The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 225 I Just Want to Kiss You

Lost in thought, Marion noticed that the car had already entered the villa garage.

Soon, Lucas had parked the car.

The garage was brightly lit, and it was only then that Lucas noticed Marion’s cheeks were flushed. “We’re here.”

Marion snapped back to reality, looking out of the car and realizing they had reached home.

Marion instinctively raised her hand to touch her cheek, feeling the warmth. She was surprised. “Am I running a fever?”

She had not consumed any alcohol. She knew her limits. Why would she drink alcohol?
