The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce) novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159 Mrs. Craig is Not to Be Exploited

Marion reluctantly reigned in her thoughts and refocused her attention on the game. A team fight erupted quickly, and Marion did not have the mental space to consider whether she and Lucas were

too close.

Lucas, on the side, occasionally offered a remark, and with his guidance, Marion only died twice in that round. When the game concluded, she marveled at her impressive performance.

Marion could not help but boast to Lucas, “I’m the MVP.”

“Indeed, very impressive,” the man looked at her and graciously acknowledged her achievement. It

was at that moment that Marion realized she was almost in Lucas’s embrace.

She instantly lost her composure. Even the hand holding the phone trembled a bit. The blush that started from her ears quickly spread to her cheeks and soon covered her entire face.

Too close.

The scent of cedarwood between their breaths permeated her senses as each inhalation was reminiscent of that familiar woody fragrance. Fresh, mild, just like Lucas.

Their thighs were close, and through the thin layers of fabric, she keenly sensed the warmth emanating from the man.

‘No, this would not do!’ Marion thought to herself.

She pursed her lips and attempted to subtly increase the distance between them.

However, as her hand rested on the edge of the sofa, the smooth leather surface caused her palm to slip.

Marion tried to stand up, but her balance wavered, and she ended up sitting on the cushion at her feet. In a slight forward tilt, her head bumped against Lucas’s thigh.

She swore she just wanted to move a little to create some space between them.

She had no other intentions! Marion lifted her head in frustration and accidentally met those black

eyes.

She bit her lip and swallowed nervously. “I… I lost my balance when I stood up.”
