The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 350 Can I Get a Goodnight Kiss?

Watching the bathroom door close, Marlon finally mustered the courage to open Cassie’s chat.

Underneath her unread message, which Lucas had seen, Cassie had sent several more. [Hey? Why aren’t you replying to my messages?]

Cassie: [I get it. Sorry for bothering you.]

Marion glanced and sent a meme of a baffled bunny right away,

Cassie responded swiftly, (Aren’t you getting cozy with your hubby? Why are you messaging me?

Cassie: [Okay, no more jokes. I need to tell you something.]

Seeing Cassie serious, Marion touched her slightly warm cheek and sent her a question mark.

Cassie: [Last week, at the company dinner, I saw your dad at the restaurant. He was on the phone, saying something like, “Stop trying to get any money from him.” I’m worried if something’s up with him. Can you go home and check on him when you have time?]

Marion’s excited mood instantly settled down. She had gone back with Lucas half a month ago to celebrate Richard’s birthday and had not noticed any issues.

Marion pursed her lips, replying, [Okay, thanks. I’ll go home tomorrow!]

Cassie: [Alright, it’s late. Get some rest!]

Marion found it strange.

[You’re going to bed so early?]

Cassie: [It’s called being considerate. I’m single, but you’re not!]

Marion knew she should not have asked!

Just as Marion finished chatting with Cassie, Lucas emerged from the bathroom.

His black V–neck pajamas were loose, and Lucas, who had just gotten out of the shower, looked clean

and fresh.

Marion glanced up and felt her heart skip a beat at the sight of his chest.

She quickly averted her gaze, rolled to the side with the blanket, and made room for him.

“Done showering?”

Lucas towel–dried his hair before sitting on the edge of the bed. He casually glanced at her phone by the side, asking, “What were you talking to Miss Greaves about?” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Marion intended to go back home tomorrow to check on Richard after Cassie’s message. Since he asked, she simply opened the chat history and handed it over. “Cass mentioned my dad seemed off. I want to go back tomorrow to see him.”

“Okay.”

Lucas glanced at her phone for a moment, then handed it back to her. “I’m going to blow–dry my hair.

“Mm–hmm,” Marion replied, taking the phone. She yawned right after nodding.

She was really tired.

Marion placed the phone on the bedside table and withdrew her hand. That was when she realized she would be sharing a bed with Lucas tonight, making her a bit nervous.

The sound of the hairdryer in the bathroom abruptly stopped, and Marion’s heartbeat seemed to

quicken.

Soon enough, Lucas emerged from the bathroom. His hair, which had been wet moments ago, now looked effortlessly dry.

Marion could not help but silently appreciate the quality of the hairdryer. Just as she was lost in thought, the bed shifted slightly.

Lucas got onto the bed.

Marion watched as he pulled up the blanket. The next moment, she and the blanket were pulled

towards him.

Fresh from the shower, Lucas had a subtle woody scent about him, with the clear fragrance of his

shower gel, much like hers.

Marion curved her lips and tugged the thin blanket. With her eyes downcast, she softly asked, we sleep now?”

“I’ll turn off the light, then?” Lucas inquired.

“Okay.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the room plunged into darkness.

“Can

Marion kept her eyes open. Though she could not see anything clearly, she could vaguely sense Lucas lying beside her.

She stiffened as she felt a large hand wrap around her waist. Then, she was drawn into the man’s

embrace.

Marion bit her lip, feeling her heart racing uncontrollably. Suddenly, her face warmed, and she instinctively looked up.

In the darkness, those dark eyes gazed at her intensely. “Can I have a goodnight kiss?”

“No!”

“Come on, be good. Let’s be affectionate, just like your friend said,” he grinned and leaned in, capturing her lips and gently parting them.
