287 Chapter 287: A Gift after Many Years Xaviera Evans took the bag, which seemed to contain a piece of clothing.
Upon opening and checking it, she wore an oddly subtle expression.
Inside was a set of swimwear, a pink and white two-piece suit. The sleeves were made of mesh material, light and elegant, adorned with a bow on the chest, and a pure white mini-skirt below.
She had just been looking for a swimsuit, and Caleb Mamet had brought one, and the size was perfect, which was too considerate of him.
Xaviera looked thrilled and quickly turned to the other bag. This one had gathered a lot of dust, it seemed to have been kept dormant for quite a while.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe pulled out the clothes inside and took a look at this swimsuit...
Did he buy one that’s too small? Steve Price was hiding at the door, he sneaked out his head and was shocked at the sight of the swimsuit: “Damn, this is a child’s swimsuit! What the hell is wrong with the boss?” “This shookfor a whole year!” Xaviera held the swimsuit, equally stunned. She took a look at Caleb and sighed, “Did you buy the wrong one?” Caleb, unfazed, gently replied, “No, | bought this for you.” Xaviera was confused.
Caleb's ears turned red, but he remained calm: “I bought this swimsuit for you when you first learned to swim. | was hoping you would wear it to face your fear.” Xaviera sank into reminiscence. When she took her first dip in the pool, encouraged by Caleb, Albert was terrified and quickly scooped her out.
She then excitedly told her senior fellow about it, but the senior fellow only responded with an okay. He seemed quite busy those days, sometimes it took him a long tto respond, but she kept sending messages persistently.
Xaviera looked up at Caleb, with a hint of sadness welled up in her heart, and her eyes becheavy.
“You... you still remember.” Caleb's eyes softened, “Just that after buying it, | didn't get a chance to give it to you.” At that time, Xaviera told him happily that she could swim. Mortimer replied with just an okay and said he would reward her. After that, he got out of contact and only later did she learn that he had been injured.
As twent by, Xaviera forgot all about the promised reward.
But he had already bought the gift many years ago.
Caleb gently explained, “After | bought the gift, | ran into strouble and got injured. By the t| was ready to give it to you again, the swimsuit had already bectoo small for you.” “Also, since you seemed to have forgotten about it, | didn’t mention it again.” Xaviera was a bit puzzled, “You didn’t even know | can swim, but you boughta new one?” She looked at the pink swimsuit. She had to admit that Caleb had good taste.
Caleb smiled slightly, “The gift | promised was no longer suitable for you, so | bought you a new one.” Xaviera was almost moved to tears.
The senior fellow was so sweet, he still remembered what he had casually mentioned that long ago.
Xaviera picked up the pink swimsuit, and ran into the bathroom, calling out loudly, “Caleb, change your clothes quickly. Let's go swimming!” Soon, Xaviera pushed open the bathroom door and casually draped a towel over herself, ready to run to the backyard.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCaleb took a deep breath. Although it was only a brief moment, he still got a glimpse of her slender waist and long legs.
Her skin was fair and smooth, her figure was well-proportioned, and everything about her was just so perfect, as if she were a fairy who had descended to earth.
Xaviera was completely unaware of how stunningly beautiful she looked at that moment.
Caleb grabbed her hand, hiding his blushing cheeks. He waved Steve Price and Sean Price away before finally calming down.
After Steve and Sean had left, Caleb opened the door, holding her hand to head to the backyard.
Xaviera pushed the door open and was about to leave when a male voice rang out- “Caleb, are you heading for a swim?” Yigol Mamet rushed in like an excited child, giggling, “Takealong! | haven't swum in a long time!” Caleb's face darkened, he carried Xaviera in his arms and wrapped her tightly in the towel before turning away coldly and slamming the door shut.
Yigol just reached the door when he was greeted with a slammed door. He wore a face of innocence.
