Chapter 378 That Woman Is Doing It On Purpose!
Cassie watched her walk away and casually flipped her the middle finger. “Babe, that woman is
definitely doing it on purpose!”
Marion knew it was intentional. After all, who would insist on using that nickname when explicitly told
not to, especially right in front of her? Amber was just in disgusting!
However, despite Amber’s actions, Marion could not ignore what she said. “She just mentioned that
there’ll be apetition in Lester City on the 17th of next month…”
Cassie also heard it. “Don’t let it get to you. That woman clearly said it on purpose! If you believe her,
you’ll end up having conflicts with Mr. Craig, won’t you?”
Marion understood the logic, but she still felt uneasy.
Cassie nced at her. “How about we go and watch a movie? A funny romanticedy from Hong
Kong premiered the day before yesterday, and I heard it’s pretty good!”
“Sure!”
Since Lucas was away on a business trip, he probably would not be home today.
Cassie immediately bought tickets on her phone, and they took a taxi to the cinema.
The movie was indeed hrious, but amidst theughter, there were moments of bitter reality. They
laughed in the first half but ended up crying in thetter half.
When they came out, Marion’s makeup had smudged, and her eyes were slightly red.
“It’s gettingte, Marion. Let’s head home and get some sleep!”
Cassie knew Marion’s bedtime routine, and it was already ten o’clock.
Marion sniffed. “Should I go back then?”
“Yeah, go ahead!”
They each hailed a cab and chatted on their phones all the way home.
Twenty minutester, Marion arrived home first.
Feeling tired, she did not want to chat with Cassie anymore. [I’m home, and I’m going to take a shower.
Let me know when you get home!]
Cassie was also almost home, so she replied with an emoji.
Marion opened the front door and nced at the shoe rack while changing her shoes. She noticed
Lucas’s favorite pair of leather shoes ced on top.
Although baffled, she did not dwell on it too much. Lucas had so many pairs of shoes, and the styles of
leather shoes were all quite simr. Besides, he did not wear the same pair every day.
After changing her shoes, Marion shuffled over to the kitchen ind and poured herself a ss of
water. Sitting on a high stool, she let her thoughts wander as she sipped her water.
When Lucas went downstairs, he spotted Marion sitting on the high stool, lost in thought.
She held a ss of water in her hands, her lips against the rim. She was too lost in her own world to
notice him approaching.
Lucas stood beside her. Instead of calling out to her, he just smiled and watched her quietly.
Marion zoned out for a moment before remembering something and began rummaging through her
bag.
Soon, she pulled out a ring box from inside.
Opening the box, she revealed a pair of simple and elegant couple rings that she and Cassie stumbled
upon while wandering around a jewelry store before the movie.
Marion did not think much of them at the time, but Cassie encouraged her to try them on, saying she
did not have any rings on her finger and did not look like a married woman.
The rings Lucas bought for her were worth millions of dors and were too precious for everyday wear.
If she lost one, she would be devastated.
Back then, even though they had gotten their marriage license, it was more of a formality. Marion did

not feel much for Lucas, so she did not even consider rings.
However, when Cassie casually mentioned it, Marion suddenly thought of Lucas’s empty hands and
remembered Amber, whom she had met today. With that thought in mind, she tried on a woman’s ring
and thought it was nice, so she bought both of the rings immediately.
They were not too expensive, just over 2000 dors for a pair.
Marion propped her chin up with one hand and twirled the ring in the other under the light. “Why does it
seem like I bought them a bit too small?”
As soon as she said that, she heard a familiar voice beside her. “Try them on, and you’ll find out.
