…
The Campbell Residence in Libanan.
Anna Campbell sat on the sofa, tear stains all over her face and trembling. Mr. Campbell pointed at her and yelled: “You idiot! It was one thing for your brother to stand up for you, but why didn’t you tell him in advance that Caleb Mat was in the car? By plotting to kill Caleb Mat, you’re trying to destroy the Campbell family!”
Mrs. Campbell quickly defended Anna, “Stop yelling, what does this have to do with Anna? It wasn’t Anna who asked Adrian to do this. It was Adrian who wanted to stand up for his sister and hired people. If we were to bla anyone, it would be Xaviera Evans. If it weren’t for her causing trouble, how could things have beco such a ss, and how could Adrian have been arrested?”
“Adrian has been obedient for over twenty years and never caused any troubles until he encountered Evans, it’s all her fault!”
Xaviera Evans sat in front of a table in the bedroom, a computer before her. The screen showed the surveillance footage of downstairs. Listening to their conversation, she couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.
Caleb hooked his lips: “Mrs. Mat, this is a bit improper.”
Xaviera Evans raised an eyebrow, “Who told them to harbor ill will? What I did was to protect myself. After all, the Campbell family has a criminal who hired a hitman, even though they didn’t succeed in hurting , I’m still terrified. Is there any problem with installing a pinhole cara to prevent any risks?”
The man took a few steps closer, with a slight smile: “Mrs. Mat, do you want to forgive the Campbell family?”
Xaviera gave a sly smile.
at the understanding, Caleb casually said: “They will soon be begging . To retaliate for Mrs. Mat, of course, I won’t easily let it go.”
Xaviera’s lips curled up, she lowered her head bashfully.
Caleb’s heart suddenly ward. Mrs. Mat always acted like a young lady, becoming all flustered from him doing her a little favor.
The next second…
Xaviera lifted her eyes, arrogantly turned up her head, “You don’t think that would be enough to move ? Even without you, there are many people who would stand up for . I don’t need you. I truly am charming, everyone loves so much. It can’t be helped, being too outstanding is a fault.”
Caleb: “…”
Man was silent for a mont, pursed his lips slightly, and finally sighed helplessly: “I’m letting Steve Price stay here to protect you.”
Xaviera pretended to be reluctant: “Caleb, I will miss you!”
Caleb looked down at her, her eyes full of smiles, and couldn’t help but smile gently, “Okay, I will miss you too.”
Xaviera Evans waved at him, just as she was about to leave, Caleb grasped her into his arms, startling her with a gasp.
She blushed, “What are you doing? I said I would miss you, it’s our first ti living separately after marriage. If you miss too much, Caleb, why don’t we… ”
“Mrs. Mat, I will go first, you can call .”
Xaviera choked up instant: “How can a phone call make up for your longing for ? Without by your side, every day must be like a year to you!”
She gave a sly smile: “Or we could scope the nearby house.”
“I will co again tomorrow.”
Xaviera beca stern, staring into Caleb’s teasing eyes.
Even if he couldn’t hear Xaviera’s inner voice at this mont, he knew what she was thinking. She just wanted him to stay so they could regain their sense of taste.
Caleb saw Xaviera frowning, looking troubled, and he gave a helpless smile, “Okay.”
Xaviera looked up, a little confused, just as she was about to ask what he ant by ‘okay’, she felt a warm touch on her lips, “Rest well, the Campbell family won’t bother you for now.”
Xaviera quickly took a bite of the apple on the table. The sweet taste was exactly wonderful. She had finally regained her sense of taste.
“Caleb, I don’t think so. The Campbell family knows that I was in the sa car with you and might co directly to , asking for to intercede for Adrian Campbell. Therefore, they will definitely cause trouble.”
