The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 330 I’ll Go Back On My Word

Her mind was a mess as she tried to process the fact that Lucas had just lifted her and placed her on

the bed.

The next moment, all the lights in the room went out, plunging her vision into complete darkness.

Marion felt like crying. “Please don’t do this, Lucas. I’m scared.”

“What are you afraid of?” he asked while pulling a thin blanket over her. “Are you afraid I’ll eat you up?”

Marion lay stiffly, too afraid to move.

Lucas drew her closer into his embrace. “Don’t worry. I’m not going to eat you up tonight.”

“What about… tomorrow night?” Marion blurted out, immediately regretting her words,

Lucas clicked his tongue and chuckled. “You’re quite eager, aren’t you?”

“No, no, you’ve got it wrong. I… I was just asking.”

She was enveloped in Lucas’s embrace, surrounded by his crisp scent.

While trying to wriggle her way out, Marion accidentally bumped her knee into Lucas. Realizing what she had done, she froze. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to…”

She really did not mean to!

“Stay still, sweetheart,” his deep, velvety voice whispered in her ear, making her feel hot and sweaty like she was trapped in a steaming pot.

“I won’t move.”

She obediently lowered her hands, resolved not to fidget anymore.

After a night of turmoil, Marion was indeed tired.

The dark room was so quiet they could hear each other’s breathing. With her back against Lucas’s chest, she could feel his strong and steady heartbeat.

It made her wonder how things had escalated to that point.

Marion was not used to sleeping on her side and wanted to change positions but was afraid of waking

Lucas. Hence, she gingerly shifted from her side to her back.

Just as she settled, Lucas spoke up. “Didn’t you say you were tired?”

“I… I’m just changing positions.”

Lucas remained silent as Marion shifted to find a more comfortable position. However, she realized NôvelDrama.Org © content.

her new posture only made things more intimate, with her now facing Lucas directly.

Should she switch back?

Just as she contemplated returning to her previous position, a large hand pressed down on her waist.

“If you can’t sleep, I don’t mind helping you with some bedtime activities, Mrs. Craig,” Lucas remarked, his voice sending a shiver down Marion’s spine.

She responded with a tremble in her voice, “Lucas, don’t tease me.”

He promised he would not make a move on her tonight!

In the darkness, Lucas sighed, and with a soft click, the nightlight illuminated the room.

The sudden brightness caused Marion to squint involuntarily. Once her eyes adjusted, she opened them and glanced at Lucas, who was now sitting up.

“I’m sorry,” she said to him.

He glanced at her and then got down from the bed. He stood by the edge as he looked at her and said firmly, “Come.”

Marion hesitated. “What’s wrong?”

“I’ll walk you back to the guest room.”

If she kept that up all night, he would have to kiss his sleep goodbye.

Relieved, Marion’s eyes lit up, and she insisted, “No need, I can go by myself.”

She tried to move toward the edge of the bed to leave on her own but realized her slippers were not

nearby.

As she searched for them, Lucas lifted her effortlessly into his arms.

“Stop fidgeting. If you keep this up, I’ll go back on my word,” Lucas warned.

With his firm warning, Marion allowed him to carry her back to the guest room.

Once settled, she breathed a sigh of relief. As if afraid he would go back on his word, she quickly lay down and pulled the covers over herself, her hands resting on top.

“I’m going to sleep now. Goodnight,” she said softly.

Lucas glanced at her with a hint of resignation. “Goodnight.”

He smoothed her hair before turning off the light and exiting the room, closing the door behind him. Marion watched as he left and could not help but feel she had been somewhat unreasonable.
