The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 255 Being a Good Wife

Marionemo continued to ponder about what had happened earlier, only gathering herself when drowsiness struck. She got up to freshen up.

‘Well, it it's fake, let it be fake. Lucas is acting alongside me anyway!" While she might be lying to herself for comfort, it worked. Marion’s mood instantly lifted.

It was getting late, and she had spent the whole day shopping with Cassie. Feeling the fatigue in her legs, Marion took a quick shower and soon dozed off.

Perhaps because Lucas had unexpectedly returned to celebrate Valentine’s Day with her, Marion dreamed of him again.

This time, the dream—Lucas did not mention “delusional infatuation.” Instead, he remarked that he did not like the gift she gave him and asked her not to give such gifts next time.

The alarm on her phone rang incessantly, jolting Marion from her dream.

Summer mornings started early. Though it was only around seven o’clock, it was already bright outside. Staring out of the window, Marion daydreamed for a moment. Suddenly, she remembered that Lucas had to rush to catch a flight this morning.

Realizing this, Marion, who had initially planned to go back to sleep, immediately sat up in bed. As a good wife, how could she let her husband go on a business trip all alone?

Marion rubbed her face, hastily got out of bed, and headed to freshen up. Even though she was not walking very fast, her knee accidentally bumped into the bed corner, causing a surge of pain.

It hurt so much that her knee felt numb.

Standing there, she felt a bit lightheaded. Fortunately, after the excruciating pain subsided for a moment, it got much better. Her knee was swollen from the impact, making every step painful.

Perfectly fine just a second ago, Marion was suddenly limping. She thought that after washing up, she would be fine. However, to her surprise, her leg

involuntarily bent with each step after stepping out.

Although she not really limping, she could not walk properly.

Lucas’s car was already downstairs; if she lingered, he would leave!

However, would it not be embarrassing to go out like this?

So be it. Marion already used a wheelchair in front of him. A slight limp was not a big deal.

It was doable to walk normally, so she decided to endure the pain. Marion gritted her teeth and went downstairs, only to find Lucas already at the entrance.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Marion subconsciously shouted, “Mr. Craig!”

Hearing her voice, Lucas turned around. Unfortunately, at that moment, Marion had just let go of the stair railing. Her knee throbbed with pain and gave way before she could react.

Could he just pretend he did not see her?

Could time rewind so she could disappear on the spot?

Marion slumped on the ground, her face turning as red as a boiled tomato. “Where did you fall?”

Adeep male voice sounded beside her. Marion raised her head, and her gaze collided with those dark eyes. Embarrassed, she stammered, “N—nowhere... | didn’t fall.”

Lucas furrowed his brows, reaching out to help her up. “Why are you in such a hurry?”

“| wanted to see you off.”

As she spoke, her eyes suddenly caught sight of the tie on the man’s chest. Marion’s eyes lit up. She looked up, excitement in her eyes. “Is this the tie | gave you?”

“Yeah.”

Lucas replied, still a bit concerned, “You didn’t fall, right?”

Could they not just let it go?

Originally, Marion’s embarrassment had faded a bit. However, hearing him bring up the incident again, her face heated up once more. “I really didn’t.”

“Okay, then.”

He acknowledged and glanced at his watch.

Marion understood. “You better get going, or you'll miss your flight.”

Lucas lowered his head to look at her, his eyes and brows moving. “Aren’t you

supposed to see me off?”
