instinctively wanted to retract her foot but was firmly held by the man, unable to move.1

Xaviera: “…

For the first time, she felt the difference in strength between men and women.

Just as Xaviera was about to say something, her mouth opened and she heard a click. Her eyebrows instantly furrowed, and she glared at Caleb with a resentful look. He nonchalantly released his grip and said, “I told you, your ankle is twisted, and I’ll fix it.”

Xaviera: “…”

Couldn’t you have said something before fixing it?! Are you mute?! That sudden move was so painful!

‘Can you walk? I guess you can’t, so I’ll reluctantly carry you.” Caleb asked and answered himself, then without giving Xaviera time to react, bent over, picked

her up, and placed her on the sofa.

After settling Xaviera, Caleb called the family doctor to inquire about the location of the pain relief cream. Seeing the cream in Caleb’s hand, Xaviera reached out without waiting for him to speak: “I can do this myself.”

It seemed like her ankle still retained the warmth of

Caleb’s palm, and she would never allow him to touch her no matter how much he insisted. Fortunately, Caleb didn’t fight her for it and silently sat beside her after placing the cream in her hand.

Xaviera: “…”

She felt immense pressure.

She poured some pain relief cream on her hand, rubbed it until it was warm, and then applied it to her ankle. By the time she finished applying the cream, the clock on the wall showed eleven o’clock. Xaviera glanced upstairs, then at Caleb. She thought hopping upstairs on one foot in front of him would be embarrassing, so she stayed on the sofa, waiting for Caleb to return to his room before going back to hers.

Unexpectedly, Caleb, the bastard, just sat there with no intention of moving! As time went on, Xaviera

finally couldn’t hold out any longer. Her body leaned more and more on the sofa until she eventually fell asleep.

Caleb, who was dealing with files on his phone, looked up when he heard the steady breathing coming from the sofa. The corners of his thin, angular lips rose as he examined her sleeping face.

As he observed Xaviera’s sleeping face, he wondered if she had discovered his secret. Other than Steve and some close friends, no one knew about his inability to see in the dark.

It was too much of a coincidence that Xaviera found out today. It would be fine if she hadn’t noticed, but if she had…it would be a huge problem.

The next day, Xaviera woke up in the master bedroom on the third floor.

With blurry eyes, she stared at the ceiling and recalled falling asleep on the sofa. Did Caleb carry her back to the master bedroom?

An involuntary blush crept up her face, but she quickly

regained her composure as she remembered that today was the day Mag and Moore visited the Lowen Clubhouse. After contemplating for a moment, she struggled to get out of bed, found a dress quite. different from her usual style, and put it on. She then applied delicate makeup, put on sunglasses, and elegantly descended the stairs.

She moved her ankle a bit; luckily, she had treated it promptly yesterday, so the pain wasn’t intense and didn’t affect her normal walking.

Steve was in the living room reporting today’s work to Caleb. Hearing the sound from upstairs, he looked up and said, “Pfft! Mr. Caleb Mamet, there’s another woman in your villa?! Holy crap, where’s your wife? She would divorce you if she knew.”

Caleb’s finger paused, and he looked up at the staircase. His gaze scanned Xaviera before letting out a soft chuckle: “Your foot is better?”

Steve: “…” He stared at Caleb accusingly. Not only had he brought another woman home behind his wife’s back, but he was also so concerned about her! Wasn’t he afraid of his wife getting angry? Or had he decided

he didn’t like her anymore and wanted to try something new?

But what could he do? He really liked Mag’s personality, and if she were replaced with a less amiable wife…he felt his future days would be miserable.

Xaviera ran her hand through her voluminous curls, her enchanting figure lazily leaning against the stairs, beckoning to Caleb with her finger.

Caleb chuckled: “Steve, go outside and wait for a bit.”

Steve: “…

Don’t you think you’re going too far? Flirting with another woman in front of him, aren’t you afraid he would call your wife to tattle?

Xaviera was wearing a black, hip–hugger skirt that perfectly showcased her curvy figure. She checked herself in the mirror before leaving; with her current appearance, she resembled a captivating, enchanting fairy.
