My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 191

Xanthea winced and moaned in pain, while Ethan stood by, chuckling, "Xan, I can't bail you out this time. Samuel thought you forgot his birthday and he's been sulking all night, just waiting to see if you'd show up or not."

"Of course I-I'll be there!" Xanthea felt a bit guilty as she glanced at Oliver, lifting the gift box in her hand, "Not just show up, but I also got you the gift you’ve been thinking about!"

Samuel's gaze shifted to the game console she was holding, and his gloomy expression instantly brightened.

"A brand-new Dreamcast console? I heard it just came out and it’s not even in stores yet. Xan, how did you manage to get it?"

Finally, he let go of her, and Xanthea massaged her ears, "I got someone to help me get it."

"I knew you still care about me, always remembering what I wanted," Samuel happily ruffled her hair and planted a couple of kisses on her face.

"Alright, Samuel, I just came off set and haven’t even washed my face yet."

"Even without washing, you’re still my favorite darling!"

"Xan!"

Outside the banquet hall, Matthew approached her quickly upon seeing her, his face radiating joy.

For the past few days, he’d wanted to see her but was turned away because she was busy filming and visitors were not allowed on set.

Today, finally seeing her at Samuel’s birthday party, he realized just how much he missed her!

They used to spend every day together, which he took for granted. Now, just a few days apart, he found himself restless, sleepless, and distracted, constantly thinking of her no matter what he was doing. He knew he couldn’t live without her anymore.

"Have you been alright lately?"

"I'm fine."
