The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce) novel Chapter 288

Chapter 288 You Weren’t at Home 

“Alright.” 

Lucas acknowledged and then suppressed the smile in his eyes. He glanced at Cassie and said, “Miss 

Cassie, I appreciate your help today.” 

Cassie was speechless. 

‘Marion’s my best friend! 

‘How did I cause trouble for her? 

Of course, Cassie did not dare to say that to Lucas. 

She looked at Marion and said, “It’s no trouble. Marion used to come to my place often. 

Marion felt that Cassie was truly her best friend in the world! Even at that moment, Cassie had discreetly covered up for her. 

“If you have time another day, come over to our place, and we’ll treat you well,” Lucas told Cassie.. 

“Sure, Mr. Craig.” 

After the pleasantries, Lucas held Marion’s hand and turned to leave. 

Watching the two figures holding hands, Cassie suddenly felt like she was the one with grievances. 

Once in the car, Marion realized that Lucas had driven himself. 

She became increasingly nervous when fastening her seatbelt, failing to connect it properly several 

times. 

Lucas reached over and helped her, and when he looked up, his gaze lingered on her face for a moment. “Tired?” 

At that moment, Marion mentally prepared for his rapid change of mood and possible accusations. 

However, when he asked, “Are you tired?” Marion was momentarily confused. 

She blinked her eyes. “Uh, not… not really.” 

“Then, how about having supper with me?” 

Turning the steering wheel, Lucas added before she could respond, “You weren’t at home so I didn’t have any appetite for dinner. Now I’m a bit hungry.” 

Marion’s heart beat faster. Her resolve was beginning to falter. 

“Sure, let’s go.” She was ashamed of her lack of resistance, pursed her lips, and added, “I’m a bit hungry too.” 

Lucas looked at her with a half–smile. “Hmm.”

Marion felt like he had seen through her. She turned her gaze to the window. 

Ah, was Lawas teasing her? Marion wondered to herself. 

Laicas drove steadily, and Marion quickly regretted her words. 

She was tired. 

Cassie’s talk of branded names had made them both fall prey to their materialistic needs, 

Cassie diligently worked for a year and only earned around three hundred thousand dollars. A plain and ordinary branded chain bag costs more than two hundred thousand dollars. 

They could have just robbed someone, but instead, they worked hard for the bag. 

While complaining, Cassie continued shopping enthusiastically. 

By the time they returned to the apartment, their pedometer count showed that they had walked for more than forty thousand steps. How could they not be tired? 

The air conditioning in the car made it cool and comfortable. Marion looked at the blurry scenes outside the window, her gaze gradually becoming unfocused. In less than two minutes, she fell asleep. 

They happened to be at a red light, so Lucas slowly stopped the car.
