My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 320

By the bed, the two men were a bit surprised to see her burst into the room, looking so lively and eager.

"Xan, you're so excited, huh?"

"Ah, yeah, I am." Xanthea stumbled over her words, "After all, I'm being proposed to tomorrow; it's a big life event."

Ethan and Samuel exchanged a glance, their expressions complicated.

Xan was their little girl, raised from the ground up. No one understood her better than they did. They could tell she wanted to do from her actions and what she was thinking from her expressions. But this time, they couldn't read her.

Ever since her coming-of-age party, they had noticed Xan had become distant from Matthew. She no longer clung to him, seemed indifferent to conversations with him, avoided going out with him, and was even reluctant to mention his name in front of them. Her enthusiasm from before was completely gone, and she treated him like a stranger.

They had thought she had grown tired of Matthew and would gradually break up with him.

Unexpectedly, when Matthew proposed today, she agreed without hesitation and even seemed genuinely happy!

They had noticed her odd behavior at the dinner and wanted to check if she was truly willing. But the happiness on her face when she entered the room couldn't be faked.

"Xan, do you really like Matthew?" Samuel finally asked.

"Yeah, I do."

Xanthea threw herself onto the big bed between them, hugging a Hello Kitty at the headboard, "I've liked him for so many years, haven't I? Why are you still asking, Samuel?"

She suddenly remembered how, when she first confessed to her family that she liked Matthew, Samuel couldn't accept it. He kept questioning if she was joking or if she was blind.

To dissuade her, he argued with her, gave her the cold shoulder, and even tried to lock her up to stop her from seeing Matthew.

If only she had listened to him back then, all the tragedies wouldn't have happened. Maybe she and Orion would have grown up together. Just thinking about it made her feel blissful.
