Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband by Qiaoqiao novel Chapter 286

286 Chapter 286: Facing Fear Directly 

Caleb Mamet nodded in satisfaction, his knit brows relaxed, speaking in a domineering tone, “So how should you show that you’re happy?” 1 

Xaviera Evans: “…?” 

She looked puzzled, trying to test the waters, “Thank you?” 

Caleb furrowed his brows again. 

Previously, Steve Price had told him that a woman usually expresses gratitude to her lover by a kiss. Mrs. Mamet would certainly offer an excited kiss, at which point he should be somewhat reserved. 

Caleb: “Hmm, and then?” 

And then? 

Xaviera thought for a moment, her voice slightly trembling, “Then, then I kiss you?” 

-‘Something seems off with Caleb. Did Steve corrupt him? What’s he thinking?‘– 

Hearing Xaviera’s inner thoughts, Caleb’s brow furrowed instantly. 

She seemed to dislike the bad idea Steve had given him. 

Immediately after, another thought came to her- 

-‘What is he even thinking? He doesn’t really expect me to kiss him, right? When did fellow become so flirty?‘– 

my senior 

Unable to help himself, Caleb coughed to cover up the blush spreading on his face, feigning calmness, “What do 

you think?” 

Xaviera sneered in her heart: 

-‘Ha! Men, if you want a kiss, just say so. Stop beating around the bush.’- 

Caleb smiled slightly. Not bad, Mrs. Mamet was actually willing to kiss him; she just didn’t react to it at first. 

-‘Wait, what am I thanking him for?‘– 

Suddenly, Xaviera stopped and scrunched up her little face. 

-‘If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have been reported. Zara Woods did it for him, and Jake Lindsey did it for Zara, so this mess is all Caleb’s fault!‘– 

-‘It’s only right for him to avenge me!‘– 

The smile on Caleb’s face disappeared abruptly, leaving him feeling lost. 

Subsequently, Xaviera’s feeling of gratitude vanished as if dissolved in thin air. Just before she was about to touch those soft lips, she stopped herself and hastily ran away. 

“I suddenly want to go swimming. I’m going to change my clothes!” 

Steve, hiding in the corner: “…” 

My goodness! I feel embarrassed on behalf of the president, “Mr. President, go after her! Chase her down and kiss her passionately. She’ll definitely succumb to your aggressive advances! Are you just going to stand here feeling awkward?…Boss, where are you going? That’s the wrong way!” 

Caleb walked upstairs. 

He opened the walk–in closet and looked at the swimsuit he’d bought for Xaviera. 

Steve rushed up, “Mr. President, what are you doing? Why are you…” 

“Shut up, or I’ll cut your salary.” Sean Price warned. 

Steve: “I’m doing this for the president’s sake. Deducting some salary doesn’t matter. He’ll understand my good intentions sooner or later.” 

Sean Price: “…” Fine, I shouldn’t have meddled. 

At this moment, Caleb took out the swimsuit and examined the scanty fabric, his eyes deepening. 

Xaviera was looking for her swimsuit when a male voice came from the door, “Are you sure you want to swim?” 

Without turning her head, Xaviera replied, “What’s wrong?”
