Returning With A Thousand Favors novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29

“Carol‘ 

Hearing that name, Marina still did not mean to stop. 

However, Gordon strode forward and directly stood in front of her. 

“Great barkers are no biters. Just get out of my way!” Marina snapped with her brows knitted heavily. 

The annoyance in her eyes was rather obvious. 

The phone screen also showed the call was successfully put through. 

Gordon looked at Marina’s face with anger seething in his eyes, but he still held back his temper. 

“Carol…” Yet, the moment he started speaking, he was interrupted by Marina. 

“Lee, if he ever calls me by this name again, just break his teeth!” Marina said to Lee. 

“Yes!” Lee cast a fierce glance at Gordon. 

“I mean no harm. I just want to have a talk with you.” Gordon took a deep breath and said. 

There is nothing to talk about.” Marina’s voice was rather cold. 

After saying that, she intended to go around him and leave. 

However, Gordon subconsciously wanted to grab her hand. 

But Marina acted fast and directly leaned aside to dodge his hand. 

That was really close. If she was really grabbed by him, she felt that she would have to wash her hands with disinfectant. 

“Lee, break his legs as long as he stays within a 3–foot radius of me!” Marina gave Lee an order. 

“Yes!” Lee’s eyes got colder than before. 

Gordon looked at Lee in front of him and his face completely darkened with grimness. 

“When on earth will you stop messing around?” 

Well, since Marina appeared, Gordon had thought she was acting out. 

you wanted 

“Back then, it was you who agreed to pretend to marry me. It was you who offered to do me a favor. Afterward, to leave. I also tried my best to make it up to you, but you refused to take it!” Gordon raised his hand to pull his tie in front 

of his chest. 

These days, Marina’s figure just kept springing into his mind subconsciously. 

He would even fall into a trance once in a while when he talked with Sophia. 

In his eyes, it must be because Marina left without taking anything with her. 

As a result, he felt that he owed her something. It was because she had to depend on men now that he could not get over her.

Gordon believed that as long as he made it up to her properly, he would definitely not think about her again in the future!

“You are good at medical skills. You know, I have some connections. If you do not want money as compensation, I can get you a good job. There is no need for you to rely on other people, Gordon said in a deep voice. 

After he got her a job, they would be thoroughly square for real. 

However, Marina could not help giving a chuckle upon hearing what he said. 

“You will get a job for me?” Marina seemed to have heard a big joke. 

“What is bad about relying on yourself? When you were with me, weren’t you very independent back then?” Gordon misunderstood what Marma meant. 

In his eyes, Marina just wanted to indulge in a life of pleasure and comfort. She did not feel like working at all. 

Gordon was really mad that Marina had no ambition at all. 

This made Marina so angry that she really wished to smash Gordon’s hypocritical face when someone put their strong arm around her shoulders all of a sudden. 

Marina turned her head only to see Simon’s extremely handsome face. 

Simon lowered his eyes to crack a smile at Marina. The next moment, he raised his head and looked at Gordon. 

Simon pulled a long face with grimness at once. 

“Marina does not have to work when she is with me. I’m happy that she is reliant on me all the time,” Simon said. 

Gordon looked at Simon’s hand which was put around Marina’s shoulders and instantly gnashed his teeth more tightly. 

All of a sudden, he felt that he was really a bit ridiculous. 

Sophia was right. Caroline was no longer the girl she used to be back then. 

Gordon tried his best to help her out. 

On the contrary, she was actually happy with her current life. 

It was Peter yesterday. Today, it was this man who was so mysterious that even Gordon’s father had to treat him with caution. 

“You are playing with fire!” Gordon stared at Marina and yelled at her, his eyes sparkling. 

“You are in no position to meddle in my affairs. Just mind your own crappy business,” Marina said with an annoyed face. 

Gordon gazed at Simon with narrowed eyes for a while and then left with a livid face. 

After Gordon disappeared from the end of the corridor, Marina looked up at the man next to her with an aloof expression. 

“When will you stop holding my shoulders?” she asked in a cold tone. 

Simon withdrew his hand slowly and said, “I’ve sort of helped you out just now, right?” 

He looked a bit reluctant to do that. 

“Only if I am in trouble do I need someone to help me out. Do you think I was in trouble and needed you to help me out just now?” Marina snorted. 

“You did not need that indeed. It is just that my appearance helped you get rid of him faster, right?” Simon answered. 

“I can not believe you would try to take credit for that. You’re so thick–skinned,” Marina retorted mercilessly. 

Simon slightly lowered his voice and then leaned toward Marina, asking. “Would you like to feel my skin on your own?” 

Their distance was drawn closer at once. 

Chapter 29 

Marina meant to ask him to get the hell away from her. 

Yet, she suddenly smelled a fresh fragrance. 

Originally, she had a headache because she didn’t sleep well last night. Now, she felt a lot better. 

“What on earth do you have on your body? Marina gazed at him and asked. 

Simon did not understand her words for the moment. He asked, “What do you mean?” 

Marina leaned forward again to raise her head and sniff around his neck carefully. 

It looked as if she threw herself at him voluntarily. 

As she approached him, her beautiful hair swept across Simon’s face by accident. 

The itchy feeling made Simon’s eyes somewhat darker. 

Yet, as he intended to hold the woman next to him, she just stepped back quickly. 

Simon’s hand stopped in the air. 

Then, he put his hand behind his back with feigned calmness, 

It seemed that Marina did not feel how intimate and inappropriate her behavior was just now 

She still maintained an aloof and cold look as usual. 

Then, Marina reached out her hand and Lee brought her a shopping bag at once. 

“Here you are.” Marina passed the bag to Simon. 

“What is this?” Simon felt rather confused. 

“It is a gift in return for the blanket.” Marina explained. 

“You’ve got it ready so fast?” Simon took it with intrigue and then asked. “Can I take a look at it now?” 

“It is up to you,” Marina replied with a casual expression. 

After all, she picked the present up randomly. 

Simon opened the bag only to find there was a dark striped tie in it. 

Instantly. Simon tucked the corners of his mouth into a little smile. “I like it.” 

“I’m glad that you like it, Marina replied. Now that she had given the present to him, Marina did not have to stay anymore. 

Then, she just turned around and left. 

Simon just kept watching her until she faded from his view. 

Half an hour passed. 

Simon got out of the hospital building. 

Gavin hastened to go forward with respect and greeted Simon, “Mr. Hernandez.”

“Umm, Simon replied. Meanwhile, his gaze subconsciously settled on the shopping bag in Gavin’s hand. 

The logo of the bag was the same as the logo of the bag in Gavin’s hand. 

His face darkened at once. He asked sternly, “Who gave you this?“
