Chapter 122 She Conveniently Forgot Him
Marion found it hard to comprehend. Disturbed by Lucas, she lost the motivation to continue practicing
and went back to her room. She reached for her phone to message Cassie.
Marion: [Cassie, I have a question. I have a friend who also plays the piano. She has a male friend who
suddenly told her he was in a bad mood and asked her to play Schumann’s ‘Traumerei’ for him.]
Cassie: [And then?]
Marion: [Schumann’s ‘Traumerei’ was composed for his lover, Clara, so it has a romantic vibe. At first,
my friend didn’t think much of it. She assumed her male friend didn’t know the backstory. But after she
finished playing, he suddenly said, “This piece is Schumann’s dedication to his lover Clara.’]
Cassie: [Oh, I see. What happened next?]
Marion: [After saying that, he formally thanked my friend. She felt like her male friend was playing some
mind games, but at the same time, she thought he wouldn’t do that…]
Cassie: [I get it. So, you mean Lucas told you he was not in a good mood today, had you play’

Now, you’re wondering what your husband is up to, right?]
Marion: [It’s not me,
it’s my friend!]
Cassie: [Okay, your friend. Please excuse my directness, but based on my twenty-six years of
singlehood experience, your husband, oh no, your friend’s male friend is probably confessing his
feelings.]
Cassie: [He’s quite the player, expressing his feelings in such a unique way! Ah, another day of having
this rubbed in my face!]
Marion: [No, you misunderstand, Cassie! It’s my friend! My friend…]
Cassie: [Which friend of yours? Oh, isn’t that me? Sweetheart, don’t overthink it. Your mysterious
husband is confessing to you, hurry up and do something about it! I’m out!]
Marion wanted to argue, but Cassie had already left the conversation.
She tossed her phone aside and touched her flushed face. Lucas had confessed to her?
Well, Cassie dared to think so! Marion decided not to dwell on the matter anymore, grabbed her
clothes, and hurriedly went to take a shower to prepare for bed.
Tomorrow, she had a charity performance to attend!
That night, Marion’s door opened with a ‘click’.
Lucas entered into darkness, but his eyes quickly adjusted and he walked confidently to Marion’s
bedside.

In the dim light, he gazed at the peacefully sleeping Marion with both greed and desire.
The mango-flavored candy in his mouth had completely melted, leaving a strong mango taste lingering
in his mouth.
At that moment, Marion suddenly whimpered.

She seemed to be dreaming about something, as she furrowed her brows and raised her hand to
sweep the thin blanket off her body.
Due to her movement, the loose neckline of her sleepwear revealed more of the sexy curves beneath
her clothes.
In the darkness, his eyes were black as the night concealed his surge of desire.
Lucas pulled the blanket back up to cover her body.
“Lucas,” a murmur escaped Marion’s lips, echoing clearly in the silent room.
He looked at her red lips, unable to restrain himself.
He lowered his head, then lightly kissed her lips.
However, it was just a gentle touch, and he restrained himself from going further.
Before leaving, Lucas cast one final glance at her, the beast within his gaze almost breaking free.
He closed his eyes and forcefully suppressed the wild beast in his heart.
He got up and left the room.
She was a silly little thing. She remembered the mango-flavored candy but conveniently forgot him.
