The Bride s Revenge ( Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce ) Chapter 318

Chapter 318 But How Can It Be? 

Shaken by Lucas’s words, Marion almost ran back to her room. Once there, she found it impossible to 

sleep. 

After locking the door, she quickly messaged Cassie: [Cas! Are you there?“] 

Cassie, who had just finished showering, replied: (What’s wrong? Why are you acting so strangely tonight? Excited about riding a horse?] 

Marion touched her flushed checks and quickly typed her explanation: [I almost exposed myself just now! Fortunately, I came up with a clever excuse about a friend!] 

Cassie, an expert at getting to the point, asked: [Exposed? Exposed what?] 

Marion organized her thoughts for a moment then succinctly explained the situation to Cassie: [… Don’t you think Lucas’s words were a bit strange?] 

Cassie: [Don’t you think he’s teasing you?] 

Marion: [Teasing me about what? I didn’t expose myself! What I mean is, he seems to think that chasing after Jameson was silly…] 

Marion: [Actually, thinking about it, I feel silly myself.] 

Cassie, who had hoped her best friend had finally seen the light, replied: […I guess that makes sense.] 

Cassie felt a sudden sympathy for Lucas. 

Dealing with such a fool like Marion must be challenging. 

Cassie tried to salvage the situation: [Don’t you think he’s hinting at something?] 

Marion was puzzled: [Hinting at what? I talked about my friend. Surely he doesn’t think that my friend is me, right?] 

Cassie: [It’s not impossible. He doesn’t seem like a foolish man!] 

Marion was bewildered: [Are you saying he figured out I like him, so he wants me to confess so that 

he can reject me?] 

Cassie: [Why would he reject you?] 

Marion: [Why would he accept my feelings?] 

Cassie surrendered: [Never mind, maybe I’m overthinking.] 

‘Sorry, Lucas, I am powerless in this!‘ Cassie thought to herself. 

Marion was slow, but not foolish: [Cas, are you suggesting that Lucas likes me?] 

Cassie: [Can’t you tell?] 

Marion found it unbelievable. [Is it possible 

[Is it possible that you’re mistaken? Why would he like me?] 

Castle [Go ask him about that.] 

Marion: [I’m too scared.] 

Cassie: [Hmm…..] 

Marion’s heart was beating rapidly. 

Marion reread the chat records between her and Cassie. Even if she were foolish, she could see that Cassie was trying to hint at something 

But how could it be? 

How could Lucas possibly like her? 

Marion ended up losing sleep with those questions lingering in her mind. 

The next morning, she had breakfast with dark rings under her eyes. 

If she had a bit of courage, she could have asked Lucas at that point, and he would have probably given her an answer. 

Whether he liked her or not, there would be an answer. But she did not dare attempt the task. 

She was afraid of his rejection. 

After that day, Marion could not bring herself to look at Lucas with more than a few glances, fearing he would discover her hidden thoughts. 

She retreated, and yet someone else advanced. 

When she saw Amber and Lucas coming into the café together, it felt like a heavy blow to her. The spoon in her hand fell onto the table with a clang, drawing their attention 

After finishing her work–related messages, Cassie raised her eyes and saw Marion across the table with slightly reddened eyes. Marion looked miserable. 

Cassie was confused. “Um. Are you okay?” 

What had happened in those four or five seconds when she lowered her head?
