My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace

Xanthea took a few deep breaths before she could speak again. She was about to scold him when she saw the dark shadows lurking across his handsome face. Only his deep eyes were blazing with an intense fire, as if he wanted to devour her whole. It was hard to guess what he was feeling at that moment. 

Was he angry? Could it be because Benjamin publicly confessed his feelings for her today, challenging him? 

“Don’t get it twisted!” She quickly waved her hands, trying to clear the air, “I had no idea Benjamin would show up at the award ceremony today, let alone confess his feelings. Ever since that day in the dressing room on set when you both walked into the same changing room, I haven’t had any contact with him!” 

After saying this, she even pulled out her phone as if to prove her innocence, “Check my phone if you don’t believe me!” 

Orion glanced at her phone, his expression growing even darker, “You’re still thinking about him?” 

“No. 

“No.” 

not like that. I saw you seemed upset, so I just wanted to explain.” 

Orion pulled her close, his hands roaming over her soft waist, his lips brushing against her hair. 

He was just missing her, wanting her all day. From the moment the award ceremony began, he couldn’t hold back any longer. 

“Not upset? Then why were you so fierce‘ just now? You almost bit my lip offf” 

“Can you blame me when you’re this beautiful? I’m not mad at him; I’m mad at you. Why did you propose to me?” 

She was like, “???” Xanthea was baffled by his triple accusation, “What’s wrong? I propose to you, and you’re not happy?” 

Orion buried his face in her fragrant hair, his voice hoarse with emotion, “I should have been the one to propose.” 

Xanthea’s lips curved up gently, “I said, whoever plants a field of irises for me, I’d marry him. So, the moment you first took me to Xanthea Haven Estate, you’d already proposed. I was merely accepting.” 

“Alright then, Xannie, remember what you said.” 

“What did I say?” 

“Your speech on the stage.” 

“That? Those were just formalities. Ah!” 

Before she could finish, she felt his hands teasing her waist, forcing her to plead for mercy, “I was wrong, I remember” 

“Repeat it.” 

“Do I have to? It’s too cheesy!” 

“Are you going to say it or not?” 

Orion had discovered her ticklish spot, using it to tease her into submission. She couldn’t stop laughing and had no choice but to repeat her confession that time. 

Listening to those words, Orion felt a warm pleasure, “Xannie, don’t you forget. If you do, everyone will know you’re heartless. “Heartless or not, depends on how you’ll treat me.” 

“Xannie, you can have whatever you want, even my heart,” he whispered in her ear, his voice warm and husky, making Xanthea blush and her heart race. 

“Who wants your heart you’re even cheesier 

“By the way, Orion, why the rush to get married? Don’t tell me it’s just because I beat you to the proposal and you can’t stand being second? 

“Because, Orion gently lifted her face, planting a deep kiss on her forehead want to spend every Christones together with you! 

Xanther had thought of many reasons, but she hadnx expected something to bimantic
