The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 37 She Called Him ‘Honey*

Marion looked at Jameson in front of her, never expecting him to say such words! Up until then, he still thought that as long as he coaxed her, she should forgive him and they would reconcile!

The gentleman from her youth had remained in her memories. He had changed long ago, and Marion had known it all along but was unwilling to accept it.

She lowered her gaze and stared at the phone in hand. The thread in her mind had finally snapped. Marion selected Lucas’s number as anger and disappointment flooded her emotions. When the call went through, there was only one thought in her mind.

She wanted Lucas to come over, and pick her up! The phone emitted a series of connecting sounds, and after about five or six seconds, the man on the other end answered. “Mrs. Craig?”

Acool and lazy voice came through the phone, and Marion gripped the phone tighter, “Honey, I’ve finished dinner. Come to my house and take me home.”

“Honey?” The man,

who had been leaning against the car, suddenly straightened up. His slender fingers landed on the buttons of his collar, and with a gentle press of his index finger, the tightly closed collar loosened slightly, revealing the man’s sexy clavicle.

Despite that, he still felt the warmth rise in him. His hand moved downward, undoing the second button.

Marion listened to the voice on the phone in puzzlement. The man’s voice was deep and mellow, and even though he was not in front of her, she felt his breath on her face. It made her cheeks flush.

She softly responded with a ‘Hmm‘ and glanced at Jameson. Then she added, “It’s getting late. | have a follow-up appointment tomorrow. Come quickly to pick me up.”

“Okay.”

Upon hearing the man’s acquiescence, Marion hung up the phone. She looked at Jameson coldly. “If you’re not busy, wait for my husband to come and take me home.”

With that, Marion pushed the wheelchair and turned to return to the Cartiers’ villa. Richard, seeing the situation, quickly walked over. Considering Jameson's presence, he could not say much, so he used his eyes to signal Howard to quickly close the door. Howard understood the signal and promptly closed the main gate.

Jameson stood in front of the Cartiers‘ gate, his mind filled with Marion’s recent call where she referred to someone as ‘honey.* She called Lucas her ‘honey’.

Once inside the villa, Richard finally spoke. “Marion, did you really ask Lucas to come and pick you up? Are you not going to stay at home tonight?”

Marion had been provoked by Jameson, but she was not entirely impulsive. “Dad, I’m just putting on a show for Jameson. When Lucas arrives, I'll ask him to drive me around outside. I'll be back home

tonight.”

She had known Jameson for many years and understood him well. If she did not let Lucas come over that night, Jameson might stand at the Cartiers‘ gate all night. Marion was not concerned about him

standing outside for a night. She was more worried about unwanted attention from the public or neighbors. To prevent Jameson from becoming a frequent visitor, Marion decided to cut ties with him.

Richard understood his daughter’s intentions. As he looked at Marion, who had grown into a graceful and poised young lady, he felt a warmth in his heart. “Regardless of the circumstances, | believe that you will make the right choice!”

His daughter had grown up, displaying a blend of softness in character and decisiveness in actions.
