Chapter 186 Could She Even Explain What Happened?
Lucas suddenly chuckled at her question. His laughter was deep and rich, and as Marion listened,
waves of warmth rolled over her face.
She lowered her head, wishing she could dig a hole right there and bury herself.
Lucas laughed for a while before containing his amusement. “No need to compensate me.”
“But-”
She had scratched the sofa!
A sofa worth over four hundred thousand dollars!
“Feeling guilty?”
Marion nodded repeatedly. The sofa, valued at such a price, probably cured her habit of nervously
picking at her fingers whenever she felt anxious! Not everyone was as generous and kind as Lucas!
Ah, Lucas was truly a good person!
Lucas looked at her thoughtfully, “Can you do massages?”
Perplexed, Marion answered sincerely, “A bit.”
Richard often had a stiff neck, so she learned some massage techniques to help him when needed.

“Not at all!”
Of course, she did not mind! Otherwise, she would not be able to sleep tonight!
Lucas raised his hand in a gesture of invitation. “Thank you.”
As he spoke, his black eyes closed, his features losing some of their cold sharpness but gaining a
touch of refinement.
So handsome!
Even with his eyes closed, he was handsome!
Realizing her thoughts, Marion pinched her cheek and promptly stood up, moving to the sofa behind
him. She rubbed her hands together and said, “Let’s begin!”
“Hmm.”
He acknowledged, and soon, he felt her gentle fingertips on his temples and then his forehead.
Marion, worried about applying too much pressure, and asked as she experimented, “Is this too much
pressure?”
“No, you can apply more pressure.”
Marion added a bit more force, “Like this?”
“Very good.”
“Okay.”
Afterward, the two fell silent. Marion massaged Lucas for about twenty minutes before her hands
began to feel strained. Lucas seemed to be asleep. She softly called out, “Mr. Craig?”
No response. That meant he was asleep. Richard always found it comfortable enough to fall asleep
each time.
Feeling a sense of accomplishment, Marion massaged her sore knuckles and fingertips. She circled
back, intending to grab her phone and return to her room.
Fearful of waking Lucas, she intentionally slowed down her movements, but the more careful she was,
the more likely mishaps happened.
As she picked up her phone and turned to leave, her left foot did not catch up with her right, so she
ended up tripping on herself. Losing her balance, she headed straight towards Lucas.
When her face collided with Lucas’s chest, the thought that flashed through Marion’s mind was
surprising, “The second time.”

A strong whiff of masculine scent surrounded her, and her entire being seemed to have landed on
Lucas, with only one hand on the side, barely avoiding contact with him.”
“Don’t you want to get up?” Lucas’s deep voice resonated from above her head, leaving Marion utterly
embarrassed.
She fumbled to extricate herself from Lucas, but the more flustered she became, the more prone she
was to mistakes.
Attempting to lift herself using Lucas’s body, she caught sight of those black eyes. Feeling guilty, she
lost focus, and her hand slipped, inadvertently landing on Lucas’s lower abdomen.

The next second, Marion distinctly heard a muffled groan “Mrs. Craig, there are certain places on a
man’s body that shouldn’t be touched.”
In the next moment, he firmly grasped her wrist and pulled her hand away.
Marion lifted her head and gazed into his eyes. She was on the verge of tears. “I wasn’t trying to
seduce you!”
Could she even explain what had happened?
“Is that so? Then I’d like to see what genuine seduction looks like from you.”
Marion did not know what to say.
