The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce) novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239 If You Like Him, Go For It 

“Really?” Lucas pulled out a tissue and wiped his hands. 

That word made Marion’s hand tremble beneath the table. “Y–Yes.” 

Then, she chuckled. “Mr. Craig, go to work. My appetite acts up occasionally.” 

Lucas stared at her for a moment and replied, “Alright.” 

Without pressing further, he got up and left the table. 

After a few steps, he stopped and turned around to look at the visibly relieved Marion. “Thanks for yesterday afternoon.” 

“No need to thank me.” 

Compared to him, she was the one causing trouble. 

After that, Lucas headed back upstairs. 

It did not take long before Marion saw him coming down with his tie done. “Safe travels, Mr. Craig.” 

As Marion waved, Lucas glanced at her and nodded indifferently before leaving. Shortly after, Marion heard the sound of a car engine outside. 

With her lips pursed, she headed upstairs to the piano room. 

Kirk’s concert was just around the corner, and she needed to familiarize herself with the songs. 

It would be embarrassing to bring sheet music to such a grand stage! 

However, her mind was not cooperating. Her eyes were on the sheet music, but her thoughts were elsewhere. 

After the seventh mistake, Marion finally gave up. The influence of that line, telling her not to be deluded, was too powerful! 

She closed the piano lid and lay on it for a moment, feeling the pent–up frustration. Eventually, she reached for her phone. 

It was time to consult Cassie, who was rich in talking experience despite her single status. 

Marion: [I’m frustrated] 

Cassie, who was about to slack off after doing some work, saw Marion’s message and quickly typed. [What’s wrong? This doesn’t quite match the blissful post- marriage life you’re supposed to be living.] 

Marion frowned, finding it difficult to articulate herself. [I’m dealing with a very complicated situation.] 

Cassie: [What situation have you so tangled up? Spit it out, and I’ll help you sort through it!] 

Marion spilled the beans about last night’s dream but deleted it. After hesitating for a moment, she just went for it. [Cassie, do you think Lucas would like someone like me?] 

Cassie, having known Marion for so many years, could tell something was off. [ Are you falling for Lucas?] 

Marion was annoyed that Cassie hit it right on the nail. 

Cassie: [It’s quite normal. I wouldn’t be able to resist either! If you like him, go for it! There’s nothing to be conflicted about. Although your marriage is fake to you, it’s real by law! As long as you’re not divorced, you’re Mrs. Craig! Besides, Lucas isn’t into anyone else. How do you know he wouldn’t like you? With your intelligence, beauty, charm, and talent, Lucas might not be able to resist you. either!] 

Cassie: [Go for it! What’s the big deal? This is your chance. Don’t let it slip away!] 

Marion stared at Cassie’s rapid–fire messages and replied: [I dreamt that Lucas. told me not to be deluded.]
