The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 177 Lucas is a Good Person

Marion did not expect Cassie to be so sharp, and she felt too guilty to respond to Cassie’s messages. She sat on the bed, trying hard to recall how she ended up in Lucas’s room last night.

It seemed she did not sleep well last night, having many dreams, some of which were even dreams within dreams. Now, as she tried to remember, she seemed to dream that she and Lucas were passionately kissing! Was it just a dream?

Did she really embrace and kiss Lucas last night? The more Marion thought about it, the more frightened she became. She could not believe she could be such a bold woman! Forget it, forget it. Let it go!

After putting away her thoughts, Marion’s stomach protested with hunger. She glanced at her stomach and sighed. There was no other option. She was hungry.

But how could she face Lucas today after what happened last night? It was Saturday, and Lucas had a day off. She could not show her face in front of him. After what she did last night, how could she face him today?

Thinking about Lucas’s gaze when he kissed her collarbone, he said, “Reciprocity.” Maybe he wanted to reciprocate? Lucas could have bitten her in revenge, but he did not!

‘Lucas is a good person!’ she thought to herself.

Comparing herself to him, Marion felt like a pervert!

Thinking about how she had just coveted the feel of Lucas’s abdominal muscles, Marion felt more and more like she was not human.

Just as Marion was deeply reflecting on herself, there was a knock on the door.

Marion stiffened. She did not dare to open the door lest she had to face her shame! However, the person outside was persistent and knocked on the door again.

Both sides held their ground for about two minutes until Lucas spoke, “Your slippers, you left them at the door.”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Marion's face instantly turned red, and she hurriedly ran down from the bed to open the door. As the door opened, Lucas had just bent down to place her buriny slippers on the floor.

His paz gaze fell on her bare feet, and he paused, “Be careful not to catch a cold.” Marion felt embarrassed as she fidgeted with her fingers. Fortunately, Lucas did not say anything else and turned to leave.

Initially, Marion had planned to play dead in her room all day. However, her hungry stomach betrayed her and made her feel weak. Eventually, she went downstairs for breakfast.

Throughout the meal, she did not dare to make any eye contact with Lucas. If her gaze accidentally brushed his collar, she immediately restrained herself.

After finishing breakfast, Mrs. Bailey came to discuss the lunch menu. Marion glanced at Lucas’s departing figure going upstairs, feeling a slight relief. She ordered two dishes she wanted to eat.

Once she finished discussing lunch with Mrs. Bailey, Marion usually used her time to practice the

piano.

But she was not in the mood. After playing the Fate Symphony twice, she found herself lost in thought. Her phone, on the side, kept receiving messages from Cassie. Marion read them all but felt too guilty to reply.

When Mrs. Bailey came upstairs to find her, Marion was browsing information about what department she should consult for her sleepwalking.

“Mrs. Craig, there’s a guest downstairs.”

Marion paused, thinking it might be Lucas’s stepmother. “Alright, I’ve got it. You can go.”

She gathered her scattered thoughts and went to find Lucas.

It would appear that Marion was off the mark. The guest was not Lucas’s stepmother but Alice.

It seemed that Alice was not there for retribution but for gratitude.
