The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 426 I Got Distracted
Marion blinked and hurried over, her gaze falling on the neckline in front of
him and then down. “Do you need help with your tie?”
Lucas raised an eyebrow slightly and lifted the hand with the tie, smiling at
her. “Well, thank you, Mrs. Craig.”
Marion felt awkward as she took the tie from his hand. She had always
thought Lucas was tall, but she had not felt it until she was standing in
front of him with the tie in her hand now.
She stood at 5’6“, which was considered not tall but not short either, yet
she still had to tiptoe to properly tie Lucas’s tie.
That was the second time she had helped Lucas with his tie. The last time,
she had been so nervous that she tied it too loosely, and it looked messy.
She wanted to adjust it, but she was too shy. With the scent of wood
lingering, her hands were trembling, so she had to give up.
Now that they were more familiar with each other, although she was still a
little shy, Marion’s performance was much better than the last time. She
neatly tied the tie and even reached out to straighten his shirt collar before
she was done.
As she stepped back, her index finger accidentally brushed against the
man’s neck. Marion’s pinky trembled, and she quickly withdrew her hand.
“All set.”
She curled her pinky, feeling her face heating up.
“Thank you, Mrs. Craig.”
Lucas smirked and looked at her teasingly.
Feeling embarrassed, Marion said, “You should head to work now.”
He chuckled and did not tease her further. “Alright.”
With that, Lucas took one last glance at her again and then turned to leave
through the front door.
Marion subconsciously took a couple of steps after him. At the door, she watched
as he disappear around the corner of the garden before finally tearing her gaze
away and walking back into the villa.
Just as she took a few steps back, Marion noticed Ronda standing in the living
room, looking at her.
“Madam, are you ready for breakfast now?”
Marion touched her still-warm cheeks and nodded. “Yes, I'm ready. Could you
prepare some porridge, Ronda?”
“Of course, Madam. I'll go get it ready for you.”
Ronda smiled and turned to head toward the kitchen.

Lucas was noticeably busier since September started, and Marion did not want to
procrastinate anymore. She had Miley book some commercial performances for
her.
There were less than two weeks left until the jet ski race in Lester City that Amber
had mentioned. Marion had not paid much attention to it, but someone kept
reminding her.
While discussing overseas commercial performances with Miley on the
phone, Marion received a sudden text message. At first, she thought it was
spam and instinctively tried to swipe it away. However, as she did, she
caught sight of the name “Prince,” and it made her frown.

Even without a signature, Marion could tell who had sent the message.
She pursed her lips, unable to focus on what Miley was saying on the other
end of the line.
Miley clearly noticed her distraction: After half a minute of talking without
getting a response from Marion, she stopped. “Mar?”
Hearing Miley calling her, Marion snapped out of her thoughts. “I'm
listening. Sorry, I got distracted. Could you repeat that, Miley?”
Despite being on the phone, Miley could sense something was off. “Are
you okay, Mar?”
