The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 416 Can I Get a Hug?
As soon as the words left Marion's lips, she regretted them.
Why had he not slept well?
Why had he suddenly rushed back? Was it all because she had been stopped by
someone while driving last night?
Marion bit her lip, feeling guilty as she averted her gaze to avoid his eyes. She
feigned ignorance, saying, “The hotel bed wasn't comfortable, was it?"
Lucas stared at her intently. After a couple of seconds, he spoke slowly, “Indeed,
it's not as comfortable as the one at home.”
Then he cast a meaningful glance at the large bed in front of them. Marion
caught his implication and her ears turned red instantly.
She came up with a rather lame excuse, though it was genuine, “I-I'm hungry!
I'm going downstairs
to eat!”
She hastily got up from her chair, walked past Lucas, and headed straight out of
the room.
Lucas turned his head and watched Marion leave, his dark eyes flickering as a
faint smile played on his lips. The sunlight fell perfectly on him, softening his
usual features.
If Daniel saw him now, he would recognize Lucas!
Feeling guilty, Marion hurried downstairs. Hearing her footsteps, Mrs. Bailey
emerged from the kitchen and asked, “Ma’am, Mr. Craig asked me to cook
noodles for you. Do you want to eat them now?”
*
Marion glanced at Mrs. Bailey and nodded, “Yes, please.”
“I'll bring it out!”
Then she disappeared into the kitchen and soon returned with a bowl of egg
noodles.
“Thank you, Mrs. Bailey!”
Marion barely picked up her spoon just as Lucas walked into the dining room. He
sat directly across from her, and noticing his arrival, Mrs. Bailey promptly brought
out a second bowl for him.
“Thank you,” Lucas said, picking up his fork. Instead of diving in, he watched
Marion closely.
“Go ahead, eat.”
Marion's ears turned completely red. She lowered her head and took a bite of her
noodles.
Lucas glanced at her reddened ears but did not tease her further. He lowered his
head and began to eat
his noodles.

Marion ate slowly, and by the time Lucas finished his meal, she had only eaten a
third of hers.
His phone rang, and he got up to answer it in the living room.
As the noodles cooled, Marion picked up her pace.
She finished her meal, called out to Mrs. Bailey for some water, drank half a cup,
and then went out to
find Lucas.

Her gentle and sweet tugged at him, pulling his heartstrings. He looked at
Marion, “Yes.*
Before he could say anything else, Marion reached out and hugged him tightly.
She wrapped her arms around his slender waist and rested her head against his
abdomen.
Lucas gently cradled the back of her head, stroking it from top to bottom.
Then, in the next moment, his hand moved down to her waist as he lifted her into
his arms.
