Chapter 127 But You Are Mine


    “| have a backup n.”Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    “Oh really? What kind of backup n?”


    Lucas spoke and returned to the car. Sitting inside with the door open, he gestured to Marion.


    “Come here.”


    Marion had no choice but to walk over. She wore a short dress that day, which made her stride


    awkward as she had to lift the hem while she walked.


    As soon as she got into the car, Marion caught a whiff of the familiar woody fragrance Lucas wore. Instinctively, she looked up


    and found Lucas staring at her.


    His dark eyes were fixed on her. “Tell me about your backup n.”


    With the air conditioning on inside the car, Marion felt the heat dissipate.


    She pointed to Miley not far away.


    “| arranged for someone to inform Zoe, the chief nner of this event. The call Miley just answered is probably Zoe apologizing.”


    At first, Marion felt hesitant about revealing her little scheme, but once she started talking, a hint of pride crept into her voice.


    “Just wait. Soon, Zoe will personallye out with her team to pick me up.’


    She spoke, with a smug smile on her face.


    Lucas gazed at her. “What else?”


    This question truly stumped Marion. She blinked at Lucas, somewhat perplexed. “Is this not enough?”


    The chief nner herself woulde to apologize. What more did he want?


    “Is it enough?”


    Lucas did not directly answer her question but threw it back at her.


    Marion felt uncertain under his gaze. “Is it not enough?” she stammered.


    Surely she would not have to cancel her performance?


    “No, it’s not enough.”


    Lucas spoke, his gaze shifting to the window beside Marion. “Isn''t Althea trying to drive you away?”


    He looked away, paused for a moment, and continued, “Then let’s repay her in kind.”


    Marion was taken aback. “This... doesn’t seem right, does it?”

    2/2


    But the thought of it was exhrating. What was going on?


    “What''s wrong with that? You''re my wife.”


    That was the second time Lucas had said that to her, and Marion felt that sooner orter, she would find herself ensnared by


    those words.


    She pursed her lips and muttered under her breath. “I’m not really Mrs. Craig.”


    Just a ‘fake’ Mrs. Craig. She was still clear-headed about her circumstances.


    “But you are mine.”


    Marion had not expected him to hear her words, let alone respond to them. Her heart beat faster.


    Lucas snorted. “My people are not to be bullied by anyone.”


    Marion''s face turned red all of a sudden.


    It was not asplicated as she had imagined. Who would not feel a bit confused after hearing Mr. Craig say such things?


    “Your assistant is looking for you.”


    Lucas’s dark eyes swept over her blushing ears. He cleared his throat slightly, lifted his gaze, and gestured for her to look


    outside the car window.


    Marion snapped back to reality and hastily turned to look at Miley outside the window.


    “ll be going now, Mr. Craig.”


    “Hmm.”


    The man responded lightly, and as Marion got out of the car, he followed suit.


    Miley ran over to them with a delighted expression. “Zoe just called me. She says to tell you not to leave. She’sing out with


    her team to apologize. She says it’s their fault.”


    Marion was not surprised by the oue. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Miley turn to Lucas beside her.


    “Thank you, Mr. Craig. If it weren’t for your help, Marion would have suffered this time! She was invited as a special guest and


    was supposed to be the highlight of the performance. Being driven out like this is so frustrating!”


    Marion was in shock. She did not know what to say.


    Was it possible that the oue she had hoped for had something to do with Lucas?
