The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce) novel Chapter 331

Chapter 331 He Was Waiting For Her To Act 

Marion did not sleep well that night as she was plagued by vivid dreams throughout. 

When she woke up the next day, sunlight streamed through the undrawn floor–to–ceiling windows, leaving her sitting there, bewildered. She could not quite discern if last night was a dream or if those events really happened. 

Last night, she had expressed her feelings to Lucas, and he did not seem to refuse. He even said he 

liked her… 

Was it true, or was it just her imagination running wild? 

Oh, and they kissed several times, but it really did feel like a dream! 

Marion stared blankly for a moment before freshening up. 

The morning seemed no different from any other. Just as she descended the stairs, Lucas emerged from a swim, their paths crossing at the foot of the staircase. 

However, the memory of last night made Marion blush uncontrollably. 

She could not even bring herself to look at Lucas as she hastily uttered, “Good morning.” 

Then, she darted off to the dining area. 

Lucas raised an eyebrow, heading upstairs to change before returning in a fresh outfit. He inquired, ” Did you sleep well last night?” 

Marion was sipping her tea when she heard him, causing her to choke guiltily. 

He sat beside her, his hand grazing her back gently as he said, “Take it easy.” 

Marion, already shy by nature, coughed even harder at his touch. Sensing her discomfort, Lucas withdrew his hand, moved the breakfast in front of him, and started eating. 

After a bout of coughing, Marion regained her composure and glanced at him. 

“I’m fine,” she said, feeling guilty for lying. 

Observing her reddening ears, Lucas smiled subtly. 

“Do you have any plans for today?” he asked, knowing it was another promising weekend ahead. 

Marion awkwardly replied, “Not really.” 

“I see.” Lucas nodded without further comment. 

After breakfast, Marion made an excuse about practicing piano, hastily abandoning her cup and fleeing. 

However, instead of heading to the piano room, she retreated to her own, locking the door behind her. She put her hand over her rapidly beating heart, gazing absentmindedly at the ceiling.

When the knock on the door came, Marion’s heart skipped a beat. She took a deep breath, struggling to steady her emotions, and raised her hand to open the door. 

“What’s wrong?” she asked, her voice shaky. 

“Do you remember what happened last night?” Lucas inquired. 

Marion’s face flushed red as she stuttered, “I–I do,” 

“Is that so?” He chuckled softly, and his gaze fell upon her quivering eyelashes. “I thought you didn’t want to own up to it, Mrs. Craig,” 

“How could you think that? I’m not that kind of person!” Marion protested, her embarrassment evident as she glanced up at his smiling dark eyes, quietly pleading her case. 

“It’s hard to say. After all, it won’t be your first time pulling off such antics,” he remarked casually. 

Marion was puzzled by his statement. When had she ever done something so outrageous?
