Chapter 417 Did I Do Something Wrong?


    Marion instinctively hooked her arms around his neck, while his arms supported her thighs. It was an


    undeniably intimate position to be in. Her face flushed instantly.


    Out of the corner of her eye, she nced in the direction of the dining room, where Mrs. Bailey


    emerged.


    Lucas carried Marion to the sofa and sat down, lowering his head to gaze deeply at her.


    “Reciprocity.”


    Before Marion could respond, he raised her chin and kissed her lips.


    Their heated breaths intertwined as Marion keenly felt the warmth emanating from him. Lucas’s kiss


    was forceful and domineering. She could barely breathe.


    Her eyes were closed and theck of air made her cheeks even redder.


    Her hands, restless, roamed Lucas’s back for a while before settling on his shoulders, gripping tightly.


    Her neatly manicured nails lightly pressed against his shirt, each fingertip feeling the scorching


    temperature of his body.


    Marion felt herself heating up along with him. Just as she felt like she was being kissed to suffocation,


    her phone, casually ced on the kitchen ind, suddenly rang.


    The ringtone broke the intimate moment between them. Marion’s consciousness returned and she


    moved her hand to lightly push Lucas’s shoulder.


    Lucas, annoyed at the interruption, pulled back, lightly biting her lips before retreating. It did not hurt;


    instead, Marion felt a tickling sensation.


    With a flushed face, she raised her eyebrows slightly, stealing a nce into his deep ck eyes, said,


    “My phone is ringing.”


    and


    Given the timing, it was likely work–rted.


    “It’s probably Miley looking for me,” she added, looking towards her phone. Lucas released his hold of


    her and leaned back against the sofa.


    Marion quickly got off him and walked to the kitchen ind to answer the call. It was not Miley but it


    was still about work.


    Marion nced at Lucas and felt embarrassed.


    “Let’s chat on WhatsApp, okay?” she said into the phone.


    The person on the other end of the phone felt they had caused a disturbance and quickly hung up.


    Marion looked at Lucas with some guilt, pursed her ups, and sat down beside him. “Won’t your work be


    affected since you returned so early?”

    Marion’s heart skipped a beat. Under Lucas’s unwavering gaze, she gradually relented.


    “Alright.” She took a sip of water, lowered her head to look at the cup, andposed herself before


    speaking.


    “After Cassie and I finished watching a moviest night, we parted ways near the mall. While I was


    driving, I saw a man waving a traffic cone at me, and fearing I might hit him, I slowed down and


    stopped.


    “After he stopped me, he told me his friend was in a lot of pain, so he asked me to help take his friend


    to the hospital nearby. To convince me, he even left his ID card with me as coteral.”


    Marion paused and nced at Lucas.


    “I checked it carefully. The person on the ID was him, and I even made him recite the ID number. Then,


    I took his friend to the hospital, and he quickly caught up. After that, I came home.”


    Lucas’s eyebrows twitched. “What’s the name of the person who stopped you?”


    “Nixon Carpenter.”


    Marion felt worried. “Did I do something wrong?”


    Could it have been a trap?
