The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce) novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61 Do You Want a Hug? 

Marion took a nap and woke up around four in the afternoon. Then she remembered Lucas mentioning dinner together in the evening. Although she was not sure about Lucas’s plans, the day’s events did impact him somewhat. 

She glanced down at her legs and considered their current state. Lucas could not expect her to accompany him to a business banquet that night with her legs like that, could he? If it was not a banquet, it must be a dinner gathering. 

Marion chose a short dress from the limited edition series of a renowned fashion house. The design featured a stand–up collar and the iconic blue Oblique print. It gave her an elegant yet lively appearance. 

The waist was adorned with pleats that cinched her figure and emphasized her slender waist while the flared hem accentuated her beautiful legs. 

Of course, her legs were not fully healed, and as she had been sitting in the wheelchair, the muscles were not as defined. 

However, as her dress ended at two–thirds of her thigh, it revealed the porcelain like whiteness of the rest of her legs. 

There was a knock on the door, and Mable informed her that Lucas had arrived. 

Marion made a final glance at herself in the mirror. She was satisfied with her sophisticated and graceful appearance as a refined young lady. “I’m coming.” 

She chose a classic black chain bag from a renowned brand and then wheeled herself out of the room. Shortly after leaving the room, someone appeared on the

He nodded and strode towards her. His gaze now swept openly over her. “Very beautiful.” 

Marion straightened her posture and feigned composure. “Thank you,” she said gracefully. 

“Do you want a hug?” 

It was a very normal thing to ask, but for some reason, when it came out of Lucas’s mouth, it took on a slightly different flavor. The phrase “Do you want à hug?” seemed to instantly morph into “Do you want a warm embrace?”

Marion glanced at him. “No need- 

“No need to be polite. It’s just a question.” 

Her attempt to decline was blocked, and she found herself being lifted. Marion awkwardly said, “Thanks.” 

Suddenly, Lucas lowered his head. Marion stiffened and instinctively turned her face away, only to realize that he had stopped just above her cheek, his face a fist’s distance away. 

“Wearing perfume?” he asked. 

He sniffed and offered his evaluation. She had misunderstood his intention. 

Marion’s face felt warm. She had thought Lucas was going to kiss her, but it turned out he was only confirming if she was wearing perfume! Marion stiffly turned her head back and met his black eyes. She felt guilty as her heart pounded in her chest. “A friend made it for me.” 

When she was in France for an exchange program, she met a perfumer. As a gesture of gratitude for playing a piece, he had specially crafted a perfume just
