My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 433

She ran over like a gust of wind and patted his shoulder, "Hey! Why are you here again? Was your grandpa late again?"

Orion nodded, his eyes darting around nervously, though thankfully hidden behind his sunglasses.

He was deliberately waiting for her.

"Hmph!"

"I knew it!"

Xanthea stomped her foot in slight annoyance. That old liar, he had just promised her yesterday!

"Where do you live? I can have our housekeeper drive you home."

Before she could finish, Orion pulled out a sapphire German Bearded iris from his clothes. The petals, adorned with soft butter-yellow speckles that bloomed from the inside out, were full of color and gracefully outlined. The flower was stunningly beautiful!

Xanthea's eyes lit up instantly, "Wow, what a gorgeous iris!"

Orion handed it to her, and she looked at him in disbelief, "Is this for me? Thank you, thank you so much!"

"It's so pretty!"

She took it, admiring it from every angle, and even gave it a little kiss.

The iris, in full bloom under the shining sun, was a sight to behold, but Orion thought it paled in comparison to the brightness of her smile at that moment.

Xanthea felt she had received the highest praise and scratched her head shyly. His fanboy filter for her seemed pretty strong!

Her parents and brothers had often joked she was as hard to catch as a mischievous monkey.

"I don't have anything to give you in return. Should I sing you another song?"

But she hadn't written any new songs recently.

"I'll stay here and play some games with you!"

Orion nodded.
