The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 154 I Didn’t See Anything. You Believe Me, Right?

Marion grabbed her phone and hurriedly ran to open the door. As expected, there was a police car

parked outside, and several officers were present, including a female officer.

“Miss Marion, I’m Officer Tucker. Your friend reported a break-in at your home. Is there a thief inside?”

The officer asked as he scrutinized Marion.

Marion felt embarrassed, quickly shook her head, and explained, “I’m sorry, Officer Tucker. There’s no

intruder in my home. It was a misunderstanding. My husband returned from a business trip, and I

mistook him for a thief. My friend hung up before I could explain…’

Understanding the situation, Officer Tucker still had to follow protocol. “Are you sure there’s no intruder,

and everything is fine? Would it be convenient for your husband to come out and talk to us?”

Marion hesitated, “My husband is taking a shower so it’s not convenient for him to come out right now.”

“No problem, we can wait.” The officers stayed outside, and Marion reluctantly invited them in while

assuring them she would hurry her husband.

Before she left, one of the officers warned her, “Miss Marion, if you don’t come out within five minutes,

we will have to enter.”

The officer’s firm words seemed directed at any potential ‘intruder’ inside. Marion felt uneasy, never

having encountered such an awkward situation in her life.

“I understand, Officer Tucker.”

With that, she turned and briskly entered the villa, heading straight to the master bedroom on the

second floor.

Her guess was accurate – Lucas was indeed in the shower.

The bedroom door was not completely shut, and after some internal struggle, Marion decided to push it

open. The bathroom door, however, was closed, and she dared not open it.

Keeping Officer Tucker’s ‘five minutes’ in mind, Marion blushed as she knocked.lightly on the bathroom

door. The muffled sound of shower water could be heard from inside.

Marion’s mind suddenly conjured some perverted images.

She slapped her cheeks, and knocked on the bathroom door with increased force, as she called out to

the man inside. “Lucas, it’s me.”

Hearing her voice, the water inside ceased its flow. Before Marion could fully comprehend the situation,

a man clad in shower steam opened the bathroom door and stood right in front of her.

The man’s chest muscles were within arm’s reach, leaving Marion utterly stunned.

“What’s happening?” Lucas’ deep voice came from above, and Marion struggled to regain a

semblance of composure.

She made an effort to appear calm, yet her words betrayed her, “The p-police want to see you.’

“The police?” Lucas furrowed his brow, but said, “Got it, I’ll come down right away.”

Despite his words, he did not immediately close the bathroom door.

As he looked at Marion’s blushing cheeks, Lucas’ gaze lingered on her delicate nose. He restrained

himself and called her name, “Marion.”

“What’s wrong?” Marion, feeling guilty, raised her head. Unable to resist, she glanced at his chest

muscles again.

They looked so appealing, and she wondered how they felt to the touch.

“What are you looking at?” Realizing that her actions had been noticed, Marion froze. Standing there,

she met those black eyes that seemed capable of understanding her thoughts.

Lucas, gazed directly at her, and asked, “What are you looking at?”

Aware that Lucas had caught her staring, Marion stood there and met those ink-black eyes that

seemed to peer deep into her thoughts.

She bit her lip, and from her earlobes to her cheeks, a sudden rush of heat turned her face bright red. I

didn’t see anything. You believe me, right?”
