The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 415 Coincidentally, Neither Did I

Marion blinked in disbelief as she watched Lucas approach. “I’m not dreaming, am I?” she said as she reached up to pinch her cheek.

“Ouch!” The pain confirmed her reality.

By the time Marion came to the realization, Lucas was already standing in front of her. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

He gently pulled her hand away. “Why are you pinching yourself?”

Marton looked at him, her eyes shimmering with a mixture of happiness and embarrassment. “I wanted to make sure you’re real.”

“Is that the only way to confirm it?” Lucas asked calmly and Marion’s face flushed slightly.

She had only thought of that method at the time. Now she realized how foolish it was.

Lucas hooked his arm around her waist and massaged her neck with his other hand.

Then he asked in a leisurely tone, “So, have you decided if I’m real or not?”

Marion blushed even more, as she met his gaze shyly yet could not bring herself to look away.

“Aren’t you supposed to be in Telesto?”

“I couldn’t help but worry about you.”

Lucas touched her face tenderly. “Do you want to get up and eat something?”

At his question, Marion suddenly remembered that she had slept very late the night before. “What

time is it?”

Could it be noon already?

Glancing at the time on his phone, Lucas replied, “It’s almost eleven.”

Marion’s face turned crimson. “I–I need to wash my face and brush my teeth!”

She could not believe she had slept in so late!

Lucas released her hand. As Marion got off the bed, her body swayed slightly. He reached out to steady her. “No need to rush.”

Marion felt extremely embarrassed as she quickly regained her balance. “I’m–not in a hurry.”

But she was! Lucas did not say anything, but the smile in his eyes was evident.

Well, maybe she was a little rushed after all!

Marion hurriedly dashed into the bathroom while keeping her head down. But not long after she entered, the phone on the bed started ringing.

Seeing the caller ID, Lucas raised his eyebrows. He picked up the phone, hesitated for a second, then answered, “Hello, this is Lucas. Marion’s in the bathroom.”

“Mar, I need-”

Cassie caught herself before she could finish.

“Mr. Craig?”

Was he not on a trip to Telesto?

“Yes, it’s me, Miss Cassie. Hello.”

“Oh, uh, Mr. Craig, hello.”

Cassie was completely caught off guard by Lucas’s answer.

She was stunned and took a few seconds to gather her thoughts. “Uh, you must be busy. I don’t have anything important to tell Mar at the moment. Sorry to bother you!”

Then Cassie hung up. She stared at her phone.

Lucas and Marion were together. So did Marion go to find Lucas last night? Or did Lucas return early in the morning?

Damn it!

Regardless of which was true, she envied their relationship!

Marion finished washing up and came out to find Lucas holding her phone.

“What’s wrong?” she asked, puzzled.

“Cassie just called and I answered,” Lucas explained.

Marion shrugged. “Oh, okay. I’ll call her back later.”

She took the phone and sat down at the vanity. She poured some moisturizer into her palm and patted it onto her face with her eyes closed.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Lucas standing behind her in the mirror. She quickly applied her eye cream. “I’m done.”

“I asked Ronda to cook you a bowl of noodles.”

Marion felt embarrassed at that. “I didn’t sleep well last night.‘

“Coincidentally, neither did I,” Lucas replied.

She paused for a moment, then asked, “Why not?”

Lucas glanced at her, his dark eyes sparkling mischievously. “What do you think, Mrs. Craig?”
