Chapter 380 Are You So Easily Pleased, Mrs. Craig?

With each step Lucas took up the stairs, Marion felt herself trembling, and with each second, her heart pounded faster.

Marion’s breath, which had just calmed down, gradually became rapid. She lifted her head slightly. As she stared at Lucas’s perfect jawline, she could not help but gulp nervously and think, ‘Is something going to happen later?‘

Marion lifted her head and blinked at him.

Lucas looked at her, too. “Do you want to shower together?”

Her face flushed, and she shook her head hastily. “I–I’ll go and take a shower!”
