Chapter 1056: Chapter 1056: Manning Warwick Has Arrived Chapter 1056: Chapter 1056: Manning Warwick Has Arrived Xaviera Evans’ face flushed slightly, and then she raised her head, coyly saying, “There’s nothing important; I just miss you a lot!”

Caleb Mamet raised an eyebrow, nonchalantly saying, “It seems that I was the one who brought you to Cloud House this morning, and we have only been apart for two hours.”

Xaviera pouted in dissatisfaction, “What’s wrong with two hours? Don’t even mention two hours, even if it’s a minute or a second, I would still miss you! But you don’t even realize how much I miss you! It’s so sad!”

Caleb Mamet fell silent for a moment, the smile in the corner of his mouth gradually becoming thicker, accompanied by a hint of ambiguity, “So, Mrs. Mamet called me out just to say this?”

Xaviera lowered her head, cheeks flushing slightly. Seeing that Caleb wasn’t getting the hint, it seemed she had to use her secret weapon. A glint flashed in her eyes as she stared intently at Caleb’s.

Caleb Mamet twitched the corner of his mouth, and was Mrs. Mamet going to use hypnotism again?

Xaviera was very confident in her hypnotism skills, and Caleb was her first test subject, so she naturally believed it would be successful. Additionally, hypnotism had no harm to the human body, so she could use it with ease.

Seeing Caleb’s eyes gradually covered with a layer of red, Xaviera finally breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t dare to control him for too long since Caleb’s willpower was far too strong.

Thus, without hesitation, Xaviera raised her head and kissed his slightly cool lips. After the kiss, the redness in his eyes gradually faded, and his eyes became clear again.

Caleb Mamet looked meaningfully at Xaviera, seeing her look of stealing a kiss successfully. He wanted to laugh but held it back forcibly and smiled lightly, “Mrs. Mamet.”

“Huh?” Xaviera looked up.

Immediately afterward, Caleb wrapped one arm around her waist, controlled her chin with another hand, and landed a kiss on her lips.

“I missed you too,” He said with a light laugh, “So I’m asking for a kiss from Mrs. Mamet to ease the yearning.”

Xaviera was stunned, and the blush on her face spread to her ears. Had she known Caleb would kiss her, why bother hypnotizing him in the first place?

When the couple returned to the private room, Xaviera couldn’t wait to pick up her chopsticks and taste Alvin Swantz’s dishes, her face showing a satisfied smile. However, remembering Alvin’s words, she quickly tried to control her facial expression.

Caleb couldn’t help but laugh at her cute appearance.

Mrs. Mamet was so adorable!

On the other side, Manning Warwick and his assistant had already arrived at Cloud House.

The assistant said with a smile, “This restaurant has a connection with you, there’s even a ‘cloud’ character in the name.”

Manning Warwick didn’t care about such trivial matters but instead straightened his clothes in front of the glass entrance and said somewhat anxiously, “Would Xaviera be unhappy that I’m coming unannounced?”

The assistant hurriedly replied, “Mr. Uland has already told Miss Evans that you will come, but today is Mr. Jerome Russell’s birthday, and everyone from the Russell family is here to have a meal.”

“Ah! I didn’t receive an invitation, so it’s not very appropriate for me to come just like that. Luckily I prepared a gift for Mr. Russell beforehand, so hopefully, it won’t be too abrupt.” Manning Warwick breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand, “You go ask which private room Miss Evans is in.”

The assistant hurriedly replied, “The Russell family banquet must be in the biggest private room!”

He pointed to the most inner room on the first floor, “The biggest private room in Cloud House is right there; let’s go directly.”

Manning Warwick nodded, and the two of them walked towards the innermost room.

…

Inside the Hughes family’s private room.

Since the protagonist of the day, Manning Warwick, had yet to arrive, everyone was just chatting casually and hadn’t planned to start the banquet. However, after waiting for a long time without Manning’s arrival, they gradually became impatient.

A group of young ladies who had come to join in the fun with their families couldn’t help but sneer, “It’s been so long, and he’s still not here. Could it be that Mr. Warwick never agreed to come in the first place?”

Zora Hughes clenched her fists, forcibly pulling a smile from the corner of her mouth but not responding. She just looked eagerly at the private room door, but no one came in.

She had been intelligent since childhood and was the center of attention wherever she went among other young ladies. They were always jealous of her, but she had become accustomed to it. Plus, she didn’t regard them as opponents worth considering.

At this moment, her heart was anxious as if sitting on pins and needles, fearing that Manning Warwick wouldn’t come. If he didn’t, she would truly become a laughing stock among the other young ladies.

Madam Hughes heard someone bullying her granddaughter and quickly retorted, “The news that Mr. Warwick wanted to take in a disciple has already spread for a while, and during this period, he only contacted the Hughes family. Some people are just jealous of how outstanding Zora is, so that’s why they’re saying such sarcastic things. Even if Zora doesn’t become his apprentice, she’s still better than you!”
