My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 319

"I'll toast to you later."

Later, when she actually got married.

Matthew stood up, a bit puzzled, holding his wine glass. Feeling guilty, he subconsciously avoided Miranda's gaze, "Xan, why are you only toasting us two?"

"Because you two are the only ones at this table who aren't related to me by blood."

At that, Miranda's expression changed dramatically, and the atmosphere in the hall became somewhat awkward.

Christopher and Susanna looked at her in shock.

Miranda was sensitive and delicate by nature, terrified of any mention that she was adopted. Xan had always been considerate of her feelings, treating her publicly and privately as his own sister. Why would he say something like this today?

Ethan and Samuel also looked up, sensing that there was more to her words.

But the next second, she returned to her usual self, "But you are more like family to me than anyone else, so I wanted to give you a special toast."

Matthew and Miranda showed expressions of understanding.

Xanthea tilted her head back and downed her glass of red wine in one gulp.

She was toasting them for the last dinner they would have at the Nightshade family, and to the moment she could finally seek vengeance for herself and her family!

"Xan!"

After the evening gathering dispersed, as Xanthea was about to go upstairs to rest, Oliver dragged her to the backyard to question her, "What's going on with you and Orion? You've been fooling me until now, but today you owe me an explanation!"

Having had quite a few glasses of wine, Xanthea was slightly tipsy, "Uncle, you've been fooled up till now, one more day won't make a difference. You'll find out tomorrow night."

"You!" Oliver tapped her on the head, "Have you gotten so used to joking around with me that you're not scared at all?"
