Xanthea was surprised, thinking he was testing her. She was about to refuse when she saw the earnest and intense look in his eyes, “I don’t want your long–planned efforts to go to waste, but I can’t stand the thought of you getting engaged either. You’re mine.”
His words translated: I want Xannie to be happy, but I’m a bit jealous. However, as long as you’re happy, I can bear it.

“Orion, what are you doing? I just changed, don’t mess up my clothes!”

“Be good,” Xanthea wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a reward kiss, “Listen to me, okay?”
Orion responded coldly, “One more kiss?”

Samuel gave her a big bear hug as soon as he saw her.
Ethan Nightshade examined her from head to toe, checking if she had been hurt during the two days of filming. But seeing her unusually vibrant red dress, which made her skin look even more porcelain–like, he felt for the first time that their little girl had grown
up
It was such a pity that she was about
He clenched his fist tight
“Samuel, you’re squeezing me, I can barely breathe!”
‘Serves you right. Who let you to run off as soon as you got back without even a word? Samuel hasn’t seen you in two days, not even a video call. Do you know how much he missed you?”

Xanthea’s lips twitched, “People might think we haven’t seen each other in two years.”
“Still sassy?”
“Samuel, Ethan, stop chatting and come put with Xan!” Susanna Lopez Nightshade called out to them with a rare smile, “Ah, today is such a good day. Xan’s back, Miranda’s been out of the hospital for three days, and Matthew has some good news to share with us!”
