Chapter 370

Listening to Simon’s words, Marina carefully distinguished the scribbles on the paper.

It was actually as Simon had said.

“Is my mother also looking for treasure? But why haven’t I heard of it before?” Marina frowned.

Simon was still staring at the paper in his hand.

“My mother majored in archaeology. Is she interested in this?” Marina whispered.

Meanwhile, Simon put down the paper in his hand.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke.

“Maybe your mother isn’t interested in this treasure. She is probably trying to track down my mother’s identity” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“What… did you say?” Marina was stunned.

“I went to Solemwood previously for the key to the treasure.

“Ever since I grew up, I’ve felt that the cause of my mother’s death seemed a little off.

“That’s why I’ve been investigating her all these years. It’s just that this matter involved many things. Until now, the only thing I can be sure of is that the Akister Treasure might be related to my mother,” Simon explained.

“How is your mother related to Akister’s treasure?” Marina frowned.

“I don’t know if you’ve heard of it, but the reason our Hernandez family was able to advance to the Four Families was that our family suddenly had the support of a mysterious power,” Simon said slowly.

“I’ve heard of it.” Marina nodded.

“That mysterious power… I suspect it came from the Akister Treasure,” Simon said firmly.

“What?” Marina was even more shocked.

“I’m not too sure about the rest, but the only thing I’m sure of is that if I find the Akister Treasure, I might be able to solve the mystery of my mother’s death back then.” Simon said in a low voice.

Marina suddenly remembered the key that Simon had given her previously.

“Since the key is so important to you, why did you give it to me before?” Marina asked.

“It’s precisely because that thing is very important to me that I want to give it to you,” Simon said in a deep voice.

“You’re really…” Marina did not know how to answer.

Then, she raised her head and looked him in the eyes. “Don’t tell me you have already had your eyes on me since then?”

“Even earlier than that.” Simon looked at Marina with a burning gaze.

“Earlier? It can’t be the first time we met in Solemwood, right?” Marina raised her eyebrows.

“Solemwood? Even earlier than that.” Simon lowered his voice.

“Huh?” Marina sounded a little confused.

Simon looked at her helplessly.

He raised his hand and gently tapped her forehead.

“What are you doing?” Marina covered her head.

“It’s nothing. I just want to poke you and see if your memory can improve.” Simon snorted.

“My memory has always been very good. Don’t talk nonsense!” Marina was dissatisfied.

“Then why don’t you remember what you did to me?” Simon suddenly leaned over to her.

The distance between the two of them was instantly pulled closer.

Their breaths intertwined as their gazes met.

Marina could clearly feel her heart pounding.

“What… did I do to you?” Marina blinked her eyes in confusion.

*Think about it yourself,” Simon said unhappily.

“I can’t remember.” Simon had told her this before.

However, she had never recalled what had happened before this.

The only thing she remembered was that she was injured and had lost her memory. That was when she had that ridiculous night with him in

Solemwood.

However, they had never met before, right?

In any case, he did not exist in her memory.

“Forget it if you can’t remember, Simon insisted on keeping it from her.

He was not willing to reveal anything at all.

Marina was speechless.

“What a tight–lipped fella,” Marina mumbled.

“What did you say?” Simon asked as he squinted his eyes.

“I didn’t say anything” Marina immediately shook her head.

When she returned, she would investigate what had happened to them when they were young.

Simon squinted his eyes as he looked at her.

“By the way, if you want to continue searching for Akister’s treasure, perhaps I can help you!” Marina immediately changed the topic.

“Help me?” Simon frowned.

“That’s right. We have already collected two keys. There are only three left. I can gather some information for you. When the time comes, we will go and find the cause of your mother’s death together,” Marina said.

“No” However, Simon rejected her.

“Why?” Marina frowned.

“This matter is very dangerous. Many forces in the country are investigating this treasure.

“If you participate, you might encounter danger.

“I appreciate your kindness, but let me handle this matter myself,” Simon said.

“Look at what you’re saying. Am I that kind of weak little girl to you?

“You should know that I was the one who saved you when you were in danger.” Marina snorted.

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

“No buts. No one can change what I’ve decided.

“Even if you disagree with me investigating with you now, I’ll investigate it myself when the time comes.

“If that’s the case, you might be even more worried.” A sly smile appeared on Marina’s face.

Simon was at a loss for words.

“You…” Simon sighed helplessly.

“Alright, it’s settled.” Marina made the decision.

In order to prevent Simon from dwelling on this matter, she could only change the topic again.

This time it was about something which was coming up.

“By the way, my grandfather’s birthday banquet is in a week. You told me before that you wanted to propose to me at my grandfather’s birthday banquet officially. Are your still planning to do this?”

“Of course!” Simon replied without hesitation.

“But my mother. Marina thought of her mother’s attitude and felt troubled.

However, she quickly suppressed the emotions deep down her.

“Forget it. I don’t think she’ll make things too difficult for you.

“Anyway, my grandfather has already agreed. You can come if

you want.”

“You don’t have to worry about me. I’ll take care of these things.” Simon’s voice became gentler.

“Alright!” Marina nodded.

Soon, it was another day.

Manna headed back to the Bailey family from Simon’s office.

After all, Chuck’s birthday banquet was around the corner.

There was still a lot of work to do at home.

Even if Marina did not like to work, she had to go back and help.
