Chapter 303 What Was That?
The barbecue joint owned by Lucas’s friend turned out to be quite delicious, and the portions were generous. Marion indulged herself in ten skewers of lamb, fifteen skewers of beef, five skewers of the house specialty, and even had a bowl of seafood congee. Finally, she topped it off with two grilled chicken wings.
When she finished, she felt stuffed, and the full discomfort kicked in as soon as she got home. Marion felt like she was about to explode as she stepped out of the car. Her stomach was painfully bloated.
Holding onto the car door, she almost cried while looking at Lucas, “I think I’ve overeaten. Do you have any digestive pills at home?”
Lucas looked at her, a hint of amusement flashing in his dark eyes, “Yes, I’ve got some. Can you walk?
“Maybe…” Marion took a few steps and immediately felt numb.
Lucas walked up to her, effortlessly picked her up, and carried her to the living room, then promptly fetched some digestive pills for her.
Accepting the pills, Marion felt she had never been so embarrassed in her life, “Thank you.”
She swore to herself she would not overindulge again! Even though she lacked restraint this time, could Lucas not show a bit of restraint with his laughter?
Blushing, Marion rubbed her stomach. “Stop laughing at me!”
Lucas poured her a glass of water, “Was I laughing?”
He said as he tried to suppress his amusement.
Marion just glared at him.
“Feeling better?”
She shook her head, “Still too stuffed.”
“Shall we go to the clinic?”
Marion did not hesitate, “No! I’ll be fine in a bit!”
Go to the clinic for overeating? Was he trying to make doctors and nurses laugh along with him?
Seeing her in such distress, Lucas stopped teasing her, “Give it another fifteen minutes.”
“Yeah, okay.”
Lucas’s phone on the table suddenly lit up.
Marion glanced at it quickly. She could not see the details but noticed it was a group message.
Afraid Lucas might misunderstand, she quickly averted her gaze. She did not have any intention of

snooping. It was just a reflex!
Lucas shot her a glance but did not say anything as he picked up his phone.
In the group, Martin was grumbling.

Martin: [You really heartless @Lucas! Your wife can’t handle alcohol, yet you asked me to give her red
wine!]
Martin: [I’m starting to suspect that Marion was deceived into going to the Civil Affairs Bureau by you!]
Tobias: [Perhaps. No need for suspicion though.]
Preston: [Lucas was trying to be seductive…]
Lucas glanced at Marion, then casually replied: [I can understand your jealousy, after all, you guys
don’t have wives.]
Martin: [Wow…]
Tobias: [I’m speechless]
Preston: [Damn you!]
Lucas put down his phone, not bothering to read any more of the group messages. After all, Martin could not come up with anything useful. Well, they were still single after all.
Marion took a moment, feeling like she had finally come back to life, and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing she had avoided a trip to the clinic.
“I’m better now.”
“Not feeling stuffed anymore?”
“No, not stuffed anymore.”
Lucas lowered his gaze and reached a hand toward her stomach.
Before Marion could react, she felt a warm sensation on her belly.
Through the thin layer of her skirt, she felt the warmth from Lucas’s hand,
Marion stared at the hand pressed against her belly, her mind going blank.
Lucas quickly withdrew his hand, “Still a little bloated.‘
Hearing his words, Marion’s face instantly turned red.
She looked at him, almost gritting her teeth as she spoke, “That wasn’t bloating.”
“Then what was it?”
“That’s just my stomach!”
