My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 324

Xanthea: "???"

Gone were the days when a mere mention of a want would have Orion hopping to it. Now she was using all her charms to beg him, and he was still playing hard to get!

This man, who changed his face after getting what he wanted, she couldn't believe it!

"Orion!"

On tiptoes, Xanthea reached out and grabbed his tie, forcing him to lower his head and look directly into her eyes.

The girl's face was stunningly beautiful, and at this moment, she was lightly biting her tender lips, her eyes filled with allure, and she called him "Ori" in a soft, sweet voice—it was enough to melt a man's resolve.

Orion's dark, unlit pupils brewed a storm of fierce and ruthless anger, as if he wanted to tear her apart and swallow her piece by piece to be satisfied.

Xanthea saw the uncontrollable madness in his eyes as she wished, clearly losing his rationality. She felt a bit smug and said. "Ori, let's go out to eat."

Her words were cut short as Orion abruptly grabbed her chin, his narrowed, deep eyes flickering with unclear light. "Xannie is so eager to take me out. You wouldn't be hiding a man here, would you?"

What?!

Xanthea instantly snapped out of her smugness as she stammered loudly in guilt. "How could that be?!"

How did he know? Was he a mind reader?!

His piercing gaze scanned her face, as if scrutinizing the truth, before slowly releasing her. "You wouldn't dare."

Xanthea was left reeling from his implied threat.

"Come on, let's eat."

Orion opened the food box, taking out the meticulously prepared dishes. The rich aroma wafted to her nose, but Xanthea had lost her usual appetite.
