Chapter 381 You Seem To Like Him?


    Lucas carried her back into the room, but Marion had not freshened up yet. “I’ll go wash up!”


    He nced at her and let go, cing her on the bed.


    Marion happily slipped on her slippers and headed to the bathroom to wash up. At the thought of


    waking up to so many blessings and the roses downstairs, she could not help but smile while brushing


    her teeth.


    When she walked out after freshening up, Lucas was standing on the balcony, enjoying the breeze.


    Marion sat at the dressing table and noticed a box of mango candies on it.


    She nced at Lucas. “Did you put these here?”


    With the wind in his face and sunlight reflecting in his eyes, Lucas smiled. “No, it was the fairy


    godmother.”


    Marion knew he put them there. “Want some candy?”


    She opened the box, took one, and popped it into her mouth. This time, the mango candy was sweet at


    first and tangy after.


    Taking one, Marion walked over and ced it by his lips. “It’s tasty.”

    Lucas lowered his head to bite the candy, looking at her with a pensive smile. “Why do you mango


    candies so much?”N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    Marion wiped her hands and sat back at the dressing table. “Because mango candies make people


    happy.”


    “How do you know?”


    “Someone told me.”


    “Who told you?”


    At his question, her hand hesitated slightly as she poured toner onto her palm, spreading it before


    patting it on her face.


    “Someone. A boy.”


    “A boy?”


    Lucas bit the candy, which tasted tangy and sweet.


    Marion turned to look at him. “A boy I knew in high school.”


    “You seem to like him.”


    Marion chuckled awkwardly. “I don’t. I don’t even remember what he looks like.”


    All she remembered was the boy’s deep, dark eyes. Thinking of him, she suddenly noticed the


    resemnce between Lucas’s eyes and those of the boy who used to offer her candy years ago.


    As Marion spread the moisturizer on her face, her hands covering her cheeks, she nced at Lucas.


    The more she looked, the more resemnce she saw.


    “What’oop9–s on your mind?” Lucas asked.


    Feeling guilty, she quickly averted her gaze. “Nothing much. I just wanted to look at you.”


    “Is that so? Aren’t you thinking about your little crush?” Lucas teased.


    Caught off guard by how Lucas hit the nail on the head, Marion’s pinky finger trembled. She looked at


    herself in the mirror, feeling incredibly guilty. “No!”


    Lucas stood up and walked toward her. “Did you think I resembled your little crush when you looked at


    me just now?”


    Marion lifted her head and met Lucas’s pensive gaze. Her ears were burning from the guilt.


    Lucas chuckled softly. “I hope I’m not your stand–in sweetheart.”


    Marion was baffled. Who was the one feeding him all this nonsense?


    As if he knew what she was thinking, Marion heard him whispering in her ear, who told me about the


    stand–in?”


    It turned out she was the one feeding him all that nonsense!


    She bit her lip, lifted her head, and widened her eyes. “I don’t have a sweetheart.”


    “Weren’t you the one


    “You seem to have remembered the mango candy your little crush introduced to you for quite a long


    time,” Lucas remarked.


    In Marion’s mind, she cried, ‘Help! Why does this conversation make me feel more guilty?‘


    While Marion was at a loss as to what to say, the doorbell suddenly rang. The sound of it was divine to


    Marion.


    “It’s a delivery! It must be the gift from Dad!” She got up from the dressing table and nced at Lucas.


    “I’ll go get the gift downstairs!”


    Right after, Marion dashed off.


    Lucas watched the fleeing figure with an eyebrow raised and followed her downstairs.
