Chapter 365
“Huh?!”
She turned her face in horror, “So soon?”
“Xannie, time to get out.
“No, no, I won’t get out.”
Xanthea clung to the seatbelt, refusing to let go until Orion leaned in and whispered in her ear with a chuckle, “I’m just kidding.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
“You’ll be a monkey’s uncle if you’re lying!”
“Come out and see for yourself.”
Skeptical yet curious, Xanthea poked her head out, and her jaw dropped at the sight of the sprawling, magnificent estate before her.
Could this be the estate Orion mentioned before, the one ten times larger than the Marlowe family’s in the northern areas of Crestwood? This wasn’t just ten times larger, it was an endless, sprawling, luxurious private island!
“Orion, this place is…”
“Xanthea Haven Estate.”
“Xanthea?” She looked at him in disbelief. “That’s my name. You’re joking, right?”
Before she could finish, two lines of servants in the estate simultaneously opened the tall, gilded gates, revealing a luxurious main villa with four striking golden characters on the entrance–Xanthea Haven Estate.
The servants bowed and said in unison, “Welcome, Madam! Good afternoon, Madam!”
The opulent estate, the gleaming entrance, the and the uniform voices–everything left Xanthea in shock. She covered her mouth in disbelief, taking a long moment before slowly looking at him, “Why?”
Onion looked down at her, his dark eyes filled with tender affection, “Because this will be our home.”
“Our home?” She paused, then bit her lip, touched and amused, “I haven’t even agreed to marry you yet, and you’ve already prepared our marital home?”
“Yep, so you can’t back out now”
Orion took her hand, gently kissing it as if to seal the deal, “Your name’s already on it. If you don’t many me, you’ll owe me ten times the compensation.”
“This naming doesn’t count! Wait, I haven’t agreed to anything, so how can I back out? And ten times the compensation? You want me to go bankrupt, you wicked capitalist!”
“Madam is so adorable!”
“Yes, yes, and so beautiful. I’ve never seen such a pretty girl in my life!”
“How can anyone be so charmingly petulant?”
Look, Young Master looks at her with such adoration, it’s almost dripping out of his eyes. It’s enough to make anyone jealous.”
The group of servants giggled and whispered, their voices clearly reaching Xanthea’s ears, making her shyly hide behind Orion, “Let’s go inside, shall we?”
Orion chuckled, holding her hand tighter, “Alright”
Spanning nearly a hundred acres, Xanthea Haven Estate was so vast that touring it required a ride in a European–style electric garden trolley. Xanthea sat in an electric European–style flower carriage, just about to take in the scenery when her eyes were gently covered by
the man’s tie
“Orion, what are you doing?”
The last time he pulled his tie, it was to bind her hands and attempt something inappropriate under the guise of being Maximus. This time, with her eyes covered in the open could he be planning something even more improper,
