Chapter 272 Is It My Turn Now 

Marion was momentarily stunned, thinking it was Mrs. Bailey. Without much thought, she went to open the door. “What’s up, Mrs. Bailey?” 

As soon as the words left her mouth, she looked up and saw the familiar face of a man. 

In an instant, her eyes reddened. “M–Mr. Craig?” 

Realizing she was losing control, she quickly averted her gaze, blinking rapidly in an attempt to hold back her tears. “Why are you back?” 

However, she could not stop the tears from rolling down her cheeks in the end. 

“Would you believe me if I said my eyes sting?” 

Feeling relieved that she could still joke around, Lucas asked, “Are you upset?” 

He did not say much, but Marion felt even more upset, “I… Kirk and I are just friends. How can they say such things about me?” 

After holding back for so long, she finally let it out. 

The nature of their relationship became clearer to her at that moment. Even so, she could not admit that her unhappiness stemmed from him not attending her performance or coming to pick her up last night. Those were privileges reserved for a true “Mrs. Craig“, not a usurper like her. 

Marion took a deep breath. “I’m so angry!” 

She bit her lip, feigning anger. 

Lucas watched her, his thoughts hidden in the depths of his profound black eyes. 

As if they were engaged in a silent game, the silence lingered for about five seconds before he spoke.” Amber Collins is the daughter of my mother’s good friend.” 

“Oh, I see. Childhood friends.” 

She realized, this time, she was truly going to “step down willingly“.  S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“I’ve only met her four times.” 

Seeing Marion on the verge of tears, Lucas couldn’t bear to tease her further. He reached out and wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, calmly looking at her. “I’ve had Daniel investigate the events of last night, and Amber’s studio will also release a statement.” 

Marion looked at him, her heart in disarray. She was afraid he would discern her feelings yet also fearing he would not. 

“Do I need to do anything?” 

“No. Just leave it all to me.” 

Marion looked puzzled “Pursorry” 

After all, she bore half the responsibility for that matter 

She pursed her lips and glanced at Laicas. “Did you not come back last night?” 

Immediately regretting her question, she clarified, “I didn’t mean anything else I’m just curious!” 

She definitely was not trying to check up on him! 

Lucas looked at her, a half–smile playing on his lips, “I came back.” 

Hearing his response, Marion felt like a huge weight had been lifted off her chest, She felt much more 

relaxed. 

When she noticed his gaze on her, she blushed and bit her lip, saying indignantly, “The media channels are too much for spreading baseless rumors!” 

“Yeah.” Lucas agreed while casually undoing a button. “Do you feel better now?” 

“Yes, much better.” 

She could not help but touch her face, Was her sadness that obvious? 

“Is there anything else you want to ask?” 

Marion raised her head, and when she met those dark eyes of lils, her heart skipped a beat. Blushing. she looked away guiltily and shook her head. “No, no more questions,” 

One should know when to stop. It would be impolite to press further about why he was not there at the concert last night. 

Even though Lucas explained who Amber was, Marlon could tell that Amber carried some significance in his life. He probably went to pick her up last night. 

There was no need for her to compare herself to someone Lacas would personally pick up. 

“Really?” Lucas gazed at her, a hint of anticipation in lits dark eyes. 

Marion shook her head. “Nothing.” 

“Okay,” he replied and then suddenly stepped into the room. “Is it my turn to ask you questions now?
