Chapter 332 He’s Pushing It Too Far!
When she stayed silent, Lucas asked knowingly, “Do you have any questions?”
Marion blushed and looked at him. “Did you forget that our marriage is fake?”
He raised an eyebrow, pushing the door wide open with his hand. “Do you still have the marriage license?”
Marion felt flustered. “Of course I do!”
How could she not? Without the marriage license, how could they possibly get a divorce later?
“In that case, show it to me later,” he said nonchalantly.
Marion looked at him, perplexed. “What for?”
“To check if the marriage license is genuine.”
“I… I didn’t mean it that way.‘

Marion had felt confident, but with him looking at her like that, she felt a little unsure.
She bit her lip and went straight to the wardrobe, rummaging through a box to retrieve the marriage papers they had signed two months prior.
Then, she slapped it in front of Lucas. “Ours is a marriage contract!”

His warm breath against her neck sent tingles down her spine, and her breath quickened. She pleaded, “You… Let go of me.”
“You’ll try to sneak your way out of this if I let go of you,” he retorted while holding her waist and lifting her, repositioning her from facing away to facing him.
The crisp, woody scent invaded her senses, making Marion blush. However, she still tried to maintain her composure as she countered, “When did I try to sneak my way out of this?”
Lucas looked at her, smiling but saying nothing.
Under his gaze, Marion surrendered, “Okay, okay. I’ll move out right away!”
