Chapter 301 I Am Her Husband
Marion looked up as she heard the host’s voice coming through the speakers, “Greeting, dear guests, please remain patient, Mr. Royce has encountered a slight issue,”
Ruby had already changed into another gown onstage as she eagerly walted for Jameson.
However, Jameson was nowhere to be found,
It felt eerily familiar to Marion,
Her mind slipped to a dark thought–Could Jameson be fleeing from his wedding again?
Soon enough, Ruby confirmed her suspicion.
“Marion, are you still here? Marion!”
Marion looked utterly confused at being addressed so suddenly.
Meanwhile, the doors of the banquet hall burst open, and a determined–looking man walked in.
It was Lucas.
Martin waved his hand to catch Lucas’s attention, “Over here, Lucas!”
The noise in the hall almost drowned out Martin’s words.
Despite the succession of events, the guests eventually quieted down.
Martin’s voice had drawn everyone’s attention. As Lucas strode over to Marion, he picked up a microphone on the table, “Sorry for being late. Congratulations to Mr. Royce and Miss Ruby.”
Ruby was at a loss for words.
Jameson was missing, and although they had managed to conceal it initially, they could not keep it hidden for long.
Marion took a moment to realize that Lucas had come over to her. She looked at Lucas’s well–defined profile in the dim light, feeling the mango candy in her mouth taste even sweeter.
“Why are you here?” Marion asked.
Lucas looked at her with a half–smile and joked, “I was afraid that someone might snatch my wife
away.”
Marion rolled her eyes,
“As if!”
Martin quickly lowered his head and pretended to be invisible as Lucas spoke to Marion.
With Jameson’s clear absence, chaos ensued onstage. Marion did not want to linger any longer. “Shall we go home?”
She lightly tugged at Lucas’s pinky finger.

Lucas lowered his head to look at her, his Adam’s apple bobbing slightly, his black eyes darkening momentarily as he hoarsely said, “Okay.”
With that, he took Marion’s hand and they left the scene.
Martin glanced at the backs of the two, his gaze falling on their tightly intertwined hands, and he murmured enviously to himself, ‘Shouldn’t have looked!‘
Lucas had driven himself over and had parked right at the hotel entrance. Marion followed Lucas to the car when suddenly Jameson rushed out, “Marion, can you give me another chance?” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Lucas, swift and decisive, pulled Marion into his embrace, then stepped aside to block Jameson, Royce, your fiancée is looking for you inside.”
“Mr.
However, Jameson seemed oblivious to Lucas and continued to plead with Marion, “Mar, I know I was wrong, truly! Let’s start over! Let’s leave here and start anew, okay?”

Marion felt that Jameson might have truly gone mad. “You ditched our wedding last time for Sally, and now you’re using me as an excuse to escape your engagement party with Ruby?” she asked incredulously.
“Did you even love me, Jameson? Or is it that you just can’t accept that someone who once loved you suddenly doesn’t anymore?”
The accuracy of Marion’s words drained all the energy from Jameson.
Lucas opened the car door and quickly helped Marion in.
As he closed the door, he glared at Jameson. “You’ve already let Marion down once. Do you really want to let her down a second time?”
Jameson’s eyes were red as he stared at Lucas. “What right do you have to say these things?”
“I am her husband. Doesn’t that give me the right?“
Lucas pushed Jameson aside. “Three months ago, you put Marion in a difficult situation, and now you’re attempting to do it again. Is this your idea of love?”
He paused for a moment, “That’s just pathetic!”
