The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 117 Are You Coming?

Cassie proved unreliable, and Marion was not adept at comforting others.

She had few close friends throughout her life, and since Cassie’s coping style was different, Marion found it challenging to navigate her feelings.

With Cassie out of the picture, Marion turned to the ever–resourceful online community.

Clutching her phone, Marion spent over half an hour browsing various forums and chat rooms, before finally stumbling upon some advice in a highly praised post.

After careful consideration, she concluded that diverting Lucas’s attention would be the most reliable approach.

Coincidentally, Lucas had not eaten anything the entire evening. Marion decided to prepare a meal for him to soothe not only his stomach but also his troubled emotions–two birds with one stone.

Cooking noodles did not take much time, and in about ten minutes, Marion emerged from the kitchen with a bowl of fragrant noodles.
