Chapter 119 Would You Like a Sweet?

“The noodles are delicious, thank you.”

Upon hearing his words, Marion glanced at the bowl and found that the noodles were already finished.

She thought she must have comforted Lucas. “Oh, okay then. Shall I go back now?”

“Yeah.”

Before leaving, Marion hesitated about whether to take the empty bowl on the tray with her. As she

reached for them, Lucas suddenly leaned down, and their foreheads touched.

Although they separated quickly, Marion could still feel his touch. She felt embarrassed and blushed

slightly, “Sorry, I just wanted to take the bowl away…”

“Did it hurt?”

As she spoke, her forehead suddenly felt warm.

One of Lucas’s hands was at the back of her head, and the fingertips of his other hand gently touched

her forehead.

Close as they were, their breaths entwined, and Marion could smell the scent of the man.

She stared blankly at him as he approached, and wondered if he was going to kiss her. Should she

close her eyes?

Before she could decide, he released her. “No swelling.”

Marion snapped back to reality, realizing her unfounded thoughts. Her face turned red, “I’ll go back to

sleep.”

Lucas looked at her, his brows and eyes slightly moving, “Not going to take a shower?”

Marion looked down and only then noticed that she was still wearing her clothes from that evening.

She felt a little silly. “I meant I’ll go take a shower and rest.

“Okay.”

He replied as he sat on the sofa, looking somewhat lonely.

Lucas had a tough time too–his biological mother passed away when he was young, and his

stepmother, who entered his life, seemed lost.

As he got older, his father’s approach to Lucas’s marriage was calculated and devoid of affection.

“Ah, it’s really tough.”

Marion walked to the door, bit her lip, and found that she could not control herself. “Would you like a

sweet?”

As she spoke, her other hand had already opened up to reveal the mango–flavored candy tightly held

in her palm. Someone had once told her to eat candy whenever she felt unhappy.

The yellow candy wrapper sparkled under the light, and as if in a trance, she recalled something from

her childhood.

A girl of fifteen or sixteen sat dejectedly on the steps, and suddenly a guy in his twenties reached out

and handed her a candy, saying, “Eat a candy whenever you’re unhappy.”

The black eyes of Lucas moved, and he walked over, picking up the candy from Marion’s palm, “Is it

sweet?”

Hearing his words, Marion was momentarily stunned.

She licked her lips. “It’s sweet but not cloying.” She had eaten one while cooking the noodles for

Lucas.

It was a mango–flavored candy and after so many years, she still liked the taste.

“Have you tried it?”

Lucas casually asked while turning the candy in his hand.

“Yes, I have.”

“Oh, let me try then.”

He tore open the candy wrapper, but his dark gaze remained fixed on Marion’s lips.

Marion did not notice, and she watched as Lucas tore open

the wrapper.

He held the orange–yellow soft candy in his thin lips as it entered his mouth. She watched him

expectantly. “Is it delicious?”

“It’s okay.”

Marion was satisfied. “Well, I’ll freshen up and rest. Good night.”

“Good night.”

She closed the door with a ‘click‘.

Lucas looked down at the candy wrapper in his hand, and his lips curved into a smile.

Hmm, it was really sweet.
