    Chapter 14: Taking the Initiative


    to Kiss


    Caleb Mamet looked at her for three seconds, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he slowly pushed the rice


    bowl towards her, “So you’re really not eating?”


    ck Tide’s question made him reconsider. Although his marriage with Xaviera Evans was


    unconventional, in a woman’s eyes, marriage meant intimacy between two people. So Xaviera wanting


    to have more interaction with him didn’t seem to be an issue.


    With a sigh, Caleb grabbed Xaviera’s wrist, somewhat helplessly, “You won’t eat because I didn’t give


    you a kiss? What a temper.”


    Xaviera pursed her lips.


    Of course, someone with a normal sense of taste like him wouldn’t understand her bitter pain of eating.


    “Fine.”


    Caleb’s hand on her wrist slid down. Before Xaviera could react, he had pinched her waist and bent


    down to kiss her lips!

    In that instant, Xaviera’s mind went nk.


    “Dumbfounded?”


    Caleb retreated slightly, his hot breath spraying near Xaviera’s ear, “Or… is this your first kiss?”


    Xaviera rigidly turned her eyes, opening her mouth to say something, but she couldn’t utter a word.


    Seeing her reaction, Caleb chuckled quietly, his deep voice carrying a maic attraction that sent


    shivers down one’s spine.


    “I thought you were so brave, but… it turns out you’re only like this.”


    Only then did Xaviera realize what Caleb had done. It took a while before she pursed her lips.


    Even if she’s slow in understanding romantic rtionships, she knows there’s a difference between


    kissing a hand and kissing lips.


    Looking at Xaviera’s clear eyes filled with a watery glimmer, Caleb tensed up, “Wait, you’re not going to


    cry, are you?”


    “Cry?”

    Xaviera hadn’t cried in 800 years.


    She smacked her lips, suddenly pressing her hands against the back of Caleb’s neck, lifting her chin to


    meet his lips for another kiss!


    Xaviera found that Caleb’s lips tasted much sweeter than his fingers!


    Caught off guard…


    Perhaps three seconds or maybe three minutes?


    By the time Caleb pushed Xaviera away from his mouth after she haphazardly kissed him, his


    breathing was slightly uneven.


    “You, you woman!”


    Caleb picked up the doritos from the dining table and shoved them into Xaviera’s mouth, “Are you


    treating me like food to chew on!”


    Xaviera reflexively took a bite.


    The sesame–vored doritos exploded in her mouth, with a crispy and sweet texture.


    Xaviera’s eyes brightened, and she quickly grabbed her chopsticks to stuff more food into her mouth.

    Caleb: “…”


    Soon, Xaviera’s eating speed slowed down as she took in the food’s fragrance. The familiar bitterness


    returned as the taste slowly faded.


    So, kissing Caleb allowed her to taste the original vor of the food?


    This temptation was much greater than tasting the sweetness from his fingers!


    “What look is that?”


    Caleb covered his mouth and retreated.


    It wasn’t that he was timid, but Xaviera’s gaze was terrifying. The way she stared at him reminded him


    of a hungry wolf eyeing its prey!


    “Um…”


    Xaviera swallowed the food in her mouth and gave Caleb a happy smile, “Just wanted to tell you that it


    tastes good.”


    Caleb: “?”


    Was this woman teasing him?!


    This woman was definitely teasing him!

    After eating a delicious meal, Xaviera went upstairs


    with satisfaction.


    Over the years, Xaviera had amassed a considerable


    amount of assets, so she wasn’t interested in the Evans Group’s belongings.


    However, that didn’t mean she would hand them over to Mag Evans. Since she had time tomorrow, she


    might as well reim what was rightfully hers.


    The next afternoon,

    Xaviera changed into a ck hoodie and strode out of the house in canvas shoes.


    Upstairs, Caleb sipped his coffee, silently scoffing. She was busier than ever these days, even busier


    than him.


    ording to her memory, Xaviera found the Evans Group’s music store.


    She casually plucked the piano strings on the wall, and at that moment, a discordant voice reached her


    ears…


    “Moore, that looks like my sister! What is she doing here?”

    Xaviera pulled her hoodie down, unable to help but think how trouble always seemed to find her.


    On the other side, Mag Evans looked as if she had confirmed something before hesitantly speaking,


    “Why is my sister here? Does she want to buy something? A few days ago, Dad canceled her credit


    card in a fit of anger. Moore, let’s go check on her and see if there’s anything she wants. We could help


    her.”


    “Help?”


    Xaviera turned her head, “Why would I need your help?”


    Wasn’t everything in this store hers? Why would she need Mag Evans‘ help?


    Mag Evans’s expression stiffened, tears welling up in her eyes, “Sister, that’s not what I meant. I just


    wanted to help you… You don’t have any money, and this store happens to be mine. I just wanted to


    tell you that you can take anything you like, it’s no problem.”


    Mag’s words made Xaviera look ungrateful and highlighted the difference in their status.
