Until Sebastian implored from behind, "Xan, you're squishing me."
Only then did Xanthea realize Orion had already left.
Damn!
What had just happened to her?
It was as if she had been spellbound for a moment, unable to move. Could Orion be a wizard?
But men after a workout, his voice was too vibrant, too seductive, right? She almost felt her limbs stiffen!
Wait a minute, did Orion just play a trick on her? The word she really needed to hear was admire, and he just swallowed them up?
In the living room, Sebastian and Xanthea sat on the carpet, building with Legos.
The Thompson family's staff gathered in a corner, gossiping quietly as they watched Orion meticulously preparing food in the glass-walled kitchen.
"I've been working for the Thompson family for ages, but it's the first time I've seen Mr. Lockwood cook!"
"The butler mentioned that Mr. Lockwood only cooked once before during his mother's 30th birthday, and even then, it was just one dish. Today, he's ordered a whole array of ingredients!"
"It's nearly midnight, and he's still so dedicated to making a midnight snack. I've never seen Mr. Lockwood this thoughtful for anyone. Do you think Ms. Nightshade might be his girlfriend?"
"She seems too polite and formal with him for that."
"Yeah, but Mr. Lockwood's behavior is evidently special. Could it be Mr. Lockwood has a crush on Ms. Nightshade?"
Only upon getting closer did she discover he was nothing like the rumors.
"Not at all," Sebastian shook his head vigorously, pointing at the Lego in front of him, "There are loads of girls around uncle, as many as this ship!"
Xanthea was shocked.
"Usually, lots of well-dressed girls come to visit when Uncle Orion is here. It's so annoying! I asked the butler, and he said they are all distinguished ladies from across the country, claiming to visit Mom but actually coming to see Uncle Orion!"
"Really?"
Xanthea was taken aback. Despite the fearsome reputation Orion had in the outside world, it seemed many women were still drawn to him like moths to a flame.
