Chapter 369 Don’t Take Advantage of Her
“Ah! I 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.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
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!”
Chapter 369 Don’t Take Advantage of Her
“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.
“Take it. It was Lucas’s mom’s and should have been given to you when you got married! It came to me when she passed so it’s yours now!”
Marion found it hard to refuse, “Thank you, Aunt Mindy.”
“Whenever you have the time, come over for dinner! Ignore Lucas if he’s busy!” Danica was
practically sticking to Marion.
She and Gale were twins who grew up together. Despite Danica’s pretty appearance, her personality was very easygoing.
Marion spoke sweetly, looked beautiful, and smelled good. Danica wanted to hug her.
Who did not want to get close to a beautiful woman?
Seeing Danica reaching out to hug Marion again, Lucas raised his hand to stop her. He pulled Marion to his side, saying, “Stop taking advantage of her, Danica.”
