Chapter 155 A Misunderstanding
“I didn’t see anything. I’ll go down first. The police are still waiting at the door. You should come down quickly too.”
Feeling embarrassed under his gaze, Marion quickly left and rushed downstairs. Her heart was still pounding when she reached the ground floor.
So embarrassing!
She stopped at the entrance and covered her chest with one hand as she lightly touched her flushed cheeks with the other. After calming herself down for about half a minute, she stepped out.
“Sorry, Officer Tucker. My husband will be down shortly.”
Officer Tucker nodded.
When Marion came out for the second time, he already knew it was a misunderstanding.
However, they could not just leave at this point without confirming what Marion had said.
Lucas quickly came down.
He was wearing a black bathrobe and seemed to have just taken a shower. Marion glanced at Lucas. He came down so quickly. You could tell he had just finished bathing.
Marion introduced them briefly, “Officer Tucker, this is Lucas, my husband.”
When she looked at Lucas, Marion’s face turned slightly warm. In front of others, the loving ‘fake’ couple had to play their roles.
Marion took a deep breath and whispered, “Honey, this is Officer Tucker.”
Lucas glanced at her and casually draped his arm over her shoulder. His fingers gently clasped her. Marion blushed at Lucas’s sudden embrace.
Officer Tucker, familiar with Lucas’s public image, had seen plenty of photos of him in interviews and financial magazines. Even though this was the first time he had seen hint in person, he immediately recognized Lucas.
Officer Tucker was reassured of Marion’s safety. “It was a misunderstanding Mr. Craig. We were just ensuring Mrs. Craig’s safety.”
Lucas nodded, unfazed, “It’s necessary. Thanks for making the trip.’
“No trouble at all. We won’t disturb you any longer. Take care.’
“Thank you.”

Officer Tucker nodded and turned to get into the car. The police car slowly drove away, and Marion breathed a small sigh of relief.

However, that relief did not last long. It was soon replaced by anxiety. She cautiously glanced at Lucas, and immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, Mr. Craig.”
Lucas looked at her, withdrew his hand, and responded calmly, “You’re aware. That’s good.”
With that, he turned and walked into the villa. Marion felt chastened but followed him inside.
Who would have thought that Cassie would act so quickly?
As she thought about Cassie, Marion quickly sent her a message to explain the situation. With the commotion, it was already late, and there were five minutes left until midnight.
Marion had not taken a shower yet. She left her phone and picked up a set of pajamas, intending to bathe and go to bed.
However, she suddenly heard a knock at her door.
In the current situation, it had to be Mr. Craig.
Marion put down the pajamas and opened the door.
She saw the man standing in front of her and felt a slight pause in her breath. ‘Oh my, isn’t Lucas’s bathrobe too revealing?’ she asked herself.
Steadying herself, Marion raised her gaze, “What’s the matter, Mr. Craig?”
“Want some late-night snacks?”
“Oh, I’m not hungry. You—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Marion’s stomach suddenly growled. Lucas heard it. His gaze shifted to her stomach.
“Join me for a little snack.”
“Okay, sure.”
