The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce) novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171 Stay Focused, Marion!

“I understand.” Lucas looked deep into her eyes, “Wait a moment, I’ll have someone bring it over.”

As soon as Lucas finished speaking, Marion’s face turned red. She nervously nodded, “Oh, thank you.”

She was sure that there was no one more embarrassed than her that evening.

Marion closed the door quietly. Every event that happened that night felt like a dream, with nothing going according to her expectations.

When Marion reopened the bathroom door ten minutes later. The dress provided by the Hilton family

was a black mini dress with the hem just above the knees.

Time was limited, so Marion only slightly blew-dried her hair. Although her makeup had not

completely worn off, it had faded considerably.

Lucas had already stood up from the sofa. “Let’s go back.”

“Huh? Just leave like this?”

Was that not rude?

“Yeah.”

Lucas did not need to ponder his decision. He led her out of the room and took the elevator to the ground floor.

Liam was waiting at the hotel entrance with the car ready. Seeing the two coming out of the lobby, Liam opened the back door.

Marion bent down and got into the car quickly. Soon, Lucas sat down beside her.

The car started moving, and thinking about the events of the past half-hour, Marion could not help but look at Lucas beside her. “Can I ask you a question?”

He raised an eyebrow as he nodded.

“Did Alice seem a bit odd to you?” Marion said, pointing to her own head.

Who would have done what Alice did?

Lucas glanced at her, “Next time, just ignore her.”

“Okay.”

Lucas glanced at her but did not instruct the driver to turn the air conditioning back on.

The car window slowly rolled down, allowing the night breeze to drift in, carrying the warm touch of

summer.

Marion lowered her head and gazed at her hand, which Lucas had just held, and her ears gradually

turned red.

The small gestures he made were always so alluring.

Unfortunately, they were not a real couple.

Marion sighed regretfully and turned her head to look at the colorful lights outside the window.

Realizing her thoughts, Marion quickly pinched her thigh.

‘Stay focused, Marion! Can you really handle a man like Lucas?’ She asked herself.
