NovelEnglishChapter 360 Why Are You Smiling? “It's very sweet.” “No way!” Marion did not think it was sweet at all. She picked up the last piece of the cake from the plate and took a bite. It was soft and delicious.
“Just a little sweet!” He grabbed a wet towel and leisurely wiped his hands. “Maybe it's sweeter because you fed me.” Marion nearly choked on the cake.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLucas chuckled. “Are you full?” “Yes.” Marion glanced down at her slightly bulging belly. It was more than just being full, she was stuffed! “Wanna go home?” “Sure.” She needed to take a walk when they got hotherwise, she would not digest her food properly, and her tummy would be in real trouble! Lucas took her hand, and the two of them left the private room. Just a few steps out of the room, a voice that Marion did recognize called out, “Lucas?” Marion instinctively turned her head to look. A middle-aged woman in a dark green dress had just emerged from the adjacent room. She looked at Lucas and Marion, her pression slightly surprised. She quickly composed herself.
“Hello, Aunt Mindy.” Mindy looked at Marion. “Is this Marion?” Marion was caught off guard. She had not expected to encounter Lucas’s aunt.
She was nowhere near as composed as she had been when facing Lucas’s Arthur and Veronica. Although her facial expression remained dignified, she was panicking inside.
Sensing her nervousness, Lucas gently squeezed her hand and introduced Marion to Mindy Kale- Craig, “Aunt Mindy, this is Marion, my wife.” “Marion, this is Aunt Mindy.” Lucas’s aunt seemed much easier to get along with than Arthur and Veronica.
Mindy had a warm smile on her face when she looked at Marion and Lucas. “I've heard about you. You're even more beautiful in person than in photos.” Chapter 360 Why Are You Smiling? 2/2 Marion tried to steady her emotions and looked up at Lucas’s aunt, politely addressing her, “Thank you, Aunt Mindy.” “Ah, what a good child!” Mindy smiled, “Your uncle returned from abroad last week and has been waiting for both of you to have a meal together. Since we've met today, that makes things easier. Tomorrow night, cover for dinner, okay?” Marion instinctively looked at Lucas, and he reassured her with a glance, “Sounds good.” “All right, you two go on with your date. I'm out with sfriends today.” “Okay, we'll make a move then.” “Yes, go ahead.” Marion quickly spoke up, “Goodbye, Aunt Mindy.” “See you tomorrow, Marion.” “Okay, Aunt Mindy.” As they turned to leave, Marion could still hear Mindy telling her friends about how good-looking she thought Marion was. Mindy’s voice was not particularly loud, but since there were not many people in the corridor, Marion and Lucas could hear every word she said.
Already feeling embarrassed, Marion blushed even more upon hearing Mindy’s compliments.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLucas looked at her, “Aunt Mindy is right.” She pursed her lips. “Then why are you smiling?” “You're my wife and I'm honored.” How did she not notice before that Lucas was so good with words? The evening turned out to be quite an eventful one-encountering Lucas’s aunt and then bumping into Amber.
When she saw Amber, Marion instinctively leaned towards Lucas.
Amber seemed reserved. She just smiled at them, greeted them, and walked away.
She was so casual as if nothing had happened between them.
