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 stiffen! Wait a minute, did Orion just play a trick on her? The word she really needed to hear was admire." In the living room, Sebastian and Xanthea sat on the carpet, building with Legos.

he just swallowed them up? The Thompson family's staff gathered in a comer, 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 tI'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?" "You silly, this piece goes here," Xanthea took a block from Sebastian's hand and placed it on top of their Lego ship. Sebastian, hands cupping his chubby cheeks and eyes twinkling, stared at Xanthea, “Xan, you're so magical!" "What do you mean? Are you overwhelmed by my beauty and brains?" "Not me, Uncle Orion is!" Xanthea raised an eyebrow, "Orion? What do you mean?" "I have never seen Uncle Orion so nice and gentle with any girl. He personally washed fruits, played ball, and even made snacks. You're the first!" The little rascal, seemingly brash and carefree, but with such keen observations.

Xanthea laughed, "Maybe it's because there aren't many girls around him, so you haven't seen much."

Orion's reputation in the outside world was fearsome, a simple intesearch could chill the spine, and most girls naturally steered clear, just like she would have in her past life. If it weren't for witnessing him avenging her death and learning that he was her lifesaver, she probably would never have the courage to approach him in this life. 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 im front of him "There are loads of girls around uncle, as many as this ship!" Xanthea was shocked.

"Usually, lots of well-dressed girls cto visit when Uncle Orion is here. It's so annoying! 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 fearsreputation Orion had in the outside world, it seemed many women were still drawn to him like moths to a flame.
