Chapter 45 Please Let Me Explain
The unexpected turn of events plunged the atmosphere into an unprecedented awkwardness. Despite
seeing all sorts of situations in her life, Marion was sure that she had never experienced such
embarrassment before!
She blushed, then propped herself up on the bed. “I’m sorry, I wasn’t sitting properly.”
Lucas looked at her thoughtfully, and in his deep, inscrutable eyes, there was a rare glimpse of his true
feelings. “Would you like to take a bath before we continue?”
Lumina City was already in the midst of summer in June. For the sake of her injured leg, Marion wore
skirts every day. Today was no exception. She wore a light chiffon dress that felt comfortable against
her skin.
However, chiffon fabric stained with red wine was less comfortable. The chiffon tightly adhered to her

Marion’s face grew even redder. “I’m sorry. I’ll take a bath first.”
“Your clothes are in the dressing room.”
Lucas stepped back, creating space for her to leave. Marion quickly got off the bed and hopped on one
foot into the dressing room. The dressing room was over twenty square meters in size and contained
mostly women’s clothing.
She chose a dress, and as she turned around to leave, she found that even underwear and lingerie
were prepared inside the dressing room.
Marion was momentarily stunned but did not dwell on it too much. Lucas had mentioned her moving in
next week, and these things were probably arranged by his secretary.
Marion re–entered the room. The splint on her shin had not been removed, so it would make bathing
quite troublesome. But then to her surprise, there was a shower stool in the bathroom.
Half an hour later, when Marion emerged from the bathroom, she found Lucas holding her phone. She
stiffened, thinking about Cassie’s words. Could he have seen it?
Marion nervously tried to retrieve her phone, but Lucas held it back. “I didn’t mean to pry. I just
happened to see your phone drop on the floor. When I picked it up, I accidentally glimpsed at the
messages your friend sent you.”
He paused. “So, are you really marrying me just to get away from Jameson?”
“Of course! I know it sounds a bit far–fetched, but it’s genuinely the best solution I could think of!”
“Is it?”
He returned the phone to her, lips curled. He chuckled. “I find it a bit hard to believe.”
As Marion took her phone back, Lucas spoke again. “Maybe you should see what your friend sent you.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMarion had a bad premonition-
Sure enough, as she unlocked the screen and entered the conversation with Cassie, there was a
moment when Marion wished she could disappear from the face of the Earth!
Cassie: [Mar, don’t feel pressured. You’re legally married now–and legally allowed to bed Lucas! Okay,
I won’t disturb your bridal night. Goodbye, and remember to take care of your still–healing leg!]
The unread portion of the message was limited, but Lucas could probably see the part that mentioned
‘legally allowed to bed Lucas.‘ Cassie’s message, no matter how Lucas read it, made Marion feel
utterly speechless.
Her ears turned crimson, and she barely breathed. Marion fell silent for a while as she held her phone.
Then she summoned the courage to look at the seemingly unperturbed man. “Please let me explain.”
