Chapter 84 As Long as You Like It
Around five o’clock, Marion suddenly received a message from Lucas on WhatsApp. He suggested
they have dinner outside, and mentioned that the driver was already on the way to pick her up.
Marion instinctively thought it might be a business dinner, so she quickly got up from the bed and
asked: [Are there any specific dress requirements? Should I put on makeup?]
Even though she was ‘Mrs. Craig‘ in her marriage of convenience, she could not afford to embarrass
Lucas.
Marion received a somewhat nonchalant reply from Lucas: [Whatever you like.]
Despite Lucas’s easygoing response, Marion still chose an elegant long dress. She applied light
makeup. While waiting for the driver to arrive, she spent an additional ten minutes braiding a fishtail.
Satisfied with her look, Marion picked up her handbag and headed downstairs.
Just as she arrived, the doorbell rang. On the video call screen, it was Lucas’s driver, Liam.
Marion walked out with a slight limp. She had forgotten to bring her wheelchair and she walked
unsteadily as her leg was still recovering.
As Marion stepped outside, the driver had already opened the car door and greeted her, “Mrs. Craig,
Mr. Craig is at the office. We need to make a stop there first.”
“Sure, thank you, Mr. Benz,” Marion replied, not having the courage to address him like Lucas did.

arrived at the entrance.
Marion checked her reflection in her phone’s camera, ensuring her makeup was intact. Just as she
finished, the car door next to her opened, and Lucas gracefully
entered.
A refreshing woody fragrance wafted in, and Marion instinctively turned to him with a smile. “Mr. Craig.”
After the incident with the grand piano Lucas had prepared, Marion found herself smiling whenever she
looked at him.
What a considerate man!

A grand piano worth over four million dollars, and he said it was just a casual arrangement!
Lucas’s gaze lingered on her face for a moment. “Did you put on makeup?”
Marion felt self–conscious at his question. “I just applied light makeup, nothing too extravagant, so it
won’t be disrespectful to you.”
“Very beautiful.” He praised her so easily. It left Marion puzzled.
She blushed then mumbled a “Thank you‘.
The car started moving, and Marion touched the strands of hair behind her braid. It felt a little itchy.
She withdrew her hand and stole a glance at the man beside her. Unbeknownst to her, Lucas was
already looking at her, and upon catching her turning her head, he did not look away.
The car’s air conditioning was cool enough, yet Marion felt warm. The evening sky was a riot of colors,
and the twilight cast a radiant glow through the car window onto their faces.
Marion looked at Lucas beside her and could not help but feel that God had
favored him.
His beautifully sharp facial features could easily outshine many current male stars. The car arrived
quickly at their destination, and she hastily averted her gaze. She nervously fidgeted with her fingers.
Lucas slowly opened his eyes, and Liam came around to open the door for him. ” Mr. Craig, Mrs. Craig,
we’ve arrived at the hotel.”
Lucas glanced at Marion, his gaze landing on her reddened ears. He casually remarked, “We’re here,
Mrs. Craig.”
“Oh, okay,” Marion replied, moving over. As soon as she lifted her leg, Lucas brought her wheelchair
into view with a swift movement.

“Is your leg hurting?” Lucas asked.
Marion dreaded the question, fearing that he might bend down to carry her. She quickly sat in the
wheelchair. Lucas pushed her into the hotel, and a waiter led them to the elevator.
They pressed the button for the top floor. Marion felt nervous as she looked up at Lucas. “Is today’s
guest very important?”

Lucas looked down at her and replied, “There’s no guest.”
“Then…
“We’re just going out for dinner.”
Marion realized that she had misunderstood his intentions and blushed. “Oh, I
see.”
She was glad she had dressed up for the occasion. After all, meeting an ex required a touch of glamor.
