Chapter 234 Miss Cartier, What Are You Doing?
Wine was bitter, but candy was sweet.
Lucas looked down, deep in thought. Then, he put the bottle opener back in its ce and ced the unopened bottle back on
the shelf.
After reiming his seat next to Marion, he reached into her palm and took one candy.
He unwrapped the candy and tossed it into his mouth. When the candy touched his tongue, a slight sourness spread in his
mouth, followed by the overwhelming taste of orange.
However, once he bit into the candy, the sweetness instantly masked the earlier. acidity.
She was right. It was sweet.
However, he wanted to push it a bit further.RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Lucas turned to look at Marion, who had been watching him. “It’s not sweet enough. It’s a bit sour.”
“Huh?” Marion suddenly felt awkward. “Sorry, orange candies can be a bit sour.” He remained silent, staring at the ss in her
hand. “Are you not drinking that?”
Following his gaze, Marion nced at her wine ss. She had just taken a small sip just now, so more than half a ss of red
wine was left.
The look in Lucas’s eyes suggested, “If you’re not drinking, | will.”
Marion quickly nced at the two empty wine bottles nearby and nodded. “I am.”
She lifted the wine ss, closed her eyes, and downed it.
When she was done, she let out a burp. The rich aroma of the wine reminded her it was a good bottle.
Unfortunately, it went to waste.
Marion turned the ss upside down, “All gone, not a drop left.”
Lucas shifted his gaze away, swallowing thest bit of the candy in his mouth.
He then closed his eyes and leaned against the wine cab behind him, not uttering a word.
Marion sighed. She felt that Lucas had undoubtedly experienced an unprecedented setback today.
Otherwise, a proud man like him would not be here, secretly drowning his sorrows in a wine cer.
Lucas, a formidable figure in the business world, would rarely face situations that could bring him down like that.
Was it a matter of love?
It was unlikely as she had not heard anything about Lucas having any recent romantic entanglements.
Was he betrayed by friends?
It seemed improbable as Lucas’s friends appeared to be respectable individuals.
If not friendship or love, it had to be family.
Marion immediately thought of the recent incident when Arthur came to threaten her with divorce. He demanded that she
convince Lucas to step down as the chairman of Radiant Group or face dire consequences.
She found it unbelievable that a father would go to such extremes.
Arthur would not do that, would he?
Marion pondered for a long time but could not figure out why Lucas seemed so disheartened today. Unfortunately, she knew very
little about her fake husband.
Collecting her thoughts, Marion looked at the man beside her once again.
Was he asleep?
Even when he was asleep, he looked so handsome.
She knew it was despicable to have such thoughts at a time like that, but she could not help it. Lucas was genuinely good—
looking!
She whispered, “Mr. Craig?”
There was no response from him, so he must be asleep!
With that thought in mind, she turned to her side, curled up her legs, propped her face on her hands, and tantly studied his
eyebrows, eyes, nose, and thin lips.
As she studied his features, a daring idea crossed her mind.
Since he was asleep, what harm would it do to touch him a little? Would he notice?
As soon as this thought crossed her mind, her hand, seemingly out of her control, touched those thin lips.
It was so soft!
She thought, ‘Are all men’s lips so soft? No wonder it felt like kissing marshmallowsst time!
Realizing she was entertaining her inappropriate thoughts, Marion blushed. As he tried to retract her hand, the man suddenly
grabbed her wrist with his hand.
Then, those tightly shut dark eyes slowly opened and stared at her. “Miss Cartier, what are you doing?”
