The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 85 It Was Too Expensive

Marion sat in the wheelchair, while Lucas pushed it from behind. Just as they came out of the elevator, the adjacent one opened too. The person stepping out was none other than Jameson.

Accompanying him was a woman, but it was not Sally. Marion was quite surprised. Sally had not managed to secure her position—it seemed her status was not high enough.

Marion glanced at the two of them briefly before redirecting her attention. Lucas, on the other hand, did not spare a glance at Jameson and his companion. He simply pushed the wheelchair straight into the restaurant.

Jameson had not expected to run into Marion there. It had been several days since he last saw her. When he saw her, he instinctively called out to her. “Mar!”

However, before he could finish his sentence, Lucas had already pushed Marion into the restaurant. Jameson’s expression turned sour. He turned to glance at Ruby Black. “Miss Ruby, how about we reschedule for another day?”

Ruby, however, was not inclined to postpone their meeting. “Mr. Royce, since we're all here, why not have a meal together? Besides, Miss Marion is dining here with her newlywed husband. If you dine with me, are you afraid of feeling guilty?”

Ruby’s words hit a nerve with Jameson. Thinking about Lucas and Marion inside, Jameson abandoned his plan to leave. “You're right.”

The top—floor starry sky restaurant had a design with a fully transparent glass ceiling. When one entered, one would spot a small stage of about ten square meters, with a piano.

As Marion and Lucas entered, someone was playing ‘Canon in D‘ on the piano. The restaurant was spacious, occupying half of the top floor, and the distance between tables was vast. The ambient noise from diners conversing did not stand out much in such a spacious setting.

Before arriving, Lucas had already arranged for a reserved spot—a cozy window- side booth.

“Mr. and Mrs. Craig,” the waiter gestured, and Marion rose from the wheelchair to take her seat. Lucas sat opposite her, and the waiter promptly folded the wheelchair away.

Marion had been to the restaurant once before with Cassie, but she could not

secure a window-side seat, let alone one as good as this. Marion marveled at the influence of wealth and power. “Let's see what we can eat,” Lucas said.

Marion glanced at Lucas and replied, “Thank you, Mr. Craig.” As she took the menu, she noticed Jameson and the woman approaching from the other side.

This time, Marion got a clear look at the woman’s face and realized she was also someone familiar—Ruby Black. Ruby’s fondness for Jameson was not a secret in their circle, just as Jameson’s dislike for her was not.

Marion sighed inwardly. Well, it seemed she had company for dinner. Trying to focus on the menu, Marion could not shake the feeling of being jinxed by the presence of those two. She rolled her eyes discreetly, but as she looked away, she felt a sudden warmth at the corner of her lips.

Marion trembled slightly as she watched Lucas extend his hand to touch the corner of her lips, leaving her befuddled. “Mr. Craig?”

Lucas casually withdrew his hand. “There’s a bit of lipstick there.”

Marion's face turned red. “Oh, I’m sorry.”

How embarrassing! She quickly took out a small mirror from her purse but could not find any issues after looking for a while. Lucas seemed to guess her thoughts. “Wiped it off.”

“Oh, thank you. Next time, just let me know, no need to get your hands dirty.”

“Sure,” Lucas responded nonchalantly. “Have you decided what you want to eat?

“I've made a choice,” Marion replied, though she had not. However, under Lucas’s gaze, she had to amend her statement. “What | meant was, I’ve chosen but haven’t made up my mind.”

It was too expensive and she was feeling worried about how much it would cost. Chapter B5 It Was Too Expensive
