When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 1106

At that moment, Orion's body went rigid, his hands gripping the sofa tightly.

He remained perfectly still, watching her kiss him with an amateur clumsiness. He felt a surge of displeasure, burning to know who the man she had crushed on was.

Yet she stubbornly refused to say, and instead took the initiative to kiss him.

What kind of explanation was this?

Was there something she couldn't tell him?

Orion had never expected her to keep secrets from him.

Enduring the temptation, Orion turned his head slightly and looked at her. "You still haven't answered my question."

Don't think a honey trap is going to work on me. He wasn't falling for it.

Lemira gazed at him with a pitiful, wronged expression.

They locked eyes for a moment before Orion surrendered, saying with forced patience, "Be a good girl and tell me who it is."

Lemira continued to shake her head, and this time, she turned and tried to bolt.

Orion immediately hauled her right back into his arms. "Where do you think you're running off to?"

"Let me go."

"Not unless you tell me."

Orion held her firmly in his embrace, but Lemira struggled violently. Eventually, she clamped a hand over her mouth and gagged.

Orion quickly rushed her to the bathroom.

But Lemira still threw up all over herself, collapsing onto the floor like a ragdoll.

Orion let out a heavy sigh. "Can you stand?"

"Carry me."

Lemira looked up at him, extending her arms pitifully.

Seeing her play the victim, Orion helplessly walked over and scooped her up. "Let's get you a bath."

"You wash me."

Hearing that sentence, Orion's Adam's apple bobbed. "Do you even know what you're saying?"

He carried her into the master bedroom and drew a bath for her.

He stared at Lemira, his gaze dark and heavy. "Can you manage on your own?"

Lemira shook her head. She clung directly to Orion. "Now your clothes are dirty too."

He checked her forehead, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he felt her temperature was normal.

Orion changed into his pajamas, came out, and lay down beside Lemira.

He gazed at the sleeping girl and gave her cheek a light pinch. "Spit it out, who exactly is this guy you had a crush on?"

Why had he never heard her mention him before?

This little brat actually kept such a massive secret from him.

In the end, Orion indulgently pulled the covers up over her.

That night, Lemira slept incredibly well and peacefully.

She dreamed of going on a trip with her parents—no car crash, just beautiful scenery outside.

When Lemira woke up, she still remembered the dream vividly.

She was so happy in the dream.

Were her parents sending her a message in her sleep?

Lemira turned her head and spotted a man lying next to her. When she realized it was Orion, she completely froze.

Why was he sleeping here?
