Chapter 80 Home Sweet Home, Mrs. Craig
Lucas’s voice became significantly deeper and took on a husky tone. Marion felt guilty and dared not
tease him further. “Go ahead and sleep,” she said.
“Shh, quiet,” he replied.
“I know,” she whispered.
She was not that noisy, was she? The car suddenly fell silent. Marion glanced out the window, and her
mood began to drop.
Despite her age, she had never cohabited with a man before. Even though their relationship was not
conventional, and cohabitation was part of the act, sharing the same roof, especially with Lucas, made
her nervous. Moreover, Lucas’s villa had only one bedroom.
The car’s confined space heightened Lucas’s woody scent. His fragrance seemed to have a calming
effect on her. Marion sat inhaling it as she slowly drifted off to sleep.

Lucas’s driver steered the car smoothly, while Marion slept soundly. At one point, her head knocked
against the car window.
Meanwhile, the man next to her, who had claimed to be tired, watched Marion,
who had dozed off.
The sunlight outside cast a warm glow on her porcelain face.
As the car stopped at a red light, Marion swayed lightly and bumped her forehead against the glass.
It looked painful, but she showed no signs of waking up.
She could still sleep so soundly.
Lucas smiled, reached over, and pulled her towards him. He rested her head on his broad shoulders.
Compared to the stiffness of the window, his sturdy shoulders would be much more comfortable.
Marion was fully aware of the change. She even adjusted her position and shifted slightly to find a more
comfortable spot.
Satisfied, she continued to doze off. Lucas, unable to resist, reached out and pinched her cheek lightly.
As she was sleeping so soundly, she did not react to the tease.

Twenty minutes later, the car came to a gentle stop. Liam was about to speak but saw Lucas’s signal
for him to stay silent.
Liam promptly shut his mouth when he noticed Marion sleeping. He got out of the car and took the
initiative to move the luggage into the villa.
Marion was awakened by Lucas’s vibrating phone.
Still groggy, she opened her eyes and looked at Lucas who was only inches away from her.
Without much thought, she asked, “Have we arrived?”
“Are you awake?” Lucas inquired.

Feeling a soreness in her waist, Marion tried to stretch her arms lazily. However,
as her hands moved, she suddenly froze. Why were her hands holding onto Lucas’s hands?
Marion glanced down and then at Lucas, abruptly realizing what had happened. I didn’t mean to!”
She hastily withdrew her hands, and her drowsiness vanished in her startled state.
What had she done? She had slept while hugging Lucas’s arm and had leaned against his shoulder!
Marion had never been so embarrassed in her life. If it were possible, she would close her eyes and go
back to sleep to avoid the current situation. She had not done it on purpose!
She just liked to hold onto something when she slept. She was certain that she had fallen asleep
leaning on the side of the car window. How did she end up waking up in Lucas’s embrace?
“Is that so?” He glanced at her casually and then opened the car door. “Home sweet home, Mrs. Craig.”
