Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 222

“Sooner or later, I’ll handle him as well!” Simon’s eyes flickered with a cold, determined gleam.

The intensity of his hatred surpassed even that which he harbored for Ruth.

Marina refrained from probing further.

After all, it was a family affair.

if Simon was unwilling to share, Marina deemed it impolite to press for further information.

“By the way, I might need to leave for a while. If you need to reach me, feel free to leave a message. I’ll respond as soon as I see it,” Simon added.

“Where are you going?” Marina asked instinctively

“Why? Can’t bear to be away from me? If that’s the case, I can take you with me,” Simon suggested, drawing nearer to Marina.

“Who said so? I was simply asking out of politeness. Forget it if you don’t want to tell me.”

“I have a highly significant shipment that has been intercepted at sea. I must handle it personally,” Simon whispered into Marina’s ear, revealing the urgency and significance of the situation.

Marina nodded indifferently.

With a hint of exasperation, she replied, “I never compelled you to divulge the details to me.”

“I know. I chose to confide in you.” Simon chuckled softly, his voice carrying a touch of amusement.

Perhaps it was because the two of them were too close.

Or perhaps, the lights in this corner were too dim.

Marina found Simon’s voice particularly charming.

Moments later, Marina turned around, fixing Simon with an intense, fiery gaze. “Return safely,” she uttered, her words filled with a mixture of concern and longing.

Simon was momentarily taken aback, caught off guard by Marina’s unexpected remark as if he hadn’t anticipated such sentiments from her.

After all, Marina had always been perceived as cold and haughty, making her sudden display of concern all the more surprising.

Such words appeared somewhat uncharacteristically timid.

It didn’t sound like what she would say.

“You must understand that if you wish to be my fiancé, you absolutely cannot afford to lose a limb. I won’t tolerate any injuries either. Scars would make me uneasy,” Marina declared, ignoring his gaze as she pressed on with her conditions.

Simon spoke very casually just now.

However, she was not a naive young lady.

A cargo of such significance, compelling Simon to personally intervene, indicated that it was a matter not easily resolved.

It was likely fraught with considerable danger.

“Is this a beauty pageant?” Simon chuckled, amused by Marina’s tone.

“Beauty pageant? If you aspire to be my fiancé, you must uphold standards far more rigorous than those of a mere beauty pageant,” Marina retorted with

“Got it. I won’t get hurt, and I’ll make sure to come back without any scars. I promise,” Simon assured, a captivating smile lighting up his eyes.

“Okay” Marina subconsciously avoided his gaze.

Otherwise, she felt like she wanted to do something

For example, pressing him against the wall behind her and kissed him deeply.

His smile was too charming.

“By the way, don’t go around smiling like that at everyone, especially girls. Just because you didn’t fall for it this time doesn’t mean you’ll have the same luck next time,” Marina warned.

“I’m a clean freak, and I want you to remember this clearly if you truly want to be my fiancé, Marina stated firmly, enunciating each word with precision. “I can overlook your previous affairs, but I won’t tolerate anything that has been touched by someone else: I have zero tolerance for it.”

“Don’t worry, Marina. I’m completely devoted to you. I’ve never been involved with any other woman besides you,” Simon reassured.

Marina’s words sounded a bit egocentric, however, Simon sounded unusually happy.

Her excessive possessiveness stemmed from her deep love for him

“Who would believe that?” Marina couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Simen was much older than her.

Moreover, he was the head of the Hernandez family.

Given his position, numerous women were throwing themselves at him.

She didn’t believe that he hadn’t touched any of them.

Peter had been dating since kindergarten.

In order to please his kindergarten girlfriend, he even stole his mother’s wedding ring and gave it to her.

After the incident, he was beaten up by his parents.

He almost died.

“It’s ture. If I lied, I’ll be alone for the rest of my life and won’t be able to marry the person I love!” Simon swore.

Marina was speechless.

“This is man’s usual trick,” Marina said.

However, she smiled

Simon didn’t say anything.

He could not bear to look at her. “I don’t know when I’ll be back after I leave this time. Be careful in Janeborough,

“Especially guard agasints Yenny. I think he should have already guessed your true identity. When you meet him, don’t fight him head–on. Just avoid him. We’ll talk about everything when I return.”

Simon’s tone was somewhat serious.

He had yet to find out who the culprit behind the interception of his goods was.

However, he had more or less guessed that it was Yenny’s doing.

“Do you think I’m afraid of him?” Marina raised her eyebrows in disdain.

“I know that if you are to fight openly, you won’t lose. However, he’s sinister, cunning, and extremely shrewd. He’s best at framing people with a smile.

“Back then…” Simon seemed to want to say something, but he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

“In any case, listen to me. If you encounter anything related to Yenny, don’t get into a direct conflict with him. Just avoid him.”

“Alright, I understand.” Forcing a fight was not Marina’s style.

However, Simon had nagged so many times that Marina could not refuse anymore. She could only reply in a low voice.

“Good girl.” After getting an affirmative answer from Marina, the smile on Simon’s face instantly deepened.

“Don’t use such a tone to coax me.” The corner of Marina’s mouth twitched.

“You’re just a kid to me.”

When Marina heard this, she was about to retort when Simon spoke again.

“You can be as naive and happy as a kid in front of me.”

Marina swallow the words she was about to say upon hearing that.

She had once read a book.

“If a man really loves you,” the book said.

“Then he’ll spoil you like a child.”

Marina looked at Simon in front of her, and the emotions in her eyes surged slightly.

After a moment, she spoke. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“If things are tricky, you can contact me. I can help with matters at sea.”

“Wow! Marina! You can even control the sea?” Simon laughed.

However, he did not answer Marina’s question directly.

“You don’t have to treat me like a delicate young lady. I’m not that delicate. I believe you should have learned it.” Marina was not someone who could be fooled with just a few words.

It directly exposed his thoughts.
