The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 349 Mrs. Coquettish

Marion found herself lost in the whirlwind of affection as Lucas’s deep breaths filled her ears, alongside the restless beats of her own heart.

His large hand withdrew from around her waist, hesitating as it lingered at her side before finally pulling back.
