Chapter 274 It Won’t Happen Again 

The familiar scent of cedar lingered on the tip of her nose, and her every breath was filled wines.

Gazing at the man’s face that was inches away from hers, her breath got heavier with each passing 

second. 

As she locked eyes with his dark gaze, she could not discern whether he was probing her or just casually asking 

She instinctively tightened her hands by her side, trying hard not to g herself away, “Sure, I guess.” 

For a man like Lucas, a straightforward refusal might seem too deliberate. 

“You guess?” 

“Um… Well, you’re the kind of man that’s hard to resist.” 

Lucas clicked his tongue. “So you don’t feel anything for me?” 

Oh no, that was a trap! 

Just as Marion was about to spill everything, the doorbell rang. 

Marion thanked the heavens and quickly got up. “There’s someone at the door. Let me check who it is! 

Before she could finish her sentence, she was already out the door. 

Lucas looked toward the doorway, raised an eyebrow, and shorted. “What a coward.” 

Marion, the coward, hurried down the stairs, through the garden, and opened the door to find Alice holding a large bouquet of roses. 

She was confused. What was Alice playing at now? 

Alice immediately shoved the bouquet into Marion’s hands. “Don’t be sad. I’ll take you out to have fun! Don’t waste a second being sad over that scumbag!” 

As Alice spoke, she noticed the “scumbag” Lucas strolling into the garden. “Why is he here?” 

“Miss Gardner, that’s a strange question. This is my house. If I’m not here, where should I be?” 

Alice was not backing down either. “At a hotel, perhaps? I heard you’re a big fan of hotels.” 

With a cold huff, she added, “Don’t worry. If you want a divorce, I’ll be your strong backup!” 

Marion could not help but feel a bit puzzled. 

Alice was indeed a strong backup but perhaps not the brightest. 

By then, Lucas had walked over and reached out to Marion, pulling her close. “Our marriage is doing

well. Miss Gardner, you need not worry.” 

After that, he tossed the bouquet of roses in Marion’s hands directly into Alice’s arms Gardner, if you have the time to ruin my marriage, why not use it to find a suitable partner fo yourself? It might save you from marrying a ‘scumbag in the future.” 

It was a subtle jab back at Alice! 

Alice was about to retort when the gate in front of her suddenly clanged shut. 

“Lucas, if you have the guts, open the door and explain everything in front of me!” 

Hearing the door slam shut, Marion’s heart skipped a beat. “Isn’t this rude?!! 

“She came here to instigate a divorce between us. Isn’t that rude?” Lucas said with a calm tone, but for some reason, Marion felt his anger.  Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Are you angry?” 

“No.” 

Marion looked at her hand being held and somehow felt her mood lighten. 

Then, she glanced back apologetically at Alice, who was still ringing the doorbell Alice actually 

meant well.” 

All Alice wanted to do was spare her from heartache. 

Once inside the house, Lucas finally let go of Marion’s hand. “Do you want to go out for dinner tonight?” 

“Huh?” 

How did the topic change so quickly? 

Lucas wanted to keep Marion’s thoughts away from Alice. “We haven’t had dinner out in a long time.” 

Marion realized it now and pointed awkwardly at the kitchen. “But Mrs. Bailey is cooking.” 

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered that Lucas did not come back for lunch. “She wanted to make your favorite dishes for lunch, but you didn’t come back, so she planned to save it for dinner.” 

Despite her efforts to restrain herself, a hint of resentment lingered in her tone. 

Having realized that, Marion tried to say something else to lighten the mood. 

While Lucas was taking a sip of water, he glanced at her and chuckled. “It won’t happen again.” 

“Huh?” 

“I will come home next time.” 

Marion was momentarily stunned. When she realized what he meant, she blushed. 

For some reason, she found Lucas a little gentle just now.
