The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce) novel Chapter 347

Chapter 347 What’s Not to Like? 

“I’m not!” Marion exclaimed. 

Blame it on Cassic. She had texted, [It’s your first time, so it’s normal to be nervous. Just light some scented candles, dim the lights, set a romantic atmosphere, and everything will fall into place.] 

Marion quickly denied it. 

Thinking about Lucas seeing Cassie’s message earlier, Marion was afraid he would steer the conversation in that direction again. Subconsciously, she sat up straight, intending to focus on the movie. “Let’s watch the movie,” she said. 

Lucas leaned back on the sofa behind him, nonchalantly responding, “Sure.” 

The movie was a serious suspense thriller, but the suspense seemed a bit intense. 

About twenty–five minutes into the film, the female and male lead suddenly started kissing passionately. 

The surround sound was exceptional. With 360–degree stereo, it filled the room with the sounds of their kisses and hurried breathing. 

Marion instinctively gripped the sofa beneath her, too embarrassed to move. 

She had not seen this movie before. She thought the deep kiss would be the end of it, but to her surprise, the leads seemed like wildfire, shedding clothes as they kissed. 

Marion’s face felt like it was on fire, burning with embarrassment. 

Could they stop watching? 

Suddenly, Lucas shifted beside her, making Marion inexplicably nervous. Her breathing started to match the rhythm of the movie. 

Just as she was hesitating whether to make an excuse not to watch, she felt a warmth and her 

waist. 

Marion instinctively glanced down. The next moment, his arm wrapped around her waist. 

The scent of cedarwood enveloped her, causing her already rapid breathing to become even more 

erratic. 

The couple on the screen ahead was doing something unspeakable. Though the scene was artistically rendered, the sounds were suggestive enough. 

Marion felt extremely embarrassed, her eyelashes fluttering. “Wh–what’s going on?” 

She glanced up and noticed that Lucas had unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt at some point, revealing his collarbone. 

Marion swallowed hard, her hand beneath her involuntarily gripping the sofa.

To her surprise, the leather sofa could not bear the strain, Suddenly, there was a “crack,” making Marion’s scalp tingle. 

Lucas looked at her, lips slightly curved, his dark eyes tinged with amusement. “I just want to hug you,” he said. 

Marion bit her lip, about to speak, when she felt two taps on her waist. She shivered all over. 

‘Stay calm, stay calm! It’s just a hug, not a kiss!‘ 

As she reassured herself, a deep voice sounded in her ear, “Of course, I also want to kiss you.” 

Hearing this, Marion, already embarrassed, stiffened even more. “Th–this movie isn’t good,” she 

blurted. 

“What’s not good about it?” Lucas chuckled, his teasing evident in his eyes. 

Marion’s face was already red. She glanced at the screen in front to find that the main characters had finished and were lying there watching the stars. 

“The pacing is too slow.” She steadied her thoughts, pretending to be composed as she offered a 

reason.
