Chapter 590: Overturned the Vinegar Jar
Caleb was still standing in front of the door, gently persuading, “Why don’t you come with me to the courtyard and take a look? If you really don’t like it, I’ll send it away.”
Xaviera Evans, who was in a rage inside the room, got even angrier when she heard Caleb’s words.
This man was so heartless!
If Caleb had told her the truth before they got married, that he had an illegitimate child, Xaviera wouldn’t have been angry but would’ve thought he was straightforward.
But they had been married for so long, and Caleb had been hiding it from her all the time. How long did he want to deceive her?
The more Xaviera thought about it, the sadder she felt, and couldn’t help but choke, “I don’t like him. You can send him away, but after all, he is your son! Even if he leaves, it won’t change the blood relationship between you. Do you want people to say that I am a wicked stepmother?”
Caleb was silent, frowning deeply.
…Mrs. Mamet must have misunderstood. That was not an illegitimate child at all, just a little dog!
Thinking of Nidya Hughes’s words, Caleb clenched his teeth, blaming that woman for making Mrs. Mamet overthink.
He thought Xaviera had been to the courtyard and knew there was a little dog there, so she wouldn’t have any unnecessary thoughts.
After a moment of silence, Caleb couldn’t help but laugh and said softly, “Let me take you to see it, okay?”
Xaviera: “…”
See your mother! I’m still angry, and you want me to see your illegitimate child?
Fine! Let’s go and see! I want to confront them face-to-face and see if the child is as cute as he says!
Xaviera got into the car angrily, and Steve Price stepped on the gas, soon arriving at the Lowen Clubhouse.
Entering the villa’s gate, the two went straight to the courtyard.
The courtyard, although part of the clubhouse, was still a distance away from the villa. Although it was small, it was clean and exquisite.
There was also a dedicated housekeeper in the courtyard, a kind-looking middle-aged woman, who immediately greeted respectfully when she saw Caleb and Xaviera coming together, “Mr. Mamet, Mrs. Mamet.”
Xaviera was a little confused. Seeing her, the legitimate wife, coming, shouldn’t the housekeeper who took care of the illegitimate child be very panicked? Wasn’t she afraid that this ‘evil’ stepmother would do something to the child?
Xaviera’s face was cold, “Your son… has Lucky been living here all the time?”
Caleb couldn’t help laughing, and when Xaviera saw his gentle appearance, she felt as if he was exuding the aura of a doting dad, making her jealousy overflow.
Although she didn’t mind that Caleb had had other women before their marriage, normal dating shouldn’t be a problem, and she also had a past with Moore. However, the fact that he had had children with other women was a different story altogether.
Xaviera suppressed the bitterness in her heart and followed Caleb into the door of the courtyard, but didn’t see the child.
At this moment, a young maid came over, smiling sweetly, “Mr. Mamet, Mrs. Mamet, are you looking for Little Master? He’s upstairs.”
Wow! So they call him Little Master!
Caleb came over and held her hand, but Xaviera shook him off angrily.
The man was helpless and said, “He’s not my child.”
Xaviera’s eyes were blurred with tears, “Caleb, you’ve learned to lie now. If you had told me earlier that you had an illegitimate child, I wouldn’t have minded. After all, everyone has a past. But you’ve been hiding it from me, what exactly do you mean!”
Caleb: “He has nothing to do with me, I just couldn’t bear to…”
“I don’t want to hear it! I don’t want to hear it!”
Xaviera interrupted Caleb in frustration. Since the child wasn’t his, and he was still raising him, was it because the child was born by his white moonlight, and Caleb couldn’t forget that woman, so he took him in to raise?
Pushing the door open, the room was quiet.
Xaviera took a deep breath and slowly walked in.
If the child wasn’t Caleb’s, then she wouldn’t have to be a stepmother. Besides, he had said that if she didn’t like the child, she could send him away. With Caleb’s status, finding a happy family for the child shouldn’t be difficult.
Xaviera’s eyes scanned the room.
Where’s the person?
There was no one in the room, neither on the bed nor on the chairs, and such a small child must have had an adult accompanying him. How could they leave him alone?
But the room was filled with lots of toys and dog food. Not far away, there was a beautifully decorated doghouse, with a small black dog snuggled inside.
