Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 445

Chapter 445 I Am Her Cousin 

“Mr. Dros, please come in.” 

Orion adjusted his collar, giving a slight nod as he looked at her, his expression showing just a hint of unfamiliarity. “You are … ?” 

A new maid, perhaps? 

Katie quickly introduced herself, “I’m‘ a relative; Seraphina is my cousin.” 

Orion nodded again and smiled gently, “Hello, cousin.” 

Thankfully, he didn’t add anything more to that statement. 

Katie hadn’t expected him to smile at her; it was probably the closest she had been to Orion lately. That look of admiration stirred something deep within her. 

“The fireworks just now were absolutely beautiful! We all saw them, Mr. Dros. You really put in a lot of effort.” 

With a smile still playing at the corners of his mouth, Orion stepped inside. Although he found this chatty cousin rather bothersome, he maintained a great deal of patience. 

All for Seraphina’s sake. 

“Thank you,” he replied politely. 

Emeris and his group noticed Orion’s arrival, their brows furrowing slightly in surprise. 

“What brings Mr. Dros here?” 

Emeris turned her gaze back to Benjamin, who glanced awkwardly at Katie. He couldn’t report her mischief in front of everyone, so he simply lowered his head in silence. 

Orion smiled lightly, exuding an air of elegance and cool detachment, pulling out a bottle of fine red wine. 

“Mr. Cross, Merry Christmas! As a junior, it’s only natural that I pay a visit to my elders.” 

Emeris accepted, the wine, fully aware of Orion’s true intentions and not believing for a second that he had come merely to visit. However, given his courtesy, he couldn’t refuse and forced a smile, “Well, you’re very thoughtful. Sivir, please take Orion inside.” 

Sivir shot him a glance before extending his hand. “Mr. Dros, please come with me.” 

Orion nodded and said, “Merry Christmas, brother.” 

Sivir’s smile faltered, and he frowned. “Mr. Dros, I think you should understand your position well.” 

With that, he walked away. 

Orion shrugged, saying nothing. 

Seraphina came downstairs and immediately spotted Orion, her expression darkening slightly.

The handsome visitor took the relatives by surprise. The younger girls gazed at him with admiration in their eyes, excitement bubbling over.

Orion stood there, his gaze meeting Seraphina’s. His smile finally softened with genuine warmth. 

“Seraphina, Merry Christmas.” 

Seraphina pursed her lips, her gaze distant. “Mr. Dros, you’re being too polite. I thought your family would have your own Christmas gathering and that you would be too busy to come visit us. Had I known, I would have extended an invitation earlier. It appears that I did not host you 

you well. 

Orion chuckled, unfazed by Seraphina’s thinly veiled sarcasm. The fact that she allowed him in already showed her consideration. 

What more could he ask for? 

“I was anxious when I realized I upset you. I feared you might be angrier, so I thought it best to come here and apologize in person.” 

Seraphina froze a little and found his words absurd. Who would believe such nonsense? 

Sivir cleared his throat and chimed in, “Mr. Dros, let’s sit in the side room. It’s quieter there.” 

“Alright, thank you, brother.” 

Sivir winced internally, irritated by the way Orion was addressing him. 

They had each tested the waters against one another in the competitive world of business, both shrewd in their own ways. 

Or 

well–dressed appearance and gentlemanly demeanor felt utterly out of place in his eyes. 

Sivir shot Seraphina a look, urging her to come down and send Orion away quickly. They certainly didn’t want to spend the entire evening with him.

Katie seized the opportunity, trying to sit next to Orion. Justin intended to intervene, but a single look from Sivir silenced him. 

Clearly Seraphina didn’t want to chat with Orion for a long time. Katie’s presence was pivotal in that
