The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce) novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156 Did She Still Look Hungry?

Lucas looked at her. “Go take a shower first. The food will be brought over later.”

Marion nodded. When Lucas turned away, she quickly closed the bedroom door, glanced at her slightly protruding belly, and then grabbed her pajamas to head for the shower.

Despite claiming not to be hungry, Marion not only had a bowl of porridge but also indulged in two shrimp dumplings. Staring at the last dumpling in the basket, she restrained herself from picking it

1. up.

Lucas glanced at her. “Are you full?”

A blush crept onto Marion’s face. Lucas’s casual ‘Are you full?’ sounded gentle, yet she felt awkward due to her earlier actions. “Yes, I’m full.”

“Okay,” Lucas responded indifferently and said no more. Marion felt sleepy and stifled a yawn.

“May I retire to my room?”

“Go ahead.”

“Good night, Mr. Craig.”

“Good night.”

Marion stood up to leave the table. Just a few steps away, Lucas spoke in a leisurely tone, “Are you not going to eat the last shrimp dumpling?”

Startled, Marion almost stumbled. She turned back and looked at Lucas with conviction. “I’m full!”

“Are you?”

He glanced at her, his lips gently moving. It made Marion feel like she might have overreacted.

She pursed her lips. “I’ll go back to my room.’

“Go ahead.”

As Marion left in haste, Lucas watched her retreating figure. His eyes softened, and a light laughter

escaped his lips.

Marion rushed back to her room, closed the door, and touched her slightly warm cheeks with regret. She wondered if she had eaten too much, and made Lucas think there was still food left for him.
