The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 292 That Should Work!

Daniel may have left Lucas’s itinerary with her, but Marion had no intention of looking at it.

Her mind was occupied with what Daniel had told her. “Mr. Craig had chickenpox last week, and he had a fever for three days. We didn’t tell you because we were afraid you’d worry.”

So, last week, when she thought Lucas was purposefully keeping his distance, he was actually having a fever and dealing with chickenpox? The realization hit Marion, and her eyes welled up with tears. She felt that her anger for the past few days was completely unreasonable.

Marion shared her revelation with Cassie: [Cassie, was I being unfair to Lucas?]

Cassie responded bluntly: [Are you really asking me that?]

Marion: [What should I do then? Should I apologize?]

Cassie, in her usual style, said: [Here’s a straightforward suggestion, why not confess that you have feelings for him and make him happy? That’s all the help I can offer!]

Marion sighed, realizing that Cassie’s advice might not be the most practical. Marion decided not to rely on Cassie and turned to the almighty internet for advice. Unfortunately, most suggestions she found did not apply to her situation with Lucas.

Realizing the consequences of her actions, Marion admitted that she would have to face the music herself. Just then Mrs. Bailey called her to dinner.

Having lost her appetite, Marion took a few bites but could not eat anymore. She finished a bowl of soup, though. When Bailey noticed the leftover food in her bowl, she asked, “Not feeling well today?”

Marion sighed, “Yes.”
