Chapter 304 Best of Luck, Mr. Craig!
Lucas was unusually silent. “Sorry,” he finally said.
He paused for a moment, seeming to feel the apology was not enough, he added, “Your belly is cute.”
Marion stared at him blankly.
‘Nice save but next time, no more compliments!‘ she thought to herself.
“Go take a shower and get some rest.”
“Okay, goodnight.”
“Goodnight.”
Marion practically fled the scene. Just the thought of Lucas touching her belly made her want to cry.
Why touch her there?
Unbelievable.
Marion rushed back to her room, closed the door, and reached out to Cassie to vent about the situation: [Can you believe how absurd this is? He actually asked me what it was! Does he not have a little belly himself?]
In truth, Lucas indeed seemed to lack a protruding belly.
He only had abs, no belly.
Cassie: [Hahaha! I’m dying of laughter!]
Marion: [Gee, thanks a lot!]
Perhaps feeling she went too far, Cassie toned it down: [It’s not a big deal, think about it from another perspective. This can be considered an intimate contact. Haven’t you taken a big step forward in your relationship with Lucas?]
Marion: […]
Cassie: [Ahem! On a more serious note, didn’t you say Lucas was on a business trip? How did he suddenly appear at the engagement party?]
Marion: [Hmm, you’re right…]
Cassie: [No way! Lucas wouldn’t have rushed back just for you, would he?]
Marion blushed as she replied: [Probably not, I didn’t tell him about the engagement.]
Cassie: [Are you silly? Jameson and Ruby’s engagement was widely publicized. Do you think Lucas needs you to tell him?]
Marion: [Maybe he just happened to receive an invitation?]

Cassie: [With his status, nobody would dare say otherwise!)
Marion: [But I went!]
Just when Cassie thought Marion had finally made a connection to what she was hinting at, she received another message from Marion: [We present ourselves as a loving couple to the outside world,
Cassie: [You’re right. You win. Mr. Craig, best of luck! You did your best!]
Marion was about to reply to Cassle when suddenly she heard a knock on her door.
Her hand shook, and the phone fell directly onto the bed.
In the villa where only she and Lucas resided, it must be Lucas outside!
She ignored her phone and quickly got up to open the door.
As the door opened, a familiar woody fragrance wafted in. Marion’s breathing quickened, “Mr. Craig?
The man raised his hand and handed her a box, “Business trip gift.”
Thinking it might be mango candy, Marion eagerly took it, “Thank you!”
“Not mango candy though, I couldn’t find any.”
She was about to untie the ribbon on the box, ready to share it with Lucas when she heard Lucas’s
words.
Marion was startled, thinking about the Transcendent necklace. The small box suddenly weighed a
ton.
