The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 205 How Sexy Is It? Marion was unaware that Lucas had already seen her ‘heroic deeds’.

She slept the entire way in a daze. When the car arrived at the villa gate, the driver called her twice before she opened her eyes. She fumbled in her wallet and pulled out a fifty—dollar bill, saying, “Keep the change, sir!”

After paying the fare, Marion rubbed her eyes and searched for the keys in her bag. Despite emptying the contents of her bag, she could not find them. Oh well.

Mrs. Bailey should be cooking by now.

She rang the doorbell, expecting Mrs. Bailey to answer, but to her surprise, Lucas opened the door, wrapped in a towel after just finishing his swim. Marion, who was still somewhat sleepy, was instantly wide awake.

“Why are you at home?” she asked. Should he not be at the office?

“Just got back,” he replied.

“Oh, oh, oh. Just got back and went swimming.”Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

So disciplined of him!

She stepped inside the villa.

“Hmm,” Lucas acknowledged, his gaze shifting to the bag in her hand. “Did you buy something?” “Yeah, | bought two sexy sets...”

She had just woken up, and her brain was still foggy. Lucas asked a question, and she answered without thinking. Mid— sentence, Marion blushed and stopped herself.

Lucas raised an eyebrow, looking at her with interest. “Two sets of what?” Marion glanced up at him, vaguely saying, “Two sets of clothes.”

He did not hear the word ‘sexy’ did he?

“Oh, two sets of sexy clothes.”

Marion did not have a reply for that.

‘Where's the swimming pool again?‘ Marion thought, contemplating drowning herself to escape the embarrassment. Just as Marion blushed at his scrutiny, Lucas asked another question, “I want to know, how sexy are they?”

Marion felt like yelling, ‘Dad, someone is being indecent here!"

Marion swiftly entered the villa, ran upstairs, and rushed into her room. She slammed the door shut with a loud bang. Holding the bag with the lingerie, Marion angrily tossed it aside.

Chapter 205 How Sexy Is 117 2/2 Blame it all on Cassie. Why did she ask her to buy sexy lingerie?

Marion quickly grabbed her phone and sent a message to Cassie: (Sob, sob, sob! It’s all your fault, for making me buy sexy lingerie! | ran into Lucas when | came back! So embarrassing!]

The quick—witted goddess Cassie replied instantly: [Did Mr. Craig see it? Is he satisfied?]

Marion: [...]

Why did she think that Cassie would be feeling guilty?

Marion spent over ten minutes zoning out in her room. After a while, she felt thirsty. The milk tea she had earlier was too sweet. She thought of going out for water but hesitated, considering her recent conversation with Lucas.

After struggling with her decision for a couple of seconds, Marion bravely got up and left her room.

Walking down the stairs, she realized she had overthought it. Lucas was not even in the living room.

Diligent Mrs. Bailey was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. Marion poured herself a full glass of water and drank most of it. Satisfied, she cradled the cup, ready to return to her room.

As Marion reached the stairs, for some reason, she suddenly wanted to go and check the pool area. Despite having moved in for a while, aside from the day Lucas had given her a tour of the other side of the villa, she had not been there on her own.

The villa was so large that it took Marion a moment to remember where the pool was. The sun, slightly milder now past five o'clock, was still hot.

Lucas was no longer in the pool. He must have finished with his swimming. Oh well, too bad. Well, it was not as if she was there to check on him. She just wanted to take a casual stroll! Marion shifted her gaze and, just as she turned around, saw Lucas emerging from the villa wearing only square—cut swim trunks.

In the sunlight, his long limbs, broad shoulders, well-defined back, narrow waist, and lifted buttocks were on full display.
