Chapter 289 Wake Up, Lucas!

“Did I wake you up?” Lucas asked.

Marion felt embarrassed. “No, I just need to use the bathroom!”

It was too urgent! She could not hold it in anymore.

She quickly got up and walked towards the bathroom. When she returned, Lucas was still in the room.

He raised an eyebrow, “Still want supper?”

Marion chuckled nervously, “How about I cook some noodles?”

“Sure,” Lucas agreed as he unbuttoned the top of his shirt.

It had been almost a week since Marion saw him do that. She instinctively averted her gaze.

What was there to look at? She turned her eyes away. “I’ll go downstairs to cook the noodles.”

She had been wearing low–heeled sandals all day and felt the soreness in her legs.

Despite that, Marion went downstairs and began to prepare the noodles.

She initially thought Lucas saying he had no appetite for dinner was just an excuse until she saw the

food in the trash can in the kitchen. Marion realized he had not been lying.

The groceries in the refrigerator were arranged by Daniel and delivered twice a week on Mondays and

Thursdays.

They were mostly things she and Lucas liked.

On weekends, she would let Mrs. Bailey take home whatever was not consumed.

As Marion had not been at home that day, Mrs. Bailey did not dare take anything in the fridge withou

permission. There were still lots of ingredients, so Marion cooked two bowls of beef noodles.

As soon as she finished cooking, Lucas walked in. “I’ll carry it.”

Somehow, another button on his shirt had come loose. What did that mean? Was he trying to seduce

her again?

‘Humph! I don’t care! Let anyone who wants to look, have a go!‘ Marion thought to herself.

Without glancing at him, Marion walked past him with her fork and spoon in hand, exited the kitchen,

and sat down at the dining table in her usual seat.

Lucas soon came out with the two steaming bowls of beef noodles. It was likely more than they could

eat and soon they were sitting across from each other.

In the past, Marion would have started a conversation to ease the awkward atmosphere between them.

But this time, she did not even have the desire to initiate a discussion.

What was the use of saying anything? They were nothing more than a fake couple in a fake marriage.

There were no outsiders now, so let it be awkward. As long as she did not focus on the awkwardness it

would be okay.

“What did you buy today?” Lucas said into the silence.

Marion had been considering whipping out her phone to play a game to pass the time.

At his question, her hand slipped, and she accidentally tapped on the voice message that Cassie had

just sent. “What’s going on with Lucas? Just now, a woman downstairs asked me for your contact

information. She said he’d been waiting there since 8 o’clock!”

Marion quickly exited her WhatsApp chat. “I’m sorry, my friend-

As she spoke, it suddenly hit her. “Were you waiting for me?”

Lucas pulled out a tissue to wipe his hands. “Yes, it’s hard to get a cab on Sunday nights.”

His tone was indifferent, just like when he asked her if she wanted supper!

Marion was stunned, “But, but you didn’t tell me!”

He had been waiting at Cassie’s place since 8 o’clock, and she only went down at 9:30. Did he spend

the whole time waiting for her?

“You didn’t reply to my messages. I thought maybe your phone had run out of battery,” Lucas explained

calmly.

Marion was speechless.

‘Wake up, Lucas! Why would you assume such a thing? I was at my best friend’s place so how could
