Chapter 283 I’m Not That Kind of Person
Cassie had freshened up but was still feeling half–asleep. She kept yawning as she moved around her
house. But what could she do? Marion was already sitting at the table, having breakfast.
She could not go back to sleep, could she?
Cassie reluctantly sat down across from Marion. She took a sip of water and felt a bit more awake.
Observing Marion drinking soy milk, Cassie spoke up, “You’re not yourself, Marion.”
Marion felt a pang of guilt. Her hand trembled slightly, and the soy milk nearly slipped from her grasp.
“There’s nothing wrong with me. I think you’re the one who hasn’t woken up yet!”
Cassie snorted, “Stop pretending. Did you get any sleep last night?”
She studied Marion’s complexion. “No, you didn’t. So why did you wake up so early today?
“It’s fine to wake up early, but the problem is that you came to find me at such an ungodly hour. Tell
me the truth!”

“Don’t give me that. Is it because of Lucas? Did you two fight?”
Marion knew she could not hide it from Cassie, so she decided to be forthright, “Do you think Lucas is
the type to argue with me?”
“Then why couldn’t you sleep last night?”
“I went to bed early after talking to you. I took a shower and went to sleep. I woke up at six. I didn’t
want to bump into Lucas, so I came to find you.
”
She bit into her bread aggressively, as if it were Lucas himself.
“He’s being cautious of me, right? Then I might as well be sensible and avoid unnecessary face–to-
face encounters. We can maintain a loving image in public, and that’s enough.”
“You’re acting exactly like a woman upset by what her boyfriend did!” Cassie retorted.
“So are you telling me that if Lucas calls you later, you won’t happily leave me and run back to him?”
Was that not how all women who complained to their friends about their partners act?
Cassie shivered as she suspiciously eyed Marion.
Marion sighed, “Rest assured, I’m not that kind of person.”
The thing was, Lucas would not bother calling her for any reason.
Even if he did call, he would not apologize or admit fault. He probably did not even know what he did
wrong. Men!
Cassie snorted. She did not believe Marion at all.
After finishing her breakfast Cassie still felt tired. She pleaded with Marion, “Can you let me sleep in for
a couple of hours?”
Seeing Cassie’s dark circles, Marion felt guilty. “Alright.”
Cassie thanked Marion and returned to her room. As soon as she lay down, she fell into a deep sleep.

Marion noticed that her phone battery was low and almost asked Cassie for a charger but decided
against it when she noticed Cassie was sound asleep.
‘Forget it, I’ll find it myself.”
Marion found the charger and sat on the sofa as she browsed the Internet.
The rumors about her and Lucas heading for a divorce had subsided online for over a week.
When the rumors were at their peak, she did not dare to read the comments. Now that it was old news,
Marion finally felt comfortable enough to check the comments.
Even if she accidentally liked a comment, nobody would notice.
Marion was engrossed in reading comments, and more than an hour passed.
Cassie woke up to use the bathroom and saw Marion sitting on the sofa, furiously tapping her phone.
When she came out, Marion was still at it.
Unable to resist, Cassie walked over and took a look. She realized Marion was reading comments
praising her and Lucas. However, Marion was vehemently tapping… on the comments that contained
photos of Lucas in formal attire from his company.
Cassie found it amusing. “Why are you so angry? Why not just smack the real person? What’s the
point of tapping on the pictures? Geez!”
