The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 110 You're An Exception

“What's the issue?”

Lucas had finished reading the papers, then he raised his head and glanced at Marion.

Marion was puzzled, as she looked at his calm expression. She even started to wonder that she had perhaps made a mistake.

She pointed to the contents on the paper with her hand, “After going through this page, don’t you think it can be summarized in one sentence?”

“Hmm?”

“You dislike women.”

The man’s gaze shifted from her face to her index finger on the paper. “I don’t dislike women.” ‘Who would believe that?‘ Marion silently asked herself.

Outwardly she smiled and pretended not to understand him. “But every point here seems to suggest that, as long as women don’t get close to you, it’s fine.”

“| think you've misunderstood me.”

Lucas stepped back, and his already loose bathrobe instantly opened up, revealing a large expanse of muscles on his chest.

He had eight-pack abs.

Marion quickly looked away and avoided eye contact with Lucas.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

After a while, she reluctantly looked up into his dark

eyes.

Feeling guilty, her face grew even redder. “Is that so? Where is the problem?”

“These rules don’t apply to you, and besides—”

As he spoke, he adjusted his bathrobe.

Seeing his movement, Marion’s face heated up even more, “And besides what?”

She tried hard to find a topic to distract herself.

She was not that lascivious of a person!

Lucas looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

“Aren't you just a woman? You're a woman, and | don’t dislike you. How could | dislike women?” he asked almost lazily.

Marion glanced at the contents of the paper, blinked distractedly, and suddenly came to a realization. “| understand now. You mean | should help you fend off admirers, right?”

“You're Mrs. Craig, so shouldn’t you?” Marion nodded slowly. “Yes, yes.” She was slow to catch on.

“Do you like using perfume?”

The man on the side suddenly asked, Marion was momentarily stunned by the diversion. She glanced at him and shook her head in puzzlement. “Not particularly.”

So, she did not pay much attention to the part in the document that mentioned “dislikes strong perfumes.” “You can use some.”

“What?”

Marion looked at him in confusion.

“The perfumes you use all smell good.”

“Oh, thank you.”

Could it be that she had some strange smell on her?

Why did Lucas want her to use more perfume?

Marion lowered her head and sniffed herself, but could not detect any unpleasant smell.

“What are you thinking?”

Lucas’s nonchalant voice echoed in the room and Marion, still sniffing herself, replied without thinking, “I’m checking if there’s any odor on me.”

“Why?”

“If there’s no odor, why are you suggesting that | use more perfume?”

Then Marion froze.

Did she drink too much wine last night?

Why could her brain not seem to function properly even now?

What kind of statement was that?

Could she really have said something like that?

Lucas was silent as he stared at her.

Marion dared not speak and kept her head down. She unconsciously tapped the tabletop, and her nails made a sharp, ear—piercing sound.

Marion’s hand trembled, “I didn’t mean it.”

Would he believe that?

Lucas looked at the person in front of him as if he could see two rabbit ears drooping down. He withdrew his gaze, stood up, and said, “You're an exception.”

Marion looked up at him and felt her heart suddenly beat fervently.
