The Bride’s Revenge ( Marion Cartier And Jameson Royce ) novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206 I Won’t Look 

Marion knew that Lucas had a good physique, but she did not know it was that impressive! 

As she watched him approach, she swallowed. When she became aware of her reaction, Marion’s ears turned red, and the blush quickly spread from her earlobes to her cheeks. 

Lucas stood in front of her, and Marion subconsciously took a step back. “Are you looking for me?” Lucas asked, his black eyes meeting her gaze. 

Marion, still captivated by the close view of his abdominal muscles, suddenly felt thirsty again. She quickly brought the glass to her lips, took a large sip, and then spoke, “I was just wandering around.” 

“Oh,” Lucas replied without saying much. Then he turned around and dived into the pool. Water splashed, some reaching her skirt and some onto her feet. It felt cool and refreshing, quite different from the scorching heat of the evening. 

Her gaze followed Lucas as he swam freestyle. With each movement, the muscles on his body became even more pronounced. Marion instinctively touched her slightly bulging abdomen and then her soft 

arms. 

‘Maybe… I should go for a swim too? But not now,‘ she thought to herself. 

Marion pretended to sip her water while observing Lucas. The cup was emptied in no time, and she felt too embarrassed to stay longer. She returned to the villa. 

Mrs. Bailey was surprised to see her. “When did you come back, Madam?” Marion was about to say she had returned a while ago, but Mrs. Bailey added, “Sir seems to have gone swimming. You should let him know that dinner will be ready in twenty minutes.” 

Marion sighed, “Alright.” She had no choice but to head back to the poolside. 

Lucas seemed tired from swimming and was leaning against the poolside, catching his breath. Marion approached, “Mr. Craig, Mrs. Bailey said that dinner will be ready in twenty minutes.” 

Lucas looked up at her, “Alright.” Marion could not tell if it was an illusion, but she felt a restrained desire in his black eyes. She blinked, and when she looked again, his eyes appeared as calm as ever. Did her eyes deceive her? 

Marion had squatted down when she spoke to Lucas. She raised the cup, intending to take another sip of water but then remembered that the cup was empty. She grinned awkwardly, “I’ll go in first.” 

Lucas shifted his gaze away, looking at the water’s surface. He responded faintly, “Hmm.” 

After squatting for a few minutes, Marion felt dizzy as she stood up. Without anything to support herself, she swayed. Absent–mindedly, she lifted the cup again, forgetting it was empty. With an unsteady swing, the cup flew out of her hand. 

“No, not that!” Realizing the cup had flown out of her hand, Marion disregarded her dizziness and instinctively tried to reach for it. Failing to catch the cup, she tumbled into the water.

2/2 

There was a huge splash, and Marion emerged from the pool, meeting Lucas’s deep gaze. 

Was she not supposed to be underwater? After regaining composure, Marion suddenly realized that falling into the pool was not the most embarrassing part. She had fallen into the pool in her dress! 

Her dress could be worn in two styles: belted for a fitted French look or loose and fresh without the belt. 

Marion had worn it fitted when leaving but decided to go beltless when she got back, finding it cumbersome after a long day. 

However, while she was in the pool, her entire dress had floated to the top! \ 

Lucas also noticed the issue, “I won’t look.” 

“Thanks.” Marion sighed. She was clearly very tired!
