Chapter 391
Chapter 391 Seems Like It Had Been Planned for a While
When Marion was released, she felt a bit unsteady, leaning against Lucas for support.
The flames in front of them were dying down, and Marion’s breathing gradually calmed as she watched the dwindling fire.
After a while, Lucas ran his fingers through her hair. “Ready to head back?”
Marion blushed, feeling as if she was tipsy. “Y–yeah, let’s go back.”
Thinking about the person who had passed by earlier, her face flushed even more.
Marion could not believe how wild her birthday turned out to be, kissing Lucas on the beach like that
for several minutes.
Lucas smirked and took her hand, “Let’s go home, Mrs. Craig.”
Marion pointed at the trash on the ground. “Shouldn’t we clean up?”
“You’re so civilized, Mrs. Craig,” he said leisurely, with a hint of teasing in his voice. “But someone will clean it up.”
Marion glanced at him. “Let’s go home, then.”
Hmph. It seems like it was all planned from the beginning!
Halfway there, Marion could not help but exclaim, “Oh, no! I forgot to record a short video!”
It was such a shame. How nice it would have been to be able to capture the moment!
“It’s okay. Do it next time.”

“But next time will be different.”
“Will it?” He asked with a smirk.
“Yeah,” Marion nodded, still glancing back with reluctance.
Lucas raised an eyebrow and suddenly stopped in his tracks. He placed his hands on her shoulders, turning her around. “Well, Mrs. Craig, this time, you can record it.”
Marion blinked, not understanding, “Record what?”
As her words trailed off, the sound of fireworks suddenly erupted not far away with a loud “boom,” instantly illuminating the once pitch–black night sky.
“Fireworks! Lucas! There are fireworks!”
Marion could not believe her eyes. She gazed at the dazzling display while turning to Lucas with
excitement.
“Aren’t you going to record it?”
“Oh! Right!”
It had been so long since she had seen fireworks up close, and now they were unfolding right before
her eyes.
At first, Marion thought it might be tourists setting off fireworks. However, as she watched, she realized something was off–the fireworks spelled out “Happy Birthday, Mrs. Craig.”
Seeing this, she could not help but understand; this was clearly another surprise arranged by Lucas!
After nearly ten minutes of the fireworks display, Marion was finally satisfied with watching and stopped recording on her phone.
She turned to Lucas, her heart fluttering slightly as she said, “Thank you, Lucas.
“This birthday is the happiest and most surprising I’ve had in years!”
She lowered her head slightly. “I agree to let you read my diary!”
His dark eyes flickered slightly.
“Then let’s head home,” he said, taking her hand and leading her away.
Marion stumbled a bit. “There’s no need to rush like this.”
Lucas slowed his pace. “You’re not having second thoughts, are you?”
“No!” She was not that kind of person!

Marion huffed. Determined to prove she was not second–guessing it, she quickened her pace, even breaking into a jog. “Hurry, let’s go home!”
Lucas chuckled deeply and followed her back to the car.

All the way home, Marion kept replaying the fireworks video on her phone.
She had never seen such beautiful fireworks in her life.
Moreover, tonight, these beautiful fireworks were just for her.
Thinking about it, Marion felt her heart warm.
