My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 260

Xanthea bit her lip, her wet eyes blinking innocently, making her look pure and pitiable. "Maybe I should talk to him, ask him to look after my sister a bit more."

"Who needs your charity!"

Olivia was fuming at Xanthea's fake innocent act, but she held back her anger as the live stream camera swung towards her.

She wanted to tear her mouth out!

"It must be because Xan is just too adorable!"

Olivia was livid, but Nelson was captivated by her vulnerable façade. He always had a thing for the sweet, frail girls who seemed like they needed protection. Just as he was about to lean in and continue their conversation, a familiar voice halted him.

"Nelson."

Nelson stiffened and turned slowly to see Orion not far off, murmuring to himself, "Why does Mr. Lockwood always single me out? Could he be into me? No way, right?"

There were always rumors in the entertainment industry about top executives having a thing for supporting male stars, and now it seemed to be his turn. Though he had acted in a romance drama, he was straight!

Nelson quickly approached Orion, and upon seeing Orion's stern, handsome face, his resolve wavered.

If it were anyone else, maybe not, but Mr. Lockwood...

"Mr. Lockwood, did you need something?"

"Thirsty?"

Orion pulled a bottle of mineral water from an ice bucket.

After 40 minutes in the sun, Nelson was parched and overheated. Seeing the ice-cold water, his eyes lit up. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I am!"

Orion twisted off the cap.

In his excitement, Nelson nearly lost all his composure.

With Mr. Lockwood being so handsome and considerate, if he wanted to bend the rules for him, he was willing!

Xanthea, puzzled, looked over, wondering what they were talking about when Isabella nudged her arm.
