Xaviera Evans furrowed her brows in thought and suddenly remembered that not long ago, Caleb Mamet mentioned they would visit the Mamet Old Mansion to act as a loving couple in front of the Mamet family members.
Could it be that he’s talking about today?!
Seeing her remember, Caleb laughed and said, ‘Mrs. Mamet’s brain is quite useful.”
Xaviera: ‘
Caleb: “I checked, you don’t have class today, so Mrs. Mamet, please.” He opened the car door, gesturing for Xaviera to get in.
Xaviera instinctively wanted to refuse; she wasn’t prepared to go to the Mamet Old Mansion. However, Caleb suddenly leaned close to her, his breath hot, and said, “If Mrs. Mamet performs well this time, I can agree to one thing for Mrs.
Mamet, such as the thing you desire most…”
He pointed at his lips, the meaning clear without words.
Admittedly, this made Caleb too irresistible! Xaviera knew that Caleb was very strict with his body, so she couldn’t attack him even if she wanted to. She had to eat bitter food every day, which made her doubt her life choices.
Xaviera couldn’t resist this temptation, and stuttered, “Okay, a man should
keep his promises. I already agreed to go to the Mamet family with you, so going with you now is appropriate.”
She didn’t want to appear like a female pervert only interested in Caleb’s body.
Caleb stared at her for a while, not knowing whether to believe her or not. When Xaviera was at a loss, he suddenly chuckled, “So, can Mrs. Mamet get in the car?”
The Mamet Old Mansion was a bit remote, with an exceptionally large area. The antique-style mansion had a strong sense of history.
It was said that this mansion used to be a prince’s residence. Later, the Mamet family head at that time took a fancy to it, bought it at a sky-high price, and it became the Mamet Old Mansion. The Mamet family was not an upstart but an enduring and evergreen family after experiencing the test of history.
Generally, such a family’s background would be very profound.
Although anyone else seeing this mansion for the first time might be amazed, Xaviera was different. She had grown up with her master and seniors, who lived in a place not much worse than the Mamet Old Mansion. The history of their residence was even stronger.
As they walked, they arrived at the reception hall.
Caleb glanced at Xaviera, who was a person’s width away from him, and couldn’t help but sigh. “Mrs. Mamet, do you think a loving couple should walk this far apart?”
Xaviera:
She glanced at the distance between her and Caleb, before silently getting a little closer. Caleb nodded in satisfaction, then stretched out his hand to her, “Give me your hand.”
Hand?
Xaviera was puzzled. Did they have to hold hands while walking?
“There’s no need, right? I think this action is unnecessary. Think about those couples on the street; not all of them hold hands when they walk.”
Unfortunately, her words were like a breeze to Caleb. Since Xaviera didn’t actively give her hand, he just took it himself. The sudden heat made Xaviera’s face turn red, and she stumbled as he led her into the reception hall.
At this time, there were already some people in the reception hall waiting, about fourteen or fifteen.
Unfortunately, none of their expressions looked good. Xaviera blinked and glanced at her handholding with Caleb, suddenly realizing: Ah, the Mamet family members are very unhappy about Caleb’s sudden marriage.
Caleb led her into the reception hall, swept his gaze over the room, and, not finding the person he wanted to see, directly asked in a deep voice, “Where’s Grandma?”
Mrs. Mamet was sitting in the middle, coughed, and a noblewoman in her 40s or 50s next to her took the cue and spoke with a smile, “Caleb is back, you haven’t returned for a long time. Why don’t you greet everybody?”
As she said this, without waiting for Caleb’s response, her gaze fell on Xaviera. She looked Xaviera up and down and then said disdainfully, “So you are Caleb’s newlywed wife? How can you be a wife? Caleb is so busy with his company affairs every day, and you don’t remind him of anything? Also, you came empty-handed on your first visit and didn’t know how to greet your elders. You clearly come from a small household, you don’t have any manners.”
Xaviera:
Was this the legendary undeserved disaster?
These people were afraid of Caleb and wouldn’t dare to say anything to him, so
they bullied her instead?
