The car had just pulled out of the parking lot when the sky roared with thunder, and raindrops the size of beans pelted down, creating a symphony of pattering sounds.

Marion, with a mug in hand, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and stared out at the dark expanse in the distance. She could not help but click her tongue at the sight.

It looked like it was going to rain for half a day today.

After a moment of watching the rain, she finished her drink, refilled her cup in the kitchen, and decided to head upstairs to continue practicing the piano.

However, just as she was about to leave, she heard noises from the entrance.

Marion paused and looked up to see a man walking in with an expressionless face.

She instinctively called out, “Mr. Craig.”

Lucas glanced at her and then walked past the kitchen toward the basement.

Marion blinked, feeling that today’s Lucas was acting a little strangely.

At that moment, Mrs. Bailey emerged from the kitchen. “Madan, is the sir back?”

Marion nodded. “He's back.”

“Should we prepare dinner earlier tonight?”

That was a good question!

“No

Marion pondered for a moment before saying, need. Let’s stick to the usual schedule.”

Mrs. Bailey acknowledged that and went back to her work, leaving Marion alone.

Thinking about Lucas’s expression when he came in, Marion could not concentrate on the piano. Lucas did not seem to be in a good mood...

Since they lived under the same roof, she probably should not be so indifferent to him.

After all, a few days ago, when she accidentally drank a spiked drink, he took her to the hospital in the middle of the night! After struggling with herself for a while, Marion went to her room, grabbed a few

candies, and held them in her palm before heading down to the basement.

It was her first time going down. The basement level was an entertainment area with pool tables, dartboards, and audio-visual entertainment.

She looked around, but Lucas was nowhere to be seen. If not in here, maybe he was on the second level of the basement! Marion descended to the second basement level and entered a wine cellar.

There, sitting on the floor, was Lucas casually sipping wine. He was leaning against the red wine cabinet with his long legs sprawled out, his right hand holding a bottle of red wine against his bent right leg, and his left hand holding a wine glass.

He drank it like it was water. Marion watched him for a while before cautiously calling out, “Mr. Craig.” He lifted his head, looking hostile. “Want some wine?”

It was the first time Marion had seen Lucas like that. She meant to say she was not good with alcohol, but she ended up saying, “Sure.”

After a brief hesitation, she decided not to go back on her word and walked over to sit beside him.

Lucas finished the wine in his glass and handed it to her. “Do you mind?” Marion took a moment to understand his meaning. “Not at all.” Now was not the time to express any reservations as that would only hurt him.

Lucas poured half a glass of red wine for her, clinked the wine bottle in his hand. against her glass, and then tilted his head back to drink it.

Marion took a small sip while watching the man in front of her, contemplating how to comfort him. In that regard, she truly had no experience, especially with someone like Lucas. The cliché ways of offering comfort were obviously ineffective.

While Marion contemplated whether offering candy at a time like that was too abrupt, Lucas finished the bottle and reached for another from the wine cabinet.

Just as he was about to uncork it, Marion blurted out, “Mr. Craig, would you like some candy?” His hand paused mid—action, and he turned to look at her. Marion extended her right hand, revealing three yellow—colored orange-flavored

candies. “Wine is bitter, but candy is sweet,”
