The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 43 Outside Lucas’s House

Marion kept a composed face. She had figured out that Jameson was not giving up. She pursed her lips and looked up at Lucas with a hint of embarrassment. “I probably won't go back tonight.”

Her hand tightened nervously, fearing Lucas might not let her stay over that night. “Moving in early might be a good idea,” he said casually.

He turned off the TV, and the surveillance footage disappeared. Lucas put down the remote control and gazed at Marion. Ina calm and unhurried manner, he added, “I forgot to mention, Mrs. Craig,

our house has only one bedroom.”

Was he joking? Marion found it hard to believe. After a pause, she cautiously asked, “In such a large place, you only have one bedroom?”

“It seems that you don’t quite trust me,” Lucas remarked, as he rose from his seat and walked toward her.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Marion watched him approach. “Wha-what’s happening?”

“Let me take you upstairs for a tour.”

A fresh scent of wood wafted through the air, growing stronger. Marion looked at Lucas as he once again lifted her into his arms. She hesitated to say she did not need to be carried but felt it might

offend him. ‘Well, it was not the first time he’s carried me‘ she thought to herself.

Marion resigned herself to the situation. Lucas carried her upstairs effortlessly. The rooms on the upper floor were concealed behind hidden doors, and Marion had no idea where the bedrooms were.

Lucas first took her to the study, followed by the gym, and finally to the bedroom at the end of the hallway. The bedroom was spacious, featuring not only a bed but also a small living area, a walk-in

closet of about twenty square meters, and a bathroom of about ten square meters.

Once placed on the bed, Marion heard Lucas speak as she settled in. “The basement is the entertainment area, and the floor below has the wine cellar.”

The villa was expansive, with well-designed and generously sized functional areas. Despite being a

four-story villa with only one bedroom, after touring the rooms on the second floor, Marion felt it might not be as difficult to accept as she initially thought. The division of space was reasonable, and each room seemed just right.

Lucas did not interrupt her thoughts. “I’m going to take a shower,” he said then entered the bathroom, leaving Marion alone on the bed.

The bed was quite large.

Marion pinched herself and glanced towards the bathroom. She could feel the heat rise to her face. Chapter 43 Outside Lucas’s House

Big bed or not, as a ‘fake couple’ they could not share a bed!

Marion raised her hand to cover her face, trying to calm herself down.

She decided that the situation was easily resolved. Later, when Lucas came out, she would have an honest conversation with him.

Marion believed he was a smart person who could not possibly be oblivious to why she insisted on getting married in the first place.

She did use Lucas, that’s true. Although her marriage with Lucas was not something she could break off in the short term, she was not just trying to provoke Jameson.

She was more focused on completely getting rid of him. Whether one labeled her as despicable or shameless, she indeed needed assistance. So bluntly speaking, she was using Lucas.

While contemplating this, her phone suddenly lit up with a message from Cassie.

Cassie: [Marion, | heard that that scum Jameson went to your place to confront you?] | saw a video of it.] Then Cassie sent the video attachment.

Marion watched the video Cassie sent. She was speechless. Someone had filmed Jameson shouting for her to come down to her home villa.

He’s not here anymore.]

(Oh, that’s good.]

He’s outside Lucas’s house.]

Cassie was shocked.

(Why is he at Lucas’s place? Is he looking for a fight? How do you know that Jameson is outside Lucas’s house?]

Marion sighed. Cassie was perceptive. She replied: [Because I’m at Lucas’s house.]

[Are you serious?] Cassie could not believe it! Enjoy Ad-Free Reading>>
