Chapter 640: Chapter 640: Yigol Mamet is really a little angel
Caleb Mamet’s eyes felt piercingly sore, an exhaustion that made him want to close them. Haunting recollections of his terrified childhood surfaced, turning his lips pale and his breaths quicken.
Even after all these years, thoughts of those dark, intolerable days sent emotional tremors. Back then, Jenny Green had held him captive at Maple House, subjecting him to daily brutality.
He gritted his teeth in the darkness, enduring beatings and verbal abuses. The hatred within him, like a creeping vine, was spreading aggressively, corroding his heart.
The car accident was unleashing those bitter memories, bringing a bad omen. Perhaps ...
Caleb rubbed his eyes, they were swollen, but he kept them open out of fear that Xaviera Evans would notice.
Yet, Xaviera saw the exhaustion in his eyes and quietly asked, “Are you feeling unwell?”
Caleb shook his head, pretended to be calm, but there was an uncharacteristic warmth in his deep-set eyes.
Upon hearing about Caleb’s discharge, Yigol Mamet rushed over to pick them up. A chill ran down his spine when he was met with Caleb’s icy gaze. “Jesus! Your look could kill someone!”
“You both were injured in that accident, stayed in the hospital as a patient yourself and still took care of my brother for so long. I really appreciate your efforts, so I’ve prepared a gift for you. I’m sure you and Caleb will love it!”
Xaviera was on the brink of tears, considering Yigol an angel. Not only did he shoulder the company’s responsibilities, but he also found the time to bring them gifts amidst this chaos!
Once they went downstairs, Xaviera laid her eyes on several pink boxes on the couch. These were neatly wrapped, tied up with black bows.
Yigol ran out and opened these boxes one by one. Xaviera’s initial excitement slowly faded as she saw what was inside.
Yet, Yigol was thrilled: “Do you like the gift, Xaviera?! I took a long time to select these. Since Caleb and I are brothers, I’m sure he’ll like whatever I do! Why are you blushing?! We’re all adults here, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about! I noticed you two haven’t been able to spend time together due to all this, so I thought of adding a little spice to your lives! Ha-ha-ha!”
Xaviera: “...” Someone, please! Toss this ruffian out!
Yigol continued: “Don’t underestimate these nightgowns, these few pieces of fabric cost me a fortune. They are not just for sleep, but also need to be comfortable, in case Caleb tears them apart in excitement. So, I went for the ones with drawstrings, just one pull and the whole thing comes undone! Cool right?!”
Xaviera: “...”
Yigol: “No need to thank me, it’s the least I could do!”
