The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 229 | Mistook You As My Dad

Lucas studied her for a moment and asked, ‘Is it really that uncomfortable?” Marion was speechless as to why it was even a question.

She tilted her head to the other side and closed her eyes, pretending to play dead.

However, because they were sitting so closely together, that refreshing scent of wood on him would tease her occasionally, tempting her to lean closer toward him.

Marion struggled between reason and morality but finally saw a way out when her blood test report was out!

Seeing that all indicators in the report were normal, Marion quickly stood up from her chair. “Mr. Craig, let's go home!” Even if it meant she had to count sheep to fall asleep, she would rather go home.

“Or maybe you should see the doctor,” Lucas suggested.

Recalling the doctor’s peculiar gaze, Marion had no courage to go back to him.

“Let's go

home!”

At that moment, she could not care less about her composure. She instinctively grabbed Lucas’s arm and shook it.

It was a move she used to pull with Richard when she wanted something. All Marion wanted was to go home quickly, so she did not think much about it until Lucas looked at her and said, “Miss Cartier, please don’t tempt me either.”

Realizing what she had done, Marion quickly withdrew her hand.

Her already rosy cheeks turned crimson as she stood there, momentarily dumbfounded. “Sorry, | mistook you for my dad.” Lucas was instantly silenced.

Marion also recognized her blunder; why would this dashing man willingly be mistaken for her father?

She stood there, feeling incredibly awkward, especially since she realized the effects of the drug had worn off.

Lucas glanced at her sideways. “Let’s go home.”

“Okay.”

Marion nodded, afraid to say another word.

After all that, it was already past midnight by the time they left the hospital.

Perhaps after that eventful escapade, Marion's “excess energy” was released. Now seated in the car, she suddenly felt sleepy.

The sleepiness hit Marion like a train. As she watched the lights outside the car window, she yawned, and her eyelids began to droop.

When Lucas stopped at a red light at an intersection not far from the hospital, het glanced over to find Marion, who had just warned him not to tempt her, now peacefully asleep.

Asmirk appeared on Lucas’s face. In the quiet car, the man’s deep laughter sounded. As soon as the light turned green, Lucas shifted his gaze away and drove forward.

As the car pulled into the garage, Mariont was.sound asleep in the passenger seat.

Lucas carried her to the room, and Marion did not stir one bit.

After placing her on the bed, Lucas’s gaze fell on the dress she was still wearing. Lucas, who had initially planned to leave, changed his mind. He bent down and unzipped the side of her dress.

With the zipper down, the dress loosened significantly.

However, Marion suddenly shifted on the bed, causing the thin blanket to slide down. The dress, caught in her movement, hitched up, revealing the tops of her thighs.

Just as Lucas was about to succumb to the desires beneath his composed exterior, the person on the bed suddenly murmured, “Mr. Craig, please don’t seduce me. | won't be able to resist!”

This time, she blurted out everything she had not said before.

Lucas suddenly burst into laughter and pulled the dress back down, covering her exposed thighs. Then, he pulled the thin blanket over her again, ensuring she was properly covered.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Finally, he bent down and gently kissed her red lips before getting up and leaving. She could not resist him, huh?

Well, it was perfect because he was running out of patience too.
