When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 593

Lemira’s eyes were blazing with anger, tears threatening to spill over. She couldn't believe he was trying to turn the tables on her!

Orion saw the tears forming and immediately softened his tone, "I didn’t mean it like that. I wasn’t accusing you of cheating."

But she had been standing a bit too close to that guy for his liking. He didn't want her getting so chummy with other guys.

Lemira blinked away her tears and yanked her hand away from Orion, "Let him go."

Obedient this time, Orion released his grip, his voice lowering to a gentle murmur, "What's really going on with you?"

"Nothing."

Lemira ignored Orion and handed her towel to Timothy, "Go wash up with some cold water, stop that nosebleed."

Orion snatched the towel back, his voice gruff, "Use mine."

He thrust his own towel towards Timothy.

Timothy hesitated, looking at Lemira, "Are you gonna be okay on your own?"

"I'm fine, just go take care of yourself. Sorry about what happened."

Lemira hadn’t expected Orion to get physical.

Timothy cast a glance at Orion before walking off the boxing ring, leaving behind a quiet space.

Lemira eyed the towel Orion held, reaching out, "Give it to me."

Orion held onto it, stepping closer, a hint of stubbornness in his voice, "I only reacted that way because I saw you getting too close with another guy. I misunderstood."

Did she think he was invisible, handing her towel to another guy right in front of him?

Lemira shot back, "And what about you?"

Orion met her questioning gaze, mumbling, "I never have a female sparring partner at the gym."

"That's not what I meant. Didn’t you say you wanted to talk? Okay, I'm listening."

Lemira was curious to hear how Orion would explain himself.

Orion licked his lips nervously, "The other night, I didn’t reply because my grandma was in the hospital, and there was an emergency at work. I couldn’t get back to you right away. I thought it wasn’t urgent, so I planned to respond later."
