The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 440 I Want To Head Home Early

Cassie did not take a nap, so she got up, set her phone aside, and rubbed her neck, asking Marion,” Did you have a nightmare?”

As she handed Marion a tissue, she added, “You’re sweating buckets.”

Marion took the tissue and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead. At the thought of the nightmare she just had, her face burned.

Without answering Cassie’s question, Marion sat up and stared blankly at the blanket covering her.

Thinking Marion had really had a nightmare, Cassie hurried over and hugged her. “Hey, don’t be scared. It was just a dream. You’re awake now, and everything in the dream was fake!”

Marion pursed her lips and glanced at Cassie’s face, responding guiltily, “Yeah.”

Then, she gently pushed Cassie away. “I’m going to wash my face.”

“Okay,” Cassie relented, releasing her hold.

Marion slipped on her slippers and headed to the bathroom, splashing cold water on her face. The icy water helped clear her mind, but as she looked in the mirror, she could not help but recall the scene from her dream.

She quickly lowered her head and splashed more water on her face.

Ugh! It was all Cassie’s fault for always talking about those steamy plots!

Marion spent several minutes in the bathroom before emerging. As soon as she stepped out, she saw Cassie looking at her with concern. “You don’t look too good. How about we call it a day?”

Marion gave a wry smile. “It’s nothing. I just had a… not–so–great dream.”

She did not dare tell Cassie about the dream she had. Afraid Cassie would ask more questions, she changed the subject. “You tidy up, and I’ll get ready to go.”

“Wait! I need to use the restroom!”

Seeing Marion’s determination, Cassie did not press further.

Marion did not train for long in the afternoon, ending her session after just an hour and a half. It had been a while since she had done such high–intensity exercise, and her hands and waist were sore.

Cassie, who skipped her nap, ended up dozing off on the way back.

Marion parked the car and gently nudged the sleeping Cassie. “Cass?”

Cassie was in deep slumber, furrowing her brow before drifting back to sleep again.

Marion had to resort to drastic measures. “Kirk is trending.

“What’s trending?”

Marion huffed. “Are you even hungry for dinner?”

Rubbing her eyes, Cassie glanced out the car window. When she realized they were back in the city, she grinned sheepishly. “I must’ve been really tired, huh? I’m starving. Let’s grab dinner!

“By the way, isn’t it a bit too much if you don’t go back and have dinner with Mr. Craig?”

Marion instinctively checked WhatsApp. It had been the whole day, and Lucas had not sent her a single message. Was he angry?

It was Saturday today, and not only had she left early in the morning, but she was now skipping dinner at home too. It did seem a bit too much.

Cassie sneaked a glance at her. “Mr. Craig hasn’t contacted you all day. Is he angry?”

However, before Cassie could finish her sentence, Marion was about to exit the chat when a message popped up. [Mrs. Craig, have you had dinner?]

Now regretting her comment, Cassie stayed silent.

Marion replied guiltily. [Not yet. I’m about to have dinner with Cassie.]

Cassie, on the side, suggested, “Why don’t you two go for dinner, and I’ll grab something myself?”

Marion gestured awkwardly. “Come on, Cass. Let’s go. I’m hungry, too.”

Cassie snorted. “That’s right. No prioritizing boys over friends.”

However, Marion did not pay much attention to Cassie as she was busy typing a response to Lucas.

Looking up, she glanced at Cassie. “Cass, maybe we should try this seafood place next time. It’s always packed, and I want to get home early.”

Cassie rolled her eyes at how Marion ignored her just now.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
