Oh no, he found out!

How embarrassing!

Marion wished she could vanish on the spot! However, not only did she fail to disappear, but her posture at that moment was particularly awkward and suggestive.

Lucas glanced at her crimson ears, feeling sorry for her. He chuckled and helped her to the side. “Did you hurt your lips? Does it hurt?”

Upon hearing his concern, Marion subconsciously bit her lip. A sharp pang shot through her, causing her to furrow her brow unconsciously.

Yet when she looked up at Lucas, she shook her head, denying, “It doesn’t hurt.‘
