A Bride’s Revenge: No Longer The Back Up Novel

Chapter 72 425 BONUS Know your limits , Ariana .

A frown marred Brians face .

Its not like I absolutely need your food .

Youre on your own , then , Mr.

Lodge .

Ariana ate a mouthful of her omelet before Brian as though taunting him .

She knew Brian was spoiled rotten since he was young , so he didnt know how to cook .

Brian didnt burst out in rage upon facing Arianas taunts .

Instead , he scoffed at how bolder she had gotten .

Brian stood , entered the kitchen , and found a few instant noodle packets in the cabinet .

So , he grabbed one for himself .

Arianas smirk deepened at that .

She wanted to see what Brian would do next .

Much like she expected , many loud sounds soon emanated from the kitchen .

Brian had no choice but to exit the kitchen with a simple bowl of instant noodles in the end .

Ariana had already finished her meal by then .

She entered the kitchen with her empty plate while peering at Brians instant noodles .

Then , the corner of her lips curled into a sneer .

That utterly angered Brian .

What are you getting at , Ariana ? he snapped .

Oh , nothing .

Youre overthinking things , Mr.

Lodge .

Ariana smiled at Brian , adding , Im just here to wash my plate .

Although she said that , her smirk made it clear that she mocked Brian for not knowing how to cook at his age .

Brian lost all his appetite just then .

He approached the wine cabinet , grabbed a random bottle of wine , and threw his head back while downing its contents .

Ariana knew Brian tended to have stomach issues .

Yet , Brian still habitually drank a glass of red wine every night to relax .

She witnessed the sight before her and thought , I mustve lost my mind in my previous life to want to help Brian , quit drinking .

Now that I think about it , Id rather look after myself than worry about someone else .

Ariana looked away from Brian , thinking the latter could drink all he wanted .

After all , even if he died of drinking .

it would have nothing to do with her .

Time went by , and the atmosphere in the dining room became awkward .

Ariana was counting down the time .

Yet , Belinda didnt seem likely to return anytime soon when it turned 11:00 pm .

As for Brian , he was resting on the couch and reading the newspaper .

In the end , Ariana lost her patience first .

She voiced , Im going to check if theyve unlocked the door .

Brian emotionlessly spoke when he saw Ariana get off the couch .

I already tried opening it ten minutes ago .

Its still locked .

That rendered Ariana speechless .

She eventually said , Im going to bed upstairs , then .

Are you seriously acting like this is your home now , Ariana ? Do you think I want to live in your home , Brian ? Ariana found him unreasonable .

Why dont you think about who it was that brought me here in the first place ? So , youre saying this is all my fault ? Brian snorted , You were the one who refused to come when I asked during the day , yet you insisted on following me here at night .

You must be so innocent , huh , Ariana ? Chapter 72 +25 BONUS Mr.

Lodge , you phoned my family residence and asked Emily to pick me up .

You practically forced me to come here Why , you- Im exhausted and have no energy left to argue with you , Mr.

Lodge .

After saying that , Ariana wanted to go upstairs .

However , that only ignited a blazing fire in Brians chest .

He felt Ariana had become bolder since they registered their marriage .

She always seemed eager to anger him until his stomach issues worsened .

Upon going upstairs , Ariana opened the door to the room she used to stay in at the Lodge residence .
