The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 387 I Don’t Want Others To Look At You

Lucas lowered his head and looked at her with a smile that was hard to read. “Do you believe it, Mrs.

Craig?”

Marion felt awkward. “I think it’s not about what I believe…”

Did she think it was true if she believed it and false if she did not?

“Don’t read so much.

“I haven’t read a lot.”

Marion felt unfairly accused. Most of her time was spent practicing the piano, and she would exercise during her leisure time. Where was the time for her to read?

However, Lucas did not continue the topic. “Let’s take a nap. We’re leaving at five.”

“Where are we going?”

“For dinner.”

“Oh, okay.”

Right, he had given Ronda the day off.

Marion yawned, about to get off him to take a nap, when Lucas lifted her from the couch.

Instinctively hooking her arms around his neck, she looked at him teary–eyed. “I can walk up myself.”

“Don’t you like it when I hold you, Mrs. Craig?”

She blinked, afraid to say no, so she nodded, “Okay.“”

She liked him holding her, but not like that! That seemed too intimate!

Fortunately, the distance to the bedroom was not far.

Marion was soon placed on the bench behind the bed. Holding onto one side, she got up, putting on her slippers to go to the closet to get her pajamas.

The afternoon sun was shining brightly, illuminating the entire master bedroom.

She changed into her clothes and came out just as Lucas was about to close the curtains with the

remote control.

Marion lifted the thin blanket onto the bed, lay down, and looked at him. “Aren’t you going to sleep?”

Lucas turned to look at her, a playful glint dancing in his dark eyes. “Are you inviting me to join you?”

The words sounded innocent, but he paused before adding, “For a nap.”

Marion blushed at his tease, turned to the side, and closed her eyes. “I’m sleeping!”

However, deep down, she cursed, ‘Darn him!‘

Lucas looked at the person under the covers and chuckled softly.

Marion was indeed tired. Coupled with the dim room, her eyes closed, and she drifted off Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

unknowingly,

When she woke up, it was already past three o’clock. She then rubbed her face and decided to practice the piano.

Lucas was not in the room, but as she passed by the study, she saw that the door was open. Knowing he was inside, she did not disturb him and went straight to the music room.

After an hour of practice, Marion returned to her room to do her makeup. She chose a bright yellow floral strap dress and a white cardigan, with plans to wear flat sandals.

As Marion looked in the mirror, Lucas walked in through the door.

She felt a little shy. “I’m ready.”

Lucas’s gaze fell on the hair that was curling by her cheek. “Well, let’s go.”

Instead of walking out, Marion spun in place. “Um… Is this dress not good?”

She originally wanted to ask if she looked good today but changed it to a more humble question. Lucas looked at her with a smile. “The dress is beautiful, but you look even more beautiful.”

She huffed, avoiding his gaze as she walked past him contentedly and took his hand. “Let’s go!”

Lucas turned his head to look at her, his voice slightly husky. “Such a beautiful Mrs. Craig, can’t bear to let others see her.”
