My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace

Susanna rose from her seat with a puzzled look, “What brings you here? You didn’t tell me in advance.”

Oliver glanced at Xanthea, I just finished work and was passing by, so I came in to grab a meal.”

Christopher said, “Zora, get another set of tableware!”

“Right away!”

Oliver took his seat. In fact, he had rushed over after hearing that Matthew w was planning to propose to Xan.

Xan was already with Orion, so she was bound to tum Matthew down!

But she hadn’t told her family anything. Her sister and brother in law were the type who valued promises and reputations highly Refusing Matthew abruptly and changing her mind would surely lead to them reprimanding Xan; he had to come and stand by his precious niece.

Xanthea noticed his womed glances from the moment he came in, and she had an ominous feeling.

“Uncle, you’re just in time! Matthew continued, “Tve planned a proposal ceremony tomorrow night. I want to ask Xan to marry me.”

“Xan, is that okay?”

As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes turned toward Xanthea. With a sweet smile, Xanthea responded, “I’ll go along with whatever Matt arranges.”

This answer was expected by everyone except Oliver!

Oliver was stunned.

She agreed?!

This was nonsense! She was already with Orion; how could she agree to Matthew’s proposal!

Was she afraid of being scolded if she spoke up? Or was her heart still wavering between the two?

Matthew was one thing, but Orion wasn’t someone she could waver with

If he found out about this, the consequences would be unimaginable. The entire efforts of the entire Nightshade Group couldn’t save

her.

She had assured him time and again that she would handle this matter, but now it seemed to be getting more complicated. If she didn’t have the courage to sort it out, then he, as her uncle, would have to step in.

“Really? Thats great!”

Matthew was overjoyed at her response.

He had been somewhat anxious, worried that Xan might reconsider their relationship because of Orion’s influence. But she had agreed so readily

He shouldn’t have doubted her, his Xan had always loved him the most!

“Ha ha-” Christopher laughed. “You kid, both families have already agreed on the wedding date, and still, you insist on having a proposal ceremony beforehand. Isn’t that a bit much?”

“Matthew is just showing how much he cares. It’s all willingly done, no matter how complicated the process. He’s not like you, who doesn’t understand what romance means.

Susanna was also pleased with Matthew’s gesture, “By the way, Matthew, a proposal doesn’t need to be as grand as an engagement. Keep it simple!” Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“For Xan, nothing is too much” He handed aguest list to Christopher and Susanna, “Here are the guests I plan to invite. If there’s anyone missing, feel free to add them!”

“That’s way too many, Matthew. It’s just a proposal, no need for such a big fuss. Just invite close family and friends, plus Samuel, Ethan, Miranda–Xan, you can invite your close friends too. Tell them it’s a party, the proposal should be a surprise for everyone!”

“Got it.”

“Zora, bring two bottles of wine from the collar. Let’s all celebrate!”

“Okay”
