The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 392 How Could He Have Known?

Back home, without Lucas saying anything, Marion changed her shoes and headed straight for the

guest room.

She took out her diary and noticed the lock on it. Suddenly, she realized that even if Lucas knew this was a diary, he did not have the key, so he could not read it.

That meant he had not read her diary before!

How could he know those things, then?

Could he have dreamt about her? Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Marion pulled out her middle school notebook and hugged it as she walked toward the master bedroom.

Lucas came in with a glass of water, handing it to her. His gaze fell on the notebook in her arms, and he raised an eyebrow lightly. “Diary?”

Marion took the glass of water, feeling a bit embarrassed. “This is my middle school diary.”

Lucas took the notebook but did not immediately open it. “Can I read it tomorrow?”

“Sure! I’m going to take a shower!”

Marion was thrilled. She handed back the half–empty glass of water to Lucas and with her slippers on, hurriedly went to the cloakroom to get changed.

Lucas watched her back as she left, then walked to the bedside to put the glass down. He moved to the sofa in the living room, starting to flip through Marion’s dairy.

Marion had a rich inner world during middle school. While others struggled to write even an 800- word essay, she could write two or three pages of diary entries in her first year of junior high.

She wrote the most when she just started junior high, mostly about the tense piano competitions.

After entering her sophomore year, she complained about how annoying the boys going through puberty were. They would always give her love letters but she never had any intention of dating.

When Marion came out, she did not see Lucas in the inner room, so she instinctively went to the outer

room.

Seeing him sitting on the sofa reading her diary, her face suddenly flushed. “I’m done with my

shower.”

Lucas glanced at her. “Are you tired?”

“Not really.”

Her face was a bit red, and her gaze remained on the notebook in his hands. “Didn’t you say you’d read it tomorrow?”

“I couldn’t wait.”

Marion instinctively curled her toes. Thinking about the random musings in her diary, she felt

embarrassed.

“Um, I’m going to do my skincare!” She blurted out before turning around and rushing back to the

inner room.

Lucas did not tease her further. He put down the diary and grabbed his pajamas, heading into the

bathroom.

Marion breathed a sigh of relief, applied some face cream, and lay down on the bed. Her mood was still somewhat excited. While it was already past eleven, she was not tired.

After scrolling through her social media feed for a while and finding it boring, she decided to send Cassie the video of the fireworks. [Hey, guess why Lucas took me to the beach?]

Cassie: [Do I really want to know?]

Marion felt a twinge of guilt but could not resist sharing. [Do you remember that rom–com movie we watched in ninth grade?]

Cassie: [Of course! You even said if anyone treated you like the male lead treated the female lead, you’d marry him right away!]

Marion was really excited and typed quickly, [Exactly! So, tonight, Lucas wished me “Happy Birthday ” just like that. I’m so happy, Cassie. It feels like a dream!]

Cassie: [Wow! How did he know? Did you tell him?]

Marion: [No, I didn’t. At first, I thought he had a peek into my diary, but it was locked. He couldn’t have read it…]

Cassie: [No way! Don’t tell me Lucas guessed your thoughts, just like that?]

Marion: [I don’t think it was a guess, but I have no idea how he knew!]

Cassie: [Regardless, you’re really laying it on thick with this affection!]

Marion blushed awkwardly just as the video was sent.

Five minutes later, Cassie asked, [Can you ask Mr. Craig if any of his friends are single?]

She was feeling the itch for some sweet romance, too!
