The moment the lights went out, Caleb Mamet breathed a sigh of relief and sat quietly on the sofa.
The surroundings were silent, and he was waiting for Xaviera Evans.
But after a long time, he did not hear Evans’s footsteps.
Caleb lowered his eyes, a sense of loss emerging from the dimness.
Evans’s words still echoed in his ears; to her, their marriage was merely an agreement, acting like a couple in front of others, but strangers when alone.
Caleb smirked, realizing he had been too sentimental. He was about to call Steve Price to restore the lights when he heard footsteps…
“Caleb, are you there?”
Caleb’s heart jolted, and his phone slipped to the ground.
Everything was pitch black before his eyes, but he still looked towards the source of Evans’s voice.
Evans’s footsteps were somewhat disordered, her voice slightly trembling, “Don’t move, I’m coming.”
The corner of the man’s mouth twitched slightly.
If she really didn’t care about him, then from now on they would only be partners in their agreement.
But she still appeared…
She cared for him, so there was no escape for her.
Evans turned on the flashlight, saw Caleb sitting quietly on the sofa, and hurriedly walked over. “Caleb, you…”
Caleb reached out to embrace her waist, pulling her into his arms.
He couldn’t see anything just now and accidentally knocked something over, not expecting Evans to actually come downstairs.
Evans was tightly held by him, their bodies pressed closely together.
Even if Caleb was blind, he could still embrace her.
“You finally came.”
Evans flushed and struggled to get away.
Caleb took a light breath, filled with endless joy, his voice deep, “Evans, since you’re here, there’s no escaping!”
Then a cool, soft pair of lips attached, finding hers with the precision.
Evans’s body tensed, both hands gripping his clothes tightly.
Thump thump!
Her heart was pounding violently.
When she had kissed Caleb before, it was to regain her sense of taste, so there was no emotional mix.
Yet this time the kiss made Evans lose herself, seemingly forgetting time. Taking advantage of a pause, Evans hastily spoke, “Caleb, don’t…”
Before she could finish, her voice vanished into the kiss, and her mind became dizzy.
“This is…the living room. Let’s…go upstairs!”
Caleb let go of her, hooked the corner of his lips, his voice gentle but seductive,
“Mrs. Mamet, I can’t go back.”
His hoarse voice sent shivers down Evans’s spine, stuttering, “T-That’s what I’m here for! I’ll take you back!”
Caleb chuckled lightly.
In the darkness, Evans’s cheeks were flushed, and even her ears had a faint pink color.
Evans carefully helped Caleb to the bedroom, covered him with the quilt, and then turned to leave.
Come night, he could see nothing; the poison might have already penetrated deep within him.
Moreover, Caleb had many enemies. If they found out, many would take advantage of the night to attack.
Although her grandfather couldn’t save Miss Drew at that time, over twenty years had passed. Perhaps now there was a way to detoxificate.
And Caleb’s poison was not as severe as Miss Drew’s.
If acupuncture was administered to Caleb every day, perhaps the toxins could be expelled.
After that, it was up to fate.
As long as it was done before the poison took effect, there was still time.
Evans returned to her room to think about detoxification methods, while Caleb remained sleepless all night.
In the morning, Evans slowly opened her eyes, and after washing up, took her toolkit to find Caleb.
The man’s gaze was clear, staring at the toolkit in her hands.
Evans cut straight to the chase, “Caleb, take off your clothes!” Steve Price had just arrived at the door when he heard such an explosive statement.
Wow! Last night the President and the Mrs. had made rapid progress; they were already undressing early in the morning?
Caleb wore black pajamas, his hair slightly disheveled, yet he appeared even more handsome with an invisible aura of authority.
Evans opened the toolkit, revealing silver needles and various bottles and jars within. The man smirked, “Take off my clothes?”
“Mm-hmm, I’m going to give you acupuncture.”
Evans looked up, meeting his thin lips, and suddenly her mind exploded, the lingering scene emerging before her eyes.
Caleb’s kisses were overwhelming, filled with possessiveness, disregarding any resistance…
“Mrs. Mamet.”
After a few seconds of silence, Caleb said slowly, “Your eyes are full of ill intentions?”
Wait, what did he mean by ill intentions?
Evans glared at him fiercely, meeting his gaze and understanding at once.
This dog of a man had the wrong idea!
But after that, the scene couldn’t be shrugged off, always appearing before
Evans’s eyes..
