Chapter 272 Is It My Turn Now


    Marion was momentarily stunned, thinking it was Mrs. Bailey. Without much thought, she went to open the door. “What''s up, Mrs.


    Bailey?”


    As soon as the words left her mouth, she looked up and saw the familiar face of a man.


    In an instant, her eyes reddened. “M-Mr. Craig?”


    Realizing she was losing control, she quickly averted her gaze, blinking rapidly in an attempt to hold back her tears. “Why are


    you back?”


    However, she could not stop the tears from rolling down her cheeks in the end.


    “Would you believe me if | said my eyes sting?”


    Feeling relieved that she could still joke around, Lucas asked, “Are you upset?”


    He did not say much, but Marion felt even more upset, “I... Kirk and | are just friends. How can they say such things about me?”


    After holding back for so long, she finally let it out.


    The nature of their rtionship became clearer to her at that moment. Even so, she could not admit that her unhappiness


    stemmed from him not attending her performance oring to pick her upst night. Those were privileges reserved for a true


    “Mrs. Craig“, not a usurper like her.


    Marion took a deep breath. “I’m so angry!”


    She bit her lip, feigning anger.


    Lucas watched her, his thoughts hidden in the depths of his profound ck eyes.


    As if they were engaged in a silent game, the silence lingered for about five seconds before he spoke.” Amber Collins is the


    daughter of my mother’s good friend.”


    “Oh, | see. Childhood friends.”


    She realized, this time, she was truly going to “step down willingly*.


    “I''ve only met her four times.”


    Seeing Marion on the verge of tears, Lucas couldn''t bear to tease her further. He reached out and wiped away the tears at the


    corner of her eyes, calmly looking at her. “I’ve had Daniel investigate the events ofst night, and Amber’s studio will also release


    a statement.”


    Marion looked at him, her heart in disarray. She was afraid he would discern her feelings yet also fearing he would not.


    “Do | need to do anything?”N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    “No. Just leave it all to me.”


    Marion looked puzzled “Pursorry”


    After all, she bore half the responsibility for that matter


    She pursed her lips and nced at Laicas. “Did you note backst night?”


    Immediately regretting her question, she rified, “I didn’t mean anything else I’m just curious!”


    She definitely was not trying to check up on him!


    Lucas looked at her, a half—smile ying on his lips, “l came back.”


    Hearing his response, Marion felt like a huge weight had been lifted off her chest, She felt much more


    rxed.


    When she noticed his gaze on her, she blushed and bit her lip, saying indignantly, “The media channels are too much for


    spreading baseless rumors!”


    “Yeah.” Lucas agreed while casually undoing a button. “Do you feel better now?”


    “Yes, much better.”


    She could not help but touch her face, Was her sadness that obvious?


    “Is there anything else you want to ask?”


    Marion raised her head, and when she met those dark eyes of lils, her heart skipped a beat. Blushing. she looked away guiltily


    and shook her head. “No, no more questions,”


    One should know when to stop. It would be impolite to press further about why he was not there at the concertst night.


    Even though Lucas exined who Amber was, Marlon could tell that Amber carried some significance in his life. He probably


    went to pick her upst night.


    There was no need for her topare herself to someone Lacas would personally pick up.


    “Really?” Lucas gazed at her, a hint of anticipation in lits dark eyes.


    Marion shook her head. “Nothing.”


    “Okay,” he replied and then suddenly stepped into the room. “Is it my turn to ask you questions now?
