Chapter 176 She Made the First Move

Lucas gazed at Marion, her neck to face all flushed with crimson. In his dark eyes, a hint of amusement

flickered.

Marion kept her head down, contemplating whether the idea of changing planets was a viable solution.

She could not see the faint sparkling amusement in his black eyes.

The awkward yet oddly sensual atmosphere lingered for about half a minute.

After composing herself, Marion finally lifted her head and faced Lucas again. “I’m sorry, Mr. Craig. I

didn’t expect to do something like sleepwalking…”

“I understand that the harm has already been done. No matter how many apologies you offer,

won’t change things. So, here’s the deal. Suggest a solution that satisfies you. As long as it’s legal, I

can agree to it.”

Who would not feel angry when they were abruptly awakened in the middle of the night, only to have

their ear nibbled and collarbone kissed by the opposite sex? Lucas was quite lenient not to scold her

last night.

After Marion spoke, she sat upright, ready to accept responsibility. Lucas remained silent, his hand.

beside him tapped lightly on the surface.

“As long as it’s not illegal?” he asked.

Marion nodded, “As long as it’s within my capabilities and legal, I’m willing to do it.”

“Hmm.”

He responded indifferently, “Then come closer.”

Could it be that he wanted to scold her? If he did, she would accept it. After all, she was not exactly

Marion looked at him, blinked her eyes, hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and leaned towards.

him.

Their distance suddenly closed, and the familiar scent became more distinct and intense.

Marion clutched her clothes, breathing a bit rapidly. “And then?” she asked, waiting for a while without

feeling any movement from the person in front of her. When she lifted her head, she saw Lucas gazing

at her with a profound intensity.

Marion’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. Lucas’ dark eyes shifted, and in the next moment, she heard

him speak, “You don’t need to do anything, but I happen to like—”

He paused, and in Marion’s perplexed gaze, he bent down, his thin lips pressing against her

collarbone.

A gentle touch, and then he pulled away. “Reciprocity.”

Marion’s mind felt momentarily emptied, and she sat there like a wooden figure, staring at him.

Lucas glanced at her. “Do you still want to occupy my bed?” he asked pointedly.

The question brought Marion back to her senses. She hurriedly got off the bed. “I-I’m leaving now!”

Without bothering to put on slippers, she ran back to her room.

The man watched her rapidly disappearing figure at the doorway, his gaze becoming intense.

Could she escape him?

She could not.

Marion returned to her room, locked the door behind her, and lay on the bed. She stared at the white

ceiling and absentmindedly reached up to touch the collarbone that Lucas had just kissed.

Why did he kiss her?

Oh, he said he liked ‘reciprocity’.

It was she who made the first move.

Marion had never thought she had so many quirks before. Now that she was living in the same house.

as Lucas, she realized how many quirks she had. Should she consider seeing a psychologist? It was

the first time in her life that she discovered she could sleepwalk!

Thinking about it, Marion’s embarrassment over her peculiar behavior lessened a bit. She quickly

grabbed her phone and sent a message to Cassie: [Cass! Can I sleepwalk at night?]

Cassie, who was preparing to go back to sleep after getting up early to use the bathroom, was

suddenly confused when she received Marion’s message: [What? When did you start sleepwalking at

night?]

After sending the message, Cassie suddenly realized what she had missed: [How do you know your

sleepwalk? What happened last night? Spill the beans!]
