The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 219 Do You Like Me?

Lucas led Marion to the dining area, attracting numerous glances along the way-some filled with envy, others with surprise, suspicion, jealousy, or disdain.

Marion straightened her posture, gripping the man’s hand tightly, and walked confidently past the onlookers. Even if she was not truly Mrs. Craig, no one knew!

Lucas noticed her subtle movements and a faint smile played on his lips as he tightened his grip on her hand. Silly rabbit. The buffet at Alice’s birthday party was quite extensive, featuring an array of Western cuisines.

Marion was initially worried about going home hungry, but with Lucas repeatedly offering her food, she started to worry if people would suspect something about her constantly-filled stomach.

“Are you full?” Lucas asked, holding a plate of escargots he found somewhere. It looked delicious. However, she could not eat anymore. Marion forced herself to avert her gaze, saying, “I’m full.” Under his gaze, Marion emphasized, “I’m really full. If | eat more, I'll have to take digestive pills.”

Recalling the last time, Lucas did not insist on adding to her plate. He simply responded with a casual “Hmm” before putting the escargot into his mouth.

Just after they finished eating, Alice approached, saying, “Sweetie, I've come to find you!” Lucas raised his hand, stopping Alice in front of Marion, while his other hand pulled her closer.

Interrupted, Alice looked displeased and adjusted her expression, “Mr. Carig, Paul Knowles said he has something to discuss with you.”

“Oh.” Lucas responded indifferently, but he did not move.

Alice repeated herself, but this time, Lucas remained silent.

Amused, Alice said, “Lucas, you've been sticking to her all night. Can’t you give her some personal space?”

Lucas looked directly at Marion and asked, “Do you need personal space?”

“Isn't that obvious? Of course, | need it!” Marion responded.

Caught between Lucas’s affectionate gaze and Alice’s hopeful eyes, Marion found herself in a

dilemma.

If she said she did not need personal space, would Alice burst into tears the next second?

If she said she needed it, would Lucas get angry? Ah, being so sought after was not easy!

“Sweetie, it’s okay. Just speak your mind.”

Marion was genuinely susceptible to a softer approach, and when Alice called her ‘Sweetie’, she

surrendered instantly. She looked at Lucas with an awkward expression and said, “I think | do need personal space.” Sorry, Mr. Craig. Alice’s sugar—coated bombardment was too intense, and she really could not resist

it!

“Okay,” Lucas replied in a subdued tone, lowering his eyes, appearing as if he had fallen into the shadows. Was he angry? Marion wanted to comfort him, but Alice had already pulled her away, saying, “Let me show you the birthday gifts | received!” Marion looked back at Lucas, feeling strangely like a bad woman. But soon, that thought was pushed

aside.

Alice claimed that she would give Marion all the birthday gifts she received that year! Why did Alice always want to give her things?

“Of course, I’ll accept the birthday gift you gave me, but all of these are for you! You saved me, so it’s only right to give you my birthday gifts,” Alice declared.

“What?” Marion was confused. ‘Is there something wrong with you, Alice?‘ Marion asked herself.

Marion, frightened, quickly exited the room filled with luxurious gifts. “Miss Alice, may | ask you a question?” Alice, looking honored, said, “Sure, ask away! You can ask as many questions as you want!”

Marion was perplexed, “I’m not that curious. | just wanted to ask if you like...”

Directly asking about someone’s sexual orientation seemed impolite!

Alice, with sparkling eyes, looked at Marion, “What do | like?”

Marion paused for a moment and changed her approach, “Do you, by any chance, like me?”

“Yes, how did you know?” Alice exclaimed!
