The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 403 Are You Angry?

Lucas broke three antacids and handed them to her, “Next time, don’t eat so much. If you like the food, we can come here again,‘

Marion was initially embarrassed, and hearing his words made her blush even more. She reached out, took the antacids from his palm, and chewed them, mumbling, “I didn’t mean to eat so much.”

She was hungry and had eaten a bit too quickly.

Usually, she ate slowly and methodically, but today she devoured her food like a hungry wolf, hardly bothering to chew before swallowing.

She had forgotten that if the food was not chewed properly and eaten quickly, it did not reach the stomach, so one would not feel full and would end up eating too much.

Lucas gently touched her head, “I’m not blaming you. Eating too much isn’t good for the stomach.”

Marion swallowed the antacids obediently and nodded, “I won’t do it next time.”

He smiled as he took her hand in his, “Let’s go home, Mrs. Craig.”

Marion nodded, “Yes, let’s go.” She was exhausted and just wanted to go home, take a shower, and sleep.

Lucas settled the bill and led her out of the private room. Just as they exited, the door of the adjacent room opened.

To their surprise, it was Kirk and Greg.

Seeing Kirk, Marion could not help but recall Lucas’s question earlier.

Kirk’s gaze lingered on her face for a moment before shifting to Lucas, “Mr. Craig, Mrs. Craig.”

Since Kirk had greeted them, Marion could not ignore them both, “What a coincidence, Kirk, Greg.”

Greg nodded politely, though his calm exterior belied the pity he felt for Kirk.

‘Ah, this really hits close to home!‘ Greg thought to himself.

Lucas nodded, “Marion is a bit tired today, so we’ll leave first.”

With that, he took Marion’s hand and walked out.

Kirk stood there, watching their retreating figures, his expression growing colder by the moment.

Fearing that Kirk might act impulsively, Greg whispered to him, “They’re married! Legally protected as husband and wife. You… should find someone else to like!”

Marion was already being led downstairs by Lucas, while Kirk withdrew his gaze and glanced at Greg, “Easier said than done.”

Three years had passed, and it was not as simple as finding someone new.

Kirk deeply regretted not stepping in when Marion’s situation with Jameson had escalated.

If he had, the one holding Marion’s hand tonight would have been him, not Lucas.

The thought left Kirk feeling even worse.

As Lucas led Marion out of the restaurant, the night enveloped them, illuminated only by the dim streetlights.

Their car was parked in the nearby parking lot, a few minutes away.

Marion cautiously stole a glance at Lucas, “Are you angry?” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Though she did not know what Lucas could be angry about, she had a feeling he was.

Lucas glanced at her, “Why would I be angry?”

He chuckled, his words dripping with sarcasm.

Marion caught on, “He probably just got distracted earlier…”

When they had left, she had glanced back at Kirk, only to find him still standing there, watching her.

In that brief moment, Marion recalled Miley’s description of the way Kirk looked at her today-

intense.

It was not a big deal, but unfortunately, Lucas caught her in the act when she turned back.

Marion felt tongue–tied and did not know how to explain what she did.
