Chapter 404 An Affection that Requires Antacids
The two walked in silence until they returned to the car. Marion took a deep breath and gently shook his hand, “Lucas, please don’t be angry?”
Lucas looked at her shaking his hand. He did not say a word but simply gazed at her.
Meeting his gaze, Marion pursed her lips, “I swear! I really have no feelings for him. It’s just that you and Miley mentioned Kirk liking me, so I was curious and glanced back!”
Lucas instantly caught the essence of her words, “You and Miley?”
Marion blinked, unable to withstand his gaze, so she reluctantly explained what Miley had told her in the afternoon, “I really didn’t think there was anything wrong with the way Kirk looked at me this afternoon!”
She said it so earnestly!
Of course, just because she did not feel anything for Kirk, it did not mean that there was nothing wrong with the way he looked at her just now.
“And what about the way he looked at you just now? Did you think that was fine too?”
Marion squirmed uncomfortably. She could not bring herself to say it was fine.
“It felt a bit off.”
“So, Mrs. Craig, what do you plan to do?”
It was the same question he had asked before dinner, only it had been hypothetical then, but now it
was reality.
“I… I won’t work with him again in the future! I didn’t even know he was the other person for the
endorsement deal this time!”
She explained anxiously, but Lucas remained unmoved and just watched her silently.
Marion became flustered under his gaze, her words jumbled, “I’ve only met him a few times. I have no romantic feelings for him! And I like you so much, how could I have feelings for another man?”
“So much, you say?” Lucas lowered his head slightly, closing the distance between them.
Marion looked at his close brows and eyes, feeling her breath quickening.
She blinked, feeling a bit embarrassed, “The kind of affection that requires antacids.”
It was an affection so intense it made her stomach squirm.
Lucas chuckled at her remark, “You’re quite good at coaxing people.”
Marion quickly took the olive branch Lucas offered and asked, “So, you’re not angry anymore?”
“I’m not.”

He looked at her almost helplessly, his dark eyes filled with amusement, “If I didn’t stop being angry, Mrs. Craig might have to eat antacids to prove her affection.”
Marion was speechless.
But regardless, he was not angry anymore, and she felt relieved.
She bit her lip, looked at hesitated for a while and then made a decision.
