Chapter 371 Xanthea, now in the clutches of the "wolf," ate the seafood soup he had cooled and fed to her, feeling that he was becoming increasingly clingy "Orion, I've got a question for you" "What is it?" "When did you start liking me?" Onion paused for a moment, gently s stirring the chowder with the spoon. "What do you think, Xannie?" If she was without the knowledge of their past lives, she would've guessed it was during the rehearsals, perhaps falling for her through acting as Maximus But in their past life, where he went to the extremes of grave digging, killed Matthew and Miranda, and even committed suicide, she had always assumed there was another reason, as they were not that familiar with each other Yet now, pondering over it, she couldn't help but wonder if he liked her all along.
Recalling everything in detail, there were signs everywhere: He bought Realm of Illusions for her, silently investigated the real culprit behind the explosion incident, jumped into a lake to save her, and even planted a mountain of irises just for her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCultivating a mountain full of irises seemed far-fetched to her because, although irises thrive in sunlight, they shy away from the heat, requiring soil moisture levels to be maintained at 70% to survive. Planting them on an arid, hot mountain would demand an immense amount of manpower, resources, and effort, not to mention the care for such rare and delicate varieties. If someone could accomplish that what couldn't they do? "At my coming-of-age party?" Was it love at first sight, coupled with her heroism, that sparked his affection? Orion shook his head, leaving Xanthea surprised. "Then it couldn't have been three years ago, right? When I was surrounded by those thugs?" That seemed unlikely.
She was only 15 at the time. But then again, it was the prtfor a teenage crush, especially considering his maturity compared to his peers.
"No, it wasn't "Huh?" Xanthea was even more surprised. "Then, when was it?" Orion's gaze softened, his eyelashes flickering with a serious light. "If I said it was when I was five, would you believe me?" Not a chance! Xanthea rolled her eyes. "I'm asking you seriously, and you're joking with me? If that's true, then you're a real weirdo!" Oh well Orion chuckled silently to himself. He was, by all accounts, a bit of a weirdo.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought about "disappearing" with her.
A call suddenly cthrough. It was an international call. Orion glanced at the caller ID and set down his spoon. "Babe, I need to take this call," "Sure." He switched to fluent French for a business conversation, and Xanthea listened for a bit but soon lost interest. Scooping up a spoonful of chowder, she suddenly realized. Where was her phone?! Last night, in the heat of passion, her phone had rung. She remembered she had promised Director Smith to attend the wrap-up celebration but hadn't shown up. Just as she was about to answer the call, Onion snatched the phone away and threw it out the door.
The crash it made was louder than any of her screams.

It was definitely smashed! This was the second phone she had lost since being with him!
Orion, still on the call, noticed her reaction. He walked to the bottom of the stairs and picked up the phone. ked in one comer, but it was still barely usable. Her first instinct
As Xanthea took it from him, she saw that the screen was indeed was to check her messages nervously.m Thankfully her family hadn't questioned her whereabouts from the night before, probably assuring she was staying at Sunset Hills Estates. 11:18 Chapter 371 But why were there so many notifications on her Twitter?
