The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce) novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153 You’re Too Sensitive

On the other end of the phone, Cassie could not hear Marion’s voice and found it strange, “What’s happening, Mar? Did we lose connection?”

“No, it seems like there’s a burglar in my house-”

Just as she said the word ‘burglar’, the entrance door swung open, and a familiar figure walked in. Holding the phone, Marion awkwardly curled her feet to her body.

Just at that moment, Cassie’s voice came through the phone, “Quickly hide, I’ll call the police for you. By the way, what’s your home address? Oh, hurry up and exit the game. Let’s chat on WhatsApp through text. Don’t use voice, or the thief might discover you’re providing live commentary.”

‘Very well said. Let’s not mention this again,’ Marion thought to herself.

Then Cassie ended the voice call. Marion looked at Lucas, who had just entered, and forced a sheepish smile, “You’re back, Mr. Craig.”

“Didn’t Daniel send you my itinerary?” he said, implying that he was originally scheduled to return that evening.

Marion nervously pressed her palms together, “It’s so late, I thought you were coming back

tomorrow.”

She had been having too much fun the past few nights and had forgotten that Lucas was returning that day.

Lucas glanced at her, “It’s late. Why aren’t you asleep?”

“Uh, these past two days, I’ve had trouble sleeping.”

Marion dared not look at Lucas. Her talent for making up stories on the spot was not that great yet. Lucas’s eyes could see into people’s souls.

He undid his tie, revealing his delicate collarbones. With a casual glance, his dark eyes flickered,

Why?”

“Probably because you were away on a business trip, and the villa is too big. I’m not used to being

alone.”

Even Marion herself did not quite believe that explanation.

At that moment, the phone on the sofa made a sound, signaling her defeat in the game. Lucas looked at her and remarked, “You lost the game.”

Marion’s face felt warm and made her feel like a student caught playing games late at night.

She looked at Lucas, and put on a brave smile, “It’s okay, games are just for fun.”
