Chapter 269
Chapter 269 Eager to See Him That concert made Marion almost as popular as Kirk.
Last night at the concert, high—definition photos of Marion taken by Kirk’s fans went viral, creating a buzz online world with people wondering who she was.
[Oh, I’m sorry, but | can’t help it. Who is this breathtaking lady: . celebrity?] tia non- [Oh my, who's this divine lady that Kirk invited? She’s just too gorgeous! Please, someone, reveal her Instagram!]
[I'm a loyal Kirk fan, but Marion is unbelievably beautiful! Why hasn’t anyone dug into her background? Her looks alone are worth paying for!]
However, in the early morning, the focus shifted to the photos of Lucas escorting Amber back to the hotel. Due to that, the name “Marion” resurfaced in
discussions.
After replying to messages, Marion went online and discovered a peculiar situation, only to find a split between compliments on her beauty and sympathy for her situation.
As the person at the center of it all, Marion found it somewhat ridiculous. After a night's sleep, she was suddenly the victim of infidelity.
Not wanting to read more online comments, she decided to practice the piano after breakfast. However, despite sitting in front of the piano, she could not focus. Her mind was filled with comments she accidentally read online.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
[Oh, can’t such a beautiful lady have a wonderful love life?]
[What's going on with Lucas Craig? Instead of welcoming Marion home after a hard day’s work, he goes off with another woman late at night?”
[There is no love in a marriage with the wealthy. Marion, divorce him and enjoy a life of independence! Focus on your career, not on men!]
She did not want to overthink things, but those thoughts kept invading her mind. What could she do? She felt hopeless!
Sighing, Marion picked up her phone, intending to ask Lucas when he would be back for lunch. It was not a check-up; she simply wanted to know.
Suddenly, she felt lost, anxious, and eager to see him! She admitted that she felt as helpless as ever.
However, as soon as she picked up her phone, the screen lit up with a message from Lucas. [Sorry, | can’t make it home for lunch.]
Marion blinked, suddenly feeling upset.
As a tear trickled down her face, she quickly tilted her head, dete....ed not to cry.
After taking a moment to compose herself, she took a deep breath before replying to the message. [Okay.] She told herself, ‘Stay calm. You're just a fake couple.’
Perhaps the numb brainwashing had a slight effect, and Marion gradually calmed down.
Then, she headed downstairs to inform Mrs. Bailey about Lucas not coming home for lunch.
When Mrs. Bailey heard the news, she was taken aback, “Oh, I’ve prepared all the ingredients. They're just waiting to be cooked...”
Marion pursed her lips. “It’s okay. You can put away half of the ingredients. We can either use them for dinner tonight, or you can take them home.”
Mrs. Bailey thought for a moment. “Madam, can you have so much food for dinner?”
She was going to cook a few side dishes that Lucas and Marion liked.
It was evident she had put a lot of effort into preparing that lunch.
Marion stared at the ingredients for a while before saying, “I can. It’s okay.”
“Alright. In that case, I'll prepare five side dishes and a main for dinner, and we can cook some of the rest later.”
“That's fine.”
After leaving the kitchen, Marion had no inclination to practice the piano. She sat on the sofa and opened the Honor of Kings, hoping to pass the time.
However, she stared at the screen and could not muster any interest in clicking. Forget it. She was not in the mood to play, and nothing could entertain her.
After lunch, she planned to stroll in the garden for a while and then take a nap to pass the time. Little did she know that trouble would find her in just that short amount of time.
