Chapter 22: Craving My Body
Translator: 549690339
The next day, when Xaviera Evans woke up, she noticed how strangely quiet the house was, and then she suddenly rembered what happened – Mr. Caleb Mat had sent all the servants away yesterday.
Caleb Mat sat on the couch with his long legs crossed, casually browsing through so docunts. Seeing Xaviera co 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 Mat said you should pick the servants, choose soone you like.”
Xaviera sighed, “Too much trouble. You guys just handle it.”
Caleb Mat slamd the docunts 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 ti, 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 ti, 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 Mat’s cold air and sat down next to him.
Steve looked at one, then the other, feeling odd. He thought sothing was going on with these two, but now they seed so distant!
It was impossible for Xaviera not to notice Caleb Mat’s low mood.
Pressing her temples, she suddenly grabbed the back of Caleb Mat’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 Mat:
Steve Price: “Pfft!”
Caleb Mat glared at Steve and then pushed Xaviera away, “Who’s angry? Just eat your al, and stop being handsy.”
Xaviera touched her lips and smiled obediently. One kiss not only cald Caleb Mat down but also got her a tasty breakfast. What a deal!
Upstairs study.
Steve chattered behind Caleb Mat, “Boss, are you really the sa 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 Mat 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 ; 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 ?”
Steve’s words made Caleb Mat stop in his tracks. He looked back at Steve, eyebrows slightly raised, “You’re saying she likes ?”
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 Mat whispered with a faint smile, “No wonder…”
No wonder she wanted kisses so often; it was because she liked him. This fact pleased Caleb Mat greatly.
Right then, Steve’s phone beeped. He glanced at the incoming ssage, puzzled, “President, Madam had an accident before and lost her sense of taste. Everything she eats tastes bitter. But she seed to have a normal breakfast earlier, right?”
“What did you say?”
Caleb Mat’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 ssage, Caleb Mat’s expression turned dark as water.
‘What liking,’ it was all a lie!
If he rembered correctly, Xaviera had wanted to discuss divorce on the day they first t. However, she accidentally kissed his finger and tasted sweetness. Caleb still rembered Xaviera’s bright eyes, brighter than the stars in the night sky at that mont.
Soone 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!
