291 Chapter 291: Turns out Caleb Mamet Has a Hidden Illness
Xaviera Evans was flailing dramatically, but Caleb Mamet did not react at all. O
-‘Why hasn’t this jerk come to rescue me yet? I’m about to drown here, and he doesn’t seem to care? -‘I came here to swim, but I can’t be too proactive. I need to pretend to drown so that Caleb will come to save me. Then he will lift me in his arms, give me mouth–to–mouth resuscitation, and our bodies will touch. Oh, what a passionate scene!
Caleb glanced sideways at the woman acting out the scene and smirked.
She’s flailing around while still finding the time to think about such things. It appears she really isn’t afraid of water anymore.
With a paced look, Caleb watched her performance and leisurely asked, “Mrs. Mamet, can you swim?”
Xaviera struggled weakly, “I… can’t, glug, glug”
For the sake of authenticity, she deliberately blew some bubbles.
“Mrs. Mamet,”
He spoke softly, “Why don’t you try standing up? The water only seems to reach your chest.”
Xaviera instantly stiffened, standing up straight while blushing all over her face.
“…” Caught in her act, she wiped the water off her face and laughed helplessly, “Oh, it’s like that, huh?”
In her heart, Xaviera thought, this man’s hard to fool. He saw through her charade instantly, so there
was no need for her to act anymore. Besides, her intentions were already quite obvious.
She gritted her teeth and threw herself into Caleb’s arms, clinging onto him tightly. In a bashful tone, she said, “Caleb, teach me to swim!”
Caleb froze.
He could clearly feel their bodies touching each other.
Was Xaviera flirting with fire, teasing him while in her swimsuit?
Caleb’s body was burning, his voice raspy, “Let go.”
She slowly lifted her eyes, laughing coyly, “Caleb, I might not be afraid of water anymore, but I still can’t swim very well. Can you teach me?”
Her breath sprayed onto his chest, tickling him and driving him crazy.
Caleb’s hand lay on her back, feeling the silky smoothness of her skin, his cheeks flushing slightly, “Alright.”
Xaviera secretly smiled cunningly. What a sucker this man was.
She held onto the edge of the pool, her body slowly floating up. Her pale legs kicked a few times as she softy asked, “Caleb, like this, right?”
Caleb’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, “Stop messing around.”
He was perfectly clear. Xaviera was not sincerely wanting to do anything with him, What’s more, this

is only a swimming pool. It’s too casual.
Caleb took a deep breath, his hands supporting her waist, slowly turning his face away, “You’re doing it wrong.”
After speaking, he demonstrated a professional swimming stroke then said seriously, “Now you try.”
Xaviera’s face fell, and she awkwardly imitated his movements for two strokes.
Wait a minute. Why is this turning into a real swimming lesson?
Caleb heard her inner voice and laughed subtly, “Didn’t you say you wanted to learn to swim? Show me how you do.”
Xaviera obediently swam a lap.
But she quickly realized that something was off. The plot was diverging!
Xaviera immediately rushed to Caleb and said coquettishly, “I’m so afraid, Caleb. Can you hold me while we swim, please?”
This swimsuit she was wearing was a two–piece, showing her slender waist. Where he could perfectly touch when he hugged her.
Xaviera pleaded pitifully: “Caleb, I’m so scared.
Caleb smiled slightly, and lowered his head to lean in close, “Alright.”
