Chapter 127 But You Are Mine

“I have a backup plan.”

“Oh really? What kind of backup plan?”

Lucas spoke and returned to the car. Sitting inside with the door open, he gestured to Marion.

“Come here.”

Marion had no choice but to walk over. She wore a short dress that day, which made her stride

awkward as she had to lift the hem while she walked.

As soon as she got into the car, Marion caught a whiff of the familiar woody fragrance Lucas wore. Instinctively, she looked up and found Lucas staring at her.

His dark eyes were fixed on her. “Tell me about your backup plan.”

With the air conditioning on inside the car, Marion felt the heat dissipate.

She pointed to Miley not far away.

“I arranged for someone to inform Zoe, the chief planner of this event. The call Miley just answered is probably Zoe apologizing.”

At first, Marion felt hesitant about revealing her little scheme, but once she started talking, a hint of pride crept into her voice.

“Just wait. Soon, Zoe will personally come out with her team to pick me up.’

She spoke, with a smug smile on her face.

Lucas gazed at her. “What else?”

This question truly stumped Marion. She blinked at Lucas, somewhat perplexed. “Is this not enough?”

The chief planner herself would come to apologize. What more did he want?

“Is it enough?”

Lucas did not directly answer her question but threw it back at her.

Marion felt uncertain under his gaze. “Is it not enough?” she stammered.

Surely she would not have to cancel her performance?

“No, it’s not enough.”

Lucas spoke, his gaze shifting to the window beside Marion. “Isn’t Althea trying to drive you away?”

He looked away, paused for a moment, and continued, “Then let’s repay her in kind.”

Marion was taken aback. “This… doesn’t seem right, does it?”

But the thought of it was exhilarating. What was going on?

“What’s wrong with that? You’re my wife.”

That was the second time Lucas had said that to her, and Marion felt that sooner or later, she would find herself ensnared by those words.

She pursed her lips and muttered under her breath. “I’m not really Mrs. Craig.”

Just a ‘fake’ Mrs. Craig. She was still clear-headed about her circumstances.

“But you are mine.”

Marion had not expected him to hear her words, let alone respond to them. Her heart beat faster.

Lucas snorted. “My people are not to be bullied by anyone.”

Marion’s face turned red all of a sudden.

It was not as complicated as she had imagined. Who would not feel a bit confused after hearing Mr. Craig say such things?

“Your assistant is looking for you.”

Lucas’s dark eyes swept over her blushing ears. He cleared his throat slightly, lifted his gaze, and gestured for her to look outside the car window.

Marion snapped back to reality and hastily turned to look at Miley outside the window.

“I’ll be going now, Mr. Craig.”

“Hmm.”

The man responded lightly, and as Marion got out of the car, he followed suit.

Miley ran over to them with a delighted expression. “Zoe just called me. She says to tell you not to leave. She’s coming out with her team to apologize. She says it’s their fault.”

Marion was not surprised by the outcome. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Miley turn to Lucas beside her.

“Thank you, Mr. Craig. If it weren’t for your help, Marion would have suffered this time! She was invited as a special guest and was supposed to be the highlight of the performance. Being driven out like this is so frustrating!”

Marion was in shock. She did not know what to say.

Was it possible that the outcome she had hoped for had something to do with Lucas?
