Marion looked at him and blinked slightly. “So you’ll be going then?”

“Mm–hmm.” Lucas nodded and gently patted her hand. “I brought you a gift from my business trip”

Marion’s eyes lit up instantly. “Mango candies?”

He looked at her, smiling but did not say anything.

Marion felt a sense of anticipation. “Where are they?”

Lucas pointed to her dressing table with his hand. “On the dressing table,”

She quickly got down from his lap. “I want to see it!”

It had become a tradition that whenever Lucas went on a business trip, he would bring back mango candies for her as a gift.

Marion stepped into the walk–in closet. Before she reached the dressing table, she spotted a box of candies placed on it.

Her eyes gleamed with excitement as she quickened her pace.

Upon reaching the dressing table, Marion discovered that besides the box of mango candies, there was also a jewelry box on one side.

She raised an eyebrow, picked up the mango candies, opened the box, took one out, and popped it into her mouth. Then she picked up the jewelry box.

As soon as she lifted the jewelry box, Lucas walked up behind her. “Is it delicious?”

The mango candy was slightly sour. Marion took another bite and felt the sweetness of the mango.

She turned to look at Lucas. “It’s a bit sour,” she paused for a moment before continuing, “but it’s

quite tasty.”

She took another mango candy from the box and offered it to him. “Do you want to try?”

His gaze swept over her rosy lips, and his Adam’s apple bobbed slightly. “Is it okay?”

Marion shrugged. “Why wouldn’t it be?”

It was just a piece of candy, she was not that stingy!

“Then I’ll try one.”

Marion felt a warmth on the back of her neck and a weight around her waist. Before she could react, she was pulled into Lucas’s embrace.

Then he pressed his lips to hers.

The sweet and sour notes of the mango candy blended with Lucas’s minty breath leaving her both

alert and entranced.

Then Lucas snatched the candy from her mouth.

She widened her eyes and looked at Lucas in disbelief. “How did you do that?”

Was that not a bit too much?

Lucas pushed the candy into his mouth with his tongue, savoring the sweet and sour taste spreading on his tongue. He curled his lips, and the smile in his black eyes gradually spread. “Very delicious.”

Marion’s heart thumped under his gaze, and the candy she had intended to give him slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.

The sound of the candy hitting the floor seemed abrupt in the quiet room. She looked down, her face flushing crimson.

Was he tasting the candy or tasting her?

Lucas leaned down to pick up the candy, unwrapped it, and offered it to her. “Here, yours.”

Marion blinked, popped the candy into her mouth, then avoided his gaze, looking at the jewelry box on the dressing table. She picked it up and brought it to him. “Is this also a business trip gift?”

He nodded lightly with a faint smile. “Yes.”

“What is it?”

Was it a ring?

“Open it and see for yourself.”

Marion glanced at him, then opened the jewelry box in her palm.

Inside was a unique–looking bracelet.
