Chapter 491
“She said she understands you because you’ve both been through the same tough childhood, surviving on sheer will and a thirst for vengeance, and that 1, having faced nothing, couldn’t possibly get it. Do you agree?”
“No, she didn’t get it right.
Xanthea’s eyes crinkled with a genuine laugh, “So, you think I’m kind and understanding, right?”
“Not quite.”
“What?”
Orion lowered his head, planting a soft kiss on her hair, “I didn’t survive on will or vengeance. I survived because of you”
Her heart fluttered at his words, a warm buzz spreading through her. He was perfect, making it impossible for her to pick a fight anymore!
And there she was, losing to him again, wrapping her arms tightly around him. His laughter echoed in her ears, sweet and joyous
“Not jealous anymore?”
She wasn’t jealous to begin with.
“So, what’s your plan for dealing with her? She got you all riled up.”
“We got a bug in the office, so maybe we can break the contract, leak the recording, how about sending a copy to everyone at MR Group? Sounds good?” Wouldn’t that just let everyone at MR Group know she was not to be trifled with?
Xanthea stared at him in shock, “Orion, you’re really something, you know~”
Orion lowered his gaze, “No one messes with your husband.”
Xanthea tiptoed to peck him on the lips.
“Deal!”
She didn’t care much for that woman, but this plan could indeed prevent any future problems. Once the recording was out, she’d see who dared to mess with her honey!
“Orion, I actually came here today to tell you something important!”
“What’s up?”
“Our team’s project got nominated for the 13th National Science Award!”
“Really?”
Orion cupped her face, his eyes shining with pride.
“My brilliant scientist, that’s incredible.”
Xanthea’s pride and satisfaction were written all over her face, “So, how about a reward for your dear scientist?”
“Sure.”
“And the reward?”
“A trip.”
The word ‘trip’ sent Xanthea’s smile crashing down from the heavens.
She remembered their honeymoon, a series of events that could only be described as a nightmare.
Orion, that insatiable fox, claimed it was a vacation, but it was just an excuse to torment her mercilessly in a different setting!
“No.”
“How about stargazing?”
“Stars?!” Xanthea’s excitement returned instantly, her amber eyes shining like the stars above, “Where to?”
“Brightwood.”

“No.”
Orion inhaled her scent deeply, intoxicated.
His Xannie, more beautiful and tempting by the day.
He could never get enough, wishing to spend his last breath with her.
