Chapter 303 What Was That?


    The barbecue joint owned by Lucas’s friend turned out to be quite delicious, and the portions were


    generous. Marion indulged herself in ten skewers ofmb, fifteen skewers of beef, five skewers of the


    house specialty, and even had a bowl of seafood congee. Finally, she topped it off with two grilled


    chicken wings.


    When she finished, she felt stuffed, and the full difort kicked in as soon as she got home. Marion


    felt like she was about to explode as she stepped out of the car. Her stomach was painfully bloated.


    Holding onto the car door, she almost cried while looking at Lucas, “I think I’ve overeaten. Do you have


    any digestive pills at home?”


    Lucas looked at her, a hint of amusement shing in his dark eyes, “Yes, I’ve got some. Can you walk?


    “Maybe…” Marion took a few steps and immediately felt numb.


    Lucas walked up to her, effortlessly picked her up, and carried her to the living room, then promptly


    fetched some digestive pills for her.


    epting the pills, Marion felt she had never been so embarrassed in her life, “Thank you.”


    She swore to herself she would not overindulge again! Even though shecked restraint this time,


    could Lucas not show a bit of restraint with hisughter?


    Blushing, Marion rubbed her stomach. “Stopughing at me!”


    Lucas poured her a ss of water, “Was Iughing?”


    He said as he tried to suppress his amusement.


    Marion just red at him.


    “Feeling better?”


    She shook her head, “Still too stuffed.”


    “Shall we go to the clinic?”


    Marion did not hesitate, “No! I’ll be fine in a bit!”


    Go to the clinic for overeating? Was he trying to make doctors and nursesugh along with him?


    Seeing her in such distress, Lucas stopped teasing her, “Give it another fifteen minutes.”


    “Yeah, okay.”


    Lucas’s phone on the table suddenly lit up.


    Marion nced at it quickly. She could not see the details but noticed it was a group message.


    Afraid Lucas might misunderstand, she quickly averted her gaze. She did not have any intention of

    snooping. It was just a reflex!


    Lucas shot her a nce but did not say anything as he picked up his phone.


    In the group, Martin was grumbling.


    EZ


    Martin: [You really heartless @Lucas! Your wife can’t handle alcohol, yet you asked me to give her red


    wine!]


    Martin: [I’m starting to suspect that Marion was deceived into going to the Civil Affairs Bureau by you!]


    Tobias: [Perhaps. No need for suspicion though.]


    Preston: [Lucas was trying to be seductive…]


    Lucas nced at Marion, then casually replied: [I can understand your jealousy, after all, you guys


    don’t have wives.]


    Martin: [Wow…]


    N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    Tobias: [I’m speechless]


    Preston: [Damn you!]


    Lucas put down his phone, not bothering to read any more of the group messages. After all, Martin


    could note up with anything useful. Well, they were still single after all.


    Marion took a moment, feeling like she had finallye back to life, and breathed a sigh of relief,


    knowing she had avoided a trip to the clinic.


    “I’m better now.”


    “Not feeling stuffed anymore?”


    “No, not stuffed anymore.”


    Lucas lowered his gaze and reached a hand toward her stomach.


    Before Marion could react, she felt a warm sensation on her belly.


    Through the thinyer of her skirt, she felt the warmth from Lucas’s hand,


    Marion stared at the hand pressed against her belly, her mind going nk.


    Lucas quickly withdrew his hand, “Still a little bloated.‘


    Hearing his words, Marion’s face instantly turned red.


    She looked at him, almost gritting her teeth as she spoke, “That wasn’t bloating.”


    “Then what was it?”


    “That’s just my stomach!”

    Lucas had no words for her.
