My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 361

“Hmph, you big meanie, always bullying me.”

In her room, Xanthea was packing a Hello Kitty toy into her suitcase when she heard Zora’s voice from outside, “Miss, Mr. Lockwood is leaving. Master and Madam asked you to go and say goodbye. They are in the back garden.”

“What?!”

“What?!”

He’s leaving so soon? He must be angry!

In the back garden, a man of striking posture stood before a mutated iris, gently caressing its withered stems and leaves.

“Orion!”

He turned around and saw the girl running over, breathless, pulling a red suitcase. His expression momentarily froze, “Xannie?”

“Ethan and Samuel are too much. Let’s ignore them and go back to Sunset Hills Estates together!”

No sooner had she spoken than the man’s puzzled look turned into one of deep, fervent intensity. He stepped forward quickly and pulled her into a tight embrace.

“Ah!”

Xanthea was caught off guard, her heart skipping a beat.

He must have been sad and hurt after having his scars revealed by her brother, so that he’s seeking comfort from her.

“Ori, don’t be sad, don’t be sad. Xannie will protect you!”

She reached out and gently patted his back, as if comforting a wounded child.

Orion, with his face buried in her dark, silky hair, felt the cold gloom in his heart dissipate the moment he saw her, heard her voice, and breathed in her scent.

His Xannie, was she really not an angel in disguise?

How could she be so good.

Xanthea: “Orion, if you’re really upset, you can cry. I won’t make fun of you.”

“Heh.”

Before she could finish, he let out a soft chuckle.

Xanthea: “?” Did he lose his mind?

“I’m too happy to be upset.”

“Huh? Big brother revealed your wounds, you’re not angry?”

Those wounds had long been healed by you.

“But Xan defended me and argued for me.”

Little did she know, it took all his restraint not to kiss her in front of everyone.
