Caleb Mamet was very clear about the condition of his body – he was healthy, but what confused him was whether he and Xaviera Evans had always slept in the same bed before.

“Did we… used to sleep together?”

Steve Price looked horrified: “Boss, have you lost your memory? You are husband and wife, of course you sleep together!”

Sleeping together? But didn’t Caleb not like Xaviera? Why would they sleep together then? Did they have to pretend to be loving even at home and in front of Steve Price?

If they had been sleeping in the same bed all this time, why did Xaviera suddenly want to move back? Had she noticed something, or was Caleb hiding too deeply?

Caleb thought it best to ask Sean Price, his close assistant, who should know the inside story.

But as he was about to leave, Steve Price rushed over and grabbed his arm, “Boss, you’ve been acting really strange lately!”

Caleb looked up, “What’s wrong?”

Steve Price pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked shocked, “I said you’re screwed up, and you’re not even angry? You haven’t docked anyone’s pay in ages!”

The living room fell silent, and as Caleb watched Steve Price’s astonished expression, he frowned once more. Had he always been the kind to deduct his subordinates’ wages before?

Caleb made a silent resolution and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t dock your pay in the future.”

After speaking, he walked to his bedroom, but hesitated and turned towards Xaviera’s bedroom door instead.

The corridor was dimly lit, and Caleb knew that the other him was terrified of the dark. Even during the wee hours, the Lowen Clubhouse’s corridors were always lit. It seemed to have become a habit for the servants, but the corridor lights were now off, plunging the entire villa into darkness.

Hadn’t the previous Caleb been used to brightly lit spaces? Why didn’t anyone find it strange that the villa was so dark now?

Caleb took out his phone and called Sean Price.

Sean Price was startled, “Boss, I thought you had already recovered? Did the poison relapse?”

Previously, the boss’ eyes couldn’t bear darkness, but the mistress seemed to have cured the poison in his body. Although he hadn’t fully recovered, at least he wouldn’t go blind in the dark anymore.

Caleb’s mind was a bit muddled. It seemed that he had lost some memories. Was the poison in Caleb’s body cured? Was it Xaviera who had cured him?

Without asking any more questions, Caleb seemed to have found the answer in his heart. Since Xaviera was willing to save Caleb, it meant that their relationship wasn’t that bad. Had he misunderstood the other man’s treatment of her?

At this moment, he felt as if he had lost his reason for existing. Previously, his existence was to protect Xaviera. He wouldn’t let her be bullied, but now that he knew the truth, did he still need to continue occupying this body?

…

The next day, early morning.

Caleb slowly opened his eyes, which gradually regained their clarity. For some reason, he felt a vague sense of loss and sadness in his heart, as if he had lost something important.

He reached out to the other side of the bed, but Xaviera wasn’t there. There was no trace of warmth in the bed, as if she had left long ago.

After getting dressed, Caleb left the bedroom and bumped into Steve Price.

Remembering the boss’ promise not to dock his pay from now on, a cheeky Steve Price said, “Boss, you slept in an empty bed all by yourself till now. Did you do something bad last night?”

Unmoved, Caleb simply said, “Steve Price.”

“Huh?”

“How many days have I not docked your pay?”

Steve Price: “??” Didn’t he say he wouldn’t dock his pay anymore? The boss doesn’t keep his word!

Caleb pursed his lips and asked, “Why did the mistress move back to the secondary bedroom?”

Hearing his question, Steve Price disdainfully said, “I wanted to ask you that too! She moved back a week ago, it must be because you made her angry. What exactly happened between you two? Tell me, and I’ll help you figure out a way to get her to forgive you.”

A week ago? But they had fallen asleep together just last night!

Caleb suddenly felt that something was amiss, and a tinge of anxiety flashed through his eyes.

Had Xaviera moved out of the master bedroom because she already knew of the other personality within him?

In the past, the other personality only emerged when he was being bullied or when in danger. So why had it suddenly taken over his body this time?

At that moment, Xaviera emerged from her room, looking at Caleb for a moment before pausing.

“Caleb?” As Xaviera’s eyes met his, she could feel the tenderness and emotions overflowing from his gaze, and her eyes grew hot with tears. Overwhelmed, she ran towards him and threw herself into his arms, “Caleb!”
