Chapter 279: 279: 1 1 m not as childish as you guys
“Wait a moment.”
Caleb stopped him, his cold smile sent a chill: “I have something to ask Mr.
Lindsey, so that I don’t have to look for him later.”
As Xaviera Evans heard his words, she felt chills down her spine. This guy Jake was in big trouble!
Jake Lindsey and Zara Woods sat on the sofa, like they were the owners of the house, all smiles.
“Jake, don’t say that. If Xaviera hears it, she’ll be unhappy.”
As she spoke, Zara raised her eyes and saw Xaviera at the door, exclaiming,
“Xaviera? You’re back!”
Jake looked up with displeasure, his eyes full of disgust.
Zara hurriedly stood up, looking flustered: “Xaviera, Jake was just joking. You mustn’t take it to heart. I’ve only ever regarded Caleb as a friend.”
“Is what I said wrong? You and Caleb are childhood friends. When you were kids, you even slept in the same bed. He even said that he would marry you when he grew up. Have you forgotten all about that?” Jake said earnestly.
Zara Woods hung her head shyly and quickly explained, “Xaviera, it’s true that Caleb said he would marry me when we were little, but that’s just kids playing.
Those are just innocent childhood words. It was only a game.”
Xaviera couldn’t help but sigh. Miss Woods’ acting skills were truly great.
She hadn’t taken Jake’s words seriously before, but Zara had to repeat them, looking shy and clearly trying to cover up something.
Was Miss Woods deliberately provoking Xaviera to be jealous and angry?
Zara pretended to be anxious: “Xaviera, don’t be mad. It was just…”
Before Xaviera could speak, Caleb said indifferently: “Zara Woods, if your memory isn’t good, I can remind you. It was Yigol Mamet who said he would marry you when we were playing house, not me.” Zara’s face changed.
Caleb said leisurely, “I wasn’t that childish.”
Xaviera knew that he was such a mature person. How could he have played house with them and even said he wanted to marry Zara Woods?
Zara’s mouth twitched a few times, then she struggled to bring up a smile and forced herself to calm down, “Well, maybe I remembered it wrong. It was Yigol after all. That’s even better; Xaviera won’t be angry.”
Jake’s brow furrowed. It was just a game from their youth, but Caleb was being so unsparing to Zara. Wasn’t that a bit too much?
He stepped closer to Caleb, “It’s normal to remember something wrong from so long ago. Are you really going to hold it against her like this?”
“Caleb, you didn’t even tell us about your marriage, and now I hear from Zara that we can’t visit your house anymore? Xaviera won’t let us?”
Jake looked surprised, “Caleb, are you serious? We’re such close friends, are you really going to cut ties with us just because your wife doesn’t welcome us?” There was a sudden silence.
The butler also became tense. Was Mr. Lindsey missing a few screws in his head?
He came to the Lowen Clubhouse and blatantly asked the President in front of his wife whose side he was on.
Caleb chuckled, sounding rather eerie in the stillness. He looked at Xaviera,
“What do you think?”
Xaviera sat on the sofa, her legs crossed, smiling slightly, “I originally wanted to save face for Miss Woods, but given how thick her skin is, coming here again and again, I’ll be blunt: I just don’t welcome you!”
Zara paled.
Jake immediately retorted, “Xaviera! This is Caleb’s home, and we are his good friends. Whether or not you welcome us is utterly unimportant!”
“Mrs. Mamet’s opinion is very important,” Caleb said coldly. “I support everything she does.”
Zara’s body went limp, and she nearly lost her balance. She felt suffocated, unable to catch her breath.
“I-I’m feeling a little unwell. Excuse me.”
With that, she covered her face and rushed out.
Caleb’s expression remained calm as he took Xaviera’s hand, “Let’s go.”
“Caleb!” Jake exclaimed in shock, “What do you mean? You know that Zara likes you and that there’s only you in her heart.. And yet you still hurt her like this? Do you still call us friends or not?”
