Chapter 162 | Would Choose You Too


    Having someone apany you to the restroom was something one did only in elementary school.


    As Marion sat in the car, she could not shake off the overwhelming sense of awkwardness she felt. The lights outside the car


    window were dazzling as each passing light cast a distinct three- dimensional y of light and shadow on Lucas’s side profile.


    Marion sighed. “What a waste that such a face was not gracing the big screens...”


    The car was originally silent, but her voice suddenly broke the tranquility inside.


    The traffic light ahead turned red, and even the focused driver in front could not help but nce in


    the rearview mirror.


    Lucas, who had been pretending to doze off, slowly opened his eyes and turned his head to look directly at her.


    Marion kept very still.


    She wanted to smack herself!


    ‘But he looks so handsome!’ She protested internally.


    Marion felt her cheeks burning. She did not dare look up at Lucas and instead kept her head down as she stared at the diamond


    on her chest.


    “Do you like the ne?” Lucas asked.


    Marion nced at him and then at the ne in front of her. She nodded, “I like it.” Who would not


    like a ne worth millions of dors?


    “Alright,” he nonchntly responded.


    “Is the ne beautiful, or am | beautiful?” he teased.


    Marion hesitated in her response, “How can youpare yourself to a ne Mr. Craig? But if | had to choose, | think | would


    choose you. After all, your bone structure and facial features are so exceptional.”


    “Such exaggeration!’ Lucas thought.


    He looked at her thoughtfully. “I would choose you too.”


    “Thank you.”


    However, she felt that she could notpare to the grand ne.


    They resumed their silence, the green light ahead lit up, and the car continued forward. Soon, they arrived at the hotel entrance.


    The driver pulled up directly at the hotel gate.

    As soon as the car stopped, the doorman tactfully approached to open the door. Before getting out of the car, Marion saw the


    grand red carpet that had been rolled out from the entrance.


    It was evident that the attendees, who were already inside, were all dressed in their finest. No wonder Lucas gave her the


    ne to wear. It seemed the night’s event was anything but ordinary.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Lucas had already exited the car. Marion collected her thoughts, raised her hand, ced it in his palm, and gracefully stepped


    out of the car. The warmth of the man’s palmsted only a moment, but the sensation lingered.


    Marion felt her ears burn as she linked arms with Lucas and followed him slowly toward the venue. The event, scheduled for 8


    o''clock, saw them arriving after dinner, making them fashionablyte.


    However, with Lucas’s status, even if he was tardy, no one dared to utter a word.


    Dressed in an elegant white suit, exuding an air of nobility, Lucas caused a small stir as soon as they entered. It was Marion and


    Lucas’s first appearance at such an event after their marriage.


    d in matching white outfits, they were the


    envy of


    many affluent young attendees.


    What kind of person was Lucas?


    On any other day, one would address him as Mr. Craig, and he might not even deign to nce at anyone.


    They wondered how such a person would agree to such a childish act of wearing matching outfits with his partner. The couple


    became the object of envy for everyone.


    Suddenly, someone whispered loudly, “Is Marion wearing The Transcendent?”
