47 Chapter 47: Take Back Your
Words
Thankfully, Mrs. Coriell reacted quickly and explained with a smile, “Far from it, I was just remembering some of the things that
happened when you and Vita were children. I was foolish to speak about the past in front of Miss Evans. I hope you don’t mind?”

Xaviera Evans quipped, “And what if I say I do mind?
Can you take back what you’ve already said?”
Caleb: “...” This woman would never let herself suffer a
loss.
Mrs. Coriell’s expression stiffened a bit, she probably didn’t expect such a blunt response from Xaviera. But
she quickly recovered, “Exactly, Miss Evans. It’s only natural for you to mind. As the older one, it was foolish of me to bring up
the past and make you uncomfortable. May I apologize to you?”
She lowered her stance and invoked her status as an elder. If Xaviera continued to argue, it would make her appear
unreasonably insistent.
Xaviera smirked. It was different when dealing with someone of a higher stature. They could retract and

attack all at once.
Seeing her mother bowing down to Xaviera, Vita exploded, “Mom, how can you apologize to Xaviera! Why should you apologize
to her? She stole my fiancé. She’s the one who should apologize to me.” As she said this, she started crying, “Caleb, how could
you marry someone else? I didn’t plan on running away from the wedding forever. I just wanted to test your feelings for me, but
you actually got married...”

“Do you know how heartbroken I am? You were supposed to marry me. If this woman had shown up just a little later, I would
already have been at the registrar’s office. But you married her... You married a woman who pales in comparison to me...” Vita
cried, practically gasping for breath.
The look on Caleb’s face grew ever dark.
Mrs. Coriell sighed and said helplessly while holding Vita, “Miss Evans, I’m sorry. Vita is just too sensitive and speaks nonsense
when she gets emotional. She doesn’t mean any harm; she’s just having a hard time
accepting the truth and feels wronged. I’ll make sure to have a serious talk with her when we go home.”
“Because Caleb used to indulge her, Vita would throw capricious tantrums. That’s why on the day we were supposed to register
our marriage, she ran away just to make Caleb prove his love for her... I believe that Caleb originally wanted to find Vita, but
then he met you... There are too many coincidences in this world. Perhaps Vita and Caleb were not meant to be; two people
who love each other just missed each other.” Regret was evident in Mrs. Coriell’s tone.
Xaviera subtly kicked Caleb and signaled him to keep his cool. Caleb got Xaviera’s message and reluctantly stifled his anger,
standing silently at one side with a stern face.
Xaviera curled her lip, “So, Mrs. Coriell, were you suggesting that Caleb has deep feelings for Vita, and even though Miss Vita
ran away on the day we were supposed to register our marriage, he would’ve just patiently waited for her to come back? And it’s
just that he happened to meet me on the day of
registration, and Caleb decided to register with me, instead of waiting for Miss Vita... Seems like I’m pretty

charming.”
Just an encounter was enough for Caleb to abandon his childhood friend.
Mrs. Coriell was almost choked. She clearly wanted to insinuate that Xaviera shamelessly took advantage of the situation, but
somehow, this all seemed like a compliment in Xaviera’s ears!

Xaviera tapped her fingers on the railing unconsciously. No matter if it was Mrs. Coriell or Vita, they were both indirectly telling
her that Caleb had an unusual relationship with them and that she was nothing but an opportunistic predator, who would be
abandoned by Caleb sooner or later.
Vita continued to cry pitifully on one side. The whimpering was so irritating that Xaviera considered kicking all these people out.
She was getting rather
bored of this drama.
Just then, a stern male voice came from outside the doorway.
“Why are you crying? You brought this upon yourself by running away. You lost Caleb because of your own actions, you have no
one else to blame.”

The butler brought in a man with a stern face, “Vita, you’re not a child anymore. Shouldn’t be crying over the mistakes you’ve
made.”
“Boo hoo... Dad, I realize my mistake now, I won’t be capricious anymore. I just want Caleb to come back to me. Caleb would
never treat me like this before, it’s all
because of that woman...”
This man was Vita’s father, Boris Coriell. He appeared to be around forty–five, a man of aristocratic demeanor. He sighed,
“Caleb, as for what happened, Mr. Coriell admits that our Coriell family owes you an apology. However, I hope that you’ll give me
a moment to say a few things.”
Caleb’s patience was clearly on edge.
A bunch of people had been rambling on about this and that first thing in the morning. Even if Caleb’s temper were not short, this
family of three would’ve tested anyone’s patience.
Seeing Caleb’s annoyance, Xaviera held his hand and gently stroked it, pacifying him like a kitten. Caleb took her hand and led
her toward the living room, “Mr. Coriell, let’s sit down and talk.”
After hesitating for a few seconds, Boris Coriell, his wife and daughter finally sat down on the sofa, his sharp and steady eyes
occasionally scanning the intertwined hands of Caleb and Xaviera.
