Chapter 157 I Need Her to Accompany Me
Marion opened her eyes and realized it was just a dream. She sighed in relief, and covered her face with her hand, trying to understand why she would have had such a dream.
After reflecting for a moment while sitting on the bed, Marion went to freshen up. By the time she finished, it was already past nine in the morning.
Having slept around 1 am the previous night, Marion had overslept. Yawning, she walked downstairs in the quiet, expansive villa. As she headed towards the kitchen, she was greeted by Mrs. Bailey, who promptly brought breakfast to the table.
“Thank you, Mrs. Bailey. How was Lucas’s appetite this morning?” Marion asked, almost slipping up.
Mrs. Bailey placed a stack of radish cakes on the table. “Mr. Craig had a similar appetite to before.”
Nodding, Marion inquired, “What time did he leave this morning?” Then, feeling guilty, she added, ”
I woke up late today, so I’m not sure when he left.”
Mrs. Bailey did not think much of it. Marion was on vacation, and sleeping in was normal. “Mr. Craig left at half-past eight.”
Early, Marion thought, feeling relieved. She did not want to face Lucas too soon, especially after her embarrassing dream.
The charity event issue had settled down. Marion had been receiving calls from unknown numbers
daily, but she did not like answering unfamiliar calls due to the prevalence of telecom fraud in recent
years.
Unbeknownst to her, the calls were from Arthur’s assistant.
After being hung up on ten times, the assistant informed Arthur, who, upon hearing the news, was so furious that he could not eat lunch that day. He immediately called Lucas, demanding he divorce
Marion within three months.
“What if I refuse?” Lucas asked coldly.
“You will no longer be my son!”
“Then I am no longer your son. After all, you still have another one, don’t you?”
