Chapter 709: Chapter 709: I’m Not That Childish
Xaviera Evans wrapped her arms around Caleb Mat’s waist and coquettishly said, “Caleb~ I want to go too!”
Caleb Mat was silent for a mont and then smiled faintly, “If you want to go, you have to pay a price. Beg , and I’ll take you, Mrs. Mat!”
Xaviera frowned. She had already acted spoiled, and this damn man still wanted to give her a hard ti – it was too much. So she huffed coldly, “I don’t even want to go anymore!”
— ‘I’ll go myself once you leave!’
Caleb Mat heard Xaviera’s inner thoughts and couldn’t help but laugh, gently tousling her hair, “Mrs. Mat, we’re the stars of today’s show. How could we casually make an appearance? It’d be just perfect if we wait until things get out of hand before we show up.”
“I originally was planning to go at nine o’clock, but since you don’t want to go, let’s forget about it. You rest well, I’ll go first.”
Upon hearing this, Xaviera hastily grabbed his hand, looking at him ingratiatingly, “I’ll go, I’ll go!”
Caleb Mat looked at her with an indulgent expression, and then took a black box out of the drawer. He took out a pinhole cara from the box and pinned it to his suit button.
Xaviera looked at him perplexedly, “What are you doing?”
Caleb Mat furrowed his brows, “He probably wanted you to record Jenny Green’s breakdown to watch when he wakes up. I’ll record it instead.”
Xaviera’s eyes widened, “How do you know?”
Caught off guard, Caleb Mat’s hands hesitated. How could he possibly admit that he’d had the sa thought—recording the scene for later enjoynt, sothing to watch whenever he was feeling down?
Silent for a while, Caleb Mat casually replied, “I understand him well.”
“He stayed up all night just to give this opportunity. He won’t be able to see such a marvelous scene, so naturally, he’d ask you to record it. But I won’t be so childish. I wouldn’t deign to watch such boring stuff.”
As he said this, the entire bedroom fell silent.
Xaviera tugged at the corners of her mouth. Don’t you blush when you say such things? Don’t think I don’t know that you two have very similar personalities. Everything he does is what you genuinely want in your heart.
Nine o’clock in the morning.
Jenny Green led the guests to the front hall for a al. They then began a tour of the Mat Old Mansion.
“Mrs. Mat, the Mat Old Mansion has been standing for so many years, and it’s still so glorious. Living here must surely lift one’s spirits,” said a guest.
Jenny Green laughed, “That’s true! I usually don’t have much to do here except tend to the flowers and drink coffee. But thankfully, I have Yvette to keep company, so I’m not too bored.”
Everyone knew Jenny Green didn’t like Xaviera and wanted to drive her out of the Mat family, paving the way for Yvette Flack. They shared knowing smiles.
“To be honest, Xaviera is indeed inferior to Miss Flack. She grew up in the countryside, while Miss Yvette, the daughter of the Flack family, is a well-bred, pampered lady. Only soone of her status can truly match Mr. Caleb Mat,” said one of the guests.
Jenny Green smiled and nodded in agreent, then her eyebrows furrowed, “But I don’t know what spell Caleb fell under when he married Xaviera behind our backs. If he truly loves Xaviera, Yvette would surely be wronged by being with him. I can’t bear to see her suffer like that!”
Everyone chid in, all showering Jenny Green with flattery.
Seeing that the ti was about right, Jenny Green said, “There’s not much to see in the courtyard. Why don’t we go to the main house for a tour? Will has collected so many antiques, it’s ti for our esteed guests to enjoy them.”
The guests had all long heard about the Mat family’s exquisite collection but had not had a chance to see it. Now that Jenny Green proposed a tour, they naturally wouldn’t refuse.
The crowd walked towards the main house, and Xaviera watched them with excitent, “They’re going! They’re really going! I can’t wait!”
“Jenny Green opens your room and finds no one there, then she hears ambiguous noises coming from next door. She’ll think it’s you and Yvette together, but when she pushes the door open to find it’s her husband! Hahaha…”
Caleb Mat lowered his gaze and pinched Xaviera’s cheek, “Mrs. Mat, you’re wasting your talent for plotting and scheming if you don’t use it to write stories.”
Xaviera looked at him with a beaming smile, but it suddenly froze on her face as she looked troubled, “But… what about Yigol?”
Even Caleb Mat’s eyes flashed a hint of heartache, “If it weren’t for Yigol’s sake, Jenny Green would have left this world long ago. But soon, there’ll be no need to tread lightly around her.”
“Why?” Xaviera asked.
A chill filled Caleb Mat’s eyes, “Maybe you should have already noticed that Jenny Green isn’t particularly fond of Yigol.”
