My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 153

"Can't believe you've got sea urchin!"

Leonard stared in astonishment at the tray, neatly adorned with freshly made sea urchin dish. Just as he reached to pick one up, the man stopped him, "Don't touch."

Leonard knew the sea urchin was likely prepared for Xanthea, but couldn’t he try just one? That seemed a bit stingy!

Sea urchin dish was a delicacy from the Everglades, rare and prized for their tender flesh, commanding a steep market price. What made them unique was their smooth, round body covered in spines that embed deeply, requiring careful skills to complete this special dish.

A glance at the tray revealed about twenty to thirty pieces, each requiring significant time and effort to prepare. The kitchen island was littered with various other breakfast items, making Leonard wonder what ungodly hour the cook had started at to prepare all this.

"Orion." Leonard looked at him, expressing admiration, "You really love her, huh? I can't even imagine how happy she'd be as your wife."

His words caused Orion, who was turning off the stove, to pause abruptly, drifting into a brief reverie, while the pancakes on the griddle started to burn.

"Hey, hey! They're burning! Just when I was praising you!"

Leonard pointed at the griddle, catching a fleeting look of distraction in Orion's eyes, and couldn't help but tease.

Although he wasn’t sure how Orion and Xan's relationship would evolve, the fact that Xan was engaged with a wedding planned for the end of the year was undeniable. Wasn’t he just stirring the pot by saying this?

"Hey, things that haven't happened yet still have room to maneuver! Unlike me, destined to be a dashing bachelor this lifetime. If I were reborn as a woman next life, bro, I'd totally chase after you!"
