The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 307 I’m Not a Good Person

In the photo, the man’s physique was quite impressive. Lucas took just one glance and exited the message. “Do you like looking at stuff like that?”

Marion’s face turned red instantly. “No! I was just curious!”

Lucas handed her the phone. “Don’t look at these in the future.”

“I won’t, I won’t. They’re not even interesting, and your abs look better anyway.”

‘Wait, what? Marlon, are you out of your mind? What did you just say? Quick, take it back!‘

Realizing what she had said, Marlon stood frozen, her mind blank. She did not dare to lift her head to

look at him.

“Indeed,” Lucas said as he lowered his gaze to her reddened ears and resisted the urge to pinch them. “Next time, just focus on my abs. I’ll show them to you for free.”

Marion wished she could dig a hole in the ground and bury herself!

Seeing her motionless, Lucas chuckled. “Not having lunch?”

Marion lifted her head, glanced at him, and said, “Why don’t you go down first? Let me recover for a moment. I feel so embarrassed.”

“Is it embarrassing to like looking at abs?”

Liking abs itself was not a shameful thing. But telling the owner of those abs that you enjoy looking at them is a different story. Marion felt like a creep.

“I don’t blame you.

“I blame myself.‘

“Well, I like you-

Just as Marion was about to respond to what seemed like a sudden and casual confession, she heard him continue, “I like seeing you shy.”

Marion just stared at him.

If he wanted to see her embarrassed, he could have just said so.

“Don’t overthink it. Let’s have something to eat. We have important matters in the afternoon,” Lucas said, his expression turning serious as he suppressed the smile on his face.

Marion regained her composure. “Alright! Focus on the important matters!”

Marion and Lucas went downstairs, where Mrs. Bailey had already set the table with five dishes and a soup, almost all of Marion’s favorites.

Feeling touched, Marion suddenly remembered boasting to Mrs. Bailey a few days ago.

She glanced into the kitchen but could not see anything. Even though Mrs. Bailey had not said anything to her, Marion believed in keeping her promises.

If she said she would convince Lucas to raise Mrs. Bailey’s salary, she had to find a way to persuade

him.

After taking a sip of the soup, Marion cleared her throat. “Mr. Craig, can I discuss something with you?”

“Hmm?” Lucas put down his spoon and focused on her. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Marion sharpened her resolve. “It’s about Mrs. Bailey, I think she’s doing a great job. A few days ago, she even taught me how to stew soup. The pot of soup I sent to your company was made following her instructions. Today, she prepared all of our favorite dishes, so I was wondering if we could-”

Suddenly, Marion felt she had not thought it through. She realized that Lucas was the one who set the salaries, and she might be overstepping her bounds.

Lucas, on the other hand, asked directly, “Do you want to give Ronda a raise?”

Feeling awkward, Marion wanted to say no, but the words would not come out. Saying yes also felt

wrong.

Seeing her silence and the pursing of her lips, Lucas spoke seriously, “I’ve mentioned this to Daniel before. If someone performs well, we can consider a salary increase. Just talk to him. I have no objections.”

Marion’s eyes

lit up. “Really?”

“For these small matters, my Mrs. Craig has the final say.”

Marion could retort that she was not really his wife. After a moment of silence, she managed to say, You’re a good person.”

“I’m not a good person,” Lucas retorted. Perhaps only in her eyes.

Marion disagreed, “No, you’re a very, very good person!”

Lucas was silent.

‘Let’s see if you still say that when it’s time to eat you, silly rabbit,‘ Lucas thought to himself.
