Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 464

“I still have work to do. I temporarily put aside my work and rushed over. I’m going back to work since you’re all done.”

Mary explained.

Mary had looked a little off since she and Marina had a conflict that day.

“Okay. Be careful on the road, and call me if you need anything” However, Marina did not have any resentment in her heart.

After all, Marina knew firmly that her parents loved her.

The reason why they had always disagreed with Simon being with Marina was probably because of their considerations.

“Okay.” Mary looked at Marina hard before turning around and getting into the car.

The moment the car drove out, Mary couldn’t help but look back.

Marina and Simon were still standing there.

From a distance, they were a perfect match.

Why did Simon have that man’s blood in his body?

Mary had a complicated expression on her face.

On the other hand, Marina watched as Mary’s car disappeared from her sight before looking at Simon.

“Let’s go back, too.”

“Okay!”

At noon the next day.

The few of them returned to Janeborough.

Marina did not follow Simon to his home. Instead, Marina asked them to take her to the Bailey family.

“Grandpa has been a little out of shape because of Lambert’s accident, so I want to live at home for the time being.” Marina explained to Simon.

“I know. You don’t have to explain these things to me. It’s just that I have something to do. I’ll come over and accompany you when I am done,” Simon said slowly.

“Okay,” said Marina with a nod.

Simon immediately leaned over and planted a kiss on her forehead.

“Go ahead, Simon said in a low voice.

Marina then opened the door and got out of the car.

Simon sat in the car and watched Marina enter the house.

Then, the smile on his face faded. He turned around and ordered Gavin, who was in the driver’s seat.

“Back to the office!”

“Yes, sir!” The car sped away.

The first thing Marina did after returning home was to see Chuck.

Chuck was sitting on the balcony of his room, holding something in his hands.

Hearing the commotion outside, he immediately put away the thing in his hands.

“Grandpa, it’s windy outside. Remember to close the window if you want to bask in the sun,” said Marina, pretending not to notice Chuck’s movements.

She only stepped forward considerately and closed the window for Chuck.

“I wasn’t paying attention all of a sudden for a moment. Besides, I’m not in such bad shape that the wind can’t blow me down.” A smile appeared on Chuck’s face.

“It’s better to be careful. You don’t know how bad the flu is these days. One of my men, a young guy in his twenties, asked me for a week’s leave after he caught a cold.”

Marina spoke slowly as if she was talking about her daily life.

“That’s because young people nowadays don’t like to exercise, and all they do is sit down daily. It’s normal for them to be in poor health,” said Chuck, smiling.

Grandpa, you are right. So I’m going to do more exercise,” Marina said gently.

“Indeed. You seem to be thinner than before. You must remember to eat while exercising.”

“I’ll remember everything you said.” Marina nodded repeatedly and then half–squatted in front of Chuck.

“Grandpa. I want to hold a wedding with Simon before inheriting the family. What do you think?” said Marina.

“Sure,” said Chuck, nodding when he heard Marina.

There was a glimmer of light in the corners of his eyes.

“Since you think it’s good, let’s start preparing for the wedding, Marina continued.

“Of course,” said Chuck with a nod.

However, his voice was much softer than before.

Marina added, “But I don’t like to attract too much attention, so I don’t want to hold a big wedding.

“When the time comes, we just have to treat everyone in the family to a meal and be the witnesses. Then my wedding will be completed. Do you think that’s good?” said Marina.

Looking at the sleepy Chuck, Marina lowered her voice even more.

“Good. It’s your wedding… You can do whatever you want…” Chuck’s eyes seemed to be unable to open.

However, he was still trying his best to answer Marina’s question.

“I knew Grandpa understood me the best, Marina said gently.

At this moment, Chuck had fallen asleep on his chair.

Marina looked at the aged Chuck.

An indescribable emotion surged in her heart.

Then, she looked down at what Chuck had just hidden.

It was a photograph

The people of their generation were in the photo.

Lambert stood right in the middle of them.

Marina’s throat tightened.

She knew that Chuck had not gotten over Lambert’s death.

Chuck’s heart was still filled with sadness.

Marina carefully carried Chuck to his bed.

Chuck used to be so tall in Marina’s memory, but she did not take much effort to carry him now.

Marina looked at Chuck sleeping in bed.

The emotions in her eyes surged.

After confirming that Chuck was fully asleep. Marina quietly left the room.

Marina instructed the servants to take good care of Chuck.

Then she returned to her room.

Marina sat in her room for a long time and then sent a message to Simon.

There was no response five minutes after the message was sent.

Just as Marina thought Simon hadn’t seen it, her phone suddenly rang.

The screen flashed with Simon’s name.

With a swipe of her finger, Marina answered the phone in front of her.

“Marina, is what you said true?” Marina could feel the excitement hidden in Simon’s tone even through the phone. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Of course, it’s true,” said Marina, enunciating each word.

“But your parents…” Simon wanted to say something, but Marina interrupted him.

“Don’t think about that. Just say one thing. Are you willing to marry me?”

“Of course I do!” Simon answered without any hesitation.

“Good. That’s enough. We can make the wedding arrangements simpler. There’s no need to invite too many people. Only our two families will do.” Marina said.

“Okay. Don’t worry, and leave the matter to me!” Simon did not ask too much and only agreed with Marina gently.

After hanging up. Marina lay weakly on the big bed behind her.

She raised her hand to cover her eyes.

On the other side, Simon looked particularly solemn.

“Mr. Hernandez, what’s the matter?” Gavin asked worriedly.
