Both Xavier and Jorge suspected they had misheard him.


    After reacting, they still couldn''t quite believe it.


    Yet Caleb''s reaction didn''t look like he was joking at all.


    And given his personality, they both knew he wasn''t someone who would joke about something like this.


    Xavier swallowed hard. "Then you "


    The other party was already married.


    What was he supposed to do about that? Could it be that... He really intended to


    step into someone else''s marriage?


    Although, given Caleb''s conditions, if he truly wanted to pry someone away, it probably wouldn''t be difficult, but—


    Caleb said, "She''s about to get divorced."


    After speaking, seeing the looks on their faces, and afraid they might


    misunderstand, he added, "They were already preparing for a divorce to begin with."


    With Caleb saying this, Xavier and Jorge naturally believed him. Hearing that, they both let out a sigh of relief.


    Once their tension eased, Xavier immediately slipped back into gossip mode. "So, who is she?"


    After all these years, he''d never seen Caleb show interest in any woman. He was extremely curious.


    Not just Xavier, even Jorge was quite curious.


    Caleb lowered his gaze and, without drawing attention to it, nced toward Jorge. After taking a sip of his drink, he said, "I''ll tell you when the timing is right."


    Xavier reacted immediately, excitement shing across his face. "So, Jorge and I know her too?"


    Thinking of Celeste, Caleb smiled faintly. "You know her, but you''re probably not close."


    Xavier and Jorge became quiet.


    They both knew her but weren''t close? This range was way too broad.


    They racked their brains and guessed several times in a row, but each time Caleb


    shook his head. Not wanting them to keep guessing, Caleb shifted the topic.


    Although they were out drinking, none of them drank too much.


    Near midnight, they prepared to leave.


    lie


    As they were leaving, Xavier lowered his voice and said to Jorge, "Even though I don''t think Caleb would I about this, when he says that the woman''s divorce has nothing to with him, I''m not sure I buy it It''s also possible that the woman herself is lying—"


    Jorge understood what he meant.


    That was indeed possible.


    Caleb''s overall conditions were excellent. There weren''t many women who could truly resist him.


    Xavier continued, "And did you notice? When Caleb mentioned that woman, the look on his face... You can tell he really likes her."


    Jorge had noticed as well.


    But this was Caleb''s own business.


    They couldn''t interfere too much.


    ...


    The next morning, when Celeste arrived downstairs at herpany and had just gotten out of the Car, she saw. Caleb get out & a car hot far away and walk toward her.


    Celeste stopped in her tracks.


    of


    Caleb walked up to her. "Do you have time to have lunch together?"


    Celeste reflexively refused. "Sorry, I—"


    Naturally, she did have time for lunch.


    But because she understood the reason Caleb was asking her out, she could only pretend she wasn''t free.


    Yet before the words "I have


    something at noon" could leave ker


    mouth, she paused when she met


    Caleb''s gaze. From the smiling look in his eyes, she could tell that he knew she was making an excuse.


    Caleb had just returned from the military base yesterday and had contacted Matthias immediately.


    So he knew that up to now, Celeste still hadn''t gotten divorced.


    From Matthias''s words, it seemed the issuey on the man''s side.


    He had always wanted to wait until after her divorce to pursue her properly.


    But he hadn''t expected that this wait wouldst half a year.


    And that even now, they still hadn''t gotten divorced.
