The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 44 So...You Were Using Me

Marion had not had a chance to explain before receiving a barrage of messages from Cassie. [Your relationship has progressed so quickly!]

[Has Lucas been secretly in love with all these years? And you're married now, aren’t you?] [Haha, being at Lucas’s place at this hour, is going to drive that scum outside crazy!)

[Are you planning to spend the night at Lucas’s place? Oh, sorry, | should say at your home. You're married now. Your marriage home!]

[You're amazing! I’m impressed! Lucas is worth it, but don’t go too far. Remember to use protection. | won’t disturb you anymore!] Marion's hands trembled as she read Cassie’s messages. Her phone slipped from her grasp and landed on the bed with a thud.

At the same time, the bathroom door opened. Lucas, who was wearing a bathrobe, emerged. A refreshing scent followed him. His short, wet hair hung casually over his head, and water droplets traced down his sharp features, dripping onto his chest, following the contours of his muscular

physique.

Lucas’s skin gleamed, radiating a captivating glow beneath the black bathrobe. Marion was captivated by the sight of the water droplets and momentarily lost her composure. She quickly averted her gaze.

After drying his has, Lucas casually tossed the towel into the laundry bin in the bathroom. He glanced at Marion, walked into the living area, and picked up two highball glasses, then grabbed a bottle of

red wine.

“Care for a drink? It helps with sleep.”

Marion was flustered. “I'd like to talk to you.”

“Thank you,” she added as she accepted the glass.

When her fingertips accidentally brushed against his, the cool touch made her finger twitch. Marion quickly lowered her head and took a sip of the red wine.

‘Courage,’ she told herself.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Lucas placed the red wine on the small coffee table nearby, dragged a single chair to her side, sat down with his legs stretched forward, and fixed his dark gaze on her.

“What do you want to talk about?”

After just having showered, a refreshing aura emanated from him. Even though it was cool in the room, Marion felt her face warming up. The red wine she had just tasted was rich and aromatic, a

Marion bit her lip and sat up straighter. “Regarding our marriage, | believe you should know why | married you.”

Lucas swirled the red wine in his glass. “I see. Why did you marry me?”

Marion hesitated for a moment, her prepared words stuck in her throat. Then she looked into his eyes. “Jameson ran away from our wedding to go to Sally. That was a very public humiliation for me.”

“Even when he saw me get in an accident, he left anyway. When | asked you to marry me, | intended to get back at him.”

Pausing paused then Marion glanced at Lucas. Seeing no significant change in his face, she continued, “I also wanted to break ties with him completely by marrying you.”

“So...you were using me.* Suddenly, Lucas leaned down and stopped within inches of Marion. “Then, why do you think | agreed to marry you?”

Marion instinctively tried to move back but then realized she was sitting on the bed. She attempted to shift her waist back instead. Unable to support herself, she ended up falling onto the bed. The glass in her hand tilted, and the red wine spilled directly onto her chest.

‘Great. I’ve got wine all over myself,’ she thought as she felt the liquid trail down her body.
