Chapter 292 That Should Work!
Daniel may have left Lucas’s itinerary with her, but Marion had no intention of looking at it.
Her mind was occupied with what Daniel had told her. “Mr. Craig had chickenpox last week, and he had
a fever for three days. We didn’t tell you because we were afraid you’d worry.”
So, last week, when she thought Lucas was purposefully keeping his distance, he was actually having
a fever and dealing with chickenpox? The realization hit Marion, and her eyes welled up with tears. She
felt that her anger for the past few days was completely unreasonable.
Marion shared her revelation with Cassie: [Cassie, was I being unfair to Lucas?]
Cassie responded bluntly: [Are you really asking me that?]
Marion: [What should I do then? Should I apologize?]
Cassie, in her usual style, said: [Here’s a straightforward suggestion, why not confess that you have
feelings for him and make him happy? That’s all the help I can offer!]

on Cassie and turned to the almighty internet for advice. Unfortunately, most suggestions she found did
not apply to her situation with Lucas.
Realizing the consequences of her actions, Marion admitted that she would have to face the music
herself. Just then Mrs. Bailey called her to dinner.
Having lost her appetite, Marion took a few bites but could not eat anymore. She finished a bowl of
soup, though. When Bailey noticed the leftover food in her bowl, she asked, “Not feeling well today?”
Marion sighed, “Yes.”
She looked at Mrs. Bailey and hesitated before asking, “What should I do if I’ve done something
wrong? How can I show that I’m sincere about my apology? Just saying sorry feels insufficient,
doesn’t it?”
Mrs. Bailey wiped the table and responded, “Did you upset Mr. Craig?”
Marion grimaced, “He’s not upset.”
If he were upset, she would not have felt so guilty. “That’s why I don’t know what to do.”
Mrs. Bailey offered her insight, “If you’ve not upset him, then a simple verbal apology should be
enough.” Then she chuckled. “I’m sure it’s nothing. Why don’t you make a gift for him? That should
make up
for it.”
‘Great suggestion, Mrs. Bailey!‘ Marion thought to herself.
“What should I make?”
“Whatever you can!”

Marion looked at Mrs. Bailey in embarrassment, “I can probably cook something…What do you think?

“That should work! You can cook something and send it over to his office. He’ll be delighted, I’m sure!
“Moreover, his staff would be able to see what a fine wife you are! It’s a great way to stop people from
trying their luck with him!”
Marion liked Mrs. Bailey’s straightforward reasoning. “You’re right, Mrs. Bailey,” she said.
However, she was not skilled at making chicken soup. “Can you teach me how to make chicken soup?”
“It would be my pleasure!” Mrs. Bailey beamed at her.
Marion was touched. “I’ll definitely ask Mr. Craig to increase your salary next month!”
Madam.”
Mrs. Bailey was embarrassed but very pleased at Marion’s gesture. “Thank you,
Determined, Marion planned to learn how to make soup with Mrs. Bailey tomorrow morning.
She would also prepare some dishes and deliver them to Lucas at his office at noon.
She would not admit that Mrs. Bailey’s second point had a significant influence on her decision!
‘I just want to show him how sorry I am and nothing more!‘
