Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 113

“You saw it with your own eyes. Simon said with an air of certainty.

“How did you make my grandfather agree to your proposal?” Marina stared at Simon without blinking at

all.

I told him that we were so in love that I wouldn’t marry anyone else but you. Grandpa Chuck probably

gave in because he saw how devoted I was,” said Simon in a relaxed tone.

Who are you trying to fool?” Marina rolled her eyes.

She knew her grandfather’s temper all too well.

He would never marry his granddaughter off just upon hearing those two sentences.

“Marina, I never lie to you. Simon looked at her with a steady gaze.

For some reason, Marina felt a little uneasy under Simon’s gaze.

She immediately looked away.

Simon also noticed what was missing from Marina’s finger.

“Where’s that golden ring I gave you?” Simon asked.

“It wasn’t convenient for me to wear it all the time, so I took it off, Marina replied calmly.

“Indeed.” Simon nodded.

“You look a little haggard. How have you slept recently?” Simon’s fingers gently touched the area under

Marina’s eyes.

There was a faint trace of dark circles under her eyes.

“It was… Okay. The two of them were standing so close that the refreshing fragrance on Simon’s body

instantly surrounded

Marina.

Suddenly, a strong drowsiness swept over her.

Since Simon had left, Marina had hardly enjoyed a full night’s sleep.

Now that Simon was here, the sleepiness that had been intentionally suppressed before rushed up all

at once.

“Do you want to take a nap first?” Simon asked softly.

Marina really wanted to say no.

After all, there were still many questions she needed answers for.

But her eyelids were out of her control, and her head drooped down involuntarily as well.

She gave Simon a nod.

“Do you want to go to your room?” Simon asked.

Marina was like a walking corpse as she brought Simon to her room through the rear entrance.

Then, she dragged Simon straight to the big bed in the room

With a thud, she pushed Simon onto her bed and pressed her entire body against him like an octopus.

“Hmm…

“This smell…

This feeling… is just right.” Marina thought.

Almost instantly, her breathing became even.

Simon, who was pressed onto the bed, could not help but chuckle.

He raised his hand and gently stroked Marina’s back.

It occurred to him that being a cushion for Marina was actually a rewarding role.

“However, just how tired had this girl been?

“She fell asleep as soon as she was in my arms,” Simon thought.

Marina slept soundly from morning to afternoon.

When she woke up, it was already completely dark outside.

She turned her head and saw Simon sitting by the bed.

And she was still hugging him tightly.

Marina was completely stunned.

Even the air seemed to freeze when their eyes met.

“Oh My God!

This guy is simply like a drug. As soon as I am near him, I can’t get enough of it.

“I even missed the best opportunity to question him, Marina thought.

“You’re still not awake? You’ve slept for so long. Get up and eat something, or your stomach will suffer.

Simon put down his phone and said while looking at Marina, who had been staring at him.

Marina quickly got up from the bed.

However, after getting out of bed, she suddenly realized something.

This was her house. Why was this guy acting like he was the owner? Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“You should leave from the back door. My family is very traditional. If my grandfather finds out that

you’ve been in my bedroom for so long, he’ll definitely give you a lesson!” Marina spoke firmly.

“But I think they already know,” Simon said casually.

“What? How is that possible? I brought you in through the back door!” Marina tried to remain calm.

“Because your grandpa has already knocked on the door three times, Simon explained,

“What? Knocked on the door?” Marina’s pupils suddenly dilated.

Yes, Grandpa Chuck wanted to tell you dinner was ready. I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I

didn’t wake you up,” Simon said.

“You, you… you talked to grandpa?” Marina gritted her teeth

Yeah. Grandpa Chuck knocked on the door so many times. If I don’t respond, wouldn’t it be a little

rude?” Simon said innocently.

Marina was completely speechless.

“Why does it feel like that this guy did it on purpose?” she thought.

“Let’s go. Grandpa Chuck seems to be waiting for us to have dinner. It’s time to go downstairs,” Simon

said, checking the time and adjusting his clothes before leading Marina downstairs.

Marina struggled to withdraw her hand, but Simon suddenly stopped.

“Marina, you just used me as a pillow. How come now that you are awake, you’re so cold to me?”

Simon asked.

“L…” Marina was about to explain, but then she caught sight of her grandfather standing not far away.

Chuck was staring at them with his mouth agape.

Marina was dumbfounded.

“Grandpa, please don’t misunderstand. It’s not what you think. We…” Marina tried to explain.

But Chuck immediately covered his ears with his hands.

“I don’t want to hear it. It’s too graphic. It’ll hurt my eyes!”

Marina was speechless again.

“Grandpa, it won’t hurt your eyes unless you’ve been peeking. Marina reminded him reluctantly.

“Peck? I didn’t peek at all. I didn’t know that you were hugging Simon like a koala bear. One couldn’t

even separate you two by force.” Chuck waved his hand jokingly.

Marina didn’t know what to say again.

That was a lot of details for someone to know without peeking.

“Grandpa!” Marina’s tone became a bit angry.

“Alright, alright. You children can settle your own matters. I know you’re both young and energetic, and

you can both get a little lustful. However, moderation is important for young couples. Otherwise, it’ll be

very uncomfortable when you’re old…”

Chuck spoke as if he had been through this before.

Marina was completely at a loss for words.

Why did she feel like she was the one who needed to wash her eyes?

“Grandpa, Marina slept all day and should be hungry.” Simon, who was standing beside them, glanced

at Marina and spoke gently.

I had the kitchen save some food for you. You can go eat. I’ve already eaten, so I won’t be there to

thirdwheel you two.” Mr. Bailey said before walking back on his cane to his room with a smile on his

face.

Marina was completely speechless.

“So it really wasn’t a dream.

‘Is grandpa really treating Simon as his grandson–in–law?”

Marina thought while shifting her inquisitive gaze to Simon again.
