Marion discreetly glanced at Lucas, only to find him looking back at her. The coldness in his eyes from earlier, though still present, seemed to have thawed a bit.

Despite his indifferent gaze, Lucas, like an inquisitive cat, could not resist pressing his fingertips against hers. He whispered lightly in her ear, “Don’t be afraid. You’re Mrs. Craig now.”
