Chapter 1663

“If you weren’t still of some use to me, I would’ve beaten you to death.”Caleb was truly furious.After what Zain said, Whitney would definitely realize that he had been deliberately teasing her the past few days.That would only make her even angrier.“Zain, you can forget about marrying my cousin.”Zain immediately behaved himself. “Oh, come on, Caleb, I was just trying to help. I thought you weren’t getting anywhere with Whitney, so I became anxious, that’s all. I didn’t mean anything harm. Don’t do this to me, alright?”“Don’t disgust me, or I’ll throw you out of the car.”Zain could only behave.Caleb would definitely do it if he said so.Zain tried to help but made things worse.He really never learned his lesson.Back when Whitney stood up for Janine, it was already obvious she wasn’t someone to mess with.“Come on, man don’t be mad. I can make it up to you.”Caleb ignored him.Whitney returned to the office and received a voice message from Yvonne.“I owe you an

That was the first thing Whitney heard after entering Mr. Lionheart’s office.Whitney thought she had been called in for a task, because there was no need to tell her about Tristan’s issue separately.It had already been very clear at the scene.Besides, she also knew a little about Tristan.“You don’t seem surprised?”“What?”Whitney was confused, but seeing the meaningful smile on Mr. Lionheart’s face, she suddenly realized something.“What are you trying to say?”Mr. Lionheart said, “Since you knew ahead of time, why didn’t you report it to me?”Whitney replied, “I asked you, and you said it had already been looked into.”“When you asked me, the bidding had already started. If you’d said something earlier, maybe things wouldn’t have gotten so complicated.”Whitney’s first thought was that the higher-ups were blaming her and she was being made the scapegoat.But thinking it through again, that wasn’t quite right.It was true—if she had said something earlier, things migh

Whitney just felt a little choked up inside.Dianne asked, “Want to grab a drink?”Whitney answered honestly, “I’ve made plans with Caleb.”After hearing that, Dianne quickly left.She couldn’t afford to delay her nephew in pursuing his wife.Whitney drove to Caleb’s place.But she had never driven there before, so she didn’t know where to park.That was when the front gate opened.She saw Caleb waving at her.Whitney drove the car inside.Caleb walked over and opened the driver’s door, even taking the bag from her hand.Whitney pursed her lips and unbuckled her seatbelt to get out.When they entered the house, Caleb had already prepared a pair of slippers.The same pair she used to wear there.“Dinner’s ready. Come eat after you’ve washed your hands.”Caleb placed her bag by the entrance and turned toward the kitchen.Whitney changed her shoes and went to wash her hands, then sat down at the dining table.All the dishes were things she liked.Caleb handed her a bowl

“Grateful?”That word was something Caleb didn’t particularly like to hear.She had always thought that his feelings for her were just gratitude.Which was more or less the same as being grateful.“Mm. Did you come just to tell me that?”Whitney shook her head.She fell silent for a moment.Caleb looked at her. She said nothing, just kept eating the fruit.“So all that fuss, and that fruit wasn’t even for me?”Whitney looked at the now-empty plate was rendered speechless.“Sorry, I’ll go cut some more for you.”“Sit down.” Caleb stopped her. “I don’t want any.”Whitney glanced at the time. “It’s late. I should go.”Caleb walked her to the door.Whitney said politely, “No need to see me off.”Caleb replied, “Okay.”Whitney felt puzzled. Caleb was actually just letting her go.Even after getting back to her rented place, she still couldn’t figure it out.So she simply stopped thinking about it.She played with her cat, took a shower, and went to sleep.Zain came by to

Jisaston was not far from Yelar, and Whitney still had a cat, so she planned to drive there herself.But just as she parked the car, someone showed up.Caleb pulled open the driver’s door, bent down, and got in, pinning her against the seat.The corners of his eyes were red, clearly showing his anger.“Did you forget you had plans with me this weekend?”“I didn’t forget.” Whitney’s expression was blank. “Once I’m done packing, I’ll meet you tonight. I won’t ghost you.”The veins on the back of Caleb’s hand bulged, but he still couldn’t do anything to her.“Now you can’t even be in the same city as me?”He was about to explode, but when he spoke, his voice carried a note of vulnerability.Whitney said, “I thought the divorce was enough to express how I felt.”Caleb had thought that with so many people telling him relatable stories, with her visible hesitation and inner conflict, he could give her some time, wait for her to figure things out, and come back to him on her own.B

Jane said, “Exactly. I told him to eat carrots, but he wouldn’t listen. But when Sparrow told him, he did as he was told.”Whitney greeted Henry. “Hello there.”Henry replied, “Hello...”Whitney couldn’t help but soften her tone. “He’s so cute.”Jane teased, “You can give birth to one as well.”Whitney nodded. “If I get the chance.”Jane hadn’t expected that—she thought Whitney would change the subject.“Looking forward to it.”The two of them chatted about family matters until Georgina called.“Georgina.”Georgina said, “I just got back. I’ll come pick you up to have dinner with Yvonne. Millie will be there too, and that new girl you met last time.”The new girl was the psychologist.But if she went to dinner with them, then the plan she had made with Caleb for tonight would fall through. And she was leaving the next day.“Do you already have plans?” asked Georgina.“No problem. Do what you have to first. We’ll visit you in Jisaston later.”Whitney told the truth. “I di
