My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 108

Xanthea had no idea how she found herself at the dining table, nor how she ended up with the utensils in her hand. All she knew was that the sweet and sour pork ribs were incredibly tender and juicy, the oysters tofu was delightfully fresh and smooth, and the pineapple-glazed ham was refreshingly tangy!

With each delicious bite, Xanthea, who had been bustling all day and was famished, nearly shed tears of joy.

As the girl ate, a satisfied curve appeared on her beautiful face, her cheeks puffed out adorably, and her fluffy ears on her head twitched with each bite, making her look like a bunny munching on a fragrant carrot—which was so endearing that it was hard not to want to touch and caress her.

Orion’s grip on his cutlery tightened slightly, suppressing the urge as he piled more meat onto her plate.

Looking at her plate, which was almost overflowing, Xanthea hurriedly waved her hands, “That’s enough, no more. I won’t have that piece of fish; I’m afraid it’ll get stuck again.”

“Sea bass, it’s boneless.”

“Really?”

Not even a tiny bone? She remembered getting choked on one last time.

Xanthea bit into it skeptically and then savored the bite. True enough, there wasn’t a single bone, only the exquisite softness and crispy delight.

“Mmm, this is the first time I’ve had such crispy, pan-seared bass. How did you do it?”

“Want to learn?”

“Yes, please!”

Xanthea nodded vigorously.

“You don’t need to learn.”

Xanthea: “Fair enough.”

The moment the name ‘Miranda’ popped into her head, she seemed to realize something, her enthusiastic chewing and the smile on her face freezing momentarily.

What the heck?

Was she really sitting here, chatting and laughing with Orion, this deceitful man? Had she forgotten that she had already blacklisted him?

The allure of good food was too misleading. This time, she had to be more cautious, not to be deceived by his pretentious kindness again!

With that thought, she put down her silverware and straightened her face, “Mr. Lockwood, I’ve already dined with you, now can you tell me why you decided to sell the rights to ‘Realm of Illusions’ to my uncle?”

Orion, watching the little bunny who turned hostile after being fed, couldn’t help but smile.

Xanthea, feeling somewhat guilty as his gaze seemingly brushed over the leftover food, awkwardly licked her lips. Although it seemed like she had been the only one feasting, he was the one who invited her!
