Chapter 212 Are You Inviting Me to Humiliate Myself

After Arthur left, the atmosphere in the villa remained awkward. Even Mrs. Bailey wisely stayed in the kitchen, not daring to come out and inquire about lunch arrangements. 

Glancing at Lucas, who had been sitting on the sofa for quite some time, Marion cautiously asked, ” Aren’t you busy today?” 

Lucas slowly opened his eyes at her question. “Not really. Are you busy?” 

In reality, he had paused a meeting and rushed back home

“I’m not busy,” Marion replied but felt awkward about sitting there with him. 

Seeing him rubbing his temples, Marion suddenly had an idea. “Do you have a headache?” 

Lucas looked at her. “Yes.” 

“How about a massage?” Marion suggested. Sitting idly was less productive than finding something to do. 

“Thank you.” 

Marion stood up and walked to the back of the sofa where Lucas was sitting, then lifted her hands to give him a massage. The atmosphere improved, and Marion felt a sense of relief. 

She had worried that Lucas might hold her accountable for upsetting Arthur so much. Lately, she found herself unable to control her mouth, and the recent incidents were a testament to that. 

Lost in her thoughts, Marion remained silent, and Lucas did not say anything either. The living room became quiet. 

Suddenly, a noise interrupted the tranquility, startling both Marion and Lucas. At the entrance, Alice peeked her head in and walked in. 

Upon seeing Marion and Lucas on the sofa, Alice’s facial expression changed slightly. The interruption of Lucas’s comfort drew his cold gaze toward Alice. “Miss Alice, what brings you here?” 

Curious, Marion added, “Are you here to convince me to divorce my husband as well?” 

At the mention of ‘husband‘, Lucas looked up and glanced at Marion. It was not the first time she 

referred to him as her husband for the sake of their act but this time, his gaze made her feel 

and her cheeks flushed with warmth.  Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Alice hurriedly shook her head, “No, Miss Marion, you misunderstand.” 

Lucas was dissatisfied with her addressing Marion so casually, “It’s Mrs. Craig, Miss Alice.” 

uneasy

Alice frowned but adjusted her words. “Mrs. Craig, I’m having a birthday party this week and I would 

like to invite you.” 

Looking at Alice, Marion blurted out, “Are you inviting me to humiliate myself?”

2/2 

Was that not how it usually went in novels? 

Lucas seemed to share the same sentiment, “You have many friends, there’s no need to specifically invite my wife. Besides, my wife has been quite busy lately.” 

A not–so–busy Marion chimed in, “Yes, I have been quite busy recently.” 

Alice realized they misunderstood her and hurriedly tried to explain, “It’s not what you think. Since you saved me the last time, I’ve been truly grateful. For my birthday, I’d love nothing more than to have you cut the cake with me!” 

Alice looked at Lucas, “Rest assured, Mr. Craig. If I cause any distress to my lifesaver here, I will” 

She mentioned the night she was rescued, but Marion felt Alice had ulterior motives. “Will what?” 

Marion was curious to hear the rest of what Alice had to say. 

Alice bit her lip, “I will… run a lap around the city center naked!” 

Marion had no immediate response to that. 

There was no need to be so extreme. 

If you don’t believe it, we can record it now as evidence.” 

Marion was about to speak when Lucas placed his phone forward, “Go ahead.” 

Was that the trend in high society circles now?
