Chapter 116 Aren’t You Angry?
Marion was pulled into the car by Lucas, and once inside, she began to regret her impulsive actions. She realized that she might have angered Lucas’s father.
With those thoughts, Marion instinctively looked at Lucas who sat beside her. Surprisingly, he did not show any anger. He gazed at her calmly and asked, “Scared?”
Shaking her head, Marion bit her lip and cautiously inquired, “Aren’t you angry?”
“Why would I be angry?” Lucas responded.
She felt embarrassed. “I might have overreacted and made your father upset.”
Lucas suddenly burst into laughter and reached out to pat her head gently. “Well done.”
Marion was confused. “Huh?”
He did not explain but asked, “Hungry?”
Marion liked her lips. “A bit.”
Although she had been eating just moments ago, the sudden conflict had disrupted her appetite.
Lucas watched as her tongue darted out of her mouth.
His eyes darkened momentarily. He lifted his hand and pressed his thumb on her lips. “Stained with
sauce.”
Marion’s face instantly heated up. “Th–thank you.”
Lucas absentmindedly responded as he rubbed his thumb against his index finger. “Hmm.”
Feeling the awkwardness in the air, Marion hesitated for a moment before lightly touching Lucas’s
arm.
Through the thin shirt, he could feel the softness of her palm.
“How about we grab something to eat before heading back?” Marion suggested.
Through the light touch on his arm, Lucas felt the tenderness of her hand. “What would you like to
eat?”
He furrowed his brows, and his Adam’s apple rolled slightly.
“What do you want to eat?”
“Anything.”
“Anything it is.”
Marion sensed that Lucas was definitely in a bad mood that day despite his facade at the moment.

2/2
‘When someone is in a bad mood, they should eat something they like,‘ Marion thought to herself.
Lucas did not insist anymore and directly instructed Liam to go to a private kitchen.
Marion could tell that Lucas had a poor appetite.
By the time they got back into the car, it was already 8:30 PM.
The atmosphere in the car was very quiet.
Neither of them spoke.
Marion looked out the window at the passing nightlife, lost in thought.
She imagined that Lucas was in a difficult situation with his family.
When they returned to the villa, the more she looked at Lucas, the more she felt sorry for him.
After returning to her room, Marion quickly sought advice from Cassie.
