"See, Mom and Dad, I told you Orion can cook, but you didn't believe me" Half the reason the fell for him was his amazing culinary skills; his cooking was no good she could devour it-and him-every day for the rest of her life! Zora chimed in happily. "Absolutely, Mr. Lockwood did all of this by himself. We were just his sous-chefs!" Having worked in elite circles for most of her life, it was the f s the first tZora had seen such a young nobleman who could cook, and so exceptionally well at that. If the young lady ended up with him, she would surely be happy.
"Really?" Samuel, eyeing the mouthwatering dishes, skeptically picked up his utensils to try a bite.
As the CEO of the Lockwood Group, always busy and swamped with meetings and business dealings, how could Orion possibly have the tto learn to cook? Wasn't this just for show? "Xan, sthings are just like speople-they may look good, but once you taste them." He fell silent as soon as the food hit his mouth. Tasting them, they were even better.
"Samuel?" Xanthea leaned in with a smug grin, "How is it? Heavenly, isn't it?" "Just, just average." Yeah, right! Having shared nearly every meal with her since childhood, their tastes were identical; if she thought it was amazing, he couldn't possibly think it was just average! "Thank you, Orion, for preparing such a wonderful lunch for us!" "It's really not proper to have you cook on your first visit" "Mr. and Mrs. Nightshade, please don't mention it. If you like it. I'd be happy to cook for you anytime." "Hahaha, how could we let you do that? Everyone, sit down! Zora, open the wine that Orion brought!" As everyone took their seats, Christopher and Susanna eagerly took their first bites. Their expressions immediately froze, even the usually picky Ethan was impressed.
It was even better than what Zora, a certified master chef, could make!
Christopher was praised, "The creamy potato soup is velvety smooth, leaving a fragrant aftertaste, apd the golden-brown meatloaf is tender and rich Orion, it's incredible that someone as young as you possesses such culinary skills!" Orion humbly responded, "You flatter me, sir. I've just been interested in cooking since I was young, and with practice over the years, I've gotten better" "Since you were young?" As Christopher Started chatting with him, Xanthea reached for a piece of the grilled sardines but had the plate taken away by the man beside her.

Susanna was momentarily taken aback,deeply moved by his skilled deboning gesture.
Xan had always had a sensitive throat, and she often got fish bones stuck, so Susanna had always done it for her, and now seeing Orion do it so naturally, as if it was a habitual part of his life, touched her deeply. Christopher noticed it too.
Not just that, he observed that there was no cilantro in the cold dips and no green onions in the soup-both things Xan dişliked. Eveni Matthew, who had been by Xan's side for years, didn't know these details, yet Orion remembered and took care of them. It truly showed his genuine affection through the smallest actions.
