Thinking of this, Caleb didn’t go upstairs but simply turned around and sat down on the sofa, stretching all his limbs. “Do you care about me? Why don’t you join me for a bath, Mrs. Mamet? That way, even if I fall, there’s nothing to worry about.”
Xaviera: ‘
This man must be daydreaming.
Caleb didn’t mind her silence and reached out to pick up a cigarette from the table. Before he could light it, Xaviera approached: “Let me light it for you?”
Caleb paused with the cigarette in hand, then tossed the lighter to Xaviera and said leisurely, “Alright.”
Xaviera took the lighter, but she found a big problem as Caleb was leaning on the sofa with his long legs stretched out, taking up a lot of space. The cigarette was in his mouth, and he looked different and rather unapproachable.
Xaviera’s heart raced as she thought if she wanted to light the cigarette for him, she would have to get close to his chest. However, with his height and long legs, she had to lean forward to get close to his chest„
This pose was such a balance test!
Xaviera hesitated for a moment, wondering whether she should take back her offer. Wasn’t it just lighting a cigarette? Why couldn’t this man do it himself? But considering that she needed Caleb’s cooperation for a kiss later, she gritted her teeth and thought, it’s just a cigarette, what’s so difficult about it!
With that, she pressed down on the lighter, carefully shielding the flame and bringing it to Caleb. Then she aimed it at the tip of the cigarette. Throughout the process, her gaze was serious, as the lighter’s flame glittered and burned sharply in her eyes. Even her slightly pursed lips, due to her nervousness, appeared very kissable.
Caleb’s Adam’s apple rolled inconspicuously.
Under Xaviera’s careful guidance, the cigarette in Caleb’s mouth was successfully lit. She exhaled in relief: “It’s done.”
With a faint glance, Caleb said with a simper, “Mrs. Mamet is unusually accommodating today.”
Xaviera shifted her eyes, finding an excuse: “Isn’t it because I want to thank you for taking me to the Coriell family’s banquet today? Considering all the things you’ve done for me, and I’ve only lit a cigarette for you, it’s not enough.
How about I thank you with a kiss?”
Caleb took a puff of the cigarette, and through the smoke, he looked at Xaviera’s hopeful eyes. This woman was really currying favor with him just to regain her sense of taste.
Although he had suspected it, when the truth came out, he couldn’t help but feel a little frustrated. Did she only see him as a tool to restore her sense of taste? If other men could also help her recover, would she treat them the same way?
The more he thought about it, the more upset Caleb became, so he simply reclined on the sofa, “Alright, I like this reward Mrs. Mamet has offered.”
Xaviera’s eyes brightened: “Really? You agree?”
He nodded.
Xaviera’s heart raced like a drum, and with her eyes closed, she leaned in for a kiss. She swore she would never badmouth Caleb in her mind again. This man was obviously quite easygoing and not stubborn at all!
As Xaviera moved closer, the distance between them grew shorter until only a
fist’s length remained. With trembling eyes, she slowly opened her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering, making one’s heart itch to watch.
Caleb spoke hoarsely, “Mrs. Mamet wants to kiss me …”
Xaviera was too excited to hear Caleb’s words, all she could think was to quickly kiss him so she could enjoy the Michelin Feast!
However, just when her lips were about to touch Caleb’s, he suddenly shifted back.
Xaviera:
Caleb looked away, “I suddenly feel this is not right, maybe we shouldn’t kiss. Or if you really want to kiss me, Mrs. Mamet, why not wait until we’re back in the bedroom before continuing?”
Xaviera: ‘
She swore this man was doing it on purpose, absolutely on purpose! He was just toying with her! From taking off her clothes to lighting the cigarette, she had done everything for him, and now Xaviera pouted in frustration, “You’re playing with me.”
Seeing her childish side for the first time, Caleb found it quite amusing and tapped on his knee, “Kiss me? It’s not impossible.”
Xaviera glanced at him, trying to figure out what other ridiculous ideas this man might have to torment her.
Leaning towards her ear, Caleb whispered, “In a few days, accompany me to the Mamet family? They’ve been wanting me to get married, and having a loving wife like you, you know what I mean?”
Xaviera understood, Caleb was asking her to go with him to the Mamet family, where they would pretend to be a loving couple in front of all the family members. They were going to act out a play..
