My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 317

"Oliver?"

Susanna rose from her seat with a puzzled look, "What brings you here? You didn't tell me in advance."

Oliver glanced at Xanthea, "I just finished work and was passing by, so I came in to grab a meal."

Christopher said, "Zora, get another set of tableware!"

"Right away!"

Oliver took his seat. In fact, he had rushed over after hearing that Matthew was planning to propose to Xan.

Xan was already with Orion, so she was bound to turn Matthew down!

But she hadn't told her family anything. Her sister and brother-in-law were the type who valued promises and reputations highly. Refusing Matthew abruptly and changing her mind would surely lead to them reprimanding Xan; he had to come and stand by his precious niece.

Xanthea noticed his worried glances from the moment he came in, and she had an ominous feeling.

"Uncle, you're just in time!" Matthew continued, "I've planned a proposal ceremony tomorrow night. I want to ask Xan to marry me."

"Xan, is that okay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes turned toward Xanthea. With a sweet smile, Xanthea responded, "I'll go along with whatever Matt arranges."

This answer was expected by everyone except Oliver!

Oliver was stunned.

She agreed?!

This was nonsense! She was already with Orion; how could she agree to Matthew's proposal!
