Chapter 218 Had Lucas Kissed Her?
Upon hearing the term ‘Sweetie‘, Lucas’s eyes darkened.
“Are you saying that even if she genuinely likes you, you wouldn’t mind?”
“It’s good to respect people’s sexual orientations, you know. Besides, I’m not into that.”
“What about me then?”
Lucas chuckled, looking at the woman before him who was contradicting herself. “What am I to you?”
Marion blinked, instinctively responding, “My husband!”
Was that not widely known?
“Oh, so you know that I’m your husband.”
Was it her misconception?
Why did Marion feel Lucas’s words had a slightly resentful tone to them?
Marion thought about her conversation earlier. She had been too busy chatting with Alice and did not
pay much attention to Lucas by her side.
Thinking about it, she suddenly felt guilty. Quickly moving closer to Lucas, she tiptoed and whispered in
his ear with a voice only the two of them could hear, “It’s okay, Mr. Craig. There weren’t many people

affectionate couple!”
Those attending Alice’s birthday party that night were not ordinary people. The image of a loving couple
between her and Lucas had to be maintained.
Looking at Marion suddenly approaching him, Lucas’s dark eyes deepened. He instinctively tightened
his hand on her waist. He wanted to pull her into his embrace but was afraid of startling her, so he
restrained himself.
The fresh scent of orange blossoms enveloped him. Yet, Marion did not seem to notice as she tiptoed
even closer to him.
As she spoke, her soft breath hit his cheek. Lucas lowered his head, his thin lips brushing against her
forehead. With lowered eyes, he looked at her, his expression calm.
“Remember that.”
It was a very gentle touch, like a feather grazing her heart. Marion felt her heart hammer for a moment,
and when she reacted, that sensation had already disappeared.
Had Lucas kissed her?
Did he kiss her in front of so many people?

2/2
Even though it was just a gentle kiss on the forehead, there were so many people watching!
Marion’s mind felt like it was in a daze, the kiss occupying all her thoughts.
She looked into Lucas’s dark eyes, stammering in response, “I’ll Re–re–member.‘
Alice welcoming her guests already attracted attention, and with Lucas by Marion’s side, they seemed
to have created a spotlight on themselves. They became the focal point for guests as they entered the
hotel.
Many eyes were subtly fixated on them. The situation of the two speaking privately, seemingly oblivious
to others, was witnessed by quite a few.
In the crowd, people were already quietly discussing the two, and curious glances were becoming
more prevalent.
Marion’s face grew even redder. Ironically, just now, in her attempt to ‘assure‘ Lucas, she had taken a
step forward, and now the two were almost leaning against each other.

She started to feel the air around her change. “It’s a bit warm.”
Lucas looked at her. “Is it?”
She looked away nervously, then suddenly noticed someone familiar. “Mr. Craig, it seems your friend
is also here!”
Following her gaze, Lucas met Martin’s eyes. He responded with a faint nod,
“Yes.”
He would just leave it at that.
Marion thought he would go over and greet Martin, hoping to end the awkward atmosphere.
However, after his acknowledgment, Lucas showed no intention of going over.
Marion was puzzled. “Aren’t you going to say hello?”
“No need. Aren’t you hungry?”
Right after he spoke, Marion’s stomach let out a couple of low growls.
Though the sound was subtle, Lucas heard it loud and clear.
His dark eyes flickered with a hint of amusement. “There’s food over there. Let’s go have some.”
“Okay.”
How embarrassing!
