Chapter 390 You’re Lying!
The red and blue flames instantly formed a heart shape with “Happy Birthday” in the middle.
The scene was from a movie Marion loved, where the male lead celebrated the female lead’s birthday and confessed his love.
When she was young, Marion even told Cassie that if someone confessed to her like that, she might even marry him on the spot!
Never did she imagine that, years later, Lucas would recreate the scene from the movie for her.
By now, there were hardly any people on the beach. Especially where they were, it was already quiet.
Marion looked at the flickering flames, feeling a rush of teenage dreams fulfilled.
The cool sea breeze of the night carried a hint of stickiness. Marion shifted her gaze to the man beside her, “Lucas, did you sneak a peek at my diary?”
Since elementary school, she had been used to writing diaries. Before Renee left, she told Marion that the girl could write down her happy or sad moments so that she would know!
Marion used to believe it unquestionably until she learned it was her mother’s white lie. However, the habit of writing diaries stayed, and Marion got used to writing down her feelings or experiences before bed every day.
So many years had passed, and she had filled three diaries.
After getting married, she moved to Lucas’s place and brought those three diaries along with her.
Those were the wishes she wrote down in junior high! How did Lucas know?

Did he really sneak a peek at her diary? However, when he was at home, she was too!
For a moment, Marion’s mind was only filled with the tension of her diary being “read“.
Lucas, expecting some emotional response from her, looked at her silently for a moment. “I didn’t read your diary.”
“Then, how did
you
know…”
In fact, she had almost forgotten about it over the years.
“I dreamed it. A girl told me that if someone confessed to her on the beach like the male lead in ‘Love Actually‘, she’d marry him on the spot!”
He chuckled and looked into her eyes that reflected the firelight, making them big and bright like they
held a hidden sun!
“You’re lying!”
She was not a three–year–old child. How could she believe such nonsense?
“If you don’t believe me, you can go back and check your diary.” Lucas paused, “If I haven’t touched your diary, can I have a look at it?”
Marion was speechless. Did that mean her diary was going to be exposed no matter what?
She naturally did not want that. Although the man seemed to make sense, it was all a trap,
Lucas smiled as he said, “Are you sure you want to question me at this moment, Mrs. Craig?”
