Chapter 78 No Matter What


    Marion pursed her lips. She was toozy to argue with him. “I''ve already packed everything. The things to take are in those two


    boxes.”


    Lucas shifted his gaze to the boxes. “I''ll have the drivere up.”


    He paused and looked at her right calf, which, despite being freed from the ster, was still wrapped in bandages. “Can you go


    downstairs by yourself?” Marion raised an eyebrow. “Didn''t | juste upstairs by myself?”


    Lucas abruptly stopped pressing the elevator button. He retrieved his phone from his pocket and walked to her.


    Marion watched as he bent down in front of her. The oxygen around her seemed too thin and instead filled the air around her


    with his invigorating woody scent. It made her breath quicken.


    “Wha- What''s happening?”


    “Youined that | didn’t carry you up just now,Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    He put his hand on her waist as he spoke to her.


    didn’t you?”


    Before Marion could process the situation, she was lifted into his arms.


    When did shein?


    Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around his neck. At the thought of her father waiting downstairs, her face turned crimson.


    “Put me down! | can go down by myself!”


    Lucas looked at her and raised an eyebrow. “I don’t think you can,” he said calmly.


    He proceeded to carry her downstairs.


    Coincidentally, Richard had just finished a call. He turned around and saw Marion being carried by Lucas.


    Richard nced at his daughter. “Isn’t your leg getting better?”


    Marion blushed, “Yes, it’s getting better, Dad.”


    But if Lucas had insisted on carrying her, what could she do?


    Richard nced at Lucas, his expression was hard to read. “Her leg is almost healed. It should not be a problem for her to walk


    such a short distance regrly.”


    Richard was telling Lucas that there was no need to be so reluctant to let her walk

    down those few stairs.

    Lucas ced Marion on the sofa. “Mar mentioned that her leg was a little sore.” Was it necessary to shift the me to her?


    Lucas grabbed a cushion and ced it behind Marion’s waist. Then, he stood up and took out his phone. “I''ll call the driver,


    Uncle.”


    After telling her father that, Lucas walked away and left Marion and Richard staring at each other.


    Richard nced at Lucas’s retreating figure. “Mar, although it’s nice that Lucas dotes on you, we shouldn’t take it for granted,


    right?”


    Marion lowered her head as she blushed. She had no idea how to exin the


    situation to her father. “I know, Dad. | was wrong to do that.”


    Richard sighed. “If you had met Lucas earlier, it would have been better.”


    Marion felt awkward. If she had met Lucas earlier, she probably would not have


    been close to him.


    Of course, she dared not say that to Richard.


    Lucas returned after making the call. He looked at Marion. “I''ll go up and get your things.”


    Richard felt it was not right to let his son-inw do all the work. “Lucas, just sit. I''ll have Howard go up and bring them down.”


    Lucas rolled up his sleeves. “It''s okay. The luggage might be a bit heavy. | can handle it.”


    He was certainly more considerate than Jameson.


    The more Richard looked at Lucas, the more satisfied he felt.


    Before Marion left, he did not forget to remind her to keep her temper in check. In a rtionship, both parties should be


    amodating.


    Marion blushed and nodded in agreement. She could not say anything other than ‘Okay’.


    On the other hand, Lucas suddenly interjected, “Uncle, | married Mar because | love her for who she is. Whether she throws a


    little tantrum, acts spoiled, or is however she wants to be, | understand and ept it all.”


    As he spoke, he nced at Marion, then added “I don’t need her to change anything about her. She can be herself, and | love


    her just the way she is. | love to see her happy.”

    Richard''s initial reluctance was instantly reced by a sense of relief.


    Even Marion found Lucas’s words to be touching. For the first time, she realized that the formidable Jameson could also speak


    such beautiful words.


    Richard patted Lucas on the shoulder. “Next time youe home, remember to call me ‘Dad’.


    Without saying much, Richard had said it all.
