Chapter 314 Are You Playing with Me?
When Lucas lifted Marion down from the horse, her fare turned both hot and red. Although it was a very normal thing between husband and wife, the relationship between her and Lacas made it impossible for her to control her blushing, especially with three onlookers nearby.
Fortunately, Martin and the others were quite tactful and did not comment on it.
Lucas handed the horse back to the staff and glanced at Martin and the others, asking, “Anything
else?”
“We thought since it’s a rare occasion to have Marion with us, shall we have a meal together?” Martin knew well that asking Lucas was futile, but if Marion agreed, Lacas would definitely comply.
Marion felt she could not refuse the genuine invitation, “I’m fine with it.” She glanced at Lucas, and the message was clear. It was up to him now.
Martin looked at the two of them and felt annoyed.
‘Come on, Marion, you handled the scumbag decisively and beautifully. How can you not even decide. on a meal in front of Lucas?‘ Martin thought to himself.
Martin had to turn to Lucas, “Marion said she’s fine with it. What do you say?”
Lucas gave Martin a disdainful look, then took Marion’s hand, “I’m fine with it too.” He paused for a moment then added, “I just wondered if you guys would be jealous.”
Everyone was silent at that remark.
Marion felt awkward. Would Lucas not get a beating for saying things like that?
Suddenly a female voice chimed in, “Prince, Preston, Tobias, and Martin.”
Martin grinned, “What a coincidence, Amber.”
Amber nodded, “Are you leaving already?”
“We were just discussing where to have dinner,” Martin said as he glanced at Lucas.
Just as Martin was feeling triumphant, Amber chimed in, “Do you mind having one more person? I came here alone today. Originally, I had plans to have dinner with a friend, but I just got stood up.‘
Looking at Lucas and Marion, Amber continued, “Perfect timing. I haven’t had a chance to properly thank Prince for the last time. I’ll treat you all to dinner tonight. What do you think?”
“A free me love it!”
Preston and Tobias exchanged glances but remained silent.
Lucas raised an eyebrow and glanced at Amber, “I don’t have much of an appetite. Maybe next time.”
The atmosphere became uncomfortable.
However, Amber seemed oblivious to the change, “No problem. Next time then. Since that’s the case,
I won’t disturb you
Then she walked away. As she watched Amber’s departing figure, a thought struck her.
Was Amber really not doing it on purpose? Why did Marion feel like Amber had an ulterior motive for coming over?
Lost in thought, Marion suddenly felt something warm on her face. When she snapped out of it, she was slightly surprised, “Wh–what happened?”
“There was something on your face.”
She instinctively touched her cheek, “Here?”
“I’ve removed it.”
