The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 389 What Are You Going To Show Me?

Lucas looked at her outstretched hand, and his dark eyes flickered as he reached out to hold it.

It was just after six in the evening, and the sun was setting in the west, casting a beautiful golden hue over the beach. In the far distance, the sun resembled a giant yolk, slowly descending below the

horizon.

As the sky darkened, the number of people playing by the beach dwindled. Most of those remaining were couples like them, walking hand in hand by the shore.

Marion suddenly stopped in her tracks while walking.

It made Lucas think something was wrong. “What’s wrong?”

She shook her head and looked at him. “I want to take off my shoes and feel the sand.

She and Cassie loved walking barefoot on the fine sand, which felt exceptionally comfortable. However, she felt embarrassed to take off her shoes next to Lucas.

“Go ahead,” he said before bending down in front of her.

Marion hesitated for a moment before quickly waving her hand. “I–Lcan do it myself!”

How could she let Lucas take off her shoes for her?

“Raise your right leg, Mrs. Craig.”

Lucas showed his determination through action, holding her ankle with one hand while his other hand rested on the buckle of her shoe.

Marion had no choice but to hold onto his shoulder and gently lift her right leg.

“Left leg.”

As told, she lifted her left leg.

As Lucas took off her shoes, Marion instinctively bent down to pick up her shoes. However, he had picked them up with his right hand while his left hand held hers again.

Marion looked at her shoes in his hand, her face flushed. “I can hold them myself.”

She thought it was a waste for Lucas, whose hands had signed billion–dollar project contracts, to hold

her shoes.

Nevertheless, he tilted his head to look at her. “What? I’m not qualified?” *

She pouted with embarrassment. “No.”

At first, Marion was a little embarrassed, but as they walked a few more steps ahead, a couple passed them by. The girl was walking ahead, while the guy carried her shoes and followed closely behind.

She glanced at them and then at Lucas, suddenly feeling relieved.

It seemed it was not such a big deal after all!

Lucas looked at her with a smirk. “See that?”

Marion nodded. “I do.”

Feeling loved, she tried to dip her feet in the seawater, but Lucas pulled her back. “Don’t The tide’s coming in.‘

Marion understood and obediently walked back.

too far.

The two of them walked along the beach until it was completely dark, and there were fewer people by

the shore.

Marion glanced at Lucas. “Shall we head back?”

Lucas looked at her without answering her question. “Come here, Mrs. Craig.”

As he led her forward, Marion got curious. “Where are we going, Lucas?”

However, all he did was lead her forward, and Marion followed.

After about five minutes, Lucas stopped. He let go of her hand and looked at her. “Do you like the sea?

Marion nodded. “Yes, I do. What are you going to show me?”

The sea breeze tousled her hair, and she brushed the strands away from her lips. The next moment, she saw Lucas pull out a lighter.

“Are you going to smoke?” She was puzzled because Lucas did not seem like a smoker to her.

Lucas simply smiled without answering. He lit the lighter and tossed it onto the ground.

With a “whoosh“, the sand ignited.
