My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 397

"Uncle, let go of me, let go! I wanna go play with the pretty sister!"

Sebastian squirmed and kicked his little legs in protest, struggling to break free. Orion's brows knitted together, his voice cold and firm, "You're not allowed to call her 'pretty sister' anymore."

"Then what should I call her?"

"Auntie."

"Ah?" Sebastian's mouth gaped open in shock, his little face crumpling as he burst into tears. "No, Uncle's the big bad guy, stealing my pretty sister away!"

"Pretty sister promised to be my wife when I grow up!"

"Smack!"

"Waaah! Mommy, Uncle spanked me!"

His uncle had stolen his future wife and now spanked him, just like a villain out of a comic book!

Octavia covered her mouth and laughed, while Leonard walked over to pinch Sebastian's chubby little face, "Indeed, nephew follows his uncle, huh? Even your tastes are exactly the same."

Sebastian pouted, "I liked the pretty sister first. Uncle's stealing my love!"

"Are you sure?" Leonard raised an eyebrow. "As far as I know, your uncle fell for Xan when you weren't even as old as you are now."

"Liar!"

Octavia chimed in, "Orion, didn't you tell Xan we were coming?"

"No."

He had wanted to surprise her, but ended up being surprised himself.

If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn't have invited them over.

"You should have told Xan in advance; now she's so embarrassed."

"It's fine. You guys may go to the living room first."

"Even acting so seductive."

Xanthea coughed awkwardly, cutting off the latter half of his catwoman comment.

"Tsk, tsk, you've had this day, huh?"

Back when she left Marlowe Manor with Matthew, no matter how he tried to persuade her, she wouldn't even spare Orion a glance. Leonard remembered it all too well: that miserable scene was even more heartbreaking than his own breakup.

"Ori."

Xanthea, already embarrassed, was repeatedly ridiculed by him, and she walked over in a huff, pulling lightly on Orion's sleeve. Orion's sharp and cold. gaze immediately swept toward him, "Shut up."

Leonard: "???"

"What? Orion, don't you have a conscience? Who was it that stood by you, huh? I'm now standing up for you!"

Xanthea bit her lip and cooed, "Ori, let's go find your sister, please."
