My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 142

Ever since Xanthea's coming-of-age celebration, it seemed like she had transformed into someone entirely different.

Gone were the days when she clung to Matthew, made a fuss over him, always thought of him, and constantly wanted to be by his side.

Her world had expanded to include academics, career pursuits, various hobbies, and friends.

In contrast, Matthew felt like he was losing importance, with their one-on-one time dwindling to a pitiful amount. It seemed like he was gradually being phased out of her life, leaving him anxious and uneasy every day, fearing she might change her heart and leave him.

Hearing that familiar call now felt like a throwback to the past when nothing had changed!

This time, he resolved to cherish and protect her more than ever, never again taking her for granted!

"Matt, calling so late, are you missing me?"

"Yes! Yes, I've been thinking about you all day!"

"Huh."

Xanthea grinned, revealing a sweet smile.

"I missed you too!"

"By the way, Xan, where are you right now?"

"Me?" Xanthea looked around, noting the pavilion, walkways, street lamps, small trees, and a sign emblazoned with 'Marlowe' in golden letters, "I'm in the bathroom."

"The bathroom? Which bathroom?"

"One in a really huge mansion! It's as big as a castle!"

Xanthea described with no exaggeration, and Matthew began to sense something was off.
