Chapter 444 I Want to Cuddle You to Sleep
He looked at her with a smirk. “I want to look at the moon for a little longer. After all, my dear Marion doesn’t allow me to gaze at her.”
Marion felt a bit awkward and did not dare to ask further. She hurried back to her room and climbed onto the bed.
Standing outside on the balcony had left her hair in a bit of a mess.
Pulling the thin blanket over herself, Marion glanced at the balcony. “Aren’t
you tired?”
She had to get up early tomorrow morning for training, and they would not see each other for the whole day. On this rare night together, Marion wanted to cuddle with him.
She did not know why, but holding Lucas made her feel peaceful. A hint of indescribable joy would well up from the depths of her heart, making her feel content and happy.
Lucas glanced at her and answered with action. He closed the balcony doors and sat on the edge of her bed. “I haven’t showered yet.”
“Oh!” Marion felt a bit disappointed. “Well, then, should I go to sleep first?”
He nodded and reached out to ruffle her hair.
Marion yawned again, her eyes filling with sleepiness.
Seeing that she was indeed tired, Lucas did not disturb her further. “Go to sleep.”
He pulled the blanket over her and got up. However, as he stood, he felt his sleeve being tugged.
Marion looked at him, feeling slightly embarrassed as she said, “Can you shower quickly?
She lowered her head, unable to meet his dark gaze. “I want to cuddle you to sleep.”
Realizing how shameless she sounded, Marion pulled the blanket higher, covering herself entirely. Through the blanket, she weakly muttered, “I’m sleeping, I’m sleeping!”
Lucas looked at the bulge of the blanket, his throat tightening slightly as his dark eyes
darkened further.
He watched for a couple of seconds before heading towards the wardrobe.
Only after hearing the sound of the bathroom door close did Marion lower the blanket to

peck out with her eyes. She glanced around the room, making sure Lucas had indeed gone to shower, before finally mustering the courage to stick her head out.
Thinking about what she had just said, Marion could not help but cover her face.
What a shameless thing to say!
How could she even say something like that?!
After calming down for a moment, Marion regained her composure.
The drowsiness was becoming more evident. She lay on her side, staring at the bathroom door, counting.
‘Just count to 100.
‘If he hasn’t come out by then, it’s time to sleep!‘
However, she only managed to count up to 18 before her fighting eyelids closed, and she drifted off to sleep.
Lucas emerged from the shower to find Marion already fast asleep in bed.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, amused.
He was asked to hurry up, yet she fell asleep within minutes.
However, Lucas understood why Marion was so tired and did not have the heart to wake
her up. He reached out to touch her cheek but eventually pulled his hand back.
拿
Early the next morning, Marion woke up.
This time, she was more skilled at stealing a kiss, but Lucas caught her in the act.
After being caught, she excused herself and dashed into the bathroom to freshen up quickly.
Just like yesterday, she had breakfast and headed out, not returning until after eight in the evening.
Lucas went to an event alone, where Preston and the others teased him for being abandoned by his wife not long after being married.
The following week was hectic for both Lucas and Marion, with little time for them to spend together except for a few words at night.
Fortunately, this kind of life was about to end soon.
