The person on the other end of the line said something, and Caleb responded stubbornly while gripping the phone harder, “Alright. So she’s having dinner at Alpine Dining. So what? She left without saying anything. Does she really expect me to go to her? Dream on!”
He hung up in a huff and rested his arm on the half–open car door, his expression obscure.
Then he made another call.
In the next second, he heard a familiar ringtone behind him.
He turned around in surprise.
Phalicia pretended she had just arrived, walking toward him while waving her phone at him. She then hung up and said, “I’m here.”
He put on a gentle smile, walked over, and draped his coat over her shoulders.
“It’s cold out here. Why didn’t you dress warmer? Are you done with work? Let me take you out for dinner.”
Her eyes dimmed a little as she said, “Sure. Where to?”
“Alpine Dining,” he said naturally.
She smiled, agreeing in silence–of course, she wanted to meet Caleb’s wife.
Phalicia lowered her head and sat in the passenger seat unhurriedly. On the way, Caleb seemed absent–minded. He checked the time from time to

time and tugged at his tie impatiently at red lights,
Phalicia knew he was using her to get back at Shevonne.
But who said she could only accept being the used one?
Curving her lips slightly, she logged into an alt account and sent a private message to the most hype–chasing paparazzo in Haerford.
“Juicy news at Alpine Dining.”
“Who are you chatting with? You seem to be in a pretty good mood,” Caleb said with a smile.
She put her phone away and said lightly, “Just a friend.”
Upon seeing the sign of Alpine Dining, she gestured for Caleb to pull over and stepped out of the car first.
While Caleb was reversing into a parking spot, she took a photo of the license plate and sent it to the paparazzo.
It was a Koenigsegg, one of the ten in the world. Surely, anyone would recognize it easily.
Finally, the chatbox showed “typing…“.
The paparazzo replied to her quickly, “Thanks. I’ll be right there.”
She put the phone back into her pocket and looked up. In the next second, she saw Caleb standing by the car, staring into the restaurant motionlessly.
Following his line of sight, for the first time, she saw Shevonne in person.
Shevonne had a delicate, sweet face. If it weren’t for her mature outfit, anyone would have believed she was only in her early twenties.

She was sitting by the window, cating alone elegantly.

Caleb stared at her intently, his eyes burning with reluctance and anger, but overwhelming both was unmistakable love and possessiveness.
Over the years, he had always convinced Phalicia that he was a gentle, devoted, and thoughtful gentleman.
Only when he stood in front of his beloved did she see his hypocrisy.
Underneath his gentle facade, he was actually an unchained wolf.
And he was so scheming, too–he devoured her family step by step and wanted to use her to get back at Shevonne.
He was so…
disgusting.
Curving her lips, she asked, “Caleb, what are you looking at? Shall we go inside?”
Her voice snapped Caleb back to reality. He held her hand tightly and
walked into the restaurant.
The wind chime above the door jingled briskly.
Shevonne, who was sitting at the table, turned around and froze.
She put down the fork and knife in her hands hastily and strode forward.
“Cal…”
Caleb stopped in his tracks and looked at her, his eyes cold and detached.
