Chapter 376 Was The Battle Suit I Got You Good?
In a daze, Marion thought she heard Lucas’s voice.
She slowly opened her eyes, but the light from the windows was too bright. Squinting, she adjusted to the light before fully opening her eyes.
Seeing Lucas sitting beside her, she was somewhat surprised. She blinked and asked, “Did I sleep all day?”
Lucas looked at her pale lips and gently helped her up, pulling her into his embrace. “No, I came back right after the meeting.”
Marion said with embarrassment, “I just got my period.”
However, she could not stop herself from smiling.
“There was nothing important going on today.”
He held her close, one hand supporting her while the other rested on her belly. Marion wanted to stop him, but she withdrew her hand eventually.
He was her husband. What was wrong with him comforting her?
It was not illegal; it was perfectly reasonable!
With that, Marion comfortably enjoyed seven days of Lucas rubbing her belly. In fact, her cramps had stopped on the fourth day, but she deliberately kept quiet because Lucas’s hand felt warm and comforting on her belly.
After her period, Marion felt revived.

Just as she recovered, Cassie invited her for dinner.
Coincidentally, Lucas went on a business trip yesterday, so Marion had given Ronda the afternoon off.
Since she felt much better after her period, even though it was just dinner with Cassie, she put on some makeup and wore a pretty dress.
Cassie had been working all week, finally making it to Friday. As soon as work ended, she grabbed her bag and left.
Overtime? Who would want to work overtime? Well, she did not!
This time, Cassie and Marion planned to visit Cassie’s favorite place, Butcher’s Cottage. It was a tricky place to book, but Marion, who had nothing much to do, arrived early and grabbed a seat by the
window.
She arrived earlier than expected, so there were still seats upstairs. However, the private rooms were too expensive, and Marion and Cassie were on a budget.
Nevertheless, the window seat was especially nice as it overlooked rows of trees and a stream below
with two geese swimming.
Cassie arrived earlier than expected. “What are you looking at?”
As soon as she entered, Cassie noticed Marion looking out the window. Hence, she sat down, took a sip of water, and looked out the window too. “Wow, there are geese!”
Marion quipped, “Could they be swans instead?”
