Chapter 293 The Cor Is Unbuttoned!


    After a light nap, Marion refreshed herself by washing her face and then headed to the music room to practice the piano.


    Yesterday, amid her pointless quarrel with Lucas, she had skipped an entire day of piano practice! Reflecting on it now, she felt a


    profound sense of guilt.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    Marion immersed herself in ying the piano,pletely unaware that someone had entered the


    music room.


    She hadpleted the set practice routine when she closed the piano lid, intending to take a break downstairs. To her surprise,


    when she turned around, she found Lucasfortably asleep on the sofa


    behind her!


    When did he arrive? Why had she not noticed him? Was he not supposed to be out for a dinner engagement that evening?


    Marion quickly reyed her recent actions, grateful that she had been focused solely on her piano practice and had not


    embarrassed herself. Relieved, she cautiously approached him.


    She did not dare sit next to him lest she woke him. Recalling Daniel’s words from the morning, she could not resist reaching out


    to touch his forehead gently. However, wary of waking him, she quickly


    withdrew her hand.


    He did not seem too warm... Perhaps he had recovered from his fever.


    Marion recalled the incessant itching she felt when she had chickenpox as a child. Fortunately, Richard had arranged for a scar


    reduction ointment, sparing her fromsting scars.


    What about Lucas? Were there any on his face? If not, they must be on his body. How severe could it


    be?


    Marion observed Lucas for a while, then finally focused on the slightly open cor of his shirt.


    She swallowed. What if she unbuttoned it just to check?


    She did not mean to do anything else! She merely wanted to assess the severity of his chickenpox! Lucas was asleep, and if she


    was careful, he would not notice.


    Marion took a deep breath to mentally prepare herself, and then cautiously extended her hand toward Lucas’s shirt cor.


    ‘Come on, Marion, you can do it!"


    Lucas’s cor was already slightly open, so all she needed to do was gently pull it open a bit more and take a look underneath


    his shirt to assess the severity.


    ‘Alright, Marion, you’ve touched the cor. Hold steady and gently unbutton it!


    ‘Nicely done! The cor is unbuttoned!*

    Just as Marion was about to lean forward and take a peek, Lucas suddenly opened his eyes.


    He grabbed her right hand in the act. “Mrs. Craig?”


    Marion was startled. Lucas straightened his legs and bumped into her. Without time to react, she fell directly into his embrace.


    Would Lucas buy her attempt at an exnation?


    He lowered his head and teased her, “Are you throwing yourself into my arms?”


    Marion''s ears turned red at his words. Within seconds, the blush quickly spread to her cheeks.


    “| didn’t mean to, Mr. Craig!”


    Even to herself, Marion’s words sounded hollow.


    “Were you unbuttoning my cor?”


    Marion fell silent for a moment, trying to ignore her rapidly beating heart. She pretended to look calmly at Lucas. “I wanted to


    check the chickenpox on your body.”


    As she spoke, she tried to remove herself from Lucas’s embrace. However, as she raised her hand, realized there was no ce


    to gain leverage except by pressing against Lucas’s chest.


    Marion was on the verge of tears. Was the design of the sofa slightly inhumane? How could itck


    armrests?


    Just as she contemted how to get up from Lucas’s body, Marion lifted her head and saw him unbuttoning his shirt. What was


    he doing?


    “What are you doing?”


    Why was he undressing himself?


    She had not done anything!


    “Aren''t you here to see the chickenpox on my body?”


    Marion was bewildered. Did that mean he needed to undress?


    Did he need to take off his shirt for that?
