My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 203

Indeed, he was such a businessman, not only highly valuing promises but also not willing to suffer the slightest loss. It seemed that she must think twice before dealing with him again, lest she inadvertently fell into one of his traps.

Xanthea pouted, clearly annoyed as she pointed at the hand holding her foot with for a while, "My ankle doesn't hurt anymore, you can let go now."

Orion looked down at her foot, with toenails faintly tinted pink.

How can someone's feet be so attractive that even they could captivate him.

His gaze darkened slightly as he picked up her socks and shoes, meticulously helping her put them on. Then, bending down, he intended to lift her from the bench, which started Xanthea, “What are you doing?”

“Your ankle just recovered; you shouldn't walk on if you want to continue filming later.”

“But, but you can’t just carry me.” She gently pushed against his chest, “If the crew sees us, they’ll misunderstand.”

“Misunderstand?” Orion raised an eyebrow. “Misunderstand what?”

“You know what I mean!”

A man and a woman wrapped in each other's arms.

What else could they misunderstand?

“That they might think we're in an inappropriate relationship.”

An inappropriate relationship?

So, she would think that way too?

Orion smirked, pleased that she harbored such thoughts, even if just for a moment.

“Do you think we seem to have an inappropriate relationship, Xan?”

His chuckle seemed to Xanthea almost like a scoff, scoffing at something that could never be possible.

What did he mean? Both unmarried and of similar age, how could they not seem like that? Did he think she was not worthy of him?

Well, she might indeed not be a match for him, considering how he had too many advantages on his side!
