The butler looked at Caleb Mametâs frowning brow and cautiously said, âMr. Mamet, Iâll have them leave.â
âWait a moment.â
Caleb stopped him, his cold smile sent a chill: âI have something to ask Mr.
Lindsey, so that I donât have to look for him later.â
As Xaviera Evans heard his words, she felt chills down her spine. This guy Jake was in big trouble!
Jake Lindsey and Zara Woods sat on the sofa, like they were the owners of the house, all smiles.
âJake, donât say that. If Xaviera hears it, sheâll be unhappy.â
As she spoke, Zara raised her eyes and saw Xaviera at the door, exclaiming,
âXaviera? Youâre back!â
Jake looked up with displeasure, his eyes full of disgust.
Zara hurriedly stood up, looking flustered: âXaviera, Jake was just joking. You mustnât take it to heart. Iâve only ever regarded Caleb as a friend.â
âIs what I said wrong? You and Caleb are childhood friends. When you were kids, you even slept in the same bed. He even said that he would marry you when he grew up. Have you forgotten all about that?â Jake said earnestly.
Zara Woods hung her head shyly and quickly explained, âXaviera, itâs true that Caleb said he would marry me when we were little, but thatâs just kids playing.
Those are just innocent childhood words. It was only a game.â
Xaviera couldnât help but sigh. Miss Woodsâ acting skills were truly great.
She hadnât taken Jakeâs words seriously before, but Zara had to repeat them, looking shy and clearly trying to cover up something.
Was Miss Woods deliberately provoking Xaviera to be jealous and angry?
Zara pretended to be anxious: âXaviera, donât be mad. It was justâŠâ
Before Xaviera could speak, Caleb said indifferently: âZara Woods, if your memory isnât good, I can remind you. It was Yigol Mamet who said he would marry you when we were playing house, not me.â Zaraâs face changed.
Caleb said leisurely, âI wasnât that childish.â
Xaviera knew that he was such a mature person. How could he have played house with them and even said he wanted to marry Zara Woods?
Zaraâs mouth twitched a few times, then she struggled to bring up a smile and forced herself to calm down, âWell, maybe I remembered it wrong. It was Yigol after all. Thatâs even better; Xaviera wonât be angry.â
Jakeâs brow furrowed. It was just a game from their youth, but Caleb was being so unsparing to Zara. Wasnât that a bit too much?
He stepped closer to Caleb, âItâs normal to remember something wrong from so long ago. Are you really going to hold it against her like this?â
âCaleb, you didnât even tell us about your marriage, and now I hear from Zara that we canât visit your house anymore? Xaviera wonât let us?â
Jake looked surprised, âCaleb, are you serious? Weâre such close friends, are you really going to cut ties with us just because your wife doesnât welcome us?â There was a sudden silence.
The butler also became tense. Was Mr. Lindsey missing a few screws in his head?
He came to the Lowen Clubhouse and blatantly asked the President in front of his wife whose side he was on.
Caleb chuckled, sounding rather eerie in the stillness. He looked at Xaviera,
âWhat do you think?â
Xaviera sat on the sofa, her legs crossed, smiling slightly, âI originally wanted to save face for Miss Woods, but given how thick her skin is, coming here again and again, Iâll be blunt: I just donât welcome you!â
Zara paled.
Jake immediately retorted, âXaviera! This is Calebâs home, and we are his good friends. Whether or not you welcome us is utterly unimportant!â
âMrs. Mametâs opinion is very important,â Caleb said coldly. âI support everything she does.â
Zaraâs body went limp, and she nearly lost her balance. She felt suffocated, unable to catch her breath.
âI-Iâm feeling a little unwell. Excuse me.â
With that, she covered her face and rushed out.
Calebâs expression remained calm as he took Xavieraâs hand, âLetâs go.â
âCaleb!â Jake exclaimed in shock, âWhat do you mean? You know that Zara likes you and that thereâs only you in her heart.. And yet you still hurt her like this? Do you still call us friends or not?â
