43 Chapter 43: The Strangely Cute

After Steve Price dealt with the thugs, he saw the two people standing at the door, staring at each other and asked tentatively, “Mr. Evans, where are we going

now? Shall we go to a restaurant to celebrate the

birthday?” The last sentence was addressed to Xaviera

Evans.

He couldn’t believe that she could still be indifferent

even after being reminded like this.

As it turned out, Xaviera Evans was not only indifferent but also yawned rudely. She was in a hurry to make Mortimer’s birthday present last night and almost didn’t sleep. Now the drowsiness was surging, and she wanted nothing more than to dive into bed

and sleep him through what seemed like forever.

“I’m not going to eat. You guys can go by yourselves. I need to go back and sleep.”

Xaviera yawned as she walked out, passing Caleb

Mamet, who grabbed her by the arm, “No eating, there’s nothing good to eat, let’s go home together.”

Thinking of the messy drafts and all sorts of

equipment that had not been cleaned up in the master bedroom on the third floor, Caleb could guess that Xaviera had hardly closed her eyes last night.
