The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 368 I Pursued Him

The door swung open, revealing Lucas’s cousin, Danica Johanson. At just nineteen years old, she was a third–year student at Mystara University. Learning that Lucas was bringing Marion over for dinner that night, she had specially taken a day off to be there.

Danica was not the least bit shy of Lucas, and it was evident that their relationship was close.

“Marion, you look much prettier in person than in my mom’s photos. I don’t even want to mention those photos!” Danica, a lively and talkative broadcasting major, complimented Marion.

Marion’s face turned red at the compliment.

“Come now, Danica,” Lucas interrupted Danica with a glance at Marion’s reddened ears. “She’s very blunt.”

Danica playfully stuck her tongue out at Lucas and bent down to fetch a pair of slippers for Marion.

“I can handle it myself, Danica,” Marion quickly reached out to take the slippers.

“Your voice is so sweet! My heart flutters when you say my name,” Danica teased.

Marion awkwardly accepted the compliment, changed into the house slippers, and walked into the

house with Lucas.

Aunt Mindy and Uncle Gerald Johanson were in the kitchen as Danica brought them tea. “Have some tea, Marion.”

“Thank you.” Marion picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea.

Soon, a boy about Danica’s age came downstairs. “Lucas, you’re here!”

Seeing Lucas, Gale’s eyes visibly lit up. Danica slapped him on the back of his head. “Didn’t you see Marion?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Gale looked embarrassed as he addressed Marion. “Hello, Marion. I’m Gale, Danica’s brother.”

“Oh gosh, Gale!” Danica smacked him again, and he immediately. howled, “Danica, are: you even a girl? You’re so aggressive! Look at how gentle Marion is!”

Marion did not know what to say to that.

‘Don’t mind me,‘ she thought to herself.

After some playful banter between the siblings, Mindy came over from the dining room. “What’s all this noise? Don’t scare Marion!”

Mindy wore an apron and held a green onion in her hand. Marion smiled and greeted her, “Hello, Aunt Mindy.”

“Make yourselves at home. Your uncle and I just finished the last dish. Please wait a moment,” Mindy said as she swung the green onion at Gale. “Quiet down, Gale!”

Gale ducked in time to avoid the green onion.

The two siblings stopped their antics, Gale handed the TV remote to Marion, saying, “Here, you can watch what you want.”

“Thank you,” Marion said but did not take the remote. Lucas looked at her and then placed the remote in her hand. “No need to be so nervous. Just treat it like your own home.”

Lucas held her hand and sat beside her while he chatted with Gale.

Danica moved beside Marion and whispered, “Marion can I ask you a personal question?”

Marion lowered her head, looked into Danica’s mischievous eyes, and smiled. “Go ahead.”

“How did Lucas manage to pull you? Lucas isn’t as simple as you think. He’s quite sinister! He can deceive people, and they’d thank him while counting the money he earned from selling them!”

At her shocking words, Marion glanced at Lucas.

Was he a sinister man? There was a bit of truth to it perhaps. But considering how she initiated the marriage, it was more like she was the one who pulled Lucas.

It made Marion feel slightly guilty about it. “I was the one that pursued him.”
