Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband

Just as the thought crossed her mind, a commotion came from downstairs, accompanied by the crisp sound of a vase shattering on the floor.

Xaviera Evans: ‘

Was Caleb Mamet wrecking the place downstairs?

After waiting for a while and hearing no more noise from below, Xaviera pressed her temples and decided to head out and check on him.

As she turned the corner of the staircase, she saw Caleb standing motionless amid the debris. Xaviera couldn’t help but ask: ‘What are you doing? ‘ Caleb slowly looked up at her, and Xaviera paused abruptly.

Caleb’s eyes seemed shrouded in a layer of haze, utterly unfocused. Although he was looking at her, his gaze wasn’t actually on her… the feeling was…

Xaviera quietly approached him, avoiding the broken shards on the ground. She carefully waved her hand in front of him, yet his gaze remained unresponsive.

So… he couldn’t see!

For a moment, Xaviera’s mind went blank. Although Caleb was sometimes a “dumb dog, ” there was no doubt he was a strong man. Watching such a

formidable person suddenly go blind… Remembering the muffled groan she’d heard when entering the house and seeing the broken shards scattered on the floor, Xaviera couldn’t describe how she felt.

She took Caleb’s hand and casually said, “You’re so clumsy. No matter how wealthy you are, you shouldn’t be smashing vases like this. Come on, let’s go to the living room.”

Caleb’s fingertips hesitated, and he gently refused: “No.”

Xaviera: “…” What was he still being stubborn about!

She leaned in and turned on the kitchen wall light, using the bright illumination to inconspicuously examine if Caleb had been cut by the shards.

“Come to the living room with me first.”

Xaviera tugged on him again, and at that moment, she sensed an unwavering gaze locked onto her. She reflexively looked up and met a pair of deep yet sharp eyes.

Xaviera was taken aback, and she paused… Could he see?

“What’s Mrs. Mamet trying to do here? Command me?” Caleb raised an eyebrow, his gaze full of hidden meaning. He stared at Xaviera for a moment before taking long strides, stepping over the debris, and heading toward the living room: “The way Mrs. Mamet just looked at me made me suspect that you care about me.”

Xaviera’s expression kept changing.

Ordinary people might have been fooled by Caleb’s acting, but Xaviera had learned some medical skills from Albert and was sure she hadn’t seen it wrong. At some point, Caleb indeed couldn’t see.

But when the light came on, he could see again… What was going on? Night blindness?

Caleb glanced at Xaviera, who was frowning in confusion, and sighed with relief in his heart. The butler was on leave today, and he had forgotten to turn on the lights when he came home. The darkness had triggered the toxins in his body, causing his blindness. Although the dim light of dusk was enough for others to see, he was engulfed in total darkness.

He wanted to grope his way to turn on the light but accidentally entered the kitchen and bumped into something. Xaviera happened to return at that moment, and he didn’t want her to know about his problem, so he pretended to be alright and dismissed her, intending to turn on the lights as soon as possible. However, he ended up causing an even bigger commotion.

He knew it was too strange to hide from Xaviera’s eyes, so what would she think after finding out that he could be blind? Would she consider him a monster like the others, thinking he turned into a blind freak at night?

While pondering this, Xaviera came out of the kitchen. She didn’t know what kind of problem it was for Caleb to suddenly be blind and then able to see again, but she had said earlier that everyone had their secrets. If Caleb didn’t want to share, she wouldn’t pry.

However, having a health problem that he didn’t treat posed a great risk given Caleb’s status. It would be better to find a time to talk to Albert about it and have him check on Caleb. As she thought this, she subconsciously looked up at him, forgetting the step between the kitchen and living room. She tripped.

“Be careful.

Caleb took a few strides forward and firmly held Xaviera in his arms before she could fall. Xaviera’s face turned red as she struggled to get up, only to be scolded by Caleb in a displeased tone: “Just walk properly. What are you daydreaming about?”

Xaviera: ‘

If she wasn’t concerned for his health, would she have been daydreaming and not looking where she was going? He really didn’t appreciate good intentions!

Xaviera struggled to get up, but Caleb’s arms held her like iron shackles. Angrily, she looked up at him, “What are you doing? Hurry up and let me go.”

“Don’t move.”

Caleb frowned and spoke, seemingly irritated by her disobedience. He even lightly patted her head: ‘You seem to have twisted your foot. Let me take a look..”
