Chapter 121 Candy from the Other Day

Marion caught Lucas’s eye, and she felt uneasy.

Initially, she had intended to continue playing, but after a short segment, she found it challenging to

withstand the intensity of the man’s gaze. She stopped and asked, “Is there something you need Mr.

Craig?”

Lucas stood by the piano, his head lowered as his dark eyes fixed on her. “Have you been avoiding me

lately?”

When he spoke, his voice did not fluctuate. There was only a slight emphasis in his tone as if he were

casually asking a question.

Marion’s heart skipped a beat.

Unable to control herself, she remembered her erotic dream, and her face turned red once again.

She forced herself to keep a straight face and met Lucas’s gaze. “Oh, have I? I have a charity

performance tomorrow, so I’ve been practicing this piece…”

Lucas lightly tapped his hand on the piano. It seemed he had no intention of pressing the issue. “Is

there any of that candy from the other day left?”

“Huh?” Marion was taken aback by the unexpected question. After a moment of hesitation, she said, ”

Yes, I have some in my room.”

Marion looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, “Do you want some? I can go get it for

you.”

“Yes, please.”

Marion found his demeanor surprising. She fetched a handful of mango candies from her room and

returned to the piano room, where Lucas was waiting.

Marion offered them to him. “Do you need the piano?”

“Not in a great mood.”

He said something unrelated, his gaze falling on the mango candy in her palm. He reached out and

took one. “Play me a piece?”

Lucas sat calmly before the white piano, his eyes lowered. He appeared forlorn.

Marion was one to respond to kindness rather than toughness, especially since Lucas had mentioned

his not-so-good mood. Feeling guilty, she sat down beside him. “What would you like me to play?”

“Traumerei.”

The choice surprised Marion. It was a piece by Schumann dedicated to his lover, Clara-a universally

acknowledged musical love letter.

Chapter 121 Candy from the Other Day

2/2

Perhaps noticing her prolonged silence, Lucas put the candy from his palm into his pocket. “Don’t you

want to play this piece?” he asked.

“Not really…” Marion glanced at Lucas.

The man’s expression remained as cool and indifferent as ever, showing no signs of anything unusual.

She must have overthought it.

The piece was soothing and gentle, narrating a tranquil, beautiful, and pleasant story.

Although it was a piece dedicated to a lover, the romance was not particularly pronounced. It felt more

like Schumann calmly sharing the beautiful moments he once experienced with his beloved.
