Chapter 67
Lemira was momentarily caught off guard
He said her hands weren’t made for cooking She thought he’d be pleased
Onion stood there, his demeanor gentle, his bone even, “You don’t have to do this to impress
A lightness formed in Lemira’s chest, her actions were just instinctive, a desire to do something nice But it seerned non saw night through her
Lemira fiddled with a lock of hair near her eat, “Well, okay then”
“The housekeeper will be here noon to make dinner”
Lemira didn’t insist. She sneaked a glance at Orion, feeling that he was somehow formidable. Just like the man shed had a crush on in Wher past life
That man had always tried to show her how her brothers weren’t good to her, a reality she refused to accept, leading to her tragic end
Orion’s way of speaking was so similar! As this thought crossed her mind, Lernira started to wonder if Orion was the man from her past life.
She was caught in a dilemma. If only she’d met that man in her past life, she’d surely recognize him now
Soon, the housekeeper arrived, quickly preparing a feast.
The dishes were basically all Lemira’s favorites, just looking at them made her mouth water.
She bowed her head and ate eamestly.
Orion, seeing her eat, remarked, “Can’t find these at the Langston’s?”
Lemira paused, “Evelina has health issues, so she can’t eat spicy food, making our meals quite bland”
So, she hardly ever got to eat what she loved at home.
Orion felt a lump in his throat, his breathing constricted as if stuffed with cotton. Despite being a wealthy heiress, her life seemed worse off than that of an ordinary girl
He should have come sooner.
Lemira finished, her belly full. She wiped the corner of her mouth and looked at Orion, who was eating gracefully, every movement elegant.
She was momentarily stunned, remembering how she devoured the food just now, a striking contrast. She felt amazed how someone could make eating look so good.
Orion slowly put down his utensils, “Seen enough?”
Lemira quickly averted her gaze, whispering. “How would you know I was looking if you weren’t watching me?”
After dinner, Lemina went straight to the study to work on problem sets.
Orion sat in the living room, and then turned to make a call on the balcony. He stood there, his hand on the railing. “Find out who confessed to Lemira at the school gate this aftemoon.”
“Orion, someone’s making a move on her, huh? Sounds like good news.”
Orion’s tone was cool, “The guy’s from the private high school next door, heard he’s the new heartthrob transferred from Orvin.”
“Oh, him? No need to look it up, I know who it is. Dorian, Felix’s son, got into trouble at Orvin earlier and had to transfer to Lyri
Orion was slightly annoyed, “War his family to stay away from Lemin”
“Protecting her so fiercely, huh? Everyone’s young at some point. Besides, she’ll be off to college soon, bound to have a boyfriend.”
“Shut it. She doesn’t need distractions right now”
Orion glanced towards the study, where Lemira was deeply focused on her work, utterly quiet.
Thaddeus couldn’t help but tease, “Alright, I’ll let Felix know, but don’t you think you’re overstepping? What if she likes Donan? The kids got é face that girls fall for and knows how to please them, maybe Lemira falls for him too”
Orion, imitated, retorted, “If your intelligence matched your nonsense, your mother would be relieved.”
“Whoa, just making conversation, and you get heated? Just a heads–up, you’re the one with a fiancee, remember who you met at the restaurant yesterday”
“Stop prying into my business”
Orlon hung up the call. He paused, and then walked into the study.
