Chapter 369 Don't Take Advantage of Her
“Ah! [ want to hear the story!” Danica exclaimed in excitement.
Marion did not dare to refuse her request though she did not know where to
start...
Fortunately, just at that moment, Mindy called out, “Kids! It's time for dinner!”
Danica shouted, “It's time to eat! My dad is a great cook! He specifically cooked
for you today!”
Marion breathed a sigh of relief, “Then I'll make sure to eat a lot later!”
“Yeah, you better!” Danica responded and went to help. Gale, who was next to
Lucas, tactfully called out, “Come on, Marion. Let's cat.” Then he went to help
with serving the soup.
Marion glanced at Lucas, “Let's go then.”
Lucas touched her hand, “Why are you so nervous?”
Marion gave him an awkward smile, “Not at all!”
“Then why is your hand so cold?”
“It's the air conditioning!”
It was definitely not because she was nervous!
Lucas looked at her with a knowing smile but did not expose her, “Come wash
your hands.”
Marion stood up and followed him to the sink. As they took their seats, she finally
got a glimpse of
Gerald.
In photos Marion had searched of Gerald, he had often appeared in formal attire
with a stern and imposing demeanor. She thought that Gerald did not resemble
Lucas much.
However, seeing him in real life, Marion realized that they looked very similar.
Gerald was wearing casual clothes, a pair of glasses perched on his nose, and
exuded a gentle and cultured aura. When he looked at her, he smiled warmly,
“You must be Marion.”
Marion did not feel as nervous when he addressed her, “Hello, Uncle Gerald.”
“You look much prettier than in your photos!”
It was the third time she had heard the comment from the Johansons'. Marion's
face flushed red, and she tightened her grip on her spoon.
Mindy gave him a stern look, “She’s all shy now, darling.”
Gerald laughed heartily, “Lucas has thick skin so it's okay!”
Lucas glanced at Gerald and calmly said, “Marion has been nervous all the way
here. Don’t scare her away!”

“Aw, I'm not a fierce beast!”
The Johansons were very casual, and with Danica, an expert at lively scenes,
the entire dinner was free of awkwardness.
Lucas and Gerald's relationship was different from his relationship with Arthur. If
not for Gerald's well-maintained appearance and youthful demeanor, those who
were unaware of their relationship might even think they were father and son.
When they left, Marion's left wrist was adorned with a jade bracelet Mindy had
given to her.
Before she could react, a jewelry box appeared in her right hand.
