The Bride s Revenge ( Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce ) Chapter 357

Chapter 357 Aren’t You Going To Pick It Up? 

Marion’s heart raced as she hurriedly covered the box and placed it behind her. By the time she hid the box, Lucas was already in front of her, 

Lucas’s gaze swept over her hastily withdrawn hand and slowly moved to her face. He looked at her with a hint of amusement in his eyes. “So what did Cassie send you?” 

Marion was terrified that Lucas might notice the sexy lingerie. “Oh, it’s nothing, just some clothes.” 

“Is that so?” He walked over to the island, poured a glass of water, took a sip, and then looked back at her. “Have I upset Cassie somehow?” 

Confused, Marion looked at him, “No.” 

‘Does Cassie have any reason to be displeased with Lucas?‘ Marion wondered to herself. 

Lucas set the glass down, glanced at the remnants of the unpacked package on the table, and 

remarked, “Well if she sent you clothes, wouldn’t that imply that I’m not doing a good enough job in taking care of you?” 

“What?” Marion asked. 

Lucas’s interpretation was top–notch sarcasm. 

Marion watched him approach her and she hastily took a seat. 

However, the box she had casually covered fell onto the floor. Marion instinctively glanced to the side and saw the black lace fabric spill out of the box. 

Marion sucked in a breath, and before Lucas could bend down to pick it up, she leaned over the box and dove into his arms, tightly embracing his waist. As she looked up at him, she changed the subject, “What do you want to eat tonight?” 

With one hand holding her waist, Lucas looked into her eyes. “You can have whatever you want.

“But you’ve dropped Cassie’s gift. Aren’t you going to pick it up?” 

Marion stiffened. “I’m thirsty. Can you pour me a glass of water?” 

“Sure.” He said as he raised an eyebrow and leaned down to whisper into her ear, “So… Mrs. Craig, 

care to try on the clothes Cassie bought for you? Show me, won’t you?” 

Marion’s heart skipped a beat. “You–You pour me some water first!” 

“Okay.” He released his grip and then turned back to the island to get her some water. 

While watching him, Marion crouched down to neatly stuff the lace fabric back into the box. 

Why did Cassie have to send something so inappropriate? 

Lucas returned with a cup of water, his gaze resting on her knowingly.

Marion took the cup and sipped her water while keeping an eye on him, fearing he might reach out and open the box. 

After a moment, she handed him the cup, swiftly grabbed the box behind her, and stood up. “I’ll go upstairs to change!” 

Just as she took a step, her right leg tangled in the ribbon of the opened box and she stumbled forward. Lucas, quick to react, reached out and caught her. 

The sophisticated gift box was slippery, and Marion could not hold onto it with one hand. Just as she settled back onto his lap, the box flew out of her hand and landed near Lucas’s feet. 

Upon impact, the lid popped open, revealing the two black lace fabrics. 

Marion was too stunned to speak. 

If she pretended to faint, would Lucas refrain from looking at it?

“Did you hurt yourself?” Lucas asked. 

Marion turned her gaze away and shook her head, “No, I didn’t hurt myself.” 

Her ears were red. 

She glanced at him briefly and then averted her eyes. “Leave it. Cassie’s office is running a 

promotional campaign for a lingerie line. They sent them to all the women, and she… she just sent it to me!” 

To shield Cassie and ease her own embarrassment, Marion quickly made something up. 

Lucas picked it up, “Well, it looks good.” 

He studied it carefully. 

Marion was puzzled. What was so good about the worn–out piece of clothing? 

“It would look even better if you wore it.” 

Marion glared at him, “Why do you always think about such things?” 

Lucas leaned back and looked at her with a smirk, “What kind of things do I think about?”  Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She blushed then gently pounded his chest. “You’re pretending you don’t know!” 

He caught her fist in his hand. “I’m not pretending. I really don’t know what you mean. Please, enlighten me.” 

“Ugh, you’re so annoying!” 

Seeing her embarrassment, he chuckled softly, “You clearly said you liked it yesterday.” 

How could Lucas take advantage of her like that? 

Since he had seen the lingerie, Marion decided to be bold. 

She muttered to herself, picked up the box cover, and before going upstairs, she threw him a look and said, “I won’t wear it!” 

Lucas sat on the sofa as he watched her hurry away. His eyes softened instantly. 

Marion had intended to change and go out with him. But when she reached the stairs, she suddenly remembered something, “Lucas, who are we having dinner with tonight?” 

Would she need to put on her makeup? 

“Just us.” 

“Okay, I’ll go change!” Although there was no one else, Marion decided that she still wanted to do her makeup.
