Chapter 336 Oh, That’s A Shame


    Marion, initially only half awake, felt a hint of danger after hearing him utter those words. In an instant,


    she was awake and lifting her head to gaze nkly at the face inches away from hers.


    “No, I’m not tired,” she managed to utter.


    However, Lucas had scooped her up, carried her out of the room, and headed downstairs. The sunlight


    streaming through the windows cast a light on his face, entuating his deep–set eyes and


    chiseled features.


    “Oh, that’s a shame,” he remarked with a smile. “Otherwise, I could help wake you up, Mrs. Craig.”


    Though he had not said much, Marion caught the memo. Her face flushed red, and she awkwardly


    averted her gaze.


    “I’m already awake,” she muttered.


    Marion then nced toward the floor–to–ceiling windows, where the midday sun bathed everything in


    its warm glow. While rubbing her eyes, she suddenly realized Lucas was carrying her.


    “I can walk…” she said, but before she could finish her sentence, Lucas had seated her at the dining


    table.


    Marion bit her lip, feeling embarrassed until she looked at the tes of steak and fries on the table. It


    was her favorite dish.


    Touched, she picked up her utensils andmented, “It looks delicious.”


    “Eat up,” Lucas replied while putting some steak and fries onto her te.


    “Thank you,” she mumbled shyly before bowing her head to take a bite of the food.


    Lucas’s cooking skills surpassed her expectations. In fact, it was even better than Ronda’s.

    Marion, easily swayed by good food, found herself praising him throughout the meal. At least fifteen


    minutes of their dining time were spent on hermendations.


    However, throughout the entire process, Lucas remained impassive, his expression revealing nothing


    of whether or not he appreciated herpliments.


    Once they finished eating, Marion volunteered to clean up the dishes.


    Lucas simply nced at her. “Your phone’s lighting up.”


    “Huh?”


    Marion then remembered her conversation with Cassie before falling asleep and felt a pang of guilt.


    With that, she focused all her attention on her phone.


    After opening Cassie’s chat, Marion’s hand trembled as she read the messages, which included some


    photos that made her squirm.

    Actually, Cassie had not sent anything outrageous Marion which set she liked best as a wedding gift.


    just a few pictures of sexy lingerie, asking


    Marion did not dare reply to Cassie; she wished she could just turn off her phone!


    Since there was a dishwasher at home, Lucas insisted on cleaning up.


    By the time Marion had checked her messages, Lucas had done everything. He emerged from the


    kitchen, drying his hands with a kitchen towel in a leisurely manner.


    Marion blushed furiously, thinking about the photos Cassie had sent. Her heart pounded faster and


    faster. Thankfully, Lucas’s phone came to her rescue!


    It was Martin calling, asking if they were free today since the weather was nice for a round of golf.


    Lucas answered the call, standing beside Marion. He rested one hand on the table in front of her, with


    his index and middle fingers tapping lightly.


    “No, we’re not avable,” he said calmly.


    Marion looked up at him with questioning eyes.


    Martin on the other end was also puzzled. “Why not? It’s Saturday today!”


    With his slender finger tapping the tabletop, Lucas exined, “We need to catch up on sleep.”
