My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 238

"Let go of me!"

Xanthea pushed him away forcefully and dashed to grab her phone.

But, no sooner had she moved than Orion caught her from behind, pulling her back into a tight embrace again.

"Xan, Xan."

Orion clung to her waist, closing his eyes as he fought the overwhelming desire, his hot lips kissing her hair incessantly.

"Baby, my baby."

The word "baby" made Xanthea's face burn red as if it was heated.

Even though she knew he was...

Could he not hold it back? Uncle was right at the door.

It seemed he had sensed her thoughts. Orion's voice was deep and husky, with a plea in his tone, "Give me a moment."

Xanthea blinked her innocent eyes, aware of what he needed a moment for.

"It's odd."

At the door of Room 3002, Oliver tried calling Xanthea again but couldn't get through. He muttered in confusion, "Didn't Ryan say Xan was at Sunset Hills Estates? Maybe she went back home on a whim?"

He hung up the phone. Just as he was about to call Samuel, "Ding—" the door of Room 3001 opened.

Oliver saw a well-dressed coming from inside. The man had a suspicious flush on his face, as if he had been interrupted in the midst of something pleasant, and looked quite displeased. Oliver was taken aback, "Chairman Lockwood? You live here too?"

"Mr. Lopez, are you looking for Ms. Nightshade?"

"Yes, yes!"

His voice was calm, but it barely masked the roughness underneath. It was clear that he had been immersed in something before being abruptly disturbed.

When she was getting flustered about her feelings for Orion, it turned out he liked her too!

And it seemed he really, really liked her; otherwise, he wouldn't have called her name with such passion, and just from a hug he was.

"Ah!"

She used her Hello Kitty plush to cover her face, and couldn't help but smiled.

When had he started liking her? During the Realm of Illusions rehearsals? At the time when she took care of him while he was sick? Or before that...

In her past life, he was clearly infatuated with Miranda Moore, even spending a fortune to support her career in the entertainment industry.

This time around, was it because she had meddled with Miranda and altered her course, leaving no time for them to get together, and with her constantly around, that he couldn't resist her charm. Haha!

Xanthea giggled like a fool, when she suddenly realized something serious and sat up abruptly.
