Xaviera Evans stared at him for a while, then took out her phone to reply to the message.
When she first returned to the Evans family, she accidentally heard a conversation between Mag Evans and Moore Mamet, knowing that they were having trouble with computer hackers. She decided to do a good deed by secretly sending Moore her website contact information for order-taking, which solved their urgent problem.
Unexpectedly, Moore was now placing an order on her website, asking her to delete the video files from her phone.
Did he want her to deal with herself?
Xaviera stared at the offered price and thought to herself, Moore was quite generous with Mag. Should she take this money or not?
Not taking it would be unfair to herself, so Xaviera gladly accepted the order.
“Caleb, I have a suggestion.”
Xaviera put away her phone and took the opportunity to negotiate with Caleb: “We’re newlyvveds, shouldn’t we do more things to enhance our feelings for each other?”
“For example?”
“Kiss each other from time to time.”
Caleb put down his chopsticks and spoke slowly, ‘You’ve been staring at your phone for so long, just to figure out how to take advantage of me?”
Xaviera: “…No, I was just handling some serious matters.”
Caleb gave her a look, meaning I don’t believe you at all.
Xaviera argued righteously: “Don’t you think we should nurture our relationship? After all, we live under the same roof, and I think it’s necessary to build our feelings for each other.”
Caleb supported his chin with one hand, his dark eyes locked on Xaviera’s face, his voice slightly playful: “I know a doctor, he’s quite knowledgeable about skin thirst syndrome, do you need me to introduce you?”
He thought Xaviera craved his body due to some kind of illness, and it was a serious one.
Xaviera: ‘
She didn’t want to talk to him for now.
Caleb snorted, no longer paying attention to her. Suddenly, he opened WhatsApp and sent a message to a person with a black avatar.
“Are you in Libanan?”
Xaviera had no way to deal with the tough Caleb, so she could only turn her head away from him, feeling suffocated.
At that moment, her phone vibrated. She glanced at it and froze on the spot.
The person who sent the message was her online friend.
Back in the day, when she was young and reckless, she used her hacking skills to terrorize security centers across the internet. Her arrogant approach attracted many enemies, but she also met a friend by coincidence.
She met Mortimer while breaking into the Thai National Security Center’s network. At that time, they both thought the other was a security expert tasked with catching them. After realizing it was a misunderstanding, they helped each other retreat safely.
Perhaps due to their good cooperation, they added each other as friends and occasionally asked for help when facing challenges.
Although both of them could easily investigate each other’s identity, it seemed that Mortimer and her shared an unwritten rule, silently maintaining their friendship on the internet.
But what did Mortimer mean by that last message? She couldn’t help but send a question mark back.
“Libanan Hospital, any recent trouble?”
Seeing Mortimer’s reply, Xaviera felt a surge of delight: “Are you in Libanan too? Not really trouble, it will be resolved soon.”
As Xaviera was chatting with Mortimer, she looked up at Caleb, who was casually fiddling with his phone, not paying her any attention.
She pursed her lips and couldn’t help but complain to Mortimer: “By the way, I have something I want to consult you about.”
Caleb saw the Black Tide message that came in, his eyebrows raised slightly: “What’s the matter?”
Xaviera typed furiously: “I have a friend who just got her marriage certificate, but her legal husband refuses to be intimate with her. Even when my friend proposed to develop their feelings and have more contact, her husband told her to see a doctor. In this situation, how can my friend achieve her goal of having more contact with her husband?”
Caleb: “…Maybe you should first confirm whether your friend was deceived into marriage?”
He had heard that many men would take a wife as a cover-up for their own issues.
Deceived into marriage?
Xaviera thought about it. It was her who initiated things with Caleb. It would be her deceiving if anything.
So she quickly denied Caleb’s question: “Not deceived into marriage.”
Caleb tapped the table, “Then it might be that the man has some physical issues. Your friend can ask him to go to a specialist hospital for a check-up.”
Xaviera fell silent.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Caleb had been waiting for Black Tide’s reply for a while. Instead, Xaviera, sitting next to him, was eyeing him with a strange look, making him very uncomfortable.
“Nothing…”
Xaviera seemed thoughtful.
For so many years, it seemed like she had never heard of Caleb being involved with any woman… People in Libanan referred to Caleb as uninterested in women, cold and ruthless.
But behind this cold ruthlessness, was there another hidden truth?
