Chapter 71 My Wife identally Did That


    Marion looked out of the car window and dared not misbehave any longer. Fortunately, the car stopped shortly at the Cartiers’


    vi.


    ncing at the man beside her, Marion took off the coat and set it aside. “I’ve arrived home.”


    The man slowly opened his eyes, nced outside the window, then turned his head to look at her. “Have a good rest. Sweet


    dreams.”


    “Alright. Sweet dreams to you too.”


    Marion breathed a sigh of relief when she heard him speak calmly. Perhaps she was cursed. She could not handle Lucas’s


    tenderness-it was too peculiar and slightly confusing.


    Marion pushed open the car door and exited. The driver had already unfolded her wheelchair and ced it by the door. She sat


    in it as soon as she got out of the car.


    Before closing the door, Marion nced into thepartment. In the dimly lit space, Lucas was still looking at her. Amidst the


    dimness, Marion felt as if a hungry wolf was staring at her.


    Startled, she quickly closed the door with a loud bang, applying a bit more force than she had intended. She was still quite


    affected by the incidents during the ride.


    Lucas chuckled, and thepartment echoed with the low, pleasedughter of a man. Liam could not help himself when he


    heard theughter. “Mr. Craig? Some good news?”


    “A big rabbit jumped into my arms.”From N?velDrama.Org.


    Lucas rarely responded directly to him, and this time, Liam did not understand the meaning behind Lucas’s words. But since


    Lucas was happy, he could onlyugh along. “That''s indeed good news.”


    In reality, Liam had no idea what the good news was about.


    Lucas watched Marion enter the Cartiers’ vi through the car window. Only when she was out of sight did he suppress his smile


    and resume his usual cold demeanor. “Drive.”


    Liam reigned in his emotions. “Alright, Mr. Craig.”


    As the car left the vi, Lucas received a call from Martin. He was hanging out with the rest and asked if he wanted to join them.


    “... You bailed on our appointment the day before yesterday, can you at least show


    Chapter 21 My Wife identally Did That


    up today and hang out with us?”


    “| understand.”


    Lucas hung up and instructed the driver, “Go to Lion’s Den.”


    He was not going for the sake of pleasing Martin.


    Lucas lowered his head to inspect his cor. He flipped up the neatly folded fabric to reveal the lipstick marks scattered across it.


    Half an hourter, when Lucas entered the private room, Martin was already boasting about being able to get Lucas to join them.


    “I''ve got some pull, right? Look, | told you Lucas woulde tonight!”


    Preston smiled, “Sure, you have great influence.”


    He handed Lucas a ss of wine. Lucas took it, sat down, and raised his hand to adjust his cor. “The air conditioning is a bit


    high, feels hot.”


    Tobias watched his movements. “What''s on your cor, Lucky Luke?”


    Lucas furrowed his brows. “What''s on it?”


    Martin, who had just fixed the air conditioning, went over to him. “Did | see it right? These are lipstick marks! Lucky, when did you


    let someone get so close to you?”


    Was the guy not known for being a bit of a prude?


    Lucas disdainfully pulled away from Martin’s hand. “Oh, my wife identally did that.”


    “What did | just hear?” Preston quipped.


    “Aren''t you a bit too much? Have you forgotten about your sweetheart so soon? It’s only been a few days since you got married!”


    Tobias pondered that as he looked at Lucas. “Is it possible that the current Mrs. Craig is the sweetheart Lucky Luke has been


    searching for all along?”


    Martin, who was not entirely clueless, said, “So, tonight you’re here to show off your marriage?”


    Damn, was that not going too far?


    Lucas cast a nce at him. “Wasn''t it you who wanted me toe here to entertain you?”


    Martin was speechless.


    It may not have been worth it after all.
