Chapter 244 Don’t Disturb, Thinking About a Man
With Lucas away on a business trip, Marion finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She had been avoiding people these past few days, feeling slightly uncomfortable. Now that Lucas was
away, she did not have to hide anymore!
However, Marion’s happiness did not last long. On the fourth day of Lucas’s business trip, she found it
strangely uncomfortable being alone in the huge villa at night. The games she usually played before
bed lost their appeal, and she found herself just staring at her phone.
It was not until she received a message from Cassie that Marion snapped out of it.
Cassie: [Mar, do you have a date for the weekend?]
Marion blinked.
It was already Friday!
Time flew, why had Lucas not returned yet?
While pondering this, she absentmindedly sent this to Cassie.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCassie: [Don’t tell me you’re thinking about Lucas?!]
Cassie: [Well, I can’t blame you! I just didn’t expect you to think about him so much that you’d even tell
me! Isn’t that a bit too much, Mar?]
Marion, looking at her own message, felt embarrassed. [Maybe can I offer some excuses?]
Cassie: [Offer your excuses tomorrow in person. I’ve given you the chance; don’t waste it! Tomorrow at
noon, barbecue on the fifth floor of Cade Square!]
Marion: [Okay!]
Cassie: [Alright. I won’t disturb your thoughts about men. I’m off to play with. men in the game.]
When did Cassie become so wild? Marion refrained from commenting; she feared Cassie would retort
with, “If you can think about real men, why can’t I play with virtual ones?”
After chatting with Cassie, Marion felt too embarrassed to continue daydreaming about people. She
quickly packed up and went to take a shower.
Whether it was due to her daytime thoughts, on the fourth night of Lucas’s business trip, Marion dreamt
about him.
In the dream, she shamelessly stared at him while Lucas, with a smirk, asked if she missed him. She
denied it, but the next moment, something she could not fathom happened–they kissed.
Marion opened her eyes, subconsciously licking her lips. The dryness reminded her it was just a
dream. Sitting up, her face flushed as she thought about her dream.
Was she turning into Cassie even in her dreams? In the past, her dreams were at most about hugging
and kissing. Why did this one involve losing clothes?
To stop her train of thought, Marion pinched herself.
‘Stop thinking! That’s not something you should be thinking about!‘
At that moment, her phone alarm went off.
Marion reluctantly cleared her mind, turned off the alarm, and got out of bed to splash cold water on her
face in the bathroom.
The icy water woke her up. Looking at herself in the mirror, she could not help but notice her flushed

This was bad. Why was her face so red?
Marion washed her face again, calming down slightly before going downstairs for breakfast.
Mrs. Bailey had already prepared breakfast. Thinking about her lunch
appointment with Cassie, Marion told Mrs. Bailey, “You can go home later. I won’t be having lunch and
dinner at home.”
Enjoying the sudden break, Mrs. Bailey was delighted. “Really? Shall I make some soup for you to
have when you come back tonight?”
Marion smiled and waved. “No need. Eating at night might make me gain weight!
“Ah, I’ll clean up the kitchen and leave then.”
“Sure!”
Marion nodded and picked up her phone to send a message to Cassie. However she mistakenly sent it
to Lucas.
She quickly retracted it.
It was so early. Lucas probably had not seen it, right?
The next second, Marion received a message from Lucas: [?]
