My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 228

"The cherry mousse cake you made last time was also delicious—it tastes smooth and creamy, sweet but not overpowering! Huh? You're not having any yourself?"

"No."

Orion shook his head, his gaze fixed on her intently.

He wanted to have her.

Cedric had mentioned that Orion wasn't much for sweet food. Then was this all specially made for her? Xanthea bit her fork, suddenly feeling the cake in her mouth taste even sweeter. She raised an eyebrow slightly and asked him, "Orion, did you make all of these yourself?"

"Yep."

"Ah, the CEO of Lockwood Group seems to have loads of spare time? You even had the time to bake during office hours."

"I'm not really spare." Orion chuckled lightly, "I've been working on something significant lately."

"Something significant? What's that?"

Xanthea's interest piqued.

A significant lifelong commitment.

Orion teased, "Ms. Nightshade, are you inquiring about the corporate secrets?"

"Psh."

Displeased with his secretive demeanor, Xanthea pouted, "What if I was inquiring? I wouldn't understand those things anyway. Are you worried I might spill the beans?"

"No, not at all."

"Then what is it? With our relationship, don't you trust me?"

"It's a matter of principle."

"What principle?"

Orion looked at her slowly, stating, "It involves business confidentiality, so I can only share it with the CEO's wife."

At the mention of "CEO's wife," Xanthea's expression froze, her eyes stopped moving.
