Chapter 296 Not Trying to Cheer You Up

The aroma from the lunchbox filled the air, and Marion’s stomach, already hungry, let out a loud

growl.

With only Marion and Lucas in the office, the sudden sound was quite noticeable in the quiet room. Lucas glanced at her and said, “Thank you for your hard work, Mrs. Craig.”

Marion forced a smile, “It’s no trouble.”

Oh, what was happening?

Lucas took out each lunch item and arranged them neatly on the table. Then he wiped the eating utensils with a tissue before handing them to her. “Go ahead and eat.”

Marion took the spoon and casually asked, “Aren’t you going to eat? Didn’t you say you hadn’t eaten much and you were hungry?”

“I am eating.”

Marion had brought two sets of utensils and bowls since she had not had lunch yet.

Lucas wiped another set of utensils before he scooped a bowl of soup. Just as he was about to sip from his bowl, he noticed Marion looking at him.

Her round eyes could not hide her anticipation.

Lucas immediately understood. He took a sip of the soup. “Did you make today’s lunch?”
