Chapter 191 That’s Not Something | Want to Think About
Meanwhile, in the Maybach.From NôvelDrama.Org.
Seated in the car, Marion replayed everything that had just happened, questioning if her head had taken a hit.
How could she-just run into Lucas’s arms like that? Thinking about the situation when she nestled into Lucas’s embrace, she could not help but feel her heart racing even now.
‘You're so pathetic, Marion!’ she scolded herself.
‘It's just a performance, why act all shy like an inexperienced schoolgirl?
‘But he’s Lucas!
‘Right, he’s Lucas!
‘The epitome of a man!’
“What are you thinking about?”
In the quiet car, Lucas’s voice broke the silence. Marion paused, looked up at the man beside her, and blurted out, “Thinking about the epitome of a man.’

As soon as she said it, she could see Lucas’s expression changing.
His black eyes stared at her, and Marion blushed, “It’s not what you're thinking, Mr. Craig!” “What is it, then?”
What was it?
Could she say that his embrace made her blush and her heart race?
Is that something she could say?
Marion's lips moved, “It’s just, it’s just—”
“Just unable to come up with a clever explanation, right?”
To hell with it all, she was too tired!
Marion lowered her head and gave up on explaining.
Regardless of how she explained, it seemed like it would only lead to Lucas’s misunderstanding. ‘Whatever, let him think whatever he wants.’
In the dimly lit car, with the flickering lights outside the window, Lucas looked at her reddening ears and chuckled softly. Though the laughter lasted only a brief few seconds, Marion could still hear it.
She awkwardly raised her head and glanced at Lucas, “Could you please spare me the shame?” “How so?”
“Don’t laugh at me.”
She tried to maintain a serious expression. Lucas slowly suppressed the smile, “Okay, |’ll spare you the shame, no more laughter.”
He may as well continue laughing!
No one spoke, and the car compartment fell into silence.
Due to heavy rain, the driver was driving slowly, turning the usual twenty-minute journey into thirty minutes.
Marion looked out the window and gradually calmed down.
Suddenly, her phone in her bag vibrated a few times. The vibrations sounded very loud in the quiet car.
She quickly took out her phone and found a message from Cassie!
Cassie: [Mar! Your husband is so cool! He not only picked you up but also sent his secretary to pick me up! Remember to thank your husband properly!]
Marion was confused: [What did Lucas do?]
Cassie: [Mr. Craig sent his secretary to take me home! Just a few minutes after you left, Mr. Craig's secretary appeared!]
Cassie: [And | was mocking Ruby and the others at the time! Mr. Price’s appearance was like a slap in their faces! Ruby and Jade were infuriated. Hahaha!]
Marion finally understood what happened. She furtively glanced at Lucas who was pretending to sleep beside her. She still found it hard to believe,
Marion: [Are you saying that Daniel went to pick you up?]
Cassie: [Yeah, what’s wrong?]
Marion: [I’m just shocked.]
Cassie: [Honestly, at first, | thought Mr. Price was Jade’s boyfriend, and she had sent him over to confront me...] Cassie: [Anyway, Mr. Craig is really good to you! He’s a great man! Aren’t you considering making a move on him?] Marion blushed: [That’s not something | want to think about-]
Just as she sent her message, the car suddenly stopped. Marion's phone slipped from her hand and landed on Lucas’s shoes. Before she could pick it up, Lucas had already bent down to retrieve her phone.
Lucas glanced at the lit screen, and his gaze paused on Marion’s chat with Cassie.
His black eyes froze at the messages.
