The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 96 Kisses, Hugs, and High Spirits

After Lucas went to the company, Marion had planned to go practice the piano, but the thought of the ‘foolish things’ she had done made it difficult for her to focus.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

She picked up her phone, hesitated for a while, and decided to send a message to Cassie. [Cas, are you awake?]

Cassie, true to form, responded almost instantly: [Waking up so early ona

beautiful weekend, something's not right, Mar!]

Marion felt guilty. [No, | slept early last night.]

[Tsk, you don’t have to rub it in my face so early in the morning, do you?]

[What? | don’t think | said anything...]

[You don’t have to say anything. | understand!]

Marion touched her ear, recalling that she had a ‘legitimate’ reason for

contacting Cassie, and quickly shifted away from the strange topic: [Cas, you mentioned last time that when I’m drunk, | like hugging people. To what extent do | do that?]

She did not pause, but for some reason, the events of last night were blurry. For example, Marion had no idea how the red mark had appeared on Lucas’s neck!

But since there were only two people in the villa, Marion and Lucas, and she did not scratch him, could it be a wild cat? [Were you drunk last night?]

(Just a little.]

[Tsk tsk tsk, why are you looking for me so early in the morning? Did you go on a rampage when you were drunk last night?] [I didn’t, I’m not like that, | wouldn’t!]

[Triple denial means it’s true!]

As Cassie had exposed her, Marion decided to be straight with her. [I got drunk last night, but | only remember some things, and there are some things | don’t recall very well. So, | wanted to ask you, how extreme can my drunken antics get?

making people happy.]

[So | just like to kiss, hug, and lift people’s spirits? That’s it?]

Marion trembled as she read Cassie’s reply. Then she dropped her phone.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Marion picked up her phone, sent a grimacing emoji to Cassie, and then went to answer the door. The visitor was the housekeeper Lucas had mentioned earlier. She was a neatly dressed woman in her forties.

As soon as the door opened, the woman greeted Marion with a smile and introduced herself.

“Hello, Mrs. Craig, I’m the cook Mr. Craig arranged to have come over to prepare your meals. | am Ronda Bailey. You can call me Ronda.”

Marion nodded. “Hello, Mrs. Bailey. I’m more comfortable with that...”

Ronda was not particular about it. “Sure, as long as you are comfortable with it.”

Marion stepped back to allow Ronda in. “Mrs. Bailey, please come in. Let me take you to the kitchen and get you acquainted.” “Alright, thank you, Mrs. Craig.”

“You're too polite.”

Marion led Ronda into the villa. Upon returning to the living room, she realized that as she had just moved in, she was not very familiar with the specific layout of the kitchen. Lucas’s villa was quite spacious, with few rooms but excellent privacy.

Each functional area was clearly distinguished but made the place feel like a maze.

Fortunately, on the third attempt, Marion finally found the kitchen. “Mrs. Bailey, this is the kitchen. Please take some time to familiarize yourself with the space.”

Her face was still flushed from getting lost in the villa. After all, she had taken quite a few wrong turns earlier. Chapter 97 Are You Playing Mind Games With Me?
