The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 323 What Do You Mean?

Lucas looked at Marion who was in his arms. Her eyes were darting around like a startled rabbit, refusing to meet his gaze. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

With a click of his tongue, he raised one hand behind her, preventing any escape, while he placed his other hand on the back of her head, firmly holding it in place.

Then he kissed her, taking a bite of the cherry he had desired for so long.

Her lips were sweet and tender, and Lucas felt that merely placing it in his mouth was not enough, he

wanted to crush it and swallow it whole.

When he released Marion, her eyes shimmered as they concealed her true emotions.

She was oblivious to her own allure as she continued to gaze at Lucas.

Unable to bear her scrutiny, Lucas raised his hand and covered her eyes. “Honey, if you keep looking at me like this, I won’t act on a whim anymore.”

His use of the word ‘honey‘ showed his restrained desire.

Marion’s heart thundered in her chest and she felt like her hard–earned composure was slipping away again.

What did Lucas mean by that? Why did he suddenly kiss her?

“Why did you kiss me?”

Marion gently pushed his hand away from her eyes and stared directly into his eyes. There was a mixture of confusion and stubbornness in her gaze.

Lucas found it almost unbearable. He swallowed hard.

Marion felt her heartbeat quicken.

“Why did you lie to me?”

He had not answered her question but instead asked one that Marion had not answered yet.

The two locked eyes silently.

Marion could not hold on for long. She was only fit to be prey to a predator.

“Let’s call it even –

I lied to you with a silly motive, and you kissed me for a silly reason.”

She lowered her head as she suppressed the bitterness in her heart as she spoke.

However, Lucas was not going to let her get away with it so easily. He reached out and lifted her chin. ” Jealous, are you?”

Marion felt exposed in her lie.

She became flustered. “No… You shouldn’t assume such things.”

She forced a smile, trying hard to salvage her dignity. But it was futile.

Marion felt quite pathetic in her attempts to deny the truth.

Her eyes filled with tears and she knew it would only be a matter of seconds before they would trail down her cheeks.

Seeing her on the verge of tears, Lucas sighed in resignation. “Is it so hard to admit that you like me?”

Despite his retreat, he saw her tears trickle down her face.

Marion hastily wiped away her tears and lowered her head. She felt utterly embarrassed. “I’m sorry for troubling you.”

“Do you think you’re troubling me?”

Marion was momentarily bewildered as looked up at him.

“It’s not a problem at all.”

His black eyes looked at her tenderly. He was smiling.

Marion suddenly felt at a loss. “What do you mean?”

Did she dare hope for that? Had she misinterpreted what he said? She blinked and another tear rolled

down her face.

Unable to bear seeing her cry, Lucas wiped away the tear, then lifted her onto his lap. “Do you want to

know what it means?”

Marion just wanted to confirm if she had misunderstood him. She had even noticed that he had placed her on his lap.

She nodded in answer. “Yes.”
