Chapter 316 Do You Think It Counts as Stealing a Man?
Marion’s mind was so filled with Cassie’s words that she did not even notice that they had arrived
home.
Lucas had called out to her a couple of times and, when he got no response, he leaned over to help her with the seatbelt.
The familiar scent of cedar wood suddenly brought Marlon back to reality. She looked at Lucas as he helped her with the seatbelt, and Cassie’s words echoed in her mind again. For some reason, she felt a slight wave of panie.
“What are you thinking so seriously about?”
Lost in her thoughts, Marion automatically replied, “Thinking about stealing a man.”
What did she just say?
Realizing what she had blurted out, Marlon froze. Should she push open the car door, run upstairs, and pretend nothing happened?
However, before she could turn the thought into reality, there was a distinct “click” sound, and the car door locked.
Lucas had locked the car door.
He looked at her and said, “Maybe you can explain what you mean by that.”
Marion looked into those dark eyes feeling guilty. Her hands were trembling. “Listen to my explanation, Mr. Craig.”
He leisurely loosened the collar of his shirt and looked at her with a smirk. “Sure, I’m listening.”
Marion hesitated, her cheeks burning. She quietly retorted, “It’s not an excuse though.”
“Alright, go on.”
Lucas turned his body slightly, appearing eager to listen.
Feeling the pressure under his gaze, Marion thought about how to start. After a while, she began, Actually, it’s like this. My friend has a crush on a guy who is currently single. However, due to some reasons, my friend can’t confess to him at the moment.”
“What reasons?”
Marion was caught off guard by the question. “They are currently in a complicated situation. My friend is afraid that if she confesses and fails, things will become awkward for everyone.”
“So she chooses not to confess?”
Marion took a deep breath. “That’s not the point!”

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have interrupted. Please continue!”
“The point is that another woman has appeared now. It seems like she’s interested in that man too. She even intentionally showed off in front of my friend, doing things that made her uncomfortable. My friend just talked to me about it, asking if that woman is trying to steal her man.”
Reaching this point, Marion felt extremely uncomfortable. “So, I was just thinking, maybe that woman is trying to steal her man.”
“It’s absolutely not what you’re thinking!‘
