Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 472

Carter said everything and looked up at Simon across from him.

Simon looked a little lost as if he hadn’t heard anything.

But Carter left him alone.

He stood up and left the room quietly.

The moment the door closed, Marina and Simon were the only two people left in the room.

Marina looked at Simon beside her.

She could feel a strong sense of sadness and powerlessness coming over Simon.

Marina opened her arms and hugged Simon gently.

“It’s okay. I’ll always be by your side,” said Marina.

This was what Simon had been telling her.

Now, she also wanted to tell him the same.

Simon weakly buried his head in Marina’s shoulder.

“In fact, I had imagined such an ending when I was investigating my mother’s death.” Simon’s voice was extremely hoarse.

“It’s just that I’ve been unwilling to believe it. I would not speculate about him with the utmost malice.

“I always believe he could never do anything to kill his wife, even if there were no feelings between them until the end.

“But it turns out that I overestimated him.”

Simon’s tone was filled with mockery.

“I finally understand why your mother was so mad when she saw me.

“It’s not me she’s mad about but the other half of my blood.”

“Your father is your father, and you are you. The two of you are different people. Why did you put these two things together?” Marina couldn’t help but frown when she heard Simon’s words. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“How can they be different? His blood flows in my body. I have to bear half of his sins.” Simon chuckled.

Watching him look like that was heartbreaking.

“Just because you have his blood in you doesn’t mean you’re like him.

“You’re the best in my eyes.

“You have a tenacity that ordinary people can’t compare to. You have wisdom and ability that surpasses everyone else.

“You’re the person I love. You should believe my vision even if you don’t believe in yourself.

“Simon, don’t question your existence because of what happened to your father.

“You will always be two separate individuals, and I won’t change my mind about you because of these things.”

Marina’s expression was firm.

Simon looked at Marina’s appearance. The emotions in his eyes swayed violently.

He only muttered. Do you think my mother ever regretted it?”

“I believe there are pities, but she shouldn’t regret it. If it weren’t for your father, she wouldn’t have you. Therefore, she definitely won’t regret it,” Marina said after thinking for a moment.

Not all relationships in this world end well.

However, when one experienced that relationship, one’s initial feelings were real.

Even if they fought each other in the end, it would not erase the joy at that time.

There might be pities, but there should be no regrets.

At least she had been so desperate to love a person.

In the end, she fulfilled her wish, which was she wanted to live her life like an ordinary woman.

“Umm…” Simon heard Marina’s words and squeezed out a syllable with his eyes closed.

Marina did not return to the company that day. Instead, she quietly accompanied Simon to sleep.

Perhaps it was because Simon was mentally prepared in the past.

Simon teh it wasn’t so hard to accept it when the truth was revealed.

I was just as Carter had shown

There were some grudges that Simon never was able to avenge in his life.

The following morning

Simon was no longer on the bed when Marina woke up.

Marina immediately got off the bed.

She found him on the balcony in the end.

“Why are you awake so early?” Marina’s voice was still a little hoarse because she had just woken up.

Looking at the confused Marina, Simon reached out and carried her onto his lap.

“Can’t sleep” Marina smuggled gently in his arms.

“I want to go and look at that place, Simon said after a while.

Although he didn’t say it explicitly, Marina already knew where he wanted to go.

“I’ll go with you if you want, Marina said gently.

Okay.” Simon replied in a low voice.

Marina had promised Simon that she would accompany him to the lace, so she had been adjusting her schedule for the next

few days.

Fortunately, Simon had helped Marina deal with a lot of work in the past month.

Therefore, it was not so difficult to adjust her schedule now.

Otherwise, Marina might not be able to find the time.

Three days later, early in the morning.

Marina and Simon boarded the plane.

They did not talk much along the way, but their hands were tightly clenched.

However, that country had long been reduced to ruins.

There was no way for the plane to arrive directly.

Carter had no choice but to bring them down midway, then rent another steamer to go there.

It was not until the afternoon of the next day that the three boarded the small island.

The moment Simon stepped onto the island, he felt an unprecedented emotion in his heart.

Was this where his mother was born and grew up?

Was it a place that his mother had worked hard to protect for her entire life?

Simon looked at the ruins in front of him with mixed feelings.

“The mineral resources have all been excavated by those greedy people, so they quickly withdrew all their men and

resources.

“Without mineral resources, the people here have no incomes.

“So a lot of people left. Gradually, it became a no–man’s–land.” Carter said, looking at the desolate landscape with a pained.

look.

This place was once prosperous back then.

Carter had once wanted to treat this place as his home.

However, the world was unpredictable. He was probably destined to wander.

“I want to take a look around,” Simon said.

Carter nodded and said. “Okay. There should be no one here, and you can walk around. You can call me at any time if you encounter any emergencies.”

“Okay.” Simon replied and led Marina into the island.

As Carter had said, the place had been deserted for a long time.

The buildings on the streets had suffered a crushing defeat.

The streets were littered with trash.

Simon slowly walked.

He seemed to resonate with this land. Looking at the ruins, Simon could always imagine their prosperity.

They walked along the street and arrived at a circular square.

On the square stood a valiant statue.

The moment Simon saw the statue, he immediately stopped.
