The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 393 The First Time Seeing a Rabbit Walk into a Trap

When Lucas emerged, he noticed Marion looking at him strangely. He raised an eyebrow and

approached her, pulling her into his embrace effortlessly and leaning close to her ear. “Mrs. Craig, what’s with that look you’re giving me? Are you hinting at something?”

His deep, husky voice resonated in her car, causing Marion’s face to flush. She looked at him awkwardly. “I didn’t mean anything by it.”

She blinked, “I was just wondering if Martin and the others are single?”

As soon as Marion spoke, Lucas’s face visibly darkened.

He forcefully pulled her closer, biting her earlobe as if in retaliation, “Are you looking to stir up

trouble?”

What was going on in his mind?

“Cassie is single. She asked me.”

Upon hearing her words, Lucas chuckled softly, “Martin is single.”

Marion had just asked casually. She felt there was quite a gap between Martin and Cassie and had spoken in the heat of the moment.

“Forget it. Just pretend I didn’t ask!”

Since ancient times, there had always been a saying about matching social status. Martin seemed carefree, but he was the Hubermanns‘ heir, even if Marion thought Cassie was a good match for

Martin. The Craigs were not far off in terms of influence, either. If she forced Martin and Cassie together and things fell apart, she and Lucas would be in an awkward position.

Marion was not naive. She was well aware of these matters.

So, she could not help but ask, “Lucas…”

Her hesitant expression was amusing to him. It was not like he was going to bite her.

Marion felt somewhat embarrassed to ask, “There’s such a big difference between our families. What made you agree to marry me back then?”

“I didn’t think much about it.”

“Oh.”

Upon hearing his straightforward answer, Marion could not help but feel a little dejected.

Indeed, it was her proposal to get married in the first place, and he merely accepted out of gratitude.

Lucas looked down at her, his lips curling into a smile. “My first time seeing a rabbit walk into a trap.”

“How am I a rabbit?”

“Don’t you think you resemble one?”

The atmosphere between them seemed to lighten up a bit after the exchange. However, Marion could not shake off the uncertainty lingering in her heart.

Marion felt puzzled as she looked at him. She could not tell if it was her imagination, but she sensed there was more to Lucas’s words than met the eye. However, she was hesitant to delve further, so she pretended to yawn. “I’m tired! Time for bed!”

Lucas turned off the light, plunging the room into darkness instantly. Marion lay down, pulled the covers over herself, and moved closer to him.

The scent from his body was now as fresh as hers, both carrying shower gel’s fragrance.

In the darkness, she adjusted her eyes to the dim light and quickly leaned over to plant a kiss on his cheek, then closed her eyes, pretending to sleep.

Lucas looked at her, his lips curling into a smile. He did not tease her further.

It was already half past midnight. If they did not sleep now, his Mrs. Craig would not wake up on time

tomorrow.

Perhaps because of Lucas’s words, Marion had another peculiar dream. She dreamt of turning into a rabbit and rushing into the arms of a wolf.

Startled by this terrifying dream, Marion woke up. She opened her eyes to find daylight streaming in,

and Lucas was no longer by her side.

She blinked, reached for her phone, and checked the time.

Oh, my!

She had slept until eleven!

Marion hastily got out of bed, refusing to linger, and went about her morning routine.

Today, she had to have dinner with Richard!
