My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 314

"Who's the little minx touching my leg under the table just now?"

"?!"

Xanthea's eyes widened, their amber gleam practically shouting innocence, "Who touched you? That was a poke to make you get up!"

Orion relaxed his brows, his gaze softened with a hint of amusement, "I got up now, babe. Are you satisfied now?"

Following his gaze, Xanthea shivered, her cheeks flushing. She reached out to pinch his waist, but found his muscles too hard to pinch. Was this man made of iron or what?

"You're always bullying me!"

"So are you, babe. And you know how to deceive people, like a sly little fox."

Orion scooped her up and walked to the sofa, gently pressing his forehead against hers. His eyes, which had held a trace of smile, gradually turned cold and dark, as if ready to settle scores.

Xanthea looked puzzled, "Deceive you?" The guilty is accusing the innocent? Wasn’t he the one deceiving her? He had bought the clothes but lied about it

"Matthew's planning to propose to you in the next few days?"

"Ah." Xanthea waved her hands frantically at his words, distancing herself from the situation, "I had no idea, honestly! I just heard Samuel mention it, same as you."

"He wanted to surprise you?"

"Surprise? It's more like a shock. I'd definitely refuse him! No, I wouldn't even give him a chance to propose. It’s too disgusting!"

In her past life and this one, it all went out like this.

In her past life, he got Miranda pregnant and then married her.
