Chapter 218 - 218: 218: The sudden mental induction
He seemed refreshed, which annoyed her because she had sacrificed her sleep to save him last night. Without acknowledging her efforts, he had started eating his breakfast. He was a true jerk!
After she finished cursing him in her mind, Caleb suddenly turned to look at her.
Xaviera felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
It scared the hell out of me! She had just finished cursing him in her mind, and then he suddenly looked at her.
That was horrifying!
Caleb raised his eyebrows.
When Xaviera came down, he clearly heard, ‘He looked very energetic, and it was all because of her. She worked tirelessly to save him last night. He didn’t say a word of thanks and had started eating his breakfast. He truly was a jerk!’ There was a bit of confusion in Caleb’s eyes as he looked at Xaviera again.
At that moment, Xaviera was smiling at him with a face full of flattery, hers cheeks trembling with an enchanting laugh.
Caleb smiled ambiguously. He thought that she was trying to help him recover his sense of taste and wouldn’t have cursed him so early in the morning.
Then, he heard another sentence.
‘Caleb looks so weird. Is it because I’m looking drained! It’s all because of your behavior, jerk. I’m almost exhausted!’
It was Xaviera’s voice.
Caleb put down his cutlery, a flash of doubt in his eyes, “Steve Price, did you hear Mrs. Mamet speaking?”
Steve Price quickly shook his head, “I didn’t hear anything! You must be hearing things. Your eyes haven’t even recovered and now you’re saying your ears are playing tricks on you? My poor boss…”
“Shut up!”
Caleb spoke coldly, then turned to Xaviera, “Mrs. Mamet looks unwell.”
Xaviera couldn’t help but laugh.
—’Is the jerk displeased with me? I didn’t even get to sleep well because I was busy trying to detoxificate him. My whole body aches and he doesn’t even care!’ —’It wasn’t easy saving you. Today, I deserve a break and a great meal!’ This time, Caleb was sure that he could hear Xaviera’s inner thoughts.
Unbelievable… Mrs. Mamet’s inner thoughts were as fascinating as she was.
Did she want a great meal?
Caleb said leisurely, “Steve Price, get Mrs. Mamet’s personal chef.”
After the personal chef arrived and learned that Mrs. Mamet was injured last night, he cooked some mild and nourishing dishes. He kind-heartedly suggested, “Mrs. Mamet’s body is weak and her inflammation is high. It’s better to eat less spicy and fatty food and to stick to a light diet.”
Xaviera felt less excited as soon as she heard this.
Before she went to bed last night, she was thinking that as soon as Caleb woke up, she would tell him how she saved his life last night. She hoped he would be grateful and would give her a few kisses, at least. He would then take her out for barbeque!
However, not only was she unable to kiss him, she could no longer have barbeque and had to stick to a light diet. Xaviera was cursing internally.
—’I want to eat barbeque! This jerk is too annoying! Not only won’t he take me for barbeque, he won’t even kiss me!’
—”Caleb! Damn you! I want barbeque!”
Caleb got up briskly, wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned in close, his hot breath spraying onto her face, “Want to go out and eat?”
Xaviera nodded furiously, her mouth watering, “Yes, I want to eat…”
The man curled his lips into a smile, tenderly pressing his forehead against hers, but he didn’t kiss her, “Barbeque is not allowed, Mrs. Mamet. Your body is weak and can’t endure oily food.”
Xaviera was gazing at his lips, gleaming in her eyes. She smiled mischievously, “If we can’t eat, we can’t eat. Whatever Caleb says, I’ll listen. I want a kiss-” With a subtle smile, Caleb leaned down and kissed her.
While he was kissing Xaviera, she snuggled up in his arms, being particularly obedient.
However, her mind was still racing.
—’I want to eat barbeque! Caleb, you jerk! I yearn for barbeque! Extra spicy!
Boo hoo! I’ve forgotten what barbeque tastes like! Jerk! Do you think a kiss can make me forget about it?’
Caleb looked into her eyes with deep emotions, his voice hoarse, “Are you upset because I won’t let Mrs. Mamet eat barbeque?”
Xaviera quickly squeezed out a smile, her whole face looking sycophantic,
“How could I be? I love Caleb the most. I’ll listen to you.”
Then Caleb heard another wild burst of inner monologue..
