"Huh?"
"Release the video during the proposal."
"Wh-why?"
Xanthea was surprised, thinking he was testing her. She was about to refuse when she saw the earnest and intense look in his eyes, "I don't want your long-planned efforts to go to waste, but I can't stand the thought of you getting engaged either. You're mine."
His words translated: I want Xannie to be happy, but I'm a bit jealous. However, as long as you're happy, I can bear it.
Xanthea stared at him, stunned for a good ten seconds, until her eyes brimming with tears that threatened to spill over. She couldn't control her emotions any longer and threw herself into his arms, "Orion."
"Orion, how can you be so good to me? How can you be so, so good?"
Even though she didn't like him, even "disliked" him, he silently did everything for her. As long as she was happy, he could endure anything.
What had she done to deserve such a good boyfriend?
Orion gently patted her back, comforting her like a child, "Since I'm this good, shouldn't you reward me?"
"Mm-hmm!" Xanthea nodded, "Anything you ask!"
"Love."
"Eh?"
She was momentarily confused, and before she could react, he had her pinned beneath him.
"Orion, what are you doing? I just changed, don't mess up my clothes!"
He suddenly transformed, no longer the gentle and caring man, but a wild beast with deep-seated primal desire in his eyes. Scared, Xanthea pushed against his chest.
It was late; and after being intimate for the entire afternoon, he still wasn't satisfied.
"Are you trying to back out, Xannie?"
Orion gripped her slender waist, causing her to whimper softly, "Mm. No, it's just...
"I need to go home. If Samuel doesn't find me when he gets back, he'll definitely come to you, and then it won't be so easy to fool him."
