Marion’s sudden exclamation of ‘honey‘ directly caught the attention of most people at the evening
party.
Marion immediately regretted calling out to Lucas. She wished she could. disappear as she watched
Lucas approaching from the crowd.
Lucas walked up to Marion and held her hand, asking, “Waited long?” His gaze fell on the cup in her
other hand, “Drinking?”
Regretful Marion tried to justify her action in a hushed voice, “It’s not alcohol, it’s juice.”
Delicious juice.
With a subtle movement in his dark eyes, Lucas chose not to reveal the truth to her, “Hmm.”
“Shall we go home?”
“Yeah, let’s go.”
If they stayed any longer, she would turn into an exhibit in the zoo. The two women who had insulted
her seemed to have vanished before Lucas arrived.
Marion did not care. She could not face the fact that she had loudly called Lucas Honey‘ in front of so

“Is there something interesting on the floor?” Lucas asked casually as they descended the stairs.
Marion, who was lowering her head, raised it slightly and glanced at him, “No.”
“Really? I thought there was something there; otherwise, why would you be staring at it so intently?”
Lucas remarked in a strange tone.
She was dealing with a sarcastic man. Marion pursed her lips, kept her gaze forward, and dared not
lower her head again.
As they reached the doorway, Marion suddenly remembered something, “Oh, I forgot to tell Miss Alice
that we’re leaving!”
“I already told her.”
He had not said anything. Marion left it at that. There were enough people to inform Alice.
“What’s there to say?”
“Oh.”
Marion replied weakly, not daring to mention it again.
However, things did not go as planned. As soon as they sat in the car, Lucas asked, “Why are we
leaving so suddenly?”
She glanced at him guiltily, “Suddenly? Didn’t we plan it? Didn’t we agree to leave in half an hour when
we came?”
“What did Miss Alice show you?”
“The gifts she received today.”
“Hmm?”
“She said she wanted to give me all her birthday gifts this year and mentioned liking me…”
‘Wait, did I just say that out loud?‘ Marion asked herself.
Lucas clicked his tongue and said casually, “Oh, she likes you.”
Marion kept silent.
Could she pretend to faint?
The man looked at her silently, his gaze passing over her slightly flushed cheeks and finally resting on
her, “Fasten your seatbelt.”
“Oh, okay.”
Marion awkwardly fastened her seatbelt and then looked at him pitifully, “Let’s go home. I’m tired.”

She could still pretend to faint, right?
He shifted his gaze, took the steering wheel, and began driving home.
Marion turned to the side, intending to pretend to sleep. The car fell silent, and Lucas, in the driver’s
seat, seemed focused on driving, showing no intention of chatting with her.
After keeping her eyes closed for a while, Marion could not resist and slowly opened her eyes.
Her gaze moved up little by little, passing over Lucas’s slender fingers, then shifting to his thin lips,
climbing up to his nose bridge, and stopping at his eyebrows.
“I feel a bit hot.”
She spoke and reached up to touch her cheek.
It was indeed hot.
Lucas glanced at her and lowered the air conditioning by one degree. Marion
thanked him and tactfully did not disturb him anymore, but could not help steal a peek at him.
There was no way around it. Lucas looked so handsome when he was serious.
