The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 43 Outside Lucas’s House

Marion kept a composed face. She had figured out that Jameson was not giving up. She pursed her lips and looked up at Lucas with a hint of embarrassment. “I probably won’t go back tonight.”

Her hand tightened nervously, fearing Lucas might not let her stay over that night.

“Moving in early might be a good idea,” he said casually.

He turned off the TV, and the surveillance footage disappeared. Lucas put down the remote control and gazed at Marion. In a calm and unhurried manner, he added, “I forgot to mention, Mrs. Craig,

Was he joking? Marion found it hard to believe. After a pause, she cautiously asked, “In such a large place, you only have one bedroom?”

“It seems that you don’t quite trust me,” Lucas remarked, as he rose from his seat and walked toward
