He specifically cooked for you today!” Marion breathed a sigh of relief, “Then I'll make sure to eat a lot later!” “Yeah, you better!” Danica responded and went to help. Gale, who was next to Lucas, tactfully called out, “Con, Marion. Let’s cat.” Then he went to help with serving the soup.
Marion glanced at Lucas, “Let's go then.” Lucas touched her hand, “Why are you so nervous?” Marion gave him an awkward smile, “Not at all!” “Then why is your hand so cold?” “It’s the air conditioning!” It was definitely not because she was nervous!

Before she could react, a jewelry box appeared in her right hand.
“Take it. It was Lucas’s mom’s and should have been given to you when you got married! It ctowhen she passed so it’s yours now!” Marion found it hard to refuse, “Thank you, Aunt Mindy.” “Whenever you have the time, cover for dinner! Ignore Lucas if he’s busy!” Danica was practically sticking to Marion.
She and Gale were twins who grew up together. Despite Danica’s pretty appearance, her personality was very easygoing.
Marion spoke sweetly, looked beautiful, and smelled good. Danica wanted to hug her.
Who did not want to get close to a beautiful woman? Seeing Danica reaching out to hug Marion again, Lucas raised his hand to stop her. He pulled Marion to his side, saying, “Stop taking advantage of her, Danica.”
