The Bride s Revenge ( Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce ) Chapter 79

Chapter 79 Why Is It Impossible? 

Marion was still blushing as she thought about how her father had been so easily fooled. 

She also did not anticipate that Lucas, who appeared serious and aloof, could say such heartfelt things. 

She had some reluctance to leave home, but after Richard and Lucas had their ‘ heart–to–heart‘ conversation, Marion felt so uncomfortable that she just wanted to part ways quickly. 

Fortunately, the embarrassing moment ended quickly, and when she sat inside the car, Marion finally breathed a sigh of relief. 

Lucas also got into the car, and as Marion turned to look at him she met those deep black eyes. “You seem eager to move into my house.” 

Marion smiled awkwardly. “I just didn’t expect you to be so good at lying. You had my dad fooled.” 

“Let’s go,” Lucas said to his driver, and the car began to move slowly. He casually rolled up his sleeves, and nonchalantly asked, “How did you know I was lying?” Marion’s heart skipped a beat as he suddenly looked up at her. His gaze was intense. 

“Or maybe everything I said was true?” Lucas’s stare made it hard to look away. Marion felt her mind going blank. She swallowed slightly and found it difficult to speak. 

His woody scent almost overwhelmed her in the confines of the car. 

Under his intense gaze, Marion felt warmth spread through her entire body. It took almost half a minute before she could regain some composure. 

She forced a smile and avoided eye contact. “How is that possible?” 

“Why is it not possible?” He remained composed. 

After the recent exchange between Lucas and her father, Marion found it surprising that the conversation could continue. 

She glanced at him and pulled herself together. 

“Have you known me/to speak without having thought about it?” he asked. 

She felt as if she had glimpsed a secret side of Lucas. “You think of me as a substitute for your Sweetheart, don’t you?” 

Chapter 79 Why is it impossible? 

2/2 

Had she just become the protagonist of his life story? 

The thought itself was quite thrilling! 

Lucas was unusually silent. He seemed to retreat into himself. “You’re overthinking.” 

Seeing that he suddenly regained his dignity and aloofness, Marion felt sure that she had guessed right. 

She did not feel embarrassed anymore. She turned slightly, propped her hand on her leg, put her head in her hands, and blinked at the man beside her. 

Turning his own methods against him, she asked, “How am I overthinking?” Marion suspected that the reason why Lucas agreed to marry her so readily might have something to do with his ‘unrequited love‘. 

She touched her face and said, “Mr. Craig, do I have eyes or a nose like hers? Or perhaps I bear a striking resemblance in spirit?” 

Marion was excited about being a stand–in for this unknown woman she thought Lucas loved. 

As he witnessed Marion’s inexplicable excitement, Lucas swallowed nervously. He did not hold back. He reached out and pressed her back into her seat. “Sit properly.” 

Marion could only adjust her posture, as she leaned back against the seat. However, she waited curiously for his answer. 

She turned her head towards him but suddenly, everything went dark. 

A large hand had covered her eyes. 

“Take a nap,” he said. 

Marion was puzzled, “I’m not sleepy.” 

The warmth of the man’s palm settled on her eyelids. His hand covered almost half of her face. 

Marion’s face gradually warmed. She pulled his hand down, and as the light returned to her eyes, she met his gaze. 

“I’m sleepy,” he admitted. He had barely slept last night.
