The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 424 I'll Keep You Company for a While
Marion had never felt a man’s desire so directly before.
She was stiff all over and did not dare to move.
The room was so quiet that they could hear each other’s breathing, and the
distinct woody scent that engulfed her was a constant reminder of the
situation she was in.
After what felt like an eternity, Marion started to feel a bit numb in her
hands.
Slowly lifting her head, she noticed that Lucas had his eyes closed,
seemingly asleep.
After waiting for a moment, she confirmed that he was indeed asleep.
She breathed a sigh of relief and carefully pulled herself out of Lucas’s
embrace.
Knowing he was a light sleeper, she did not want to risk waking him up.
Once free of his embrace, she lay still for a while before daring to adjust
her sleeping position.
Just as she settled herself, she felt a hand grasp her waist.
Marion stiffened. “Did I wake you up?” she asked, but there was no
response.
Lucas was still asleep.
Marion felt awkward and glanced in the direction of the dressing table.
She yawned and felt sleepy herself. She had slept late the night before, and
although she had only just woken up, she was already feeling drowsy again.
When she woke up again, the room was dim, and Lucas was no longer in bed
beside her.
Marion felt the warmth of the sheets beside her and knew Lucas had only just
gotten up.
She smiled and sat up, then reached for her phone before heading downstairs.
Mrs. Bailey had prepared afternoon tea, and upon seeing Marion, asked with a
smile if she wanted something to eat.
It was already past three, and the breakfast she had eaten over two hours ago
had long been digested. Marion nodded and replied, “Yes, please.”
“Please wait a moment, ma'am. I'll bring it to you right away.”
“No rush, Mrs. Bailey.”
Marion had just taken a sip of water when Mrs. Bailey returned with a slice of
cake and a cup of milk
tea.
“Thank you, Mrs. Bailey,” Marion said.

She had not eaten yet, and it had been almost ten minutes since she woke up,
but there was still no sign of Lucas.
September in Lumina City was hot, especially in the afternoons. Could Lucas be
by the pool in this heat?
Marion took a bite of cake and headed straight for the pool.
The bright sunlight illuminated the pool, making the water sparkle, but there was
no one in sight, neither in the pool nor in the lounge area.
Marjon raised an eyebrow and decided not to search any further.
Mr. Craig was probably busy dealing with work matters at the moment.
Meanwhile, in the study, Lucas was sitting in front of the computer, browsing
through the documents Daniel had just sent over.
However, they were not company files but rather the information on Nixon
Carpenter, the man who had stopped Marion's the night before.
After he finished reading the documents, he shut down the computer, got up, and
left the study.
He made his way to the master bedroom.
Having finished her cake, Marion was going upstairs to the music room to
practice the piano when
she bumped into Lucas.

“Practicing the piano?”
“Yes. Mrs. Bailey made some afternoon tea. Would you like some? There's
cake and pizza.“
Lucas shook his head. “I'll keep you company for a while.”
“Great!” Marion's voice rose at the end due to her excitement.
“Why are you so happy?” Lucas clicked his tongue lightly.
Before she could respond, his phone rang.

Marion glanced at the caller ID, which displayed Daniel's name, and
tactfully said, “You go ahead and attend to your call. I'll head to the music
room!”
Lucas nodded.
As Marion entered the music room, her own phone rang. Seeing the caller
ID, she could not help but pause for a moment.
