Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband-Chapter 954 - 954 I am Mrs. Mamets gift
Chapter 954 -954: I am Mrs. Mamet’s gift Chapter 954 -954: I am Mrs. Mamet’s gift Caleb Mamet hesitated for a moment before giving a meaningful response.
Xaviera Evans stared in astonishment. Since Caleb would be back soon, why not bring the gift directly instead of spending money on international shipping? No matter how valuable the item, it wouldn’t make much difference in these couple of days.
“Xaviera, do you miss me?” Caleb suddenly asked, his voice laced with a hint of seduction.
Hearing Caleb’s magnetic voice, Xaviera couldn’t help but blush. The longing surged like a tide. She had been listless these days without Caleb around.
Seeing Xaviera’s silence, Caleb asked again: “Do you miss me or not?”
Xaviera replied: “Yes.” Of course, she missed him so much that she couldn’t even think about coffee or meals anymore.
“I miss you too.” The man’s voice was filled with laughter and indulgence. For a moment, Xaviera even felt he was right beside her, embracing her from behind as usual, whispering in her ear.
“The gift has arrived, go downstairs to check.”
Xaviera looked incredulously at the time. It was past midnight. What kind of delivery would come at this hour? Did Caleb have a courier bring it?
Suddenly, a guess popped into Xaviera’s mind. Without having the time to change her clothes, she rushed downstairs in her thin pajamas and slippers. The moment she opened the door, her breath stopped.
Caleb was standing at the door wearing a dark blue trench coat, emanating coldness. He seemed slightly exhausted; a bluish stubble was visible on his chin, his eyes filled with red bloodshot streaks. Yet, it did nothing to hinder the tenderness in his gaze.
He put the phone back into his jacket pocket. His cold fingertips touched her for an instant before he quickly withdrew his hand. “Xaviera, I’m back.”
Xaviera stood dumbstruck at the door, her mind a complete blank. Her eyes remained fixed on the man before her, as sentimental emotions spiraled between them.
“I…am Mrs. Mamet’s present.”
Caleb hastily entered, removing his coat and hanging it nearby. After rubbing his cold hands together, he opened his arms. “Mrs. Mamet, I really miss you. Give me a hug!”

Since today marked five days since they last saw each other, it felt like an absolute eternity for both of them.
Xaviera stood rooted to the spot for a moment, “Why did you come back today?”
“I finished my work today and rushed back. Fortunately, I caught the last flight and was able to see you a day earlier.”
Listening to Caleb’s words, Xaviera’s heart suddenly ached. She was very aware of Caleb’s tightly scheduled business trips, with hardly any leisure time. Yet he managed to come back two days early. It was enough to show he worked relentlessly over these days.
At that moment, his eyes showed dark circles, redness, and his cheeks looked somewhat thinner. Xaviera knew he hadn’t rested properly these days.
Unable to control the choking in her voice, Xaviera said, “Caleb! You’re crazy! Are you trying to kill yourself?!”
The man laughed, pulling her into his embrace and whispered softly in her ear, “I was afraid someone would miss me too much, not eating or sleeping, so I hurried back. Aren’t you happy to see this present?”
Xaviera hugged him tightly, her eyes brimming with tears, sniffing: “Of course, I’m happy! But I don’t want you to be so tired. What would I do if you got sick?”
Caleb smiled wryly, shaking his head: “I’m not tired at all. As long as I think about seeing you earlier, I feel full of energy.”
At this moment, the noise in the living room woke up the resting housekeeper. He sleepily walked out, only to return to his room with an exasperated expression. It had only been a few days since they had last seen each other, but their tearful embrace made it seem like they had been apart for years.
…
The next morning, Xaviera woke up leisurely. It was already nine o’clock.
Caleb was a disciplined person. Even if he worked late the night before, he would still get up at six o’clock for a morning run, have breakfast, then tidy up and go to work. But today, he was still sound asleep, with dark circles evident under his eyes.
Xaviera’s heart ached slightly as the image of Caleb attending endless meetings, reviewing documents, and finishing his work before taking off to catch the flight home without any break flashed through her mind. He had pushed his body to the limit and finally could sleep soundly.
She sat on the edge of the bed, silently watching his sleeping face. At this moment, his face bore exhaustion, stubble peeking through, yet it lent him a disheveled beauty which she couldn’t get enough of.
