My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 468

Xanthea returned home, diving straight into wedding prep with her family - trying on wedding dresses, making reservations, and preparing invitations. Initially, she was buzzing with excitement, but soon, the thrill gave way to boredom, and she found herself missing Orion.

Unfortunately, her phone was under the strict control of Samuel, who didn’t let her sneak even a peek.

"Samuel, did anyone call me today?"

"Yeah."

"Really?!" Her eyes sparkled with excitement.

"But it wasn't Orion."

Samuel rolled his eyes for the umpteenth time, gently flicking her suddenly disappointed face, "Get back to getting those invitations done, you lovesick puppy. It's only been a few days apart, and you’re already this restless. You didn’t miss Samuel this much when you were filming, did you?"

Hmph! When she was filming, he called her like eight times a day, practically annoying her to death, and she still missed him!

"He really didn’t call? You swear?"

Samuel casually raised two fingers, "I swear on my dashing, handsome face. Happy now?"

Xanthea was shocked. Samuel always prided himself on his looks, and now he was swearing on them? It must be true!

Orion hadn’t called her. That SlyFox, after gratifying his own desire, he just forgot her, didn’t miss her at all!

Susanna chuckled as she saw Xanthea’s face fall, gently patting her head, "Xan, we agreed no seeing each other for a week, respecting tradition. It’s another way Orion is showing his love for you."

Xanthea pouted, not convinced, "He's not the superstitious type."

Samuel couldn’t help but snicker. Although Orion hadn’t called, he had sent countless cheesy texts. But, after Samuel replied with “This is Samuel”, Orion stopped texting, much to Samuel’s delight.

"It’s precisely because he’s not superstitious, that he's doing this for you, which makes it all the more special."

Xanthea’s mood lifted as she heard her mom say that. She was right!
