My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 377

"What's so important?"

"It's a bit difficult to explain it over the phone," Eloise said, "Are you busy right now? Can't you come back?"

"Not really." Xanthea glanced at the man wrapped around her, who was lost in his infatuation, "Wait a little longer, I'll be there soon."

"Okay."

After she hung up, she bit her lip gently, speaking to him in a negotiating tone, "Orion, I need to go back now."

Orion abruptly lifted his head, and firmly refused, "No!"

"My bestie's looking for me. She works at a research institute and is currently participating in an experiment. speaking to him in a negotiating tone."

"Still a 'no.'" Orion frowned, holding her tight as if afraid she'd escape, "Who's more important, me or her?"

Xanthea couldn't help but laugh at this all-too-familiar question, "Mr. Lockwood, are you being childish?"

Ever since they started dating, he had become like a child, clingy and capricious.

"Childish, yes. So, Xannie, stay with me."

"But she really has something important."

Wrapped tightly in his embrace, feeling his strong heartbeat through his warm chest, she couldn't resist closing her eyes and nuzzling his ear.

Actually, she also wanted to stay with her dear Ori forever.

"How about you take me back now, and I'll come to you tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?" Orion paused for a second, his tone softening as he cupped her chin, his gaze intense, "The whole night."

Xanthea caught the implication in his words, her heart skipping a beat, "No!"

"If not, then you can't leave."

Damn! The demon of lust, a man after tasting the forbidden fruit was terrifying indeed!

"Keep hesitating."

"Alright, alright, I agree!"
