Leonard passed the washed grapes to Xanthen and Octavia Xanthea peeled one and fed it to the man who was barbecuing. “Is it sweet?” 

“Sweet.” 

“Hey, could you two stop flaunting your love using my hard work?” 

Sebastian: “Pretty Sister, I want some too!” 

Xanthen peeled another translucent grape and offered it to him, “Open wide.” 

“No, I want one from your mouth, it’s sweeter!” 

He leaned in to kiss Xanthea, but was lifted up by Orion, his face darkening and his tone cold, “Julian, help me take his clothes off.” 

The housekeeper was puzzled, “Why are we taking off Seb’s clothes?” 

“To grill” 

“Ah! Uncle’s the big demon!” 

“Sebastian struggled and ran away, screaming. 

Xanthea couldn’t help but laugh 

Leonard remarked, “Seb’s got game, he’s even better at firting than me, it’s going to be incredible when he grows up!” 

Octavia: “Lucky for him, he looks like his uncle–attracting girls.” 

“?” Xanthea turned to look at Orion, who shook his head in confusion, Tm not” 

“Even if he did, he wouldn’t notice, just like Seb. At his age, he only had eyes for “Leonard’s words were abruptly cut off by a sizzling hot burger stuffed into his mouth, making it hard for him to continue. “Orion, got a new flame and you want to kill off the old ones!” 

“You guys keep gnlling: I’ll go prep some side dishes Octavia stood up 

Hearing this, Xanthea raised her hand. “Tll come too!” 

“You?” 

Orion’s eyebrows lifted slightly. Xanthea could sense a clear disbelief in his tone, defiantly responding, “What? Do you look down on me or what?” 

“Tell me what you want, and I’ll make it for y 

Apparently, he did look down on her! 

“No need, Ill do it myself!” 

Her finger pressed against his chest, halting him, “You just sit tight here. Octavia chimed in, “Sure, let Xan come with me.” 

It was a perfect moment for some girl talk. 

As the two were about to leave, Orion called out, “Sis, make sure she stays away from knives and fire.” 

Octavia, noticing the concern etched between his brows, nodded with a smile. 

“Will do.” 

Xanthea How incapable did she seem in his eyes? Sure, her cooking skills weren’t top–notch, but it wasn’t like she was about to slice off her fingers or set the kitchen ablaze! 

“Xan, Orion is even more indulgent with you than I am with Seb.” 

“Sister, he’s just being overly cautious.” 

“He’s never worried this much about anyone before” 

Let alone treated someone with such care and tenderness. 

Feeling a bit shy, Xanthe brushed her hair aside, and Octavia noticed the jade bracelet on her wrist, her expression turning to one of 

surprise 

It was the token of love their father gave their mother. 

“Xan, has Onion taken you to see Grandpa?” 

“Mhm, we went yesterday.” 

As Xanthea finished, she saw Octavia staring intently at the bracelet on her wrist. Worried she might stir up some unpleasant memories, she was about to explain when Octavia smiled warmly, a smile of gentle acceptance, “That bracelet suits you well.”

“Thank you Octavia,” 

When the two reached the kitchen, the servants asked them what ingredients they needed, and Xanthea ordered a few items from the 

list. 

Octavia asked, “Planning to make pasta?” 

“Yeah, my cooking skills are pretty basic, so I stick to simple dishes.”
