The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce) novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109 Empty Her Mind 

Lucas had mentioned the pool so casually that Marion initially assumed it was just outside the villa. 

However, upon stepping outside, she found herself facing a vast lawn adorned with golfing equipment. There was no sign of a pool! 

A pebbled pathway stretched to the left, while the right led toward the main gate. 

Marion surmised that the pool should be on the left. Following the path past flower beds, she finally laid eyes on the promised pool. 

It was an open–air setting, flanked by coconut trees, umbrella – shaded loungers, and a small space with a wooden table and matching benches. 

Lucas was already swimming as Marion approached. 

In the sunlight, his agile physique showcased the beautiful lines of his silhouette. His legs, often concealed beneath tailored pants, were long and slender. 

Lucas moved through the pool like a fish, as the sunlight glinted off the water’s surface. It was a captivating scene.

However, Lucas had already noticed her arrival.

“Step back a bit,” he said. 

Marion, caught off guard, instinctively took a step back. 

In the next instant, she felt a rush of cool air sweep past her. 

Lucas had effortlessly leaped from the pool and landed barefoot right beside her. 

He glanced at the documents she held in her hands. “Give me five minutes.” 

With that, he entered the adjacent room and disappeared from Marion’s view. 

The sun was not too scorching at that time of the day. The expansive view offered a clear sight of the distant setting sun. 

The evening glowed, and after standing for a while, Marion decided to retreat into the small room and take a seat on one of the chairs. 

Lucas had asked her to wait for five minutes, and just as Marion briefly flipped through the

documents again, he emerged wearing a bathrobe. Wooden screens on both sides of the small room created an artistic interplay, and a cool, refreshing breeze circulated through the scattered openings. 

Lucas pulled out the chair beside her and sat down. “What’s the issue?” 

He seemed to have anticipated her concerns.
