Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Veiled Confession

Caleb Mamet had a handsome face.

Under his thick black eyebrows were a pair of alluring, upturned cherry blossom eyes. When he squinted at someone, it was easy to feel a sense of depth in his gaze.

It was a pity that with such good looks, he just had to open his mouth; the words he spoke always made people unhappy.

Xaviera Evans rolled her eyes, ignoring Caleb’s discussion about whether it was easy to support her or not, and went straight to the dining room.

Ten minutes later, the delicate dishes were served one by one.

Xaviera tasted a bite, and it was the familiar bitterness.

In front of her, Caleb held his chopsticks, his fingers with distinct knuckles were like works of art.

Noticing that Xaviera’s gaze remained on his hand, Caleb spoke without lifting his head, “Can you eat just by looking at my hand?”

Xaviera confidently replied, “Just looking isn’t enough, I must kiss it to be satisfied.”
