My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace
Chapter 187

Chapter 187 

Xanthea let out a ndent sigh of relief. She must have been overthinking it. With his cool, aloof demeanor, and gentlemanly nature, how could he possibly make such a risqué joke with her, a young girl? 

After taking his medicine, Orion stood up and took a step, then curiously turned to look at her. “Xan, are you staying out here to continuatching that movie from earlier?” 

“What are you talking abou 

At his words, Xanthea jumped up from the couch with the energy of a startled fish, 

Who, who said I wanted to watch that movie? Don’t project your sleazy thoughts onto others. I said I just wanted to watch a cartoon!” 

“Then I’ll stay here with you.” 

Saying so, he grabbed a few bags of snacks from the fridge and sat back down. 

Xanthea was puzzled. Did he really suspect her of sneaking a watch alone? Was he staying deliberately to keep an eye on her? 

“No way! You’re sick, you need to rest.” 

“I can sleep on the couch.” Orion handed her the snacks. “These are for you, Xan.” 

“I don’t want them. Oh, they’re my favorite cucumber–flavored chips!” 

Xanthea happily took the chips, and felt that the air conditioning in the room was strong enough that it wouldn’t matter if he slept on the couch. To prove her innocence and for the sake of cucumber chips, she 

let him be. 

“Just make sure you sleep, no peeking at the TV!” 

“Okay” 

Xanthea opened the chips and watched the cartoon. 

He propped up his arm, watching her. 

After one episode, the sounds of steady breathing came from beside her. 

Turning her head, Xanthea saw Orion’s eyes slightly closed, his face peaceful in sleep. 

He was asleep? 

She moved closer to him, intending to cover him with a blanket, but was momentarily captivated by his stunningly handsome features. 

Even though she had seen his face hundreds of times, each glance made her wonder how someone could be so incredibly frandsome. 

His perfect eyebrows, the high bridge of his nose, his deep facial contours. 

Her gaze drifted from his flawless face to his well–defined chest, and then down to a rather impressive bulge that she quickly looked away from.

She hurriedly grabbed the blanket to cover him, but accidentally dropped a chip right onto his lap, which perfectly landed on his sensitive area! 

Xanthea panicked, “What?!” 

Damn! How could this happen? Such beauty leads to error! 

Terrified, she looked at Orion; thankfully he hadn’t awakened. If he had woken up to see this scene, she wouldn’t be able to face him! 

She nervously swallowed and reached for the chip, trembling. Just as she touched it, a deep, hoarse voice came from above, “Xan, what are you touching?” 

“Ah!” 

Xanthea jumped in shock, and in her panic, she pressed down hard, causing his brows to furrow in 

discomfort. 

“I’m not, I didn’t mean to!” 

She withdrew her hand as if it had been burned; her face turned beet red and her words were stumbling out incoherently. Finally, overwhelmed with embarrassment and unable to face him, she turned and ran. 

As she dashed out the door, one of her slippers flew off her foot. 

Orion watched her fleeing figure, a deep, affectionate smile spreading across his face. After a while, he shook his head and headed to the bathroom. 

That little imp, trying to let him sleep, yet she woke ‘him up.
