The Bride s Revenge ( Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce ) Chapter 117
Chapter 117 Are You Coming?
Cassie proved unreliable, and Marion was not adept at comforting others.
She had few close friends throughout her life, and since Cassie’s coping style was different, Marion found it challenging to navigate her feelings.
With Cassie out of the picture, Marion turned to the ever–resourceful online community.
Clutching her phone, Marion spent over half an hour browsing various forums and chat rooms, before finally stumbling upon some advice in a highly praised post.
After careful consideration, she concluded that diverting Lucas’s attention would be the most reliable approach.
Coincidentally, Lucas had not eaten anything the entire evening. Marion decided to prepare a meal for him to soothe not only his stomach but also his troubled emotions–two birds with one stone.
With that plan in mind, Marion quickly got up and headed downstairs to cook noodles. Why noodles? She could not manage anything more complicated!
Cooking noodles did not take much time, and in about ten minutes, Marion emerged from the kitchen with a bowl of fragrant noodles.
The villa was so vast that she almost got lost on her way out of the kitchen.
After taking a detour, she finally reached Lucas’s room with the freshly cooked noodles in her hands.
Just before knocking, she hesitated for a moment. In that brief pause, Marion heard a sound as if
something had fallen inside the room.
The room had excellent soundproofing, and she could not make out the details, only a vague sense of disturbance. It was sad to think of someone silently nursing their grievances.
Sighing, Marion lifted her hand to knock, but the door opened on its own.
Lucas appeared before her. He was in a loose robe, and his hair was wet from his shower.
Lucas immediately noticed the bowl of noodles on the tray in her hands. His dark eyes flickered, “Are you looking for me?”
Having just taken a shower, Lucas’s overpowering presence seemed more imposing. It made Marion
nervous.
“I cooked some noodles. Would you like to try some?” she stammered.
“Thank you, I happen to be hungry.” Lucas reached out and took the tray from her hands. He turned and went back into his room.
Standing at the door, Marion hesitated about whether to go inside. Lucas, who had walked to the sofa, looked up at her and said, “Not coming in?”

2/2
After a moment of hesitation, Marion entered the room.
Once seated, she began to regret her decision.
Alone in the room on a quiet night, the situation had an indescribable hint of sensuality.‘
Moreover, Lucas had just showered. He was in a slack bathrobe with a wide neckline, and the belt
around his waist was loosely tied.
Of course, it was not Lucas’s fault.
‘After all, when someone takes a shower, they want to be comfortable at home, right?‘ Marion thought to herself.
She dared not glance around and her face was burning.
Lucas was unperturbed and had not started eating yet. He casually leaned back on the sofa and looked at her. “You have a charity performance on Saturday, right?”
Marion had almost forgotten about it until Lucas brought it up. She nodded, “Yes.”
“What time, exactly?”
Marion blinked, “Around ten in the morning.”
Did she misinterpret things? Could it be that Lucas was coming over? The thought had just occurred when, in the next second, Marion heard Lucas say, “Hmm.”
He did not say anything more.
Uncertain about his thoughts and afraid of misunderstanding him, Marion hesitated for a moment. Finally, she asked, “Are you coming?”
If he was, she needed to ask Miley to reserve a ticket for him.
Lucas looked at her and his lips moved slightly, but at that moment, the phone on the table vibrated.
“Take the call.”
Lucas glanced at the caller ID, picked up the phone, and answered it.
