FreeNovelChapter 442 Missing Her
Marion did not pay any mind to Cassie's words. Cassie's guess was something Marion had thought about it ages
ago.
It simply did not make sense!
If Lucas knew she was JJ all along, why did he not just say it when Amber mentioned how his sweetheart was a
jet ski racer?
Obviously, Lucas had no idea she was J)!
The traffic light turned red ahead, and Marion slowed the car to a stop. She picked up her phone and checked the
time. It was almost eight.
Lucas sent her a message, along with a picture.
Curious, she opened it, only to find a picture of the moon.
Marion did not quite understand. She replied with a question mark. [What's up?]
Instead of answering her question, Lucas only told her to focus on the road.
Marion felt puzzled and instinctively glanced at the moon outside.

Hmm, there was nothing special about it.
If she had to say, the moon tonight was unusually round.
With four seconds left until the light turned green, she put her phone down and prepared
to head off.
The traffic was smooth, and Marion returned hto the villa without any hindrance.
However, she could not shake off the meaning behind Lucas’s picture during the drive. Once she parked the car,
she rushed out of the garage.
Just a few steps out of the garage, Marion saw a man standing in the darkness. He was wearing a white casual
shirt, looking at her.
Marion blinked, staring at Lucas in front of her. She hesitated for a second before rushing over to him.
It had been almost a day since they last saw each other.
Lucas opened his arms and immediately pulled her into an embrace.
Marion crashed into his embrace, enveloped by the familiar scent of cedarwood.
Feeling slightly embarrassed, she loosened her grip after a moment and stepped out of his embrace. “Why did
you senda picture of the moon?”
Lucas lifted his hand and brushed aside a few stray strands of hair on her cheek. “The moon tonight is pretty.”
Marion looked up at the sky and nodded in agreement. “Yeah, it is. The moon is so round tonight!”
Lucas looked at her and added softly, “I want to enjoy the moon with Mrs. Craig.”
At first, Marion did not catch on, happily responding, “Sure!”
The moon really did look beautiful tonight, and the weather was nice too-gentle breeze and clear skies, perfect
for moon-gazing!
However, she had spent the whole day practicing on the jet ski outside. Even though she had taken a shower
before coming back, Marion still felt sweaty.
“Can | take a shower first?”
“Sure.
His gaze swept over her lips, and he nodded in response before leading her into the villa.
Once inside, Lucas let go of her hand. Marion glanced at him, then watched as he walked to the kitchen island to
grab a glass of water. Her eyes brightened with anticipation, and she hurried upstairs, pulling the straps of her
backpack along the way.

Marion headed straight into the closet, grabbed a set of pajamas, and headed to the bathroom for a quick
shower.
After washing her hair and spending stblow-drying it until it was halfway dry, she finally stepped out.
As she opened the bathroom door, Marion did not see Lucas.
She walked to the vanity, poured smoisturizer into her palm, applied it to her face,
and walked out.
No one was in the living room, either.
Perhaps he was in the garden...
Just as Marion was about to leave the room, she caught sight of someone standing on the balcony out of the
corner of her eye.
The loose white shirt of the man fluttered in the wind. Marion looked at Lucas’s back and suddenly remembered
what he had said downstairs half an hour ago.
“The moon tonight looks pretty.”
“I want to enjoy the moon with Mrs. Craig.”
Finally, Marion understood the double entendre behind Lucas’s words.
Moon-gazing was a pretense. Wanting her was the truth.
