My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 470

Xanthea suddenly got it, about what Samuel said there was a reason behind Ethan’s calm demeanor. But wait a minute!

The more she thought about it, the more it seemed like a trap.

Orion had gifted her brother a research lab, located so close to Xanthea Haven Estate, and it just so happened that Fred and his team were stationed there. It all seemed too well-planned to be a coincidence.

That SlyFox must have known all along she would leave the spotlight to pursue scientific research, even going as far as to invite and sign Professor Fred's team in advance, all while pretending to be nonchalant about her choices. Such a cunning old fox.

"Xan!"

As Fred and his team left the meeting room, Eloise rushed over, bubbling with excitement.

Ethan spoke, "You two catch up. I've got some stuff to sort out in the lab. I'll come back later to drive you home."

"Okay."

"Wow!"

Eloise trotted over, clutching her arm in an electrifying way, practically swooning over Ethan as she gazed at his retreating figure, "Xan, your brother is way too hot. I'm dizzy and weak at the knees, about to pass out here. How do you even manage, seeing that face every day? You're living the dream!"

"It's alright, I guess." Xanthea’s eyes crinkling with a smile; she boasted, "After seeing it for over a decade, I'm pretty much used to it."

"Hey, don't you think you're asking for a smack talking like that? But then again, with such a handsome husband, you certainly wouldn’t even bother looking at other men. This morning I saw..."

She cut herself off mid-sentence as if realizing something, quickly covering her mouth.

"This morning?" Xanthea raised an eyebrow, "What did you see?"

"N-Nothing, Xan. Hey, I heard there's this huge amusement park nearby, wanna check it out?"
