Chapter 1179 Do Not Marry Him
Lucius Darnell’s figure hadn’t changed at all compared to his peers.
His suit’s color had changed from his usual dark red to a somber gray, showing a sense of maturity and gravitas. There was an indescribable sense of aloofness when he looked at people.
Lucius had a laptop on his lap and seemed to be working. The light cast on his deeply defined features gave him a serious and composed look. It was a stark
contrast to the reckless man he once was.
Marie’s gaze froze. The last time he saw Lucius was at her wedding.
The reckless, free–spirited man had called her amidst the wedding crowd. He sounded drunk, or perhaps it was just his usual nonchalant self. His voice was
frivolous.
“Hey, listen to me. Don’t marry him. Can’t you take a look at me? I’ll have you instead
if you agree.”
Lucius‘ Cascadian wasn’t very fluent then. He carried an accent he couldn’t shake off, having grown up abroad. His classmates used to say it gave him an Emstia gentleman’s charm.
Marie found it strange, especially since she had never had any interaction with
Lucius.
How did he even get her phone number, and why was he making such a joke?
Moreover, he was invited by Shane as a groomsman.
Marie didn’t think much of it at that time and hung up the phone immediately.
Marie assumed that Lucius was probably drunk and had dialed the wrong number. Even if it wasn’t a mistake, it had to be a joke.
She felt uneasy about it back then and hence, had never mentioned it to anyone.
After hanging up, Marie glanced at Lucius a couple of times. She saw him shaking dice at the party, surrounded by crowds of people. Only then did Marie breathe a sigh

of relief.
2/3
It was probably just a wrong number, especially since he hadn’t mentioned her name
in the phone call.
