My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 242

"Okay!"

The whole evening, under Samuel's vigilant watch, Xanthea didn't even get a chance to return a call. By the time everyone had left and she was free, it was already past one in the morning.

Lying in bed, she stared desperately at her phone. At this hour, he must be asleep.

He had called eight times.

And she hadn’t picked up a single one. Would Orion think she was who just flirts and runs? Would he be upset?

Keeping their relationship under wraps was such a challenge!

In the northern suburbs, at the Realm of Illusions filming site.

That afternoon, after wrapping up the day's shoot, Kevin caught up with Xanthea as she hurried toward the dressing room. "Xan, aren’t you heading off to Adventure Blitz: Two Days, One Night soon?"

"Yeah, I need to be at the airport in half an hour."

"Make sure you're careful out there, and I’ll definitely try to catch the live stream to support you. Oh, and don’t forget to plug our show on camera!"

"Will do, of course!"

After Kevin left, Xanthea finally managed to check her phone, and the first thing she did was call Orion.

The phone rang for what seemed like an eternity, just as Xanthea was about to give up, he answered.

"Orion!"

Her voice was filled with joy and a sweet longing, but the man who responded after a few seconds was quite cold. "What’s up?"

Stunned by his chilly detachment, Xanthea faltered. "Are you upset?"

"No."
