The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 294 Yes, | Was Watching You

Lucas lowered his gaze, and his black eyes stared directly at her. He leisurely undid his buttons, and Marion felt like she was being tortured.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

When he reached the fourth button, she could not bear it anymore, “Can | take a look from a distance? It was really inappropriate of him.

“It's clearer from here.”

Obviously, he was not going to let her get away so easily.

She awkwardly watched him as he unbuttoned his shirt to reveal his chest and well-defined abdominal muscles. There were also scattered chickenpox marks above.

Contrary to Marion’s imagination, there were not many pox marks on his body as almost all had faded. “lm done.”

She looked up at Lucas, gritted her teeth, and sat down on the side of the chair.

“Sorry... | didn’t know you had chickenpox.”

Lucas buttoned up again, “How did you know | had chickenpox?”

Marion did not know what to say.

Daniel had warned her. Lucas was really good at getting her to reveal herself!

She was desperately searching for excuses, thinking about how to say it without betraying Daniel However, after careful consideration, she found that she had very few common acquaintances with Lucas!

Just as Marion was desperate, she suddenly saw a chickenpox mark on the side of Lucas’s neck!

Her eyes lit up, “You fell asleep just now. | wanted to cover you with a blanket. When | approached, | saw a chickenpox mark on your neck. Although it’s very light, it looks fresh, so I...”

“Is that so?”

Lucas raised his hand and touched his neck, “Where?”

Marion pointed, “Here.”

“Here?”

He moved his hand to the left but could not find the mark she mentioned.

Marion anxiously grabbed his index finger and pressed it against the mark. “Here.” Chapter 294 Yes. | Was Watching You

“Uh, | feel it now.”

He suddenly turned his head, catching Marion off guard. His breath rushed onto her face, and she stared at his lips. Her heart was beating rapidly.

She wanted to kiss him!

Lucas was also looking at her, his deep black eyes revealing nothing. Marion could not decipher anything when she looked into them.

She snapped out of it and quickly averted her gaze. “I had chickenpox before, so | have antibodies. | won’t get infected.” Most people only get chickenpox once in their lives.

“Yeah.”

Lucas responded but then asked, “The blanket?”

He had changed the topic too quickly, and Marion could not keep up. “What blanket?”

“Didn't you say you were going to cover me with a blanket?”

How could she forget that?

Marion instinctively looked around for a blanket, but there was none in the piano room.

Oh no, she had been exposed!

‘Indeed, lying is never a good thing!" she thought to herself.

She took a deep breath, looked up into Lucas’s eyes, and gave a forced smile. “I couldn't find the blanket.”

“Oh.”

He smiled, “So, were you just looking at me?”

The topic shifted so fast that Marion couldn’t catch up. “What blanket?”

Oh gosh! What should she say? What else could she say?

Marion was at a loss, and in the end, she simply gave up. “Yes, | was watching you.”

She bit her lip and continued, “You look so good, can’t | steal a few more glances?”

Lucas looked at Marion and felt a peculiar sensation in his heart. His eyes darkened, and he said in a hoarse voice, “You can.” Marion found herself speechless.

Neither of them spoke.

Just when Marion felt the pressure to break the silence, there was a knock on the door.

“Sir, Madam, dinner is ready,” Mrs. Bailey called from outside the piano room.

‘Mrs. Bailey, you're such a lifesaver!’ Marion thought as she breathed a sigh of relief.
