Chapter 346 Are You Hinting at Me, Mrs. Craig? On the way back, Marion immediately pretended to be asleep.

After parking the car, Lucas lifted her in his arms.

Marion’s eyelashes fluttered lightly as she nestled against him. Lucas glanced at her but did not say anything, carrying her straight upstairs into the master bedroom.

In the dimly lit bedroom, Marion realized with a jolt that she would be sharing the bed with Lucas tonight. This realization made it impossible for her to continue pretending to sleep! She quickly feigned waking up.

Marion sat at the kitchen island, too nervous to return upstairs. However, before she could decide what to do, Lucas cdown to join her.

“Still up for a movie?” He asked, a playful glint in his eyes.

Marion nodded eagerly. Watching movies all night sounded like a good plan.

“Let's go, then. It's still early,” Lucas said. Though in truth, it was not that early. Usually, by this time, Marion would already be getting ready for bed.

She followed Lucas to the basement family theater, whee handed her a stack of films to choose from. “You pick first. I'll go upstairs and bring down sfree offered.

“You don’t have to,” Marion replied.

“It's no trouble,” he insisted, flashing her a charming smile before disappearing upstairs.

As Marion waited nervously, ber heart was pounding. She quickly texted Cassie for help. [Cassie, quick! What do | do? I'm about to share a bed with Lucas tonight!] Puzzled, Cassie replied with a question mark Marion glanced at the empty bed, afraid that Lucas would return soon, and typed back frantically, [ Cassie, | think I might be in over my head. It’s past ten on a weekend night, and I'm about to dive into the deep end with Lucas!] [Oh, Marion, you're overreacting! It's just a cozy weekend night. Stop feedingdrama!] Cassie's reply popped up on her screen.

Chapter 346 Are You Hinting at Me, Mrs. Craig? 2/2 Marion felt flustered. [I'm serious, Cassie! I'm really freaking out here!] Cassie: [Freaking out about what? You don’t even have to do anything!] Marion sighed internally. How could she have thought Cassie would have a solution to her predicament? Just as Marion was lost in her thoughts, another message from Cassie popped up on her screen. She thought maybe Cassie had a change of heart and decided to help her out. However, before she could check, the door swung open, and Lucas entered carrying a tray of sliced fruits and freshly squeezed juice.

Marion’s hand shook, causing her phone to slip and fall right at Lucas’ feet! Quickly, she reached out to retrieve it, but she was too late.

She watched in dismay as Lucas picked up her phone and glanced at the screen, then looked back at her. “Miss Greaves'’s suggestion isn’t bad,” he remarked casually.

Confused, Marion hurriedly took her phone back. When she read Cassie's reply, she was dumbfounded.

Lucas had seen everything! “Are we still watching the movie?” His voice, light with amusement, interrupted Marion's thoughts. She looked up at him, her face flushed. “We...

we were just kidding,” she stammered.

“It was a good suggestion. If we're not watching the movie, Ill go upstairs and prepare saromatherapy for you,” Lucas suggested.

Marion was at a loss for words.

Was there any way out of this now? Seeing her embarrassment, Lucas decided not to tease her further. He picked a movie to play. “Chere,” he said as he reached out to pull her into his arms.

8 Marion instinctively met his gaze as he looked down at her. “I didn’t get to hold you just now,” he murmured.

Her face flushed even hotter. She wanted to retort that Lucas had not kissed her just now, either. However, she did not dare.

Maybe it was because of Cassie’s words, but Marion found it hard to focus on the movie. Over ten minutes had passed, and she was still distracted.

Lucas noticed and clicked his tongue. Suddenly, he looked down at her and asked, “Are you hinting at me, Mrs.

Craig?”
