Chapter 247 You Can Still Think About It In Your Dreams
“So, he’s the one, huh?” Cassie realized hearing Marion’s words.
Truly the words of a long–time friend.
“I guess I’m just scared to love again.” Marion sighed and mused. She had invested all her courage to
approach Jameson, and extracting herself from that situation was no easy feat.
Now, she was grateful for the ability to have feelings for someone else. However, she was the one who
caught feelings first. It terrified her, knowing it might end the same way.
Cassie knew Marion had not fully healed from the wounds of her previous
relationship. Marion just did not talk about it often, so Cassie never probed. With Marion unintentionally
laying bare her feelings, as her good friend, Cassie felt a mix of sympathy and helplessness.
“To be honest, have you ever thought that maybe Lucas likes you too?” Cassie asked.
Marion was writing her order down, and, at Cassie’s words, her hand slipped, breaking the tip of the
pencil.

Cassie chuckled, “Seriously, you underestimate yourself.”
Marion handed the menu back to Cassie, saying, “It’s not about confidence. Lucas just isn’t that kind of
person!”
“What kind of person is he then?”
“Do you think Lucas is the type to have a secret crush?” Marion raised an eyebrow
Cassie thought for a moment and quickly shook her head. “You’re right, Marion. Maybe I’m just a
hopeless romantic!”
Marion huffed. “But still…
“Still what?”
“It’s okay to dream a little.”
It was embarrassing to admit, and Marion blushed after saying it.
Cassie clicked her tongue. “Dreaming about that is all you can come up with? Marion, you’re being too
timid.”
Marion was at a loss for words. Cassie truly had a mind full of inappropriate thoughts!
Since it was Valentine’s Day, everywhere was buzzing with activities. After a casual lunch, Marion and
Cassie strolled around until it was time for dinner.
Cassie had reserved a popular restaurant. Due to the special day, it was crowded, and the service was
a bit slow. By the time they finished dinner, it was already past seven.
They had initially planned to go to a bar to check out some guys, but Cassie was more of a talker than
a doer when it came to these plans. Eventually, they settled on a trendy lounge, wanting to soak in the
festiveness.
The live singer played acoustic guitar and sang folk songs. Unlike a bar, the atmosphere was chill,
complemented by soft lighting.
Marion ordered a glass of orange soda, and she and Cassie sat in a cozy booth, enjoying the live
music.

stage and exchange each other’s Instagram accounts. If both agreed to follow each other, their bill
would be waived. It was not compulsory, but it added a fun element to the night.
Cassie’s eyes sparkled. “It looks like they’re thinking about us single ladies.”
She glanced at Marion. “You don’t have to worry about it; you already have a husband.”
eyes,
Marion rolled her thinking of Lucas. She could not help but take a photo and send it to him with a
message. [We’re at the lounge. No handsome guys here.]
Was it too deliberate? Maybe she should take it back?
Marion hesitated, and eventually, too much time had passed to delete it.
Suddenly, she felt nervous. Would Lucas think she was conceited?
Seeing her staring at her phone, Cassie teased, “Any handsome guys in there?”
She leaned over to take a peek and happened to catch Lucas’s reply.
“…Sorry, I shouldn’t have pried,” Cassie said.
Knowing there was romantic tension, she still had to stick her nose in. Well, she brought it on herself!
