My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 73

"Awesome, thanks, Uncle Oliver!"

"The highlight of the auction this time is the annual top ten most anticipated novel IPs. A lot of film production companies will be there vying for them. It's gonna be pretty intense. You sure you don't wanna think it over?"

"No."

Hopefully, everyone else would be too busy fighting over those top ten IPs, and no one would bother competing with her for Realm of Illusions!

When Xanthea got home, she found her family already seated around the long dining table, and there were Matthew and Miranda.

They were back from their trip already? They came back two whole days early. It seemed they really wanted to avoid any fuss.

Seeing her, Matthew immediately ran over.

"Xan, you're back? Mrs. Nightshade told me you left early this morning. Where did you go? By the way, how's your thesis revision going? Did you pass? Also, did you like the photos from the exhibit I sent you?"

He bombarded her with questions right off the bat, giving Xanthea no chance to answer, and she wasn’t planning to.

"Matt, I'm kind of hungry after a long day; let's talk over dinner, okay?"

"Of course, my bad!"

Matthew eagerly pulled out her chair and laid a napkin on her lap, then took a pink gift box from his pocket and placed it in front of her, "Xan, I brought this souvenir especially for you from Willowdale. Hope you like it."

Xanthea glanced at it briefly without opening it, "I love it, anything from you, Matt."
