Chapter 108 Quite a Serious Issue
The sunlight lingered behind Lucas as he walked in. It cast his face into a shadow as he entered the
slightly dim interior of the room.
“Good afternoon, Mr. Craig.”
The entrance hall of the villa had clear glass ceilings, and as Lucas walked in, sunlight illuminated his
face.
Although his expression remained cool, the harshness seemed to fade. However, as he moved further
into the house and approached Marion, the dimmer light made him appear cold again.
Marion saw a blur of movement before a stack of documents appeared in front of her. “Compiled by
Daniel Price. It includes my interests and some taboos I stay clear of.
Marion hesitated for a moment, recalling their conversation at lunch. She quickly reached out and
took the stack. “Oh, thank you, Mr. Craig, and thank you, Daniel.”
“Hmm.” He nodded, as he scrutinized her for a moment before asking, “Can you swim?”
Marion nodded, “Yes, I can. I even participated in the provincial team selection during junior high…”
Realizing that she might have shared too much, Marion stopped herself.
She touched her slightly flushed earlobe and looked at Lucas shyly. “Is something wrong, Mr. Craig?”

“Nothing. There’s a swimming pool outside, near the dining room. If you want to swim, you don’t have
to go elsewhere.”
Having moved in just two days ago, Marion had not explored the vast castle–like mansion
thoroughly. Without Lucas mentioning it, she would not have known that there was a swimming pool
on the premises.
“Alright, I got it. Thank you, Mr. Craig.”
“Hmm.” He nodded, “I’m going swimming. If you need anything, you can find me there.”
“Okay.”
What business could she have with him anyway?
Soon, Marion found herself contradicting her own thoughts. She did have something to discuss with
Lucas!
In the information brief Daniel provided, Lucas’s preferences, what he liked to eat and what he did not,
were clearly listed. The first three pages contained Lucas’s impressive achievements and experiences,
making Marion’s own history seem quite ordinary.
As a diligent wife keeping up the appearances of their marriage, Marion decided to read through those
three pages thoroughly. She even planned to jot down some of Lucas’s awards later to avoid any

shortcomings in social situations.
After that, she turned to the fourth page, which detailed Lucas’s dietary preferences. He disliked sweet,
sour, spicy, and bitter flavors, favoring a bland palate instead.

“Well, if he doesn’t like sweet or sour, does that mean he doesn’t eat fruits? Aren’t fruits either sweet or
slightly sour?” Marion muttered to herself, realizing the potential challenge of catering to Lucas’s
taste.
“Oh, avocados are an exception to this.”
Could it be that Lucas liked avocados? Although she enjoyed them too, avocados were perfect for
salads, sushi, and juices, but eating them on their own was a bit much for her.
The detailed description of Lucas’s dietary preferences took a whole two pages. Marion could not help
but appreciate Daniel’s dedicated effort.
She even considered personally thanking Daniel for his hard work.

question: Was there anything Lucas could not do?
The tenth page listed things that Lucas disliked. Marion skimmed through it, and to her surprise,
Lucas’s dislikes took up a whopping five pages!
Five pages!
‘What did Lucas hate? ‘Marion wondered.
Things like hating people with no sense of time, disliking those who were untidy, and so on did not
concern her much. However, when it came to “hating women who approached within half an arm’s
length, disliking unwarranted touches, and hating women in general,” that was a serious problem,
considering she was a woman!
The issue was quite severe. Marion thought about Lucas’s preferences and immediately headed to the
swimming pool with the information in hand.
