Chapter 113 Oh, It’s the Watchdog!
Lucas observed her for a moment.
His Adam’s apple rolled slightly, and he responded in a deep voice, “It’s very beautiful.”
After saying that, he looked away and lifted his hand to touch the top button of his shirt.
His dark eyes grew even darker. Did the little rabbit dress up so nicely because she feared he had too
much self–control? He could not help but think about tearing off the “packaging” himself.
The car started moving slowly, and Marion breathed a sigh of relief.
It was her first time meeting Lucas’s parents, and even though she was not his ‘real‘ wife, she still
carried the title. The more she thought about it, the more nervous she became.
Inside the car, it was quiet, and the occasional waft of sandalwood reminded her that Lucas was in the
car with her.
Marion glanced over and noticed Lucas dozing off. She relaxed her inquisitive thoughts and took out
her phone to search for information about the Craig family.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, there was not much information about the Craig family online. The only available content was
photos of Lucas’s father, stepmother, and his half–brother. Marion thought for a moment and
decided to ask Cassie.
Despite being a professional gossip enthusiast in her social circle, Cassie didn’t know much more
about the Craig family than what was available on a typical Google search.
Cassie: [Why are you suddenly asking about the Craig family]
Marion: [I’m going to dinner at the Craig residence with Lucas today…]
Cassie: [Oh, I forgot you haven’t met his parents. I don’t know much about the Craig family either,
babe, you’re on your own!]
Since Cassie did not know much either, Marion decided to be more direct. After all, she had already
offended Lucas’s parents that day.
Her mind was occupied until the car came to a stop. Marion then collected her thoughts and elegantly
waited for the driver to open the door.
As Lucas got out of the car, he turned and extended his hand to her. Marion hesitated for a moment but
quickly placed her hand in his palm.
Lovey–dovey, lovey–dovey, lovey–dovey comes first! Marion secretly pacified herself, trying to ignore
Lucas’s warm palm.
The Craig family villa was quite grand, and Marion felt a sense of solemnity just by looking at the
facade.

The one welcoming them at the door was the Craig family’s old butler, Ronald Wesley, a man in his
fifties. He smiled kindly at Lucas, but when his gaze fell on Marion’s face, all politeness disappeared
and was replaced by a cold expression.
Ronald immediately spoke to Lucas, “Mr. Craig, your father said that tonight is a family banquet. What
about this young lady?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was clear that Ronald did not have much regard for Marion and had no intention of acknowledging
her identity.
Marion felt annoyed by Ronald’s attitude but refrained from directly confronting him to avoid being
impolite.
Taking a cue from Ronald, Marion looked at Lucas and asked, “Who is this, Lucas?”
“The butler, Ronald Wesley.”
“Oh, it’s the watchdog!” Marion blurted out.
She was wide–eyed as she covered her mouth, the words had slipped out unintentionally.
Ronald blushed as he looked at Lucas. “Sir, what do you think?”
Lucas looked at Ronald. “So, are you saying that I can’t go in?”
His words were light yet they carried a weight that could not be ignored.
Lucas’s tone made the old butler stiffen, and he stammered, “Not at all, Sir.”
He glanced at Lucas and dared not say anything more. Then he turned to lead the way inside.
