Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband by Qiaoqiao novel Chapter 148

148 Chapter One Hundred and Forty–Eight: What Is Love 

Steve Price was taken aback, “But your eyes…” 

Mr. Caleb Mamet’s eyes would become blind in the dark, such a dark place as a dark cell… 

“It’s alright.” 

Caleb Mamet closed his eyes: “She would be scared to 

be there alone.” 

Steve Price did not try to persuade him anymore. He believed that Mr. Mamet had already slipped in, and was now willing to go into the dark cell for his wife. 

In the dark cell, Xaviera Evans was leisurely talking with Albert, while silently calculating the time of Yvette and her group’s poison onset. At that moment, a ray of light came from the entrance of the cell, accompanied by a man’s deep voice, “Xaviera.” 

It was Caleb. 

Xaviera was surprised. Was she hallucinating? Did she just hear Caleb’s voice? Wasn’t he in a meeting? The

kind of meeting that would last for several hours. 

Yet, from over there came a clear voice again: “Xaviera, are you there?” 

Having seemingly received no response for a long time, the person outside lost their patience and directly pushed the door and entered. Xaviera was stunned for a moment, looking at the figure that stumbled into the dark cell, she felt a bit perplexed. 

If she remembered correctly, Caleb would become blind in the dark right? Knowing his condition, why would he come in? 

Not getting a response from Xaviera for a while, Caleb furrowed his brows. Could it be she’s already left? Was she taken away by Mrs. Mamet to be dealt with by the family law? 

Caleb’s breathing suddenly grew ragged, “Xaviera!” 

Hearing the strange tone in his voice, Xaviera stopped being stunned and immediately stood up and walked towards him, “Don’t worry, I’m here…” 

Before she could finish speaking, she was suddenly embraced by him. His hot breath was on her neck, as

Caleb inhaled her familiar scent his rapidly beating heart slowly calmed down. 

Feeling his large hand tightly around her waist, Xaviera uncomfortably moved her body, but did not struggle to break free, feeling helpless she could only maintain this strange posture and ask, “Why are you here? Did you come here especially to fetch me?” 

Caleb originally wanted to say “Why are you so st* pid, got trapped in a dark cell by that old woman Mrs. Mamet“, but after hearing what Xaviera had to say, he wisely swallowed down his words. 

At this moment, he doesn’t want to say much, as long as he confirmed that she was safe, his heart would be at peace. Xaviera felt a bit embarrassed, she could sense that Caleb was actually worried about her, but entering the dark cell was part of her plan to deal with Yvette and the others… what she did not expect was 

that Caleb would be this concerned about her. 

Not knowing what to say for the moment, Xaviera stammered out, “Didn’t you have a meeting? You didn’t just leave halfway through did you? Don’t worry, I’m fine. Mrs. Mamet doesn’t dare to keep me here for too

long, at most a few hours, she will definitely let me out before you return.” 

Hearing her say this only made Caleb even more 

angry, “What if I return very late? Xaviera, you’re now my wife. If you’re in danger, as your lawful husband, it’s my duty to protect you.” 

Xaviera opened her mouth to say that’s not how it is, they were only a superficial couple, there is no need to act like a real loving couple with the one giving the other one support, this kind of situation does not need 

to occur between them. 

But given the circumstances were too special, Xaviera felt that if she was to voice out these thoughts, it would definitely make Caleb angry, and so, she swallowed these words
