Chapter 113 Oh, It’s the Watchdog!
Lucas observed her for a moment.
His Adam’s apple rolled slightly, and he responded in a deep voice, “It’s very beautiful.”
After saying that, he looked away and lifted his hand to touch the top button of his shirt.
His dark eyes grew even darker. Did the little rabbit dress up so nicely because she feared he had too much self–control? He could not help but think about tearing off the “packaging” himself.
The car started moving slowly, and Marion breathed a sigh of relief.
It was her first time meeting Lucas’s parents, and even though she was not his ‘real‘ wife, she still carried the title. The more she thought about it, the more nervous she became.
Inside the car, it was quiet, and the occasional waft of sandalwood reminded her that Lucas was in the
car with her.
Marion glanced over and noticed Lucas dozing off. She relaxed her inquisitive thoughts and took out her phone to search for information about the Craig family.
However, there was not much information about the Craig family online. The only available content was photos of Lucas’s father, stepmother, and his half–brother. Marion thought for a moment and
decided to ask Cassie.
Despite being a professional gossip enthusiast in her social circle, Cassie didn’t know much more about the Craig family than what was available on a typical Google search.
Cassie: [Why are you suddenly asking about the Craig family]
Marion: [I’m going to dinner at the Craig residence with Lucas today…]
Cassie: [Oh, I forgot you haven’t met his parents. I don’t know much about the Craig family either, babe, you’re on your own!]
Since Cassie did not know much either, Marion decided to be more direct. After all, she had already offended Lucas’s parents that day.
Her mind was occupied until the car came to a stop. Marion then collected her thoughts and elegantly waited for the driver to open the door.
As Lucas got out of the car, he turned and extended his hand to her. Marion hesitated for a moment but quickly placed her hand in his palm.
Lovey–dovey, lovey–dovey, lovey–dovey comes first! Marion secretly pacified herself, trying to ignore Lucas’s warm palm.
The Craig family villa was quite grand, and Marion felt a sense of solemnity just by looking at the facade.
Chapter 113 Oh, It’s the Watchdog!
212
The one welcoming them at the door was the Craig family’s old butler, Ronald Wesley, a man in his fifties. He smiled kindly at Lucas, but when his gaze fell on Marion’s face, all politeness disappeared and was replaced by a cold expression.
Ronald immediately spoke to Lucas, “Mr. Craig, your father said that tonight is a family banquet. What about this young lady?”
It was clear that Ronald did not have much regard for Marion and had no intention of acknowledging her identity.
Marion felt annoyed by Ronald’s attitude but refrained from directly confronting him to avoid being
impolite.
Taking a cue from Ronald, Marion looked at Lucas and asked, “Who is this, Lucas?”
“The butler, Ronald Wesley.”
