really didnāt care about him, then from now on they would only be partners in their agreement.
But she still appearedā¦
She cared for him, so there was no escape for her.
Evans turned on the flashlight, saw Caleb sitting quietly on the sofa, and hurriedly walked over. āCaleb, youā¦ā
Caleb reached out to embrace her waist, pulling her into his arms.
He couldnāt see anything just now and accidentally knocked something over, not expecting Evans to actually come downstairs.
Evans was tightly held by him, their bodies pressed closely together.
Even if Caleb was blind, he could still embrace her.
āYou finally came.ā
Evans flushed and struggled to get away.
Caleb took a light breath, filled with endless joy, his voice deep, āEvans, since youāre here, thereās no escaping!ā
Then a cool, soft pair of lips attached, finding hers with the precision.
Evansās body tensed, both hands gripping his clothes tightly.
Thump thump!
Her heart was pounding violently.
When she had kissed Caleb before, it was to regain her sense of taste, so there was no emotional mix.
Yet this time the kiss made Evans lose herself, seemingly forgetting time. Taking advantage of a pause, Evans hastily spoke, āCaleb, donātā¦ā
Before she could finish, her voice vanished into the kiss, and her mind became dizzy.
āThis isā¦the living room. Letāsā¦go upstairs!ā
Caleb let go of her, hooked the corner of his lips, his voice gentle but seductive,
āMrs. Mamet, I canāt go back.ā
His hoarse voice sent shivers down Evansās spine, stuttering, āT-Thatās what Iām here for! Iāll take you back!ā
Caleb chuckled lightly.
In the darkness, Evansās cheeks were flushed, and even her ears had a faint pink color.
Evans carefully helped Caleb to the bedroom, covered him with the quilt, and then turned to leave.
Come night, he could see nothing; the poison might have already penetrated deep within him.
Moreover, Caleb had many enemies. If they found out, many would take advantage of the night to attack.
Although her grandfather couldnāt save Miss Drew at that time, over twenty years had passed. Perhaps now there was a way to detoxificate.
And Calebās poison was not as severe as Miss Drewās.
If acupuncture was administered to Caleb every day, perhaps the toxins could be expelled.
After that, it was up to fate.
As long as it was done before the poison took effect, there was still time.
Evans returned to her room to think about detoxification methods, while Caleb remained sleepless all night.
In the morning, Evans slowly opened her eyes, and after washing up, took her toolkit to find Caleb.
The manās gaze was clear, staring at the toolkit in her hands.
Evans cut straight to the chase, āCaleb, take off your clothes!ā Steve Price had just arrived at the door when he heard such an explosive statement.
Wow! Last night the President and the Mrs. had made rapid progress; they were already undressing early in the morning?
Caleb wore black pajamas, his hair slightly disheveled, yet he appeared even more handsome with an invisible aura of authority.
Evans opened the toolkit, revealing silver needles and various bottles and jars within. The man smirked, āTake off my clothes?ā
āMm-hmm, Iām going to give you acupuncture.ā
Evans looked up, meeting his thin lips, and suddenly her mind exploded, the lingering scene emerging before her eyes.
Calebās kisses were overwhelming, filled with possessiveness, disregarding any resistanceā¦
āMrs. Mamet.ā
After a few seconds of silence, Caleb said slowly, āYour eyes are full of ill intentions?ā
Wait, what did he mean by ill intentions?
Evans glared at him fiercely, meeting his gaze and understanding at once.
This dog of a man had the wrong idea!
But after that, the scene couldnāt be shrugged off, always appearing before
Evansās eyes..
