My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 125

Xanthea raised an eyebrow indifferently, "Oh, and then what?"

Why was Orion telling her all this? She wasn't his assistant.

"If you're hungry, you could…" He glanced at Leonard, then turned to Cedric, "ask Cedric to prepare dinner early. Let him know if you need anything."

Leonard, caught by the swift shift of gaze, widened his eyes in astonishment. No way, was Orion actually starting to guard against him?

Well, years of brotherhood lost to a single embrace with his darling!

"I'm not very hungry, I can wait a couple of hours."

Xanthea thought, "Did I eat too messily the last couple of times we dined together? Did he think I was always ready to chow down? Please, I just had a particular fondness for his cooking skills!"

Her casual reply hit Orion's ears but painted an entirely different picture.

Orion's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of a smile emerging, "You want to wait to eat with me?"

Xanthea was shocked.

How did he derive that meaning? She just wanted to say she wasn't always thinking about food!

Meanwhile, Queenie Marlowe looked expectantly at Orion, only to see his gaze not linger on her but burn intensely towards the woman next to him.

That was when Queenie noticed the stunningly beautiful woman beside him, enchanting like a siren, her every smile and gesture seemingly flirtatious.
