The Bride’s Revenge (Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce) novel Chapter 80

Chapter 80 Home Sweet Home, Mrs. Craig 

Lucas’s voice became significantly deeper and took on a husky tone. Marion felt guilty and dared not tease him further. “Go ahead and sleep,” she said. 

“Shh, quiet,” he replied. 

“I know,” she whispered. 

She was not that noisy, was she? The car suddenly fell silent. Marion glanced out the window, and her mood began to drop. 

Despite her age, she had never cohabited with a man before. Even though their relationship was not conventional, and cohabitation was part of the act, sharing the same roof, especially with Lucas, made her nervous. Moreover, Lucas’s villa had only one bedroom. 

The car’s confined space heightened Lucas’s woody scent. His fragrance seemed to have a calming effect on her. Marion sat inhaling it as she slowly drifted off to sleep. 

She did not sleep well last night. Her dreams had been chaotic. 

Lucas’s driver steered the car smoothly, while Marion slept soundly. At one point, her head knocked against the car window. 

Meanwhile, the man next to her, who had claimed to be tired, watched Marion, 

who had dozed off. 

The sunlight outside cast a warm glow on her porcelain face. 

As the car stopped at a red light, Marion swayed lightly and bumped her forehead against the glass. 

It looked painful, but she showed no signs of waking up. 

She could still sleep so soundly. 

Lucas smiled, reached over, and pulled her towards him. He rested her head on his broad shoulders. Compared to the stiffness of the window, his sturdy shoulders would be much more comfortable. 

Marion was fully aware of the change. She even adjusted her position and shifted slightly to find a more comfortable spot. 

Satisfied, she continued to doze off. Lucas, unable to resist, reached out and pinched her cheek lightly. 

As she was sleeping so soundly, she did not react to the tease.

Twenty minutes later, the car came to a gentle stop. Liam was about to speak but saw Lucas’s signal for him to stay silent. 

Liam promptly shut his mouth when he noticed Marion sleeping. He got out of the car and took the initiative to move the luggage into the villa. 

Marion was awakened by Lucas’s vibrating phone. 

Still groggy, she opened her eyes and looked at Lucas who was only inches away from her. 

Without much thought, she asked, “Have we arrived?” 

“Are you awake?” Lucas inquired.
