Lucas looked at her. “Go take a shower first. The food will be brought over later.”
Marion nodded. When Lucas turned away, she quickly closed the bedroom door, glanced at her slightly
protruding belly, and then grabbed her pajamas to head for the shower.
Despite claiming not to be hungry, Marion not only had a bowl of porridge but also indulged in two
shrimp dumplings. Staring at the last dumpling in the basket, she restrained herself from picking it

Lucas glanced at her. “Are you full?”
A blush crept onto Marion’s face. Lucas’s casual ‘Are you full?’ sounded gentle, yet she felt awkward

“Good night.”
Marion stood up to leave the table. Just a few steps away, Lucas spoke in a leisurely tone, “Are you not
going to eat the last shrimp dumpling?”
Startled, Marion almost stumbled. She turned back and looked at Lucas with conviction. “I’m full!”
“Are you?”
He glanced at her, his lips gently moving. It made Marion feel like she might have overreacted.
She pursed her lips. “I’ll go back to my room.’
“Go ahead.”
As Marion left in haste, Lucas watched her retreating figure. His eyes softened, and a light laughter

Cassie responded quickly: [I understand, I understand. Don’t worry about me. I’m going to sleep. Good
night!]
Could Cassie not let her explain properly?
Marion did not fall asleep until past 1 AM. Perhaps due to the late-night snack, her sleep was restless,
accompanied by a strange dream.
In the dream, she and Lucas were eating shrimp dumplings.
When there was only one left, she instinctively put down her fork and let Lucas have it.
Lucas picked up the dumpling and brought it to her lips, prompting her to open her mouth. She had no
choice but to eat the dumpling.
Then the dream took an unexpected turn.
After she chewed and swallowed the dumpling, Lucas suddenly asked, “Is it delicious?”
She did not quite understand why someone who also ate the dumpling would ask if it was good, but
