Chapter 429 I’m Used To It

“Has Amber reached out to you?”

Marion was busy berating herself for being useless when she suddenly heard his question and froze in place.

How did he know when she had not sald anything?

Nerves shot through her, and her hands instinctively sought something to grip. However, she forgot already wrapped around Lucas’s neck, and in her anxiety, her right hand accidentally tugged at his damp hair.

her hand,

Although Lucas did not hear a response, he was pretty sure he had hit the nail on the head.

His dark eyes darkened as his large hand, which was resting on Marion’s waist, gave a slight tug, pulling her closer to him. “What did she say?”

Marion felt a warmth under her chin as he lifted it, their gazes locking. She instinctively glanced away, focusing on his collar.

“She didn’t reach out to me,” she said, taking a deep breath and meeting his gaze head–on. “It’s true.

It was just a text.

Lucas looked at her, silent. Neither of them spoke, and the room fell into an odd silence, but it did not last long.

After a few seconds, Lucas spoke up. “Since you don’t want to say it, I won’t ask.”

Was he implying that if he did have a sweetheart, he would not continue being with her? Or was it that if he truly had a sweetheart, he would not have agreed to marry her in the first place?

Would her concerns ever come to pass? Did he truly understand what she was worried about?

Her mind was a jumble of chaotic thoughts, but ultimately, she could not believe Lucas would be that kind of person.

Marion was awake until midnight, and when she woke up the next day, Lucas was not in bed beside

her.

The room’s curtains were tightly shut, casting the room in dim light. Marion frowned as she reached for her phone. Upon illuminating the screen, she realized it was already past eleven.

It was late!

She hurriedly sat up in bed, grabbing the remote to open the curtains. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Bright sunlight flooded the room, causing her eyes to sting and tears welling up in the corners. Several unread WhatsApp messages awaited her on her phone’s home screen – messages from Cassie last night, a performance schedule from Miley, and a message from Nina West.
