Chapter 124 – Jealousy
Caleb Livingstone has always eaten without talking, and when he got to the table, even in the face of such an awkward meal, he ate in silence, without saying a word.
Esther Deville looked at Caleb Livingstone, who was eating gracefully, and felt that the man was perfect everywhere, and that even such an ordinary action was noble in his doing.
“Caleb, you are not young, Esther, but also returned from school, see when to find an opportunity, you two to set the marriage.” Fredrich Livingstone looked at everyone almost put down the tableware, and only then solemnly spoke.
“It’s also true that Caleb is not too young to always accommodate Esther and wait for her to grow up and have a few more years of fun, it’s time to settle down.” Esther Deville’s father, Victor Deville, concurred.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“Dad, I’m still young.” Esther Deville said with a shy face.
“Not so little, you can’t keep your Caleb waiting for you can you.” Esther Deville’s mother, Aubrey Mann, also spoke up.
Esther Deville just felt she had to be more reserved, so she said so, and after being rejected by her own mother she looked at Caleb Livingstone with bated breath, waiting for him to make a statement.
Esther Deville can’t wait for the two of them to get their license today!
“Esther wants to get engaged, that’s fine with me, who’s the other party?” Caleb Livingstone wiped the corner of his mouth with his handkerchief and looked at the restaurant crowd with poise and grace.
The four parents looked at each other. How could they answer Caleb Livingstone’s question?
“Silly boy, who else but you.” Irene Carlson rushed to round up.
“I already have a girlfriend and will get married at the end of the year without incident, Esther should find someone else.” Caleb Livingstone swept everyone lightly, his voice not loud, but brought the whole atmosphere of the restaurant down to the freezing point.
“Caleb!” cried Esther Deville instantly, upset, humiliated, and feeling a little embarrassed.
“Caleb Livingstone!” shouted Fredrich Livingstone, “What did I teach you, is this how you treat your aunt and uncle?”
“Fredrich, don’t be angry, Caleb just didn’t get used to it for a while.” Irene Carlson rushed to pull Fredrich Livingstone.
“You guys carry on, I have things to do, goodbye.” Caleb Livingstone stood up courteously, nodded to Mr. and Mrs. Victor Deville, and left without a backward glance.
“Caleb!” Esther Deville ran after Caleb Livingstone with tears in her eyes, clinging to Caleb Livingstone’s lean waist and not letting go.
“Caleb don’t you go, if you don’t want to, we can wait, I can wait for you.” Esther Deville put aside her pride and begged Caleb Livingstone bitterly.
“Esther, we’re not right for each other, it’s not a matter of time.” Caleb Livingstone’s face was cold and hard as he pushed Esther Deville’s hand away and didn’t stay a minute longer as he walked away quickly.
“Hmph, Fredrich, how did you give us your word before coming here, and what is the state of affairs now!” Victor Deville grunted in anger to leave, he had never been so embarrassed by a junior before.
“Victor, don’t be angry, Caleb is stubborn, you grew up watching him, you don’t know what his temper is.” Fredrich Livingstone explained bitterly.
Victor Deville got angry, waved his hand and pulled Esther Deville, who was in tears, to leave: “Forget it, it’s our Esther who is not good enough for your son, go!”
“Daddy!” Esther Deville cried, unwilling to leave.
Fredrich Livingstone also can no longer persuade, originally a happy meal, in the blink of an eye has become such a farce.
It’s ridiculous!
Eva Sommers and Caleb Livingstone arrived home one after the other.
When Caleb Livingstone was about to take off his suit, Eva Sommers had a sharp eye and noticed something different.
“Mr. Livingstone, where have you been today?” Eva Sommers asked him.
“Go home.” Caleb Livingstone responds, facing Eva Sommers with a slightly more relaxed tight jawline as he finally becomes less icy.
“Going home leaves lipstick marks on your suit?” Eva Sommers clearly didn’t believe what he said.
Now she Eva Sommers is Caleb Livingstone’s real girlfriend, jealous but eat openly, at the moment Eva Sommers just want to burn this dress.
“It was an accident.” Caleb Livingstone didn’t know how to tell Eva Sommers, who had been fighting every time she and Esther Deville were together, that if she said Esther Deville had done it, Eva Sommers would immediately explode.
“What a surprise, I’d like to hear about that too.” Eva Sommers smiled slyly.
“We have a visitor in the house today, Esther Deville,” Caleb Livingstone explained to Eva Sommers seriously as he looked at her smile, which suddenly felt a little harsh.
“Esther Deville?” as expected, hearing this name, Eva Sommers expression are different, said sarcastically: “Why, in this side of the unpopularity to summon you home, or Mr. Livingstone you forget Last night just confessed to me, today you have to go to make up for your fiancée?”
“Eva, she’s not my fiancée.” Caleb Livingstone corrects Eva Sommers.
Yet he had no idea what Eva Sommers was angry about, and by correcting it this way, the problem became even bigger.
“Not yet, so do you want me to move her position right away, so she can be it!” Eva Sommers had been hurt badly by Brody Gallagher before, and once bitten by a snake, she was afraid of the well rope, and at the moment she was like a firecracker that had been set on fire and had lost her mind.
“Eva!” Caleb Livingstone scolds Eva Sommers.
“Heh, no need to scream, save your strength for your Esther. I’ll move her position now.” Eva Sommers was so exasperated that she was completely unable to think properly.
In fact, this matter is not so big, just Eva Sommers extreme insecurity, there is a little hint, they began to scare themselves, and then succeeded in driving themselves to the edge.
Caleb Livingstone doesn’t understand how Eva Sommers has suddenly become like this, even if it is not understood, but also can not just let Eva Sommers go, at this moment let Eva Sommers go, she is afraid that she will be retreating back into their shells, no one can call out.
“Eva, just calm down.” Caleb Livingstone took Eva Sommers’ arm and confined the person tightly in his arms so she couldn’t go anywhere.
“I’m calm now, extra calm.” Eva Sommers said.
Caleb Livingstone didn’t know how to calm her down, all his tricks failed at this moment, he could only use the most clumsy way, lowered his head and kissed Eva Sommers’ vermilion lips hard.
It kept her from saying more hurtful things.
Eva Sommers struggled desperately, but her strength was too great to let Caleb Livingstone kiss her. Eva Sommers, whose body was stiff, slowly softened under Caleb Livingstone’s aggression, and snuggled into Caleb Livingstone’s arms, relieved of all strength.
“Calm down yet?” Caleb Livingstone said in Eva Sommers’ ear.
“Bad man!” Eva Sommers gave Caleb Livingstone’s pecs a little whack, but William Livingstone was still in the living room!
But Eva Sommers is really back to her senses, and now that I think about it, I think I am beyond ridiculous, how could I lose my mind and be unreasonable in front of Caleb Livingstone because of such a small and insignificant thing?
