Chapter 207 Enough, Stop Talking
Lucas‘ gaze lingered on her face for a moment, then he swam to the edge of the pool and got out. When he said he would not
look, he genuinely kept his word. After getting out, he headed straight to the shower. Marion was left alone in the pool.
Without Lucas around, Marion felt less awkward. She quickly swam to the edge and got out. The dress was soaked, making it
heavy as it clung to her body. Standing by the pool, she looked down at her dress as water continuously dripped from her.
However, Lucas soon returned with a towel. He wrapped it around her, saying, “Hurry back, don’t catch a cold. I''ll get your ss
for you.”
“It''s not...” Marion began to exin, but she decided against it. No amount of exnation could cover up her embarrassment.
She nced at him awkwardly. “Sorry, Mr. Craig.”
Lucas chuckled. “Sorry for what? You didn’t hit me.”
Marion decided to stop talking about it. She tightened the towel around her. “I''ll go back to shower and change.”
Before he could answer her, she had already run off, leaving a trail of water along the way.
Lucas watched her departing figure, thinking about the slender legs under that soaked dress. He turned and jumped back into
the pool to retrieve Marion’s ss.
In the meantime, the housekeeper had prepared dinner, thinking Marion was in her room. As she walked towards the living room,
she was startled to see Marion running in.
“Madam, what happened... What''s going on?” Mrs. Bailey was taken aback.
“...Just went for a swim,” Marion replied nonchntly, refusing to admit she had fallen into the
water.
“Oh, wow! Both Madam and Sir are so healthy. Swimming is such a good exercise. I''ll leave the dinner here, Madam. It’s getting
late,” Mrs. Bailey eximed.
Marion nodded, “Yes, swimming is a great sport. I''ll go upstairs for a shower, Mrs. Bailey. You can head home now. It’s getting
late.”
“Alright, alright. Quickly freshen up and change, Madam. We wouldn’t want you to catch a cold.” Mrs. Bailey replied.
Marion acknowledged her and swiftly ran upstairs. Thirty minutester, she came down after finishing her shower and
immediately noticed the ss ced prominently on the central ind.
She thought, ‘I know you fished it out for me so there’s no need to put it in such an obvious ce!’
Lucas had already seated himself at the dining table. He wore a loose white shirt with a pair of ck straight-leg trousers. His
hair was still damp, and the tousled strands added a touch of unruliness,

breaking away from his usual aloof demeanor.
Marion took her seat opposite him and epted the soup he handed her. “Thanks.”

“Hmm,” Lucas nced at her casually and asked, “Did you run into someone familiar this afternoon?
Marion, feeling hungry, took a sip of soup and looked at him. “Huh? Well, | ran into someone unpleasant.”
She chose not to mention the encounter with Janice. She did not want to ruin Lucas’s mood along with hers. Shifting the topic,
she continued, “By the way, my dad''s birthday is approaching, and | n to buy him a watch and take him out for a meal.”
“Alright, I''ll have Daniel handle it,” Lucas said.
“Oh, there’s no need. | can handle it. I’m just letting you-

Before Marion could finish, Lucas interrupted her, “Since you’re my wife, the watch we give should naturally be exceptional.
Collectible watches are not easy to buy, so let Daniel take care of it.”Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Marion was astonished, “Isn’t that very expensive?”
She did not have such a huge budget!
Lucas looked at her, raised an eyebrow slightly, and said, “Do you think I''d let my wife spend money?
It''s not necessary.”
“Isn''t it better to give Mr. Cartier something of much better quality?”
Marion was at a loss for words. She finally sighed, “Okay, I''ll go along with your decision.” She could save up slowly if needed!
