Chapter 142
Chapter 142 Ever since Xanthea’s coming-of-age celebration, it seemed like she had transformed into someone entirely different.
Gone were the days when she clung to Matthew, made a fuss over him, always thought of him, and constantly wanted to be by his side.
Her world had expanded to include academics, career pursuits, various hobbies, and friends. uneasy
In contrast, Matthew felt like he was losing importance, with their one-on-one time dwindling to a pitiful amount. It seemed like he was gradually being phased out of her life, leaving him anxious and every day, fearing she might change her heart and leave him.
Hearing that familiar call now felt like a throwback to the past when nothing had changed!
This time, he resolved to cherish and protect her more than ever, never again taking her for granted! “Matt, calling so late, are you missing me?”
“Yes! Yes, I’ve been thinking about you all day!”
“Huh.”
Xanthea grinned, revealing a sweet smile.
“| missed you too!”
“By the way, Kan, where are you right now?”
“Me?” Xanthea looked around, noting the pavilion, walkways, street lamps, small trees, and a sign emblazoned with ‘Marlowe’ in golden letters, “I’m in the bathroom.”
“The bathroom? Which bathroom?”
“One in a really huge mansion! It’s as big as a castle!”
Xanthea described with no exaggeration, and Matthew began to sense something was off. This wasn’t Xanthea’s usual way of talking. Could it be she was drunk?
Xanthea wasn’t known for her drinking, always moderate, only indulging in a bit of wine on special occasions. How could she be drunk?
He had earlier phoned the Nightshade family, her mom mentioned she was at the company. Then he asked Oliver, who was at a social event and didn’t elaborate much, only mentioning she was safe with Mr. Lockwood and not to worry. But still, he couldn't resist calling her.
He had assumed ‘Mr. Lockwood’ was a senior executive at Oli-hea Media, but now, who would dare get Xanthea drunk and take her to a grand mansion? Could it be this Mr. Lockwood was Orion?
Orion got he drunk and took her to a mansion, what was he planning?
Matthew’s nerves tightened, and he anxiously asked, “Xan, are you with Orion right now?” Orion? When Matthew said that name, Xanthea’s heart skipped, and she frowned, muttering, “Orion, Orion.” Chapter 142
