âHuh?!â
She turned her face in horror, âSo soon?â
âXannie, time to get out.â
âNo, no, I wonât get out.â
Xanthea clung to the seatbelt, refusing to let go until Orion leaned in and whispered in her ear with a chuckle, âIâm just kidding.â
âReally?â
âReally.â
âYouâll be a monkeyâs uncle if youâre lying!â
âCome out and see for yourself.â
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 familyâs in the northern areas of Crestwood?
This wasnât just ten times larger; it was an endless, sprawling, luxurious private island!
âOrion, this place is...â
âXanthea Haven Estate.â
âXanthea?â She looked at him in disbelief. âThatâs my name. Youâre joking, right?â
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 entranceâXanthea Haven Estate.
The servants bowed and said in unison, âWelcome, Madam! Good afternoon, Madam!â
The opulent estate, the gleaming entrance, the and the uniform voicesâeverything left Xanthea in shock. She covered her mouth in disbelief, taking a long moment before slowly looking at him, âWhy?â
Orion looked down at her, his dark eyes filled with tender affection, âBecause this will be our home.â
My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace ï¤Chapter 364 âOur home?â She paused, then bit her lip, touched and amused, âI havenât even agreed to marry you yet, and youâve already prepared our marital home?â
âYep, so you canât back out now.â
Orion took her hand, gently kissing it as if to seal the deal, âYour nameâs already on it. If you donât marry me, youâll owe me ten times the compensation.â
âThis naming doesnât count! Wait, I havenât agreed to anything, so how can I back out? And ten times the compensation? You want me to go bankrupt, you wicked capitalist!â
âMadam is so adorable!â
âYes, yes, and so beautiful. Iâve never seen such a pretty girl in my life!â
âHow can anyone be so charmingly petulant?â
âLook, Young Master looks at her with such adoration, itâs almost dripping out of his eyes. Itâs enough to make anyone jealous.â
The group of servants giggled and whispered, their voices clearly reaching Xantheaâs ears, making her shyly hide behind Orion, âLetâs go inside, shall we?â
Orion chuckled, holding her hand tighter, âAlright.â
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 manâs tie.
âOrion, what are you doing?â
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.
