The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 357 Aren’t You Going To Pick It Up?

Marion’s heart raced as she hurriedly covered the box and placed it behind her. By the time she hid the box, Lucas was already in front of her,

Lucas’s gaze swept over her hastily withdrawn hand and slowly moved to her face. He looked at her with a hint of amusement in his eyes. “So what did Cassie send you?”

Marion was terrified that Lucas might notice the sexy lingerie. “Oh, it’s nothing, just some clothes.”

“Is that so?” He walked over to the island, poured a glass of water, took a sip, and then looked back at her. “Have I upset Cassie somehow?”

Confused, Marion looked at him, “No.”

‘Does Cassie have any reason to be displeased with Lucas?‘ Marion wondered to herself.

Lucas set the glass down, glanced at the remnants of the unpacked package on the table, and

remarked, “Well if she sent you clothes, wouldn’t that imply that I’m not doing a good enough job in taking care of you?”

“What?” Marion asked.

Lucas’s interpretation was top–notch sarcasm.

Marion watched him approach her and she hastily took a seat.

However, the box she had casually covered fell onto the floor. Marion instinctively glanced to the side and saw the black lace fabric spill out of the box.

Marion sucked in a breath, and before Lucas could bend down to pick it up, she leaned over the box and dove into his arms, tightly embracing his waist. As she looked up at him, she changed the subject, “What do you want to eat tonight?”

With one hand holding her waist, Lucas looked into her eyes. “You can have whatever you want.
