"Sure." Orion's gaze lifted slightly, his voice deep in agreement.
"But, youâll still have to follow the rules," Christopher said. "Xan, you and Orion can't see each other for a week before the wedding."
"What?" Xanthea was puzzled. "Dad, why?"
"It's an old tradition. Both of you, being the bride and groom, carry joy with you. To prevent any clash of happiness and ensure everything goes smoothly on your wedding day, it's best not to see each other for a week."
"That's just fantastic. We must honor our traditions!"
Samuel was the first to agree, and Xanthea squinted her eyes, silently pinching him under the table.
"Ow, sis, you're not even married yet, and you're already laying hands on your brother. What will become of us later?"
"Later, Ori and I will deal with it!"
"He wouldn't dare!"
"Orion, don't worry. As long as there's no issue with the wedding venue, we'll handle everything else."
Orion pondered for a moment, "Alright."
Huh? He agreed just like that?
Xanthea blinked her innocent, big eyes. She wouldn't see him for a whole week, and he wasn't going to protest?
Orion put down his utensils and met her gaze, "Mr. and Mrs. Nightshade, I'd like to take Xan home tonight."
Samuel was shocked. To make such a request in front of the whole family, he was becoming bolder by the minute!
"No way!" Before he could object, Ethan chimed in, "Sam, if you don't let Xan go now, be careful she won't let you come over next time."
Xanthea nodded. That was a given.
Samuel was speechless.
Christopher and Susanna exchanged a smile. The young couple was deeply in love, inseparable. It was hard to keep them apart for a week, so they decided to make an exception.
"Alright."
"I'll drop off my sis and pick her up tomorrow. Am I being helpful enough?"
Samuel felt cornered. A wise man adapted to circumstances; he still wanted to visit his sister's house frequently in the future!
Xanthea gritted her teeth, "Yeah, perfectly helpful!"
"Ethan, Samuel, bye!"
"Xan, I'll come pick you up tomorrow!"
"It's fine if you don't."
"In your dreams!"
"Hmph!" Xanthea happily took Orion's hand, "Let's go."
"Mmm."
His kiss was tumultuous and extremely intense, as if he wanted to suck all the air out of her lungs, devouring her whole.
"No."

"Whew." Finally catching her breath, Xanthea gasped for air like a fish out of water.
Her cheeks were a rosy red, her eyes watery, and her luscious lips swollen from the kiss, making her look utterly pitiful.
