My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 306

After a few minutes, Orion finally let go of her.

Xanthea glanced down and unintentionally saw a large umbrella propped up high, and she froze. Her eyes slowly moved, and just as she was about to ask if he needed the bathroom, she heard him say hoarsely, "Come here and dry your hair."

"Okay."

She let out a long sigh of relief, stepped out of the bathroom, and saw a cup of salted caramel macchiato on his desk. Her eyes lit up instantly.

"Salted caramel macchiato?

"With extra cream, my favorite!"

She happily dashed over, her wide sleeves fluttering like a butterfly in search of nectar. She picked up the steaming cup and smiled at the man, "Orion, did you have someone get this for me?"

Seeing her open the lid, Orion's voice deepened, "Put it down."

"Huh?" Xanthea blinked, "Why?"

"You have a cold. You shouldn't drink something so sweet."

"Then why did you have someone buy it? To tempt me?"

"I thought a shower might make you feel better."

Xanthea: Did he think everyone had the same freaky superhuman recovery abilities as him?

The cup of hot macchiato warmed her hands, the lid half-open, releasing the sweet and refreshing scent of sea salt caramel, making her mouth water.

Xanthea couldn't bear to put it down. She bit her tender lip and tried to negotiate, "How about I drink just half a cup? Just half!"

Seeing he was about to refuse, she walked over, gently tugging at the hem of his shirt, "Please? Just half."

She raised her face slightly to look at him, her rosy lips pouting, her smiling eyes sparkling like stars, her innate charm making it impossible for Orion to resist.

He tilted his long eyes slightly, taking the macchiato from her hand, "One sip."

"One sip? That's too little! No, no, three sips!"

"Just three sips, please. Ori~Ori~"

Her coquettish calling him "Ori" over and over made his suppressed desires surge once again. His dark eyes narrowed, "If you keep calling this way, and it won't just be the macchiato I'll make you have."

Xanthea choked, as if understanding his insinuation, shaking her head in panic.

"Sit down."
