Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband by Qiaoqiao novel Chapter 23

23 Chapter 23: The Great Swindler 

If Caleb Mamet was right in his guess, after every kiss, Xaviera Evans was able to taste the original flavor of 

the food. 

Liar! A big liar! She said she liked him, but she was clearly just using him as a seasoning! 

Steve Price watched Caleb Mamet’s increasingly gloomy face with fear, “Mr. Caleb Mamet, are you worried about your wife’s health? If you’re not sure, I can ask Levi to come and give her a comprehensive check–up.” 

Caleb Mamet sneered: “No need.” 

Steve Price: “…” 

Watching Caleb Mamet angrily close the door to his study, Steve Price’s heart almost jumped out of his chest. Mr. Caleb Mamet’s mood had been quite unstable recently. It was really like being with a tiger. 

The commotion they made was quite loud, and Xaviera couldn’t help but look up, just in time to meet Steve Price’s helpless gaze.

Xaviera: “Is he angry again?” 

Steve Price suddenly felt like crying. Mr. Caleb Mamet was just too hard to please! 

“It’s fine, he’ll be alright in a while.” Xaviera spoke as if she was experienced in dealing with this. 

Steve Price shook his head, feeling that it wouldn’t be easy to calm this matter down. 

The one who caused the problem should be the one to solve it. He pushed up his glasses and sat down across from Xaviera, asking seriously: “Madam, do you like Mr. Caleb Mamet? You must like him, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have married him.” 

As he asked the questions, he secretly turned on the recording function of his phone. 

“Like?” 

Xaviera instinctively counter–questioned: “What counts as liking?” 

Steve Price: “???” 

“Liking someone means missing them when you can’t see them, wanting to hug and kiss them when you see 

23 Chapter 23: The Great Swindler 

them, and wanting to be together all the time… right?” 

It was hard for him, a single man, to be analyzing emotions for a married woman! 

Xaviera compared what he said to her own situation, and besides wanting to kiss Caleb Mamet to regain her sense of taste, she didn’t really fit the other 

conditions. 

“Then I guess I don’t like him.” 

Xaviera analyzed the situation rationally: “I married Caleb Mamet because he was the only one who agreed to help me on that day at the Civil Affairs Bureau. I needed a husband to help me get the shares of the Evans Group, and Caleb Mamet probably needed a woman to deal with his family’s marriage pressure. So our marriage had nothing to do with liking each other, but simply served our individual needs.” 

“Serving individual needs, huh…” 

Steve Price’s hand, holding down the recording key, trembled slightly. He felt like he couldn’t see tomorrow’s sun anymore. 

Maybe for Xaviera, it was all about serving individual 

23 Chapter 23: The Great Swindler 

needs, but he knew that to Caleb Mamet, it was definitely not just that! 

If it were just about serving individual needs, he wouldn’t have introduced Xaviera to them, nor would he have given her control of the villa. 

“Madam, how do you feel about our Mr. Caleb Mamet? If you want to date someone, would you consider him?” Steve Price couldn’t help but cry. 

After contemplating this question for a while, Xaviera thought she might be willing to consider it. 

Although Caleb Mamet was prone to getting angry and could be a bit difficult, he was still quite cute. 

Thinking of the protection he offered and the comforting embrace from the day before, Xaviera pursed her lips, feeling the urge to escape for the first time. 

She didn’t know how to answer Steve Price’s question. 

So…she found an excuse and slipped away! 

“Madam?” 

The hand that Steve Price reached out only caught a

wisp of air. 

Please, finish your sentence before leaving, Madam! 

He looked at the still–ticking recording device, unsure whether to save or delete it. 

Xaviera went straight to the underground garage, where she remembered there was a modified sports 

car. 

Her emotions were too unsettled, and she needed something more exciting to suppress them. 

Steve Price heard the deep roar of a car engine and sprang to his feet. This noise was… 

He rushed out the door, just in time to see the silver car body perform a drift, gracefully disappearing from sight. 

Steve Price: “!” 

Not caring that Caleb Mamet was still angry, he hurriedly ran upstairs and knocked on the study door: “Mr. Caleb Mamet, your wife is driving away!” 

Caleb Mamet didn’t want to pay attention to him, but 

Steve Price kept repeating his message like a broken record. Irritated, Caleb Mamet yanked open the study door and asked grimly, “So what if she’s driving? Can’t you drive?” 

Steve Price blinked: “I can drive.”
