Chapter 442 Missing Her
Marion did not pay any mind to Cassie’s words. Cassie’s guess was something Marion had thought
about it ages ago.
It simply did not make sense!
If Lucas knew she was JJ all along, why did he not just say it when Amber mentioned how his
sweetheart was a jet ski racer?
Obviously, Lucas had no idea she was JJ!
The traffic light turned red ahead, and Marion slowed the car to a stop. She picked up her phone and
checked the time. It was almost eight.
Lucas sent her a message, along with a picture.
Curious, she opened it, only to find a picture of the moon.
Marion did not quite understand. She replied with a question mark. [What’s up?]
Instead of answering her question, Lucas only told her to focus on the road.
Marion felt puzzled and instinctively nced at the moon outside.
Hmm, there was nothing special about it.
If she had to say, the moon tonight was unusually round.
With four seconds left until the light turned green, she put her phone down and prepared
to head off.
The traffic was smooth, and Marion returned home to the vi without any hindrance.
However, she could not shake off the meaning behind Lucas’s picture during the drive. Once she
parked the car, she rushed out of the garage.
Just a few steps out of the garage, Marion saw a man standing in the darkness. He was wearing a
white casual shirt, looking at her.
Marion blinked, staring at Lucas in front of her. She hesitated for a second before rushing over to him.
It had been almost a day since theyst saw each other.
Lucas opened his arms and immediately pulled her into an embrace.
Marion crashed into his embrace, enveloped by the familiar scent of cedarwood.
Feeling slightly embarrassed, she loosened her grip after a moment and stepped out of his embrace.
“Why did you send me a picture of the moon?”
Lucas lifted his hand and brushed aside a few stray strands of hair on her cheek. “The moon tonight is
pretty.”
Marion looked up at the sky and nodded in agreement. “Yeah, it is. The moon is so round tonight!”
Lucas looked at her and added softly, “I want to enjoy the moon with Mrs. Craig.”
At first, Marion did not catch on, happily responding, “Sure!”
The moon really did look beautiful tonight, and the weather was nice too–gentle breeze and clear skies,
perfect for moon–gazing!
However, she had spent the whole day practicing on the jet ski outside. Even though she had taken a
shower beforeing back, Marion still felt sweaty.
“Can I take a shower first?”
“Sure.
His gaze swept over her lips, and he nodded in response before leading her into the vi.
Once inside, Lucas let go of her hand. Marion nced at him, then watched as he walked to the
kitchen ind to grab a ss of water. Her eyes brightened with anticipation, and she hurried upstairs,
pulling the straps of her backpack along the way.
Marion headed straight into the closet, grabbed a set of pajamas, and headed to the bathroom for a
quick shower.
After washing her hair and spending some time blow–drying it until it was halfway dry, she finally
stepped out.
As she opened the bathroom door, Marion did not see Lucas.
She walked to the vanity, poured some moisturizer into her palm, applied it to her face,
and walked out.
No one was in the living room, either.
Perhaps he was in the garden…
Just as Marion was about to leave the room, she caught sight of someone standing on the balcony out
of the corner of her eye.
The loose white shirt of the man fluttered in the wind. Marion looked at Lucas’s back and suddenly
remembered what he had said downstairs half an hour ago.
“The moon tonight looks pretty.”
“I want to enjoy the moon with Mrs. Craig.”
Finally, Marion understood the double entendre behind Lucas’s words.

Moon–gazing was a pretense. Wanting her was the truth.
