Chapter 156 Did She Still Look Hungry?


    Lucas looked at her. “Go take a shower first. The food will be brought overter.”


    Marion nodded. When Lucas turned away, she quickly closed the bedroom door, nced at her slightly protruding belly, and then


    grabbed her pajamas to head for the shower.


    Despite iming not to be hungry, Marion not only had a bowl of porridge but also indulged in two shrimp dumplings. Staring at


    thest dumpling in the basket, she restrained herself from picking it


    1. up.


    Lucas nced at her. “Are you full?”Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    A blush crept onto Marion’s face. Lucas’s casual ‘Are you full?’ sounded gentle, yet she felt awkward due to her earlier actions.


    “Yes, I’m full.”


    “Okay,” Lucas responded indifferently and said no more. Marion felt sleepy and stifled a yawn.


    “May | retire to my room?”


    “Go ahead.”


    “Good night, Mr. Craig.”


    “Good night.”


    Marion stood up to leave the table. Just a few steps away, Lucas spoke in a leisurely tone, “Are you not going to eat thest


    shrimp dumpling?”


    Startled, Marion almost stumbled. She turned back and looked at Lucas with conviction. “I’m full!”


    “Are you?”


    He nced at her, his lips gently moving. It made Marion feel like she might have overreacted.


    She pursed her lips. “I''ll go back to my room.’


    “Go ahead.”


    As Marion left in haste, Lucas watched her retreating figure. His eyes softened, and a lightughter


    escaped his lips.


    Marion rushed back to her room, closed the door, and touched her slightly warm cheeks with regret. She wondered if she had


    eaten too much, and made Lucas think there was still food left for him.


    Her phone, left untouched for half an hour, blinked with numerous messages. Unlocking it, she found


    Cassie’s flood of texts.


    Cassie: [ So Mr. Craig is back! You''re not a very responsible wife, are you? You didn’t even know when your husband was


    coming home?]


    Cassie: [It’s okay, just exin to the police! My bad for being impulsive!]

    Cassie: [Where are you?]


    Cassie: [???]


    Cassie: [Got it, a little time apart is good for the marriage, slip away, slip away!]


    Cassie''s imaginativements made Marion''s face blush again. She replied, mentioning that she had just had ate-night


    snack.


    Cassie responded quickly: [I understand, | understand. Don’t worry about me. I’m going to sleep. Good night!]


    Could Cassie not let her exin properly?


    Marion did not fall asleep until past 1 AM. Perhaps due to thete-night snack, her sleep was restless, apanied by a strange


    dream.


    In the dream, she and Lucas were eating shrimp dumplings.


    When there was only one left, she instinctively put down her fork and let Lucas have it.


    Lucas picked up the dumpling and brought it to her lips, prompting her to open her mouth. She had no choice but to eat the


    dumpling.


    Then the dream took an unexpected turn.


    After she chewed and swallowed the dumpling, Lucas suddenly asked, “Is it delicious?”


    She did not quite understand why someone who also ate the dumpling would ask if it was good, but she nodded and said it was


    tasty.


    Right after her words, he said, “Really? Let me taste it again.”


    Then he stood up, leaned over, lifted her chin, and kissed her!
