My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 413

"Orion, don't worry! Xan, she's at the villa, and Matthew won't find her there."

Before Leonard could finish his sentence, the man had already disappeared from the conference room.

"Sorry, Ms. Thomas, let's reschedule the contract signing."

He hurried out, chasing after him.

Roxanne watched all these in shock.

Ever since she met Mr. Lockwood, he'd always been cool, distant, as if nothing could stir his emotions. But the sudden flash of cold fury in his eyes just now had truly frightened her.

Down KIN Avenue, a black Rolls-Royce thundered past, turning pedestrians and trees into mere blurs. The gas pedal was floored, and the man's slender, distinct fingers gripped the steering wheel, trembling with each disconnected call tone.

"Beep Beep beep beep, Sorry, the number you have dialed is busy."

"Beep Beep beep beep, Sorry, the number you have dialed is busy."

Xannie, Xannie, pick up, please pick up.

Nothing would happen, she's gotta be fine!

"Getting mad over trivial matters, then looking back, why bother? Others may rage, but I'll stay cool; anger brings nothing but a fool. If I get mad, who's pleased by that?"

"Others may not know, but Seb must be quite pleased!"

Xanthea lay on the carpet, speaking to herself a few times. As she was about to get up, she suddenly heard a distant, urgent call.

"Xannie, Xannie, Xannie!"

Orion?

Oh no, he was finally back!

Xanthea released her grip in confusion, only to see his face was as pale as a sheet, his eyes dark and unfathomable, making her shiver.

"Orion, what's wrong?"

She didn't actually scare him, did she?

The girl in front of him smiled brightly, lively, her warmth enveloping him, her heartbeat against his chest steady and orderly. It was real, so very real.

Orion's vacant gaze slowly refocused, his spirit gradually returning, feeling her heartbeat and the warmth from her palms.

"You didn't get scared by me, did you?"

Xanthea stumbled over her words, following his gaze to see the remnants of strawberries, "All this is just strawberry juice, Seb and I just picked them from the hill at the back. What do you think, does it look like..."

Before she could finish, the man pulled her arm away and walked towards the study.
