Chapter 378
Chapter 378 That Woman Is Doing It On Purpose!
Cassie watched her walk away and casually flipped her the middle finger. “Babe,
that woman is definitely doing it on purpose!”
Marion knew it was intentional. After all, who would insist on using that nickname
when explicitly told not to, especially right in front of her? Amber was just plain
disgusting!
However, despite Amber's actions, Marion could not ignore what she said. “She
just mentioned that there'll be a competition in Lester City on the 17th of next
month...”
Cassie also heard it. “Don't let it get to you. That woman clearly said it on
purpose! If you believe her, you'll end up having conflicts with Mr. Craig, won't
you?”
Marion understood the logic, but she still felt uneasy.
Cassie glanced at her. “How about we go and watch a movie? A funny romantic
comedy from Hong Kong premiered the day before yesterday, and I heard it's
pretty good!”
“Sure!”
Since Lucas was away on a business trip, he probably would not be home today.
Cassie immediately bought tickets on her phone, and they took a taxi to the
cinema.
The movie was indeed hilarious, but amidst the laughter, there were moments of
bitter reality. They laughed in the first half but ended up crying in the latter half.
When they came out, Marion's makeup had smudged, and her eyes were slightly
red.
“It's getting late, Marion. Let's head home and get some sleep!”
Cassie knew Marion's bedtime routine, and it was already ten o'clock.
Marion sniffed. “Should I go back then?”
“Yeah, go ahead!”
They each hailed a cab and chatted on their phones all the way home.
Twenty minutes later, Marion arrived home first.
Feeling tired, she did not want to chat with Cassie anymore. [I'm home, and I'm
going to take a shower. Let me know when you get home!]
Cassie was also almost home, so she replied with an emoji.
Marion opened the front door and glanced at the shoe rack while changing her
shoes. She noticed Lucas’s favorite pair of leather shoes placed on top.
Although baffled, she did not dwell on it too much. Lucas had so many pairs of
shoes, and the styles of leather shoes were all quite similar. Besides, he did not
wear the same pair every day.
After changing her shoes, Marion shuffled over to the kitchen island and poured
herself a glass of water. Sitting on a high stool, she let her thoughts wander as
she sipped her water.
When Lucas went downstairs, he spotted Marion sitting on the high stool, lost in
thought.
She held a glass of water in her hands, her lips against the rim. She was too lost
in her own world to notice him approaching.
Lucas stood beside her. Instead of calling out to her, he just smiled and watched
her quietly.
Marion zoned out for a moment before remembering something and began
rummaging through her bag.
Soon, she pulled out a ring box from inside.
Opening the box, she revealed a pair of simple and elegant couple rings that she
and Cassie stumbled upon while wandering around a jewelry store before the
movie.

Marion did not think much of them at
the time, but Cassie encouraged her
to try them on, saying she did not
have any rings on her finger and did
not look like a married woman. The

The rings Lucas bought for her were worth millions of dollars and were too
precious for everyday wear. If she lost one, she would be devastated.
Back then, even though they had gotten their marriage license, it was more of a
formality. Marion did
not feel much for Lucas, so she did not even consider rings.

However, when Cassie casually
mentioned it, Marion suddenly
’
thought of Lucas’s empty hands and
remembered Amber, whom she had
met today. With that thought in mind,

she tried on a woman's ring and
thought it was nice, so she bought
both of the rings immediately. The

They were not too expensive, just over 2000 dollars for a pair.

Marion propped her chin up with one
hand and twirled the ring in the other

under the light. “Why does it seem

like I bought them a bit too small?

As soon as she said that, she heard a familiar voice beside her. “Try them on,
and you'll find out.
