The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 148 It Smells So Good

The public lawyer quickly arrived, and the entire process was recorded to preserve legal evidence.

As Marion signed, Lucas stood beside her. A subtle woody fragrance emanated from him, and she could not quite discern the specific scent.

After signing, she turned to ask Lucas, “Mr. Craig, what cologne do you use? It smells really good.”

It was truly pleasant.

Lucas glanced at her, placed one copy of the agreement inside the desk, and handed the other to Marion. “Keep this copy.”

The public lawyer had tactfully left, leaving only Marion and Lucas in the study.

Bowing his head, Lucas took a whiff of the fragrance on himself before addressing Marion’s question, “Is it too strong?”

Marion shook her head, “No, I just think the top and middle notes are quite pleasant, with a subtle woody undertone.”

“Oh, it’s cedarwood,” he replied.

At some point, he had bent down, and the scent of cedarwood became even more distinct.

Marion stiffened, cautious not to move. Lucas was right beside her, and when he leaned, he closed the distance between them. With any small movement from her, she would have easily touched him.
