The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 428 Why Are You Upset?

Marion’s thoughts were all over the place. When she was with Jameson, there was Sally, and now, after finally confessing her feelings to Lucas, this “sweetheart” popped up out of nowhere.

Once bitten, twice shy. Marion felt like she was back in that period of unease and pain, but she no longer had the same innocence and courage she once did.

If Lucas did have feelings for that “sweetheart,” she would immediately get a divorce and let them be. Anyway, their marriage was not a normal one from the start, and she could just get a divorce!

She sighed deeply, trying to convince herself otherwise.

Suddenly, the bathroom door swung open, and Lucas emerged, having finished his shower.

Feeling a mix of sadness and guilt, Marion instinctively turned away from him but immediately regretted it.

Lucas was too smart. Would turning away expose her?

Thinking about it, Marion hesitated momentarily and then forced herself to turn back.

As soon as she did, she met the piercing gaze of his cold eyes.

Marion nervously tugged at the bedsheet, trying to act casual. “Have

you showered?”

Looking at her shifting gaze, Lucas furrowed his brows for a moment and then walked over to the bed, where he sat down. Instead of lying down after, he just sat there and stared straight at her.” Feeling down, love?”

Marion’s heart skipped a beat. His intense gaze made her feel incredibly vulnerable. After struggling to hold up for a moment, she could not do it any longer. She lowered her eyes, staring at the purple duvet in front of her. “Just a little.”

In truth, it was more than just a little.

She bit her lip, feeling the sadness building up inside her, like a dam about to burst.

“Is your work bothering you?”

Marion shook her head and glanced up at him. “It’s probably just PMS.”

She did not want Lucas to know she was upset. If what Amber said about the sweetheart was true, it would make her look pathetic.

Lucas looked at her, his thoughts unreadable, and remained silent.

A heavy silence filled the room. Just as Marion was preparing to break it, a shadow suddenly loomed

over her.

The man leaned down toward her, casting his shadow over her.

When the light around her dimmed, Marion instinctively looked up to see Lucas looking at her. ” Would a hug make you feel better?”

Marion was stunned for a moment. Then, she blushed instantly.

“Yes,”

Regardless of whether there was a sweetheart or not, she just wanted to be held right now, she said it and reached out, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Lucas also wrapped his arms around her waist, gently pulling her into his embrace,

“Why are you upset?” He lowered his head, his forehead almost touching hers. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

The scent of his shower gel was the same as hers, and Marion could not tell them apart.

She lifted her eyes slightly. “I’m just… upset.”

She could not lie. Afraid that Lucas would see through her, she lasted only two seconds before lowering her gaze again.

Her grip around his neck tightened subconsciously, and she bit her lip, feeling utterly useless,

She was legally Mrs. Craig, yet why could she not speak up?

She was useless!
