Chapter 214 Why Did You Stop?

Lucas ultimately did not throw away the invitation, and he did not object to Marion attending Alice’s birthday party as long as he accompanied her that evening.

Marion had no objections to that, especially considering Alice’s unsettling attitude towards her.

As for Alice, she was so concerned about Marion not showing up that she arranged for a courier to remind Marion early in the morning not to forget her birthday party that night.

Marion opened the door in the morning and, after hearing the courier’s words, muttered, “Absurd.”

Lucas was silent for a moment before saying, “I’ll come back early this afternoon.”
