Chapter 425 Are You Sure You Won’t Participate? 

She glanced nervously outside. Not seeing Lucas, she walked up to the piano and answered the phone. “Hello?” 

“JJ, are you sure you won’t participate in this competition?” 

Marion bit her lip. “I’ll pass this time. Maybe next year.” 

The person on the other end of the line sounded anxious. “Are you sure you won’t reconsider? We really hope you’ll join this competition! We’ve already contacted the media, and you’ll surely become famous!” 

That was exactly what Marion was worried about. She did not want to become famous! 

Though hesitant, Marion still refused. “No, I really can’t participate this year. I’ve just recovered from a leg injury.” 

Hearing her firm refusal, the person on the phone sighed with regret. “Alright, if you change your mind, feel free to contact me anytime. I’ll keep your spot reserved. Sorry for bothering you.” 

“Okay, goodbye.” 

After hanging up, Marion looked at the piano in front of her but felt no desire to practice. Amber’s words suddenly came to mind, and Marion curled her lips, suppressing the slight discomfort in her heart. She sighed, cleared her mind, and began playing the piano. 

She practiced diligently, so much so that she did not notice Lucas entering. 

It was not until she finished playing that she heard his voice behind her. 

Marion turned her head and looked at him. “When did you come in?” 

“Not long ago.” 

At that moment, Marion’s phone, which she had left on the piano, lit up. 

His dark gaze swept over to it but he quickly looked away. “Dinner?” 

Marion nodded, getting up to grab her phone. As she instinctively pressed the power button, the screen lit up with an unread message from Cassie. 

“Alright.” 

She had just responded when Mrs. Bailey’s voice came from the kitchen, “Sir, ma’am, dinner is ready. 

Lucas glanced at Marion, and she chirped, walking over to him and taking his hand, “Let’s eat, let’s eat.” 

Funny enough, she was hungry again.

Lucas had rushed back and had left behind a pile of work in the city. The next morning, just after seven, Marion heard him getting up. 

Seeing her awake, Lucas leaned down to kiss her gently. “It’s still early, go back to sleep for a bit.” 

Still groggy from just waking up, Marion did not react to the kiss. She hummed and asked, “Do you have an early meeting today?” 

“Yeah,” Lucas replied, running a gentle hand over her face. “Go back to sleep.” 

Still not fully awake, Marion mumbled a vague agreement and closed her eyes, drifting back to sleep. 

Watching her drift off again, Lucas smirked and then got up to leave the room. 

As the door closed, the room fell back into silence. 

Marion had not slept for long when she suddenly realized, belatedly, that Lucas had just kissed her. 

She instantly woke up and stared at the ceiling. She reached up to touch her lips, feeling a warmth spread across her face. 

Unable to go back to sleep, she got out of bed. 

By the time she was ready to go downstairs, Lucas was just about to leave. 

When he saw her, he stood in the foyer and watched her.
