Chapter 641: Chapter 641: Caleb Mamet Refuses to Associate with Fools

Hearing Yigol Mamet’s words, Xaviera Evans’ mouth twitched slightly. He bought so many risqué sleepwear, and yet he had the audacity to expect gratitude? Surely he was seeking thanks from Caleb Mamet!

“Yigol,” Xaviera finally spoke up, “now I understand why you always got beaten up by Caleb when you were kids. And yet, you still managed to turn out fine.”

Yigol looked at her curiously, “Why?”

“Because Caleb never bothers himself with idiots.” Xaviera retorted through clenched teeth. Only an idiot like Yigol would purchase such intimating sleepwear for his sister-in-law, she thought.

When Caleb came downstairs after waking up, he saw both of them sitting on the couch, gossiping while holding some revealing fabric pieces. The sight of their intimate interaction dimmed his eyes instantly.

Yigol kept on, “Isn’t there too little fabric? Caleb is injured. He hasn’t healed yet, and this could stimulate him too much. His body has recovered, but he still can’t move around too much!”

“Maybe we should call it off. Wait until he’s fully recovered. Otherwise, he definitely won’t be able to handle it!”

Before Yigol’s words could even take hold, Xaviera noticed a tall figure descending from the stairs. She quickly looked up only to find Caleb staring at them with a half-smile.

Oh, shoot! Yigol is gonna get me killed!

Back facing the staircase, Yigol missed Caleb’s presence and continued talking, “What’s with that look of yours? I’m just trying to help you two. I wish to hold my nephew soon.”

Xaviera blinked at him, indicating that Caleb had come down. But Yigol failed to catch her hint. He looked puzzled, “What’s wrong with your eyes, Xaviera? Do they hurt? Or are you saying you two prefer something more intense? Caleb seems pretty straight-laced, but who would have thought he’d be so playful in bed!”

“Playful, huh?” A chilling voice sneered from behind them.

Yigol hadn’t caught on yet. He stuttered, “Indeed! Caleb…”

All of a sudden, he paused, a chill running down his spine. Turning around in terror, he met Caleb’s icy gaze piercing through him.

“Bro…brother, let me explain. I just saw how long it had been since you and Xaviera were…you know… and just thought some extra spice might help. I was just trying to help.”

Caleb’s haunting eyes spread a sense of chill, which Xaviera noticed but Yigol completely overlooked.

“Caleb, why’re you looking at me like that? One temper tantrum after another, you should be a bit gentler as a husband. Xaviera’s still here! You’re not planning to hit me, are you! Ah! Caleb, you…”

Suddenly, Caleb’s eyes turned icy. Apparently annoyed by Yigol’s chatter, he reached out and choked him abruptly. Yigol found it hard to breathe.

Yigol was stunned and forgot to resist. Sure Caleb had hit him before, but that was just a bit of roughhousing. Now he had actually begun choking him?

Seeing the situation, Xaviera quickly stepped forward to stop Caleb. She held a silver needle, stabbing it into one of Caleb’s acupressure points in his arm, “Caleb, let go!”

Caleb slowly lifted his head to look at them. His eyes were full of defeat. His brother and lover stood before him, but his gentle gaze and affection were no longer present. He seemed to have become a stranger.

Yigol finally noticed something was wrong, his voice hoarse “Caleb! What…what are you doing?”

The man loosened his grip, his eyes gradually returning to clarity. But the shock and alienation that replaced it were still palpable. Without a single word of explanation, he abruptly turned and left the room.

Yigol and Xaviera exchanged glances, both terrified. “What exactly happened to Caleb? I felt like he suddenly became a different person, like he was going to kill me.”

“He was fine before his discharge. Could it be that he’s ill?”

Xaviera sighed gently, “Yigol, your brother isn’t against you. It’s just that he isn’t feeling well.”

After a moment of silence, Yigol broke out in panic, “Caleb isn’t sleepwalking, is he? He didn’t have this issue when he was younger, you know! You better watch him closely when he sleeps. If anything happens, I’ll have to handle the company’s mess. I don’t want to be CEO forever! It’s too exhausting!”

Xaviera: “…” Great! I thought you were concerned about your brother, but you’re just scared of managing the company.

She lowered her eyes. Caleb drank the blood, and the poison in his body should have been cleansed. So why did this happen?
