Chapter 280 He Was Just Being Polite! 

The online commotion gradually settled, but Marion’s heart, incited by Cassie, could not quite 

down 

Every time she saw Lucas, Cassie’s words, “Don’t you think Lucas is trying to seduce you?” automatically popped into her mind. 

As a result, Marion found herself giving Lucas strange glances. He must have thought her strange 

Soon enough, knew she had to face him. 

Lucas maintained his usual discipline. 

Marion came downstairs to find that Lucas had already finished his swimming and exercising 

The contours of his abdominal muscles were faintly visible beneath his towel, and Marion found it challenging to control her gaze. 

However, she got caught staring after just a few glances. 

“Do you like what you see?” he asked. 

Marion, in her dazed state of waking up, directly blurted out Cassie’s question, “Are you trying to seduce me?” 

Lucas looked at her, lips gently curved, a hint of laughter in his dark eyes, “What do you think?” 

Marion desperately wished she could disappear on the spot. 

But she could not. 

She could only face his gaze and stammer, “I’m sorry, I haven’t fully woken up, I’m just talking 

nonsense.” 

At that moment, Mrs. Bailey appeared, “Sir, Madam, breakfast is ready.” 

“Mrs. Bailey, you’re a lifesaver!‘ Marion silently thanked Mrs. Bailey. 

Marion seized the opportunity, “I’ll have some breakfast!” 

With that, she hurried towards the dining area. 

Lucas watched her swaying ponytail and clicked his tongue before turning to go upstairs. 

Mrs. Bailey looked bewildered, “Madam, are you that hungry?” 

“Well, I am a bit hungry.” 

“Wait a moment, I’ll bring breakfast right out.” 

“Thank you so much!!

Lucas came down. 

Mrs. Bailey had observed Marion cat twice as fast as usual, and could not help but remark, “Locks you were really starving!” 

As Marion went upstairs, she happened to pass Lucas. 

“Full?” he asked. 

“Full.” 

Seeing him pause, she also stopped. 

Their eyes met, and Marion’s heart beat faster. “I was just kidding earlier. Please don’t take it to heart. 

Seeing her on the verge of tears, Lucas sighed inwardly and replied calmly, “Well, I know. You weren’t fully awake.” 

“Yeah, yeah, I wasn’t fully awake!” 

That was a success! 

“Go practice the piano, but I suggest you digest your food first. Otherwise, it might…” 

He lowered his gaze and focused on her lower abdomen. 

Marion instinctively tightened her stomach. 

“Anyway, go ahead.” 

Marion hurriedly went upstairs, back to her room. Once the door was closed, she slapped her mouth at 

few times. 

It seemed to be causing more trouble day by day! 

After calming down, she told Cassie about the incident, only to receive heartless mockery. 

Marion: [You, the mastermind behind all this, can still laugh?] 

Cassie: [I’m sorry, I can’t help it!] 

Marion: [Our friendship is over.] 

After a brief moment of laughter, Cassie started asking serious questions: [Did Mr. Craig only say that? ‘What do you think? Nothing else?] 

Marion, not wanting to dwell on the matter, replied: [Nothing else. What else do you want him to say to make my social death more complete?] 

Cassie: [Well, mainly, I think even though your question was direct, Mr. Craig’s words were quite vague.] 

Marion determined not to take the bait twice: [Giet lost! He was just being polite! He’s tra 

eman so I shouldn’t jump to conclusions!]
