Chapter 9 Married to Lucas
Two hours later, Marion sat beside Lucas, holding the marriage certificate in her hands, feeling
incredibly mind–blown.
How did she end up registering her marriage with Lucas?
She had intended to sincerely apologize to him on the way and explain everything clearly. How did it
escalate to the point of registering for a marriage?
Marion’s emotions were more complicated than ever. She bit her lip and turned her head to look at
Lucas.
The name “Lucas” had been heard for seven or eight years. Marion never expected that this name
would appear on her marriage certificate one day.
When the car stopped, Marion’s mind was still chaotic.
“It seems that Mrs. Craig is not very satisfied with our wedding photos,” a deep male voice spoke
beside her. Marion snapped back to reality. The title “Mrs. Craig” had startled her. Her hand trembled,
and the marriage certificate fell onto Lucas’s leather shoes.
Bending down, Lucas picked up the certificate and handed it to her. “Looks like you’re not satisfied.”

Looking at the photo on the marriage certificate, the two people within that one–inch picture did not
appear as discordant as she had imagined.
During the recent photo shoot, the photographer had asked her to smile. Her mind was blank, and she
instinctively started to smile.
Marion had a pair of beautiful round–shaped eyes. When she smiled, her eyes sparkled with a radiant
light, offsetting the sharp features of Lucas beside her. In the photo, the two of them looked…
somewhat compatible.
“Hmm,” Lucas responded nonchalantly. He got out of the car, circled to Marion’s side, and then bent
down to lift her out of the car.
Being carried like a princess by him for the entire morning, Marion had become quite shameless. She
hooked her arms around Lucas’s neck, one hand still clutching the two marriage certificates.
Lucas placed her back in her wheelchair. Before leaving, he suddenly stooped in front of her and
looked directly into her eyes.
Feeling embarrassed under his intense gaze, Marion could not help but turn her head away. “You
should go, Mr. Craig.”
“One week.”
His dark eyes flickered, and he straightened up, looking down at her. He added, “One week later, I’ll

come to pick up Mrs. Craig.”

Marion was shocked by his words, and as he turned to leave, she quickly reached out to pull him back.
Originally, she just wanted to tug at Lucas’s sleeve, but her hand moved too quickly. Her slender fingers
were directly entwined with his index finger.
Quickly retracting her hand, Marion curled her fingers apologetically. “I’m sorry.”
Without saying anything, Lucas turned back, glanced at the finger that had been pulled, and left.
The phrase “One week later, I’ll come to pick up Mrs. Craig” tormented Marion to the point where she
could not eat.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe felt that Lucas was doing that intentionally. She imposed such a rude and outrageous demand for
‘marriage‘ and now he seemed to be ‘getting back‘ at her. She had not told Richard about the marriage
registration yet.
When Cassie’s video call came, Marion was not in the mood to eat anymore. She put down her fork,
picked up her phone, and pushed her wheelchair to the sofa.
“Marion, have you eaten?”
“I just ate. I’m not feeling very hungry.”
Marion hesitated for a moment, intending to confess about registering her marriage with Lucas to
Cassie. However, before she could speak, she heard Cassie on the other side of the video call,
seething with anger. “Sally is shameless! The slap you gave her yesterday wasn’t enough! But we don’t
need to feel guilty for this woman. She’s going to meet her downfall sooner or later! Even Jameson,
that scumbag…”
At first, Marion thought Cassie was still upset about yesterday morning’s incident, but as she continued
listening, something felt wrong.
