“Mom, do you remember the terrible fever | had when | was four?”
“Of course, | remember. You tricked the whole family, saying you were off to a friend's house, but you were
actually waiting for a little boy. You waited for him day after day, and in the end, you never met him and even
got caught in the rain.”
Susanna paused mid-sentence, suddenly realizing something, and looked at her in astonishment, “Wait, that
little boy, could it be Orion? Xan, did you regain your memory?”
Xanthea nodded, “Yep!”
“That's great! I've always been worried you might have lingering issues from that. And Orion, so you two were
childhood sweethearts. thought Xan was making it up. What a wonderful fate!”

“What?” Samuel, hearing this, jumped up again, “Orion, are you the reason Xan forgot all about me?”
“Haha!” The whole family burst into laughter. Xanthea leaned in and whispered to Oliver, “Also, Uncle Oliver, that
little boy we saved fr the fire that year was Orion.”
“Really?”
Oliver was taken aback. No wonder he always felt that Orion’s affection for Xan seemed both inexplicable and
overwhelmingly intens as if he had been in love for many, many years.
It wasn’t an illusion. Their destiny had been intricately intertwined from the very beginning.
“I didn’t realize | played a part in this. Well, I'll be the officiant without any doubt!
“Of course, | wouldn't have it any other way.”
“Alright, dinner’s served. Let's eat and talk.”
The family gathered together, chatting and laughing. Oliver took an international call. He needed to travel
abroad next month and aske Orion in advance, “Orion, have you thought about when you'd like the engagement
ceremony to be?”
“Next month, on the 9th.”
Everyone was stunned with his words, especially Samuel, who nearly choked on a quail egg, “That's in 9 days?!”
“Yeah.” Orion added, “No engagement, straight to marriage.”
“What?!”
The room was shocked again.
Xanthea was also stunned, her dewy eyes wide and shimmering, looking at him. Samuel joked, “What's the
rush? Trying to sweep Xan off her feet before she changes her mind?”

Orion didn’t hide it, “Yeah, I'm afraid she might have second thoughts.”
Christopher and Susanna smiled as they gazed at Xanthea, who blushed; as if she would!
“Skipping the engagement is fine. It’s all about letting friends and family know in advance, and now that the
whole world knows about this wedding, it’s not necessary”
“Isn't this top rushed?” Ethan asked, “Marriage preparations are complex. Can you really get everything ready in
time?
Orion replied. “I've got everything prepared.”
He had been preparing for over a decade.
Xanthea was puzzled. When did he manage all this without telling her?
Susanna asked, Xan, what do you think??
