My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace

Although Sebastian was a bit cheeky, his adorable looks and the delightful evening he had. provided were enough for her to put in a good word for him.

“Since he’s back now, please don’t be too hard on him. He only ran out because he waited all day and you didn’t show up. Patience and guidance are necessary.”

“Alright.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Orion agreed.

“Yay!”

Sebastian jumped up in excitement.

Who would have thought that the usually stern and imposing Uncle Orion could be so

obedient!

Xanthea affectionately ruffled his hair, “All settled? Now, you need to promise to behave. and not run off anymore. I need to head back.”

The word ‘back’ seemed to freeze Orion in place, and Sebastian stopped his frolicking, clinging tightly to her legs. The Thompson family’s ser vants quickly came forward to plead, “Miss, we owe you a great deal for bringing the young master back. We’d be lost without your help. Please, stay for dinner!”

“We really must express our gratitude!”

Sebastian added, “Please don’t go. I don’t want you to leave!”

“It’s nothing, really, just a helping hand.” Xanthea smiled and shook her head, turning to Orion to help her out of the situation, but unexpectedly, he also chimed in, “Ms. Nightshade, please stay for dinner.”

“But I’ve already eaten.”

“How about some late-night snacks then?”

He was persistent.

Scratching her head, Xanthea replied, “That’s very kind of you, but I just had your airline. -meal at noon, and now a meal here? It doesn’t seem right.”

“This meal is to thank you, Ms. Nightshade, for bringing Sebastian back.”

“Miss, please don’t refuse. It would really bother us if you didn’t stay for at least a meal today!”

“Don’t go, please? Stay and play with me, will you?” Sebastian pleaded.

Caught between Sebastian’s pleading and the Thompson family’s hospitality, Xanthea

glanced at her phone, “Well, right now.”

Seeing her

Sitation, Orion gently asked with a lowered gaze, “Or, perhaps you have friends waiting outside for you, Ms. Nightshade?”

“Huh?”

Xanthea paused, then realized he was referring to Matthew and Miranda, as they had. planned a trip for the day.

“No, that’s not it. I prefer the natural beauty of Willowdale, while Miranda and Matthew like to visit exhibits, so we split up. But isn’t it a bit too early for a late-night snack?”

Sebastian was eager, “If it’s too early, why don’t you play with me.”

Sebastian was about to suggest playing ball but glanced at Orion and switched gears, “Could you help me with my homework?”

“Homework?”

“Yes!”

Before she could respond, she was hurried into the study by a little force of urgency.

Once inside, he quickly shut the door as if to prevent her escape. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“Please, you have to help me out!”

He looked

up at her with a pout and a face ready to cry. Xanthea couldn’t help but pinch his chubby cheeks, “Let’s talk properly, no cutesy stuff.”
