NovelEnglishChapter 403 Are You Angry? Lucas broke three antacids and handed them to her, “Next time, don't eat so much. If you like the food, we can come here again,’ Marion was initially embarrassed, and hearing his words made her blush even more. She reached out, took the antacids from his palm, and chewed them, mumbling, “I didn’t mean to eat so much.” She was hungry and had eaten a bit too quickly.
Usually, she ate slowly and methodically, but today she devoured her food like a hungry wolf, hardly bothering to chew before swallowing.
She had forgotten that if the food was not chewed properly and eaten quickly, it did not reach the stomach, so one would not feel full and would end up eating too much.
Lucas gently touched her head, “I'm not blaming you. Eating too much isn’t good for the stomach.” Marion swallowed the antacids obediently and nodded, “I won't do it next time.” He smiled as he took her hand in his, “Let's go home, Mrs. Craig.” Marion nodded, “Yes, let's go.” She was exhausted and just wanted to go home, take a shower, and sleep.

Seeing Kirk, Marion could not help but recall Lucas’s question earlier.

‘Ah, this really hits close to home!" Greg thought to himself.
Lucas nodded, “Marion is a bit tired today, so we'll leave first.” With that, he took Marion's hand and walked out.
Kirk stood there, watching their retreating figures, his expression growing colder by the moment.
Fearing that Kirk might act impulsively, Greg whispered to him, “They're married! Legally protected as husband and wife. You...
should find someone else to like!” Marion was already being led downstairs by Lucas, while Kirk withdrew his gaze and glanced at Greg, “Easier said than done.” Three years had passed, and it was not as simple as finding someone new.

If he had, the one holding Marion's hand tonight would have been him, not Lucas.
The thought left Kirk feeling even worse.
