The contours of his abdominal muscles were faintly visible beneath his towel, and Marion found it challenging to control her gaze.

However, she got caught staring after just a few glances.

“Do you like what you see?” he asked.

Marion, in her dazed state of waking up, directly blurted out Cassie’s question, “Are you trying to seduce me?” Lucas looked at her, lips gently curved, a hint of laughter in his dark eyes, “What do you think?”

Marion desperately wished she could disappear on the spot.

He lowered his gaze and focused on her lower abdomen.

Marion instinctively tightened her stomach.

“Anyway, go ahead.”

Marion hurriedly went upstairs, back to her room. Once the door was closed, she slapped her mouth at few times.

It seemed to be causing more trouble day by day!

After calming down, she told Cassie about the incident, only to receive heartless mockery.

Marion: [You, the mastermind behind all this, can still laugh?]

Cassie: [I’m sorry, | can’t help it!]
