The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce) novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45 Please Let Me Explain 

The unexpected turn of events plunged the atmosphere into an unprecedented awkwardness. Despite seeing all sorts of situations in her life, Marion was sure that she had never experienced such 

embarrassment before! 

She blushed, then propped herself up on the bed. “I’m sorry, I wasn’t sitting properly.” 

Lucas looked at her thoughtfully, and in his deep, inscrutable eyes, there was a rare glimpse of his true feelings. “Would you like to take a bath before we continue?” 

Lumina City was already in the midst of summer in June. For the sake of her injured leg, Marion wore skirts every day. Today was no exception. She wore a light chiffon dress that felt comfortable against 

her skin. 

However, chiffon fabric stained with red wine was less comfortable. The chiffon tightly adhered to her chest, revealing the contour of the bra underneath. It was subtly alluring. 

Marion’s face grew even redder. “I’m sorry. I’ll take a bath first.” 

“Your clothes are in the dressing room.” 

Lucas stepped back, creating space for her to leave. Marion quickly got off the bed and hopped on one foot into the dressing room. The dressing room was over twenty square meters in size and contained mostly women’s clothing. 

She chose a dress, and as she turned around to leave, she found that even underwear and lingerie 

were prepared inside the dressing room. 

Marion was momentarily stunned but did not dwell on it too much. Lucas had mentioned her moving in next week, and these things were probably arranged by his secretary. 

Marion re–entered the room. The splint on her shin had not been removed, so it would make bathing quite troublesome. But then to her surprise, there was a shower stool in the bathroom. 

Half an hour later, when Marion emerged from the bathroom, she found Lucas holding her phone. She stiffened, thinking about Cassie’s words. Could he have seen it? 

Marion nervously tried to retrieve her phone, but Lucas held it back. “I didn’t mean to pry. I just happened to see your phone drop on the floor. When I picked it up, I accidentally glimpsed at the messages your friend sent you.” 

He paused. “So, are you really marrying me just to get away from Jameson?” 

“Of course! I know it sounds a bit far–fetched, but it’s genuinely the best solution I could think of!” 

“Is it?” 

He returned the phone to her, lips curled. He chuckled. “I find it a bit hard to believe.” 

As Marion took her phone back, Lucas spoke again. “Maybe you should see what your friend sent you.
