    21 Chapter 21: The Silver Handgun


    “Mr. Caleb Mamet…”


    Steve Price walked in with a mahogany box and saw Caleb Mamet and Xaviera Evans hugging each


    other. He quickly turned around: “Sorry, Mr. Caleb Mamet. I didn’t see anything.”


    Xaviera retreated from Caleb’s embrace as soon as she


    heard his voice.


    Feeling the empty embrace, Caleb snorted in his heart, called back Steve who wanted to leave, and


    introduced him to Xaviera, “Steve Price,pany assistant. Xaviera Evans, my wife.


    “Hello, Mrs. Mamet.”


    Steve had previously heard from driver James that their master had gotten married outside the Civil


    Affairs Bureau. He thought it was just a strategy for Caleb to deal with the head of the Mamet family,


    but looking at the situation just now…


    There must be something going on between these two, and the so–called sudden marriage was ist a


    21 Chapter 21: The Silver Handgun


    cover!


    Xaviera nodded lightly in response to him.


    “Mr. Caleb Mamet, this…”


    Steve weighed the mahogany box in his hand, unsure if he should continue.


    Seeing the situation, Xaviera tactfully said, “You go ahead with your work, I’ll go upstairs.”


    “No need.”


    Caleb raised his hand to stop her, took the mahogany box from Steve’s hand, opened it and handed it


    to Xaviera, “You said you were brave, right? Then open it and have a look.”


    Steve couldn’t help but try to stop him, “Mr. Caleb Mamet, you…”


    Caleb ignored him, and Xaviera was even more direct, swiftly unlocking the mahogany box.


    Inside the box, lined with red velvet,y a cold–shining handgun with a rare silver body, beautiful and


    exquisite.


    Xaviera’s eyes lit up.


    21 Chapter 21: The Silver Handgun


    As they say, the head of the Mamet family is indeed powerful; even guns can be used.


    Since returning from abroad, she hadn’t touched such a thing because only public officials in China


    were qualified to carry guns, and ordinary people would


    never evene into contact with them in their


    lifetime.


    Caleb stared at Xaviera’s face, not missing a single change in her expression. He didn’t know what a


    normal woman’s first reaction to seeing a gun would be, but he knew it definitely wouldn’t be the


    expression Xaviera was showing now!


    Her eyes were crystal clear, full of eagerness to try!


    Xaviera quickly nced at Caleb. It wouldn’t be a tease for him to show her the gun, would it?


    So, taking advantage of Caleb’s inattention, she swiftly grabbed the gun, the weight and feel of it


    making her very satisfied.


    “Click.”


    The sound of the safety sliding made Steve’s face turn pale, and he stuttered a warning, “Be, be


    careful, Mrs.


    21 Chapter 21: The Silver Handgun


    Mamet, this is a real gun!”


    This was not a child’s ything; it was a dangerous weapon that could take a life!


    Xaviera rolled her eyes. Of course, she knew it was a real gun.


    Reluctantly touching the gun body one more time, she put the gun back into the mahogany box and


    couldn’t help but exim, “Great gun!”


    Seeing Xaviera’s small action, Caleb closed the mahogany box and asked with a smile, “Have you ever


    touched a gun before?”


    Xaviera’s action of loading the gun was skilled and natural, as if she had done it thousands of times.


    “Just practiced a few times.”


    Xaviera retracted her gaze from the mahogany box and spokezily.


    Caleb licked his lips.


    Miss Evans, who had been thrown into the countryside by the Evans family since she was a child,


    actually knew how to use a gun?


    21 Chapter 21: The Silver Handgun


    Thinking about what the Evans family had said about Miss Evans being weak and unable to take care


    of herself, Caleb felt that the Evans‘ family eyes were probably blind.


    With a flick of his hand, the mahogany boxnded precisely in Xaviera’s arms. Caleb nonchntly said,


    “Since you know how to use it, I’ll give it to you.”


    Steve stared dumbfounded.


    That was a gun! Who would give a gun to someone else?


    What Steve couldn’t ept even more was that Xaviera just raised an eyebrow and simply epted


    the gun without any refusal!


    What the hell were these two doing? It was bad enough that Mr. Caleb Mamet was abnormal, but even


    the wife he married was just as abnormal!


    After Xaviera carried the gun upstairs with


    satisfaction, Steve approached Caleb and asked in a low voice, “President, you and Mrs. Mamet…” He


    pointed upstairs, meaningfully: “What’s going on? Didn’t the Evans family say that Mrs. Mamet was in


    poor health and weak, and couldn’t take care of


    21 Chapter 21: The Silver Handgun


    herself?”


    Caleb gave him a sideways nce, “You believe what the Evans family said? When did your brain stop


    working so well?”


    Steve: “…”


    “Do I need to have someone investigate it? Mrs. Mamet, she…” Steve was still not quite at ease.


    Xaviera was so different from the person they described, and Caleb’s identity was extraordinary.


    Putting someone like her beside Caleb would be like putting a time bomb that might explode at any


    time.


    Caleb was silent for a while, then shook his head and


    refused, “No need, she has no ill intentions towards


    me.”


    And…


    He looked down at his hand, thinking about the feeling of holding Xaviera in his arms, which was


    surprisingly good. The woman might sometimes be prickly, but when she was vulnerable, she was


    even more


    heartbreaking.


    He didn’t know what kind of experiences Xaviera hadAll content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.
