The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 208 They Envy You

Lucas remained silent, and Marion, feeling hungry, focused on nibbling her chicken wings.

Marion preferred eating in small, deliberate bites, and while the man at the table ate with refined manners, he finished before she was even halfway through her meal. It was not a big deal.

After all, everyone ate at their own pace. However, Lucas did not leave the table after finishing. Instead, he sat there, watching her.

Marion did not assume that Lucas was looking at her because her eating habits were appealing.

Perhaps Lucas stayed seated out of courtesy and etiquette, waiting for her. To accommodate him, she instinctively sped up her eating pace. After the final bite, Marion finally sighed with relief and looked at Lucas across the table. “I’m full, Mr. Craig.”

“Hmm.” Lucas nodded, raising his hand to place his phone in front of her. “A friend sent me this.”

“What is it?” Marion thought it might be a beautiful scenic video, but when she opened it, it was a recording of her throwing a cup of tea at Janice. After that, she had scolded Janice quite severely.

Splashing tea and scolding someone felt satisfying at the time, but now, seeing the recorded video, Marion felt awkward to the point of discomfort.

She feigned composure, lifted her head, took a sip of soup, and then looked at Lucas. “Sorry, Mr. Craig. I have a bit of a temper. I couldn’t control myself.”

She could not help but justify herself, “I’m not usually like that.” Marion did not typically resort to such behavior. It was just that Janice had been particularly irritating today.
