Chapter 313 Fondness
Lucas glanced at Amber who had suddenly appeared. There was a trace of displeasure that flashed in his dark eyes.
“Marion, this is my mother’s good friend’s daughter, Amber. Amber, this is my wife, Marion.”
“Hello, Miss Amber.” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Marion smiled at Amber.
Amber looked at her, “I was a bit rude just now. I hope I didn’t scare you, Miss Marion.”
She spoke and then looked at Lucas, “I won’t disturb you.”
Then Amber urged her horse, and the white steed carried her away.
Marion turned her head to watch, thinking about Amber calling someone ‘Prince‘ just now.
She felt an uneasiness settle in her chest.
Whether she was being oversensitive or not, Marion felt that Amber had done it on purpose.
She suppressed her sour thoughts, pressed her lips, and forced herself to say something.
“Miss Amber rides really well.”
“She’s average.
Hearing Lucas’s words, Marion felt less sour.
She glanced in Amber’s direction. She could not see it before, and yet now it seemed indeed average.
Anyway, Lucas said so!
However, she still felt annoyed.
Why did Amber call Lucas ‘Prince‘?
She still called him ‘Mr. Craig‘.
Truly their relationship did not even warrant a term of endearment!
Marion felt down, and she did not want to learn horseback riding anymore.
Just as the thought came up, a low, mellow voice came from behind her, “‘Prince‘ is the nickname my
grandfather gave me. My mother was fond of calling me that.”
ப
He paused, then added, “It was probably Miss Mable who told Amber.”
“Oh, really?”
Marion did not knout what to do with that information.

Lucas lowered his head to look at her. He saw the confusion in her eyes, and his mood improved. “Do you want to continue?”
“Yes!”
Why?
Because she had not learned how to ride a horse yet!
“Alright.”
Lucas agreed and resumed his instruction.
This time, Marion remembered the key points about horseback riding
Marion felt more focused after Amber’s interruption.
“Have you got it?”
Lucas asked her the question for the seventh time.
Marion nodded hesitantly, “Yes, I think I’ve
got it.
She was sure of it!
“Shall I dismount and let you practice?”
Without much thought, Marion blurted out, “No, please don’t.”
She immediately regretted it. Would Lucas suspect her of having ulterior motives?
“It’s getting late, and I also want to ride fast like them! How about you take me for a ride instead?”
Lucas raised an eyebrow, an unusual move for him. “You’re not afraid?”
“Why should I be afraid?”
If they were to fall, they would fall together.
“Good!”
Lucas agreed and urged the horse forward with a command.
The wind rushed past Marion’s ears. She could hear her heartbeat, “thump, thump, thump,” getting faster with every second.
The horse’s speed increased, and Marion looked back at Lucas, feeling a desire to do something reckless.
But it was just a passing thought, and she managed to restrain herself.
When Lucas reined in the horse, Marion felt slightly hesitant.
They were going so fast!

But she quickly suppressed her emotions, “That was so exhilarating!”
Lucas looked somewhat surprised, “Did you enjoy it?”
Marion turned to him and gazed into his deep black eyes, “I loved It.”
She answered with unwavering certainty, but the next moment she became timid, “Horseback riding is so much fun.”
Lucas looked at her, his eyes deep and contemplative. After a while, he said, “It’s getting late. I’ll bring you here again next time.”
“Sure!”
But… would they ride together next time?
