Chapter 259 A Close Call

In the next moment, Marion found herself being handed a box of candies.

“A business trip gift.”

Marion looked at the box of candies. “Thanks.”

She should not have complained just now!

“Rest early so you can recover quickly.”

Marion, who originally wanted to share the candies, hesitated. “Alright.”

The man glanced at her lowered eyes, loosened the top button of his collar, and said, “I’ll escort you

back to your room.”

“Oh, no-”

Before she could refuse, Marion was already carried by Lucas.

The refreshing scent of wood instantly approached, and she subconsciously tightened her grip around

his neck.

Actually, having a leg injury was not that bad!

Realizing what she was thinking, Marion quickly pinched herself.

Stop it! How could she have such naughty thoughts?

Fortunately, Lucas soon carried her to the door of the room.

When Marion was put down, she quickly released her grip, too afraid to meet those black eyes. She

glanced briefly at him before avoiding eye contact, saying, ” I’ll go rest now.”

“Okay.”

Lucas replied, but he did not leave.

Marion looked at him, blinked, and nervously tightened her grip on the candy box. “Mr. Craig, would

you like to try these mango–flavored candies?”

For some reason, she just wanted to taste them together with him.

“Sure.”

Upon hearing his response, Marion quickly unwrapped the packaging, opened the box, and took two

candies out. She gave one to Lucas before popping one into her mouth.

It was so sour!

“Wait!”

She stopped Lucas from eating the candy. “It’s a bit sour.

Her brow was slightly furrowed as she said this.

“I can tell.”

Lucas said, reaching around her hand and tossing the candy into his mouth.

It was indeed sour.

However, the sourness was nothing compared to how unbearable it was four days. without her. The

person before him would not know how much Lucas wanted to pull her into his embrace at this

moment.

Lucas lowered his gaze, concealing all the burning emotions within.

Meanwhile, after the initial layer of tartness slowly dissipated, the candy in Marion’s mouth began to

sweeten. This sweetness was different from the

previous one, and she could not quite describe it.

Perhaps the initial burst of sourness had lowered her taste buds‘ expectations. Now, she felt like the

candy was much tastier than she had imagined.

She poked the candy with her tongue and looked at Lucas. “It’s sweet now.”

For a moment, Marion felt a strange sense of déjà vu, as if she had once shared a candy with someone

before.

“Do you like it?” The man’s deep voice sounded, bringing her back to reality.

She looked at Lucas and felt her heart beating fast. “I do.”

How could she not like it?

“Alright.” Lucas nodded. “Get some rest.

“Okay.”

Marion stood there, feeling oddly reluctant to leave.

Realizing her emotions, she quickly spoke, “I’ll take my rest now. Goodnight, Mr. Craig!”

“Goodnight.”

As the door closed, Marion leaned against it, letting out a sigh of relief.

That was a close one. She almost spilled the beans.

Outside the door, Lucas pushed the candy in his mouth with his tongue, staring at the closed door with

eyes like surging waves. Emotions rolled one after another.

After four days without seeing him, did his little bunny not miss him at all?

The thought displeased him. Frowning, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Hearing the knock, Marion paused.

She opened the door, looking at Lucas still standing there. “What’s up?”

“I forgot to mention, Mrs. Craig. I really liked your Valentine’s gift.”

Marion’s face flushed instantly. “Uh, I’m glad you liked it.

“That’s all.”

Marion did not move. Instead, she looked at him. “I really liked your Valentine’s gift too. Thanks.”

“Alright, goodnight.”

After saying this, Lucas turned and walked towards his room.

Marion watched his retreating figure. Thinking about what he had just said, her heart felt inexplicably

sweet…

Oh, she meant the candy in her mouth.
