The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 153 You’re Too Sensitive

On the other end of the phone, Cassie could not hear Marion’s voice and found it strange, “What’s happening, Mar? Did we lose connection?”

“No, it seems like there’s a burglar in my house-”

Just as she said the word ‘burglar’, the entrance door swung open, and a familiar figure walked in. Holding the phone, Marion awkwardly curled her feet to her body.

Just at that moment, Cassie’s voice came through the phone, “Quickly hide, I’ll call the police for you. By the way, what’s your home address? Oh, hurry up and exit the game. Let’s chat on WhatsApp through text. Don’t use voice, or the thief might discover you’re providing live commentary.”

‘Very well said. Let’s not mention this again,’ Marion thought to herself.

Then Cassie ended the voice call. Marion looked at Lucas, who had just entered, and forced a sheepish smile, “You’re back, Mr. Craig.”

“Didn’t Daniel send you my itinerary?” he said, implying that he was originally scheduled to return that evening.

Marion nervously pressed her palms together, “It’s so late, I thought you were coming back

tomorrow.”

She had been having too much fun the past few nights and had forgotten that Lucas was returning that day.

Lucas glanced at her, “It’s late. Why aren’t you asleep?”

“Uh, these past two days, I’ve had trouble sleeping.”
