Chapter 103 My Mrs. Craig
It was only Lucas and Marion in the living room. Marion felt guilty and avoided eye contact with
Lucas.
Before she could figure out how to start the conversation, she heard him ask, “Are you close to Ronda?
“Not really,” Marion replied.
Lucas remained silent as he sat down and cast a meaningful glance her way.
Marion tried to appease him by pushing the watermelon and grapes toward him.
“Have some watermelon. It’s really sweet.”
Lucas looked at Marion as she enthusiastically promoted the watermelon. There was a hint of a smile
in his dark eyes. However, in an instant, he resumed his cool demeanor. “I don’t like sweet things.”
Unlike ‘rabbits‘.
Marion raised an eyebrow in confusion. Should she tell him that the watermelon was not that sweet?
As she took a bite of the watermelon, she suddenly noticed something. “Mr. Craig, may I ask you a
presumptuous question?”
Lucas looked at her and raised his eyebrows as he signaled for her to proceed.

Marion was not trying to pick a fight but was genuinely puzzled.
“You might have misunderstood,” Lucas explained. Marion looked at him expectantly.
“Whether it’s watermelon or grapes, I didn’t order them. The housekeeper arranged for it.”
He casually leaned back on the sofa and calmly added, “Perhaps the housekeeper thought my Mrs.
Craig likes sweet things and wants to please you.”
For some reason, Lucas’s explanation was oddly fitting. Although they were not a real couple, she was,
in fact, his Mrs. Craig.
But when the words “My Mrs. Craig” came out of Lucas’s mouth, Marion felt abashed.
She raised her hand to touch her warm ears. “Ah, I see.”
It was awkward. She decided that she should avoid asking such presumptuous questions in the future.
Marion sighed inwardly.
Thinking about poor Mrs. Bailey, she mustered the courage to ask, “Was today’s lunch not to your liking
because the pine nut fish and sweet and sour spare ribs were too sweet?”
Lucas glanced at her. “Isn’t it?”

“What do you mean by ‘isn’t it‘?”
“Yes, and yet not entirely.”
Was Lucas teasing her?
Marion finished the watermelon, sighed, and suppressed her emotions. “I asked Mrs. Bailey to make
lunch today. She did a good job, and the dishes were delicious. Will you keep her on?”
She carefully watched him, fearing that a simple ‘no‘ would determine Mrs. Bailey’s fate.
Lucas looked into her round eyes. There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes. It made it hard for
Marion to be firm with him.
“If you like her, you can keep her on as a cook.”
Marion relaxed, and she sincerely said, “Thank you.”
“Hmm.”

He was quite easy to appease.
Marion thought Lucas was quite a good man. Even though he could be a bit meticulous at times.
Thinking of Mrs. Bailey’s livelihood, Marion mustered the courage to ask, “Mr. Craig, let’s discuss
something.”
“What do you want to discuss?”
He opened his eyes. His black eyes stared at her.
“As Mrs. Craig, I feel it’s not quite appropriate for me not to know your interests and hobbies. Don’t you
think so?”
He was not sure which part of her words amused him but his thin lips moved slightly, and he smiled
at her.
His stern eyes suddenly softened. It was cold yet enchanting.
Her heart skipped a beat, and her face grew warm.
