Chapter 320: Chapter 320: Men Are Creatures Who Lie

Translator: 549690339

Steve Price had already hidden to one side, listening to the conversation between the butler and his brother. What the two of them said was indeed true, but saying it at the entrance of Madam’s room seemed a bit deliberate.

It must have been the president’s instruction, meant to make Madam worry.

Steve Price dared not say more for fear of the president settling accounts with him. So, he said with hidden meaning: “Anyway, don’t easily believe a man’s words. Men are creatures that can lie and play the victim for sympathy! Madam, you know what I mean, don’t you?”

Xaviera Evans: “?”

Aren’t you a man too?

When Xaviera came to the dining room, she saw several candlesticks lit on the table. The feeble light was better than nothing for Caleb Mamet.

The man’s eyes were listless and unfocused as he sat quietly in his chair, surrounded by darkness.

Xaviera’s heart ached, and her whole body trembled with pain.

She quickly went over: ‘Where is the butler? Caleb, why haven’t you turned on the light?”

The man raised his eyes, following the sound, but his gaze had no focus, his face pale, and his brow furrowed with pain.

“You’re here. ”

Xaviera pursed her lips: “Why aren’t you eating? Caleb, I’m actually not angry anymore, I…”

“It’s fine.”

Caleb slightly curved his mouth, appearing indifferent but with a touch of sadness, “I’m used to it.”

steve ynce:

Lean on! What a technique, Mr. President! A bitter meat tactic!

The fragile Caleb before her made Xaviera’s heart ache, and she spoke gently,

“I’ll turn on the light and eat with you.”

The moment Xaviera turned, Caleb hooked the corner of his mouth with a smile.

Steve Price caught sight of this scene, and it dawned on him that people should have thicker skin. There were not many men as honest as him.

In the future, when he gets married, he should be as thick-skinned as the president!

After Caleb had ‘struggled’ to eat a few bites, his eyes were hollow, and he seemed weak, “When I was young… only my grandmother cared about me. Later, she fell ill and couldn’t help me, but whenever she woke up, she held me and coaxed me to sleep.”

Xaviera’s heart ached dully.

Caleb’s face was filled with sadness: “Apart from my grandmother, everyone bullied, tortured, and even tried to kill me.”

Xaviera’s sympathy overflowed, and without thinking, she said: “I’ll coax you to sleep. ”

After saying that, she was a little surprised, feeling like it wasn’t quite appropriate. Just as she was about to take it back, Caleb suddenly raised his eyes.

His eyes finally had a wave of emotion, “Can I?”

Caleb had always been domineering and cold, exuding a regal aura, but now he seemed so fragile that he was heartbreaking.

If she retracted her offer now, he’d be disappointed, right? Would he think there’s nobody who cares about him in this world?

After a moment of hesitation, Xaviera nodded: “Mhm.”

Watching this scene, Steve Price froze. Is this how you play it?

After Xaviera helped Caleb up the stairs, he rushed to Sean Price and said, “There’s something strange about the president!”

Sean Price looked at him indifferently.

With curiosity all over his face, Steve Price asked, “The president doesn’t know how to fall in love. How did he think of this way to get Madam’s forgiveness? There must be someone behind it! Brother! Do you know? Tell me, who is it?” Sean Price turned his face away and said leisurely, “I got a raise.”

“What?” Steve Price exclaimed in anger: “Why are you getting a raise when I’m having my salary deducted every day? This is unfair!”

Sean Price smiled slightly, “Why? Because, in the president’s eyes, you and I have different values to him.”

Steve Price always came up with bad ideas, but his suggestion helped the president win Madam’s heart.

How can brothers have such a difference in intelligence!

Early the next morning.

Xaviera woke up groggily and, seeing the somewhat unfamiliar surroundings, remembered that she had slept in Caleb’s room last night.

She had no idea when Caleb had left, and she sat on the bed, bewildered.

This isn’t right!

Wasn’t Caleb the one who got on her nerves? Why did she end up coaxing him to sleep in the end?

Did Caleb have a mentor behind him?

Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a call from Irene Hamer.

When Xaviera picked up, Irene anxiously said, “Xaviera, do you know someone donated a teaching building to Libanan University?”

“I know.” This news had spread all over Libanan University, of course she knew..
