“I brought something else.”
Orion interrupted him.
“Something else? Like what?”
Please, not something like a lollipop. She wasn’t that easy to please!
Orion reached over to open the mini fridge in the car. Xanthea leaned in curiously and saw adorable animal-shaped cakes with a zodiac theme.
“Aw! They’re so cute!”
Her eyes sparkled with delight as she almost dove into the fridge, but the man lifted her out by the back of her neck.
“Do you like them?”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
“Pick one.”
“I’ll pick…”
That’s when Xanthea noticed there wasn’t a Scorpio among the cupcakes. He knew she was terrified of scorpions and had deliberately left it out. How thoughtful he was!
She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the right cheek, with an enchanting smile, “Ori, pick for me.”
The man’s gaze darkened slightly, then he tilted his left cheek toward her to hint, “This side too.”
Xanthea: “Mua!”
Orion picked one for her—a Gemini-themed cupcake with two adorable twin figures holding hands. Xanthea happily took it and, holding the fork, hesitated for a moment. It was just too cute to eat!
“Orion, you didn’t make these yourself, did you?”
“There are molds.”
“You’re amazing! How are you good at everything? What if I become totally useless being taken care of by you in the future?”
