Chapter 141 I Just Feel Like You Wouldn’t
“Want some candy?”
Marion was about to ask Lucas about his choice of words.
She felt that she might have been overthinking the situation, and Lucas’s intention might not be what
she had assumed.
However, just as she was preparing to speak, she heard Lucas suddenly ask an entirely unrelated
question
Marion lowered her head and saw that Lucas had already peeled the candy, and was waiting for her to
agree. She nodded and reached out to take the candy, saying, “Thank you, Mr. Craig’
As her hand reached for the candy, it brushed against Lucas’s hand.
Lucas placed the candy near her lips. “This is yours. Go ahead and eat it.’

Marion wanted to refuse, but her mouth acted faster than her brain, and she had already bitten into the

Lucas’s index finger lightly brushed the corner of her lips and caused Marion to feel a tingling sensation
in her chest. She almost swallowed the candy in her mouth.
Lucas seemed not to notice the slight friction from earlier and withdrew his hand.
Closing the candy box, Lucas said, “You are Mrs. Craig, and our relationship is publicly
acknowledged. You don’t need to worry about any negative impact on me.”
Marion, still nibbling on the candy, heard his words and was bewildered. Her round eyes reflected her
confusion.
Lucas moved his fingers slightly, resisting the urge to pinch her, and continued, “About what you
mentioned earlier, regarding my public image.”
Marion realized that she had misunderstood him.
They became a hot topic on the day they registered their marriage. How long had they been married? It
was normal for a husband to pamper his wife during the earlier days of marriage.
Despite not being a real couple in private, the thought of Lucas feeding her candy made Marion’s heart
flutter. She lifted her head and gazed at Lucas’s handsome face. She suddenly felt that, in the face of
such beauty, she might not be able to control herself.
She was not a saint. Lucas had great dedication to contracts, but she could not boast the same.
Marion was not confident in herself. The verbal constraints of a spoken agreement seemed to lack
strength. It appeared to be the right time to formally discuss the terms of their ‘collaboration’.
Taking another bite of the candy, the sweet and sour mango flavor spread throughout her mouth.

Marion adjusted her expression and said, “Mr. Craig, shouldn’t we sign a formal agreement for our
collaboration?”

Quickly adding a clarification to prevent any misunderstanding, Marion said, “Don’t get me wrong. I’m
not worried about any intentions you might have toward
1. me. My concern is mainly about me…
Then Marion realized that she could not finish the thought.
“Concerned about what?” Lucas looked at her, and a faint smirk played on his lips. There was a hint of
amusement in his expression.
Marion felt a sudden jolt in her body. Her face turned red and hot. She hesitated but then decided there
was no need to be reserved any longer. “I’m just worried about what I think of you.”
She tried to maintain a calm and composed demeanor, as she locked eyes with his dark gaze.
Lucas, who had been getting closer earlier to her, fell silent. Marion was not sure what he was thinking.
His expression was hard to read.
After a while, he spoke, “Why are you so sure I wouldn’t have any thoughts about you?” His deep voice
resonated in her ears.
Marion’s face, which had just cooled down, heated up again. She did not hesitate, as she responded, I
don’t know, I just feel like you wouldn’t.”
In that aspect, Marion had a certain level of self-awareness.
