When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 1107

The moment Lemira laid eyes on Orion, she was completely dumbfounded.

What was going on?

Why was he here?

Lemira tried hard to recall the events of the previous night, but all she remembered was sending Stella and the others off, then happily continuing to drink on her own.

Later, she had too much.

It seemed Orion really did show up to stop her from drinking further.

After all, she had arranged to go back to Sodas with him that night to visit her parents' graves.

She just hadn't expected to get completely hammered.

As for what happened after that, Lemira drew a total blank.

She glanced down at her clothes—she was wearing a nightgown, but who had changed her into it?

She didn't even need to guess to know who it was.

The temperature of Lemira's face shot up significantly. Alcohol really did ruin things.

"You're awake?"

A low, masculine voice murmured right by her ear, and a pair of strong, warm hands settled firmly on her waist.

Lemira kept her head down, too afraid to look up at him.

She could feel the warm, solid chest pressed against her back, radiating a comforting heat in the autumn chill.

Blushing furiously, she mumbled, "I got drunk last night, otherwise we would have already gone back."

"Heading back today isn't too late either. If your parents knew, they wouldn't mind the delay."

"But I wanted to tell them the good news as soon as possible. I was just too happy, so I drank a bit too much."

Lemira looked up at him. "I was drunk last night... I didn't do anything crazy, did I?"

Orion narrowed his eyes slightly. "Do you really not remember a single thing?"

"I can't remember."

Lemira's expression was completely earnest, making her look a bit adorably dense.

Seeing her acting so clueless, Orion deliberately probed, "Look at us lying in the same bed right now. What do you think happened last night?"

Lemira was speechless.

Lemira waited for what felt like ages for him to speak, feeling increasingly anxious.

Finally, she broke the silence, "What exactly did I say last night?"

Orion studied Lemira's face before asking bluntly, "How did you learn The Twelvefold Strike?"

The Twelvefold Strike?

Hearing his question, Lemira knew she was in deep trouble.

She coughed awkwardly and said, "I taught myself."

"But last night you explicitly said I taught it to you. When did I ever teach you that?"

Orion had originally wanted to ask about her secret crush, but he felt that bringing it up would make him look like a jealous fool.

That was why he decided to ask about The Twelvefold Strike first.

When Lemira was drunk last night, her words were completely chaotic and lacked any basic logic.

Hearing his statement, the expression on Lemira's face completely froze.

Sure enough, she had been too happy last night and her mouth had lacked a filter. But looking at Orion's demeanor, that must have been all she said.
