The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 151 Is It Abnormal for a Husband and Wife to Kiss? Both father and daughter breathed sighs of relief. Richard knew his daughter was doing well, while Marion was no longer worried about her guilty secret being exposed.

After hanging up the phone, Marion thought about her marriage agreement. She reached out to the vanity table, grabbed the agreement, and reread it.

On a second glance, Marion still found something odd. Well, she had signed it, and there was no point in dwelling on it.

Yawning, Marion, feeling incredibly tired. She neatly placed the agreement back and changed into pajamas before heading to bed.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

The situation between Marion and Althea had become quite a sensation online. Even Lucas got involved, prompting Martin and the others, who usually did not follow entertainment gossip, to check Twitter.

After dealing with the matter, Lucas turned his head and noticed the lit screen of his phone on the desk. Messages were pouring into the WhatsApp group, and he picked up his phone when he found himself tagged in the message.

Preston: [@Lucas, are you really this protective now?] Martin: [You haven't had too much to drink, have you, Lucky Luke?] Tobias: [You've revealed your true nature.]

Lucas clicked his tongue, opened the chat, and replied: [You’re not married. You wouldn't understand. It’s Saturday today, and all of you seem quite free.]

As soon as Lucas sent his message, the group attacked him within seconds.

Martin: [We're not married, so we really wouldn’t know how getting married turns someone protective.] Preston: [We're not married, so we really wouldn’t know how getting married turns someone protective.] Tobias: [We’re not married, so we really wouldn’t know how getting married turns someone protective.] Lucas glanced at the messages and could not be bothered to respond. It was just jealousy, after all. Heh.

Marion ended up sleeping longer than expected, and when she woke up, it was already past six in the evening, with the room dimly lit.

She worried for a moment that she might have overslept into the night. Checking her phone, she sighed in relief, realizing she had not missed dinner.

Just as she relaxed, there was a knock on her door. Lucas’s deep voice spoke from outside her door, Dinner.” Marion rolled her eyes, “I know, Mr. Craig.” 11

Patting her cheeks, she quickly changed into another set of clothes. When she opened the door, she expected Lucas to be downstairs, so she was taken aback to find him standing right outside her room.

She thought he had already gone downstairs. To her surprise, Marion could not stop herself in time and accidentally collided with his chin.

It stung. She involuntarily made a hissing sound, but the pain quickly faded.

“Sorry, | thought you went downstairs,” she apologized.

“Did it hurt?” Lucas lowered his head, his large hand cupped the back of her head while his thumb gently rubbed her crown. Marion realized he almost embraced her, and her ears started turning red.

The housekeeper, Mrs. Bailey, who came to call them for dinner, had not expected to see Marion in Lucas’s arms. She called out, “Mr. Craig, dinner is ready,” and Marion quickly extricated herself from Lucas’s embrace as soon as she heard the announcement.

Mrs. Bailey quickly glanced at Lucas.

His expression remained indifferent, but there was a subtle furrow of his brows, revealing his clear displeasure at being interrupted. Mrs. Bailey became uneasy, offered a random excuse, and hurried

away. ‘It's not what you think, Mrs. Bailey!’ Marion thought desperately.

“Mrs. Bailey, we-” Marion, blushing, tried to explain as she watched Mrs. Bailey's retreating figure. However, Mrs. Bailey walked away too fast, and within seconds, she had descended the stairs.

Feeling awkward, Marion glanced at Lucas. “Mrs. Bailey seems to have misunderstood.”

“Misunderstood what?”

The man raised an eyebrow.

“Misunderstood that we were just-kissing?”

It felt so embarrassing. How could she put it into words?

“Aren't we a married couple?”

“Yes, but-”

We are a fake couple!

“Is it abnormal for a married couple to ki

Marion understood Lucas’s point. not abnormal.”

“No, it’

Indeed, Mrs. Bailey did not know that they were a fake couple. Lucas did not dwell on the matter, saying, “Let's go eat.” “Okay, okay.” Marion stopped overthinking and headed downstairs with Lucas. However, as she descended the stairs, a realization struck her.

Wait, they had not kissed just now, had they?
