Chapter 389 Are They Getting Back Together?
“Wow, Orion! You’re moving fast,” Lucius exclaimed. “Isn’t this Seraphina’s apartment? Are you two living together already? Where is she? Why isn’t she in the picture?”
Orion responded simply, “She’s taking a bath.”
Kaveh chimed in with a chuckle, “Haha! Seems like tonight is the night filled with broken hearts.”
“Congratulations to Mr. Dros and Ms. Cross for getting back together.” Someone else shouted, followed by several voices echoing.
“Wow! Congrats, congrats!”
“You two are a perfect match!”
Orion leaned back into the couch and exhaled in satisfaction.
His love rival had already met her family, but so what? He was living in her home.
Twenty minutes later, Seraphina emerged from the bathroom, wrapped in a thick bathrobe, covering herself completely.
Orion was still engrossed in his phone, a faint smile playing on his lips. He seemed oddly amused, but she couldn’t figure out what was so funny.
Without a word, Seraphina grabbed her laptop and some files from the table, then quietly retreated to her bedroom.
Her phone, which was left on the table, began to ring.
Orion glanced at the screen, and he had a bad feeling about it.
The caller ID read, Emeris.
Seraphina returned to the living room, picking up the phone. She answered, putting it on speakers.
“Still awake, Dad?”
Orion’s eyes followed her movements, listening intently:
“Are you alone?” Emeris asked.
“Yeah, I am,” she replied casually.
With a serious tone, Emeris advised, “If you’re free in the evenings, go out for a drink; maybe dance a bit. Don’t stay cooped up by yourself.”
Orion perked up in bewilderment.
Her father was different from the others. What was this advice?

risky. You should think it through. Have fun, sure, but don’t throw away the entire forest for one tree.”
Orion experienced a sudden shock. Did her dad just encourage her casual dating?
The advice sounded like something a womanizer would tell himself, not a father to his daughter!
Seraphina smiled in amusement and said, “I know, Dad, I still have some work to finish. Goodnight.”
“Goodnight, sweetie.”
As the door clicked shut behind her, Orion sat up straight, uneasy. His thoughts raced. He couldn’t just sit there.
He got to his feet, strode toward her room, and reached for the door.
It was locked.
A cold smile crept onto his face. She was locking him out? Was that it?
He quietly returned to the couch.
He lay there for hours, his mind tangled with mixed emotions and sleep eluding him.
It was only when the first light of dawn began to filter through the windows that he finally dozed off.
Her phone rang, waking Seraphina. It was Olivia.
“Is Orion staying at your place?”
The question hit her out of nowhere, taking her by surprise.
Seraphina frowned, her mind struggling to catch up. “Yeah!”
“No way! Are you two back together? Like real? Or is this just for fun?”
Still half asleep, her mind racing to make sense of what Olivia was saying. Then the realization hit her.
“Wait, how did you find out?”
“Orion posted it on Instagram. Everyone in the circle knows! You two were together last night!”
As soon as Olivia finished speaking, Seraphina hung up. She quickly searched for Orion’s Instagram, only to find it completely empty.
She took a deep breath and called Olivia back.
“Send me a screenshot of his post.”
“No way! Did he block you? Haha! Olivia laughed, clearly enjoying the situation.
“Posting on Instagram but doing it all hush–hush.”
It didn’t take long for the screenshot to come through.
