The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce) novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231 I Did Something Foolish 

Marion spent the entire afternoon diligently practicing in the piano room. After finishing the last piece, her fingers felt sore. 

Holding her phone, she hesitated to open it. 

However, because the unread messages were piling up, she reluctantly placed the phone on the desk, massaged her fingers, and then opened the chat. 

Miley: [How’s your leg recovering? Are you ready to perform? Iannis from overseas has invited you to play for a concert.] 

Cassie: [How’s it going? Did Alice contact you today?] 

Sure enough, below Cassie’s message was Alice’s message to Marion. 

Alice: [Are you mad? I’m sorry, but can you make it clear why you dislike me?] 

Alice sent that message at three in the morning. Marion did not want to reply, but her cursed soft heart gave in! 

After contemplating for a moment, Marion sent a tactful reply. [I’m not angry, and I don’t dislike you. It’s just… I’m sorry. I’m straight.] 

Marion suspected Alice was eagerly waiting for her response. One second after Marion sent the message, Alice replied. [Marion, you finally replied! It’s okay. I like straight girls too! Straight girls are cute, too.] 

Marion could not tell if Alice did not understand her or if she had a peculiar taste. 

Just as Marion was about to make things clear, she heard a sound from the entrance. 

Marion instinctively looked up to see Lucas, dressed in a suit, walking in. 

He bent down to change into his house slippers and reached to untie his tie before grabbing a glass of water and unbuttoning the top two buttons of his shirt. 

Marion watched as his Adam’s apple moved while he drank, and her face flushed red again. 

She guiltily averted her gaze and vigorously rubbed her fingers on the right hand. “You’re back.” 

“Yeah.” 

The man responded indifferently, his gaze landing on her hand. “Is it hurting?” “I practiced the piano for too long.” 

Chapter 21 | End Something Faci 

She was used to it. 

She had had synovitis in her wrist for several years now, on and off. It never fully recovered. 

Lucas placed down the glass, looked at her, and asked, “Do you still feel uncomfortable?” 

Marion stiffened for a moment, recalling her actions from the previous night. Her face turned red. “I’m fine now. I’m sorry, Mr. Craig, for offending you again.” 

The man remained silent. All he did was lower his head to look at her. 

Embarrassed by his gaze, Marion looked down at her phone to see that Alice had sent a bunch of messages. 

Startled, she quickly clarified. [No, what I mean is, I’m into guys, and I don’t feel the same way! I think I should clarify this sooner so that you can move on!] 

Although she had no idea why Alice liked her so much, she understood the pain of liking someone you could never have. 

She had experienced that pain for over a decade, and now that she was out of it, she did not want Alice to go through the same suffering. 

Alice swiftly replied: [Oh, I think you might have misunderstood me! My liking for you is admiration, respect, and gratitude, not romantic love. I’m into guys, too! Hahaha, you’re so cute!] 

Marion, upon seeing Alice’s response, felt numb. 

What an embarrassing misunderstanding! 

She could not help but cover her face with her hand.
