My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 357

An hour and a half later, everyone was astonished at the sight of the table full of aromatic, delicious, and beautifully presented dishes; especially Christopher and Susanna, whose opinions of Orion began to shift dramatically.

From being wary of Orion stealing away their precious daughter, Can, to wondering how their Xan managed to “steal” such a treasure as Orion?!

Born into a prestigious family, with exceptional looks, outstanding abilities, and a calm demeanor—and he could even cook!

Despite their decades of experience reading people, Christopher and Susanna could usually see through someone’s character at a glance, but they had yet to find a single flaw in him.

Seeing their dumbfounded expressions, Xanthea smugly sidled up to Orion. “See, Mom and Dad, I told you Orion can cook, but you didn’t believe me.”

Half the reason she fell for him was his amazing culinary skills; his cooking was so good she could devour it—and him—every day for the rest of her life!

Zora chimed in happily, “Absolutely, Mr. Lockwood did all of this by himself. We were just his sous-chefs!”

Having worked in elite circles for most of her life, it was the first time Zora had seen such a young nobleman who could cook, and so exceptionally well at that. If the young lady ended up with him, she would surely be happy.

“Really?”

Samuel, eyeing the mouthwatering dishes, skeptically picked up his utensils to try a bite.

As the CEO of the Lockwood Group, always busy and swamped with meetings and business dealings, how could Orion possibly have the time to learn to cook? Wasn’t this just for show?

“Xan, some things are just like some people—they may look good, but once you taste them.”

He fell silent as soon as the food hit his mouth. Tasting them, they were even better.

“Samuel?” Xanthea leaned in with a smug grin, “How is it? Heavenly, isn’t it?”

“Just, just average.”

Yeah, right!

“Since you were young?”

As Christopher started chatting with him, Xanthea reached for a piece of the grilled sardines but had the plate taken away by the man beside her.

Orion meticulously removed the bones while continuing the conversation with Christopher.

Susanna was momentarily taken aback, deeply moved by his skilled deboning gesture.

Xan had always had a sensitive throat, and she often got fish bones stuck, so Susanna had always done it for her, and now seeing Orion do it so naturally, as if it was a habitual part of his life, touched her deeply.

Christopher noticed it too.

Not just that, he observed that there was no cilantro in the cold dishes and no green onions in the soup—both things Xan disliked. Even Matthew, who had been by Xan’s side for years, didn’t know these details, yet Orion remembered and took care of them. It truly showed his genuine affection through the smallest actions.
