"Orion's here?"
"Where? Where is he?"
She ran to the railing of the hallway and saw a striking figure standing in the living room.
Today, he was wearing an Elegance Craft Tailored Suit with the crystal cufflinks she had given him. He looked impeccably dressed, elegant, and noble, his grace and elegance making his already handsome features even more captivating.
"Orion!"
She called out happily, drawing the attention of three pairs of eyes downstairs.
"Xannie."
Unable to hold back her excitement, Xanthea ran downstairs in her slippers.
But because she was moving so fast, she slipped on the last few steps and fell forward, "Ahâ"
Orion, Ethan, and Samuel, alarmed by her fall, rushed to catch her.
The next moment, Xanthea found herself in a broad chest that smelled faintly of pine, and she contentedly hugged his waist tightly.
"Xannie, are you okay?"
Orion worriedly checked her up and down. Xanthea, nestled in his arms, whined pitifully like a wounded kitten, "It hurts."
"Where does it hurt?"
He frowned and was about to check her ankle, when Xanthea pointed at her chest, "Here, it hurts because I missed you so much!"
Orion paused. Following her hand, his dark eyes softened.
"I missed you too."
"Really?"
Xanthea, wrapping her arms around his neck, was about to speak when a suppressed angry voice interrupted, "Am I invisible to you two or what?"
"?!" Xanthea turned her head and looked at the person curiously, "Samuel, when did you get here?"
Samuel gritted his teeth, his face twisted with jealousy.
Xan used to favor him the most, always cuddling and playing with him, but now her attention had been completely stolen by Orion. This schemer! Not only were they being lovey-dovey right in front of him, but she also didnât even see him!
Initially, Samuel had decided to be nicer to Orion after being scolded by his older brother yesterday. But now, seeing this, he felt the rivalry was inevitable!
Xanthea looked at him innocently and curiously, while in her heart, little devil wings flapped gleefully.
It was intentional. After all, Samuel had bullied Orion yesterday. Today, with her around, nobody could touch Orion, not even a hair on his head!
"Everyone's standing firm now, why are you still holding on?"
Xanthea clutched her head, "Oh dear, I ran too fast and felt a bit dizzy."
Samuel saw right through her scheme, "Xan, you've been running around since early morning, with your hair a mess and your face unwashed. Don't you stink?"
"?!?"
Xanthea was shocked and sniffed herself. Above her, a rich, magnetic laugh sounded, "You don't stink; just a milky fragrance."
"Ha, Orion's the best!"
Susanna: "Xan, hurry upstairs, wash up and get ready. Mr. Lockwood is a guest; we should be polite."
"Okay!"
"Mr. Lockwood, please, have a seat."
Orion's gaze lingered on the girl's figure before turning back, "Please don't be so formal, you can just call me Orion."
Christopher: "Well."
Seeing the situation, Cedric quickly put down the gift box he was holding, "Mr. Lockwood came to visit today and brought a little something."

While Susanna was speaking, Cedric opened the gift box, revealing a grand and dazzling emerald necklace, stunning her into silence.
