Returning With A Thousand Favors

Marina watched the video of Jessica’s acceptance speech, lost in thought for a long time.

It was not until Simon approached and called her that she came back to her senses.

“What’s wrong?” Simon asked with some confusion.

Marina shook her head. “It’s nothing.”

She had always been reluctant to mention the memories of her time in Solemwood after losing her memory due to an injury.

Because she felt that those memories were too humiliating for her.

However, now she felt that she should be grateful for that experience.

If she had not lost her memory, she would not have met Jessica.

She would not have had such a genuine friend.

In this world with billions of people, the probability of encountering true friends that care about each other was incredibly low.

Yet, she not only found a lover but also had a good friend like Jessica.

She felt that she was truly blessed.

After Peter finished sending the video, he leaned against the wall in silence.

Then, he slowly closed his eyes.

The image of Jessica talking about Marina’s impact on her kept playing in his mind.

Her eyes were so bright and full of joy.

If the incident in the past had not happened, would she also mention him in her speech today?

Would she mention him like how she talked about Marina?

There was a high chance that she would.

But all of that was ruined by his own hands.

A bitter smile appeared on Peter’s lips, but he quickly suppressed it.

At least Jessica was growing well now.

She could confidently stand before people and express herself freely.

She had even reconciled with her past and accepted her origins.

The new Jessica was finally emerging.

Peter’s heart was also filled with gratitude.

After the award ceremony, there was still an award banquet.

As this year’s prize winner, Jessica naturally became the center of attention at the banquet.

People queued up to invite her to dance, and the invitations were endless.

In the end, Jessica became exhausted and had to explain to the gentlemen coming forward for the invitation that her feet were hurting.

While the guys were disappointed, they did not insist.

And one after another, the men approached Jessica, seeking her contact information.

At first, she did not realize the seriousness of the situation.

When the first man asked for her contact, she graciously gave it to him.

Consequently, as each person came forward, Jessica found herself agreeing to provide her contact information.

By the end of the night, Marina’s phone was filled with contacts from numerous strangers.

All of them enthusiastically invited her to enter romantic relationships.

In this city, known for its emphasis on romance, love was passionate and sincere.

Despite having spent almost three years in this place, Jessica still found it challenging to adapt to their forthrightness and

openness.

She casually mentioned that she would be returning to her home country soon and had no plans for romance at the

moment.

However, even after stating this, many people expressed their willingness to wait for her to change her mind.

Some even offered to go back to her home country with her.

Overwhelmed by the attention. Jessica slipped away secretly from the banquet.

In the car.

With a smile on his face, Karter looked at Jessica in the back seat, who seemed a bit startled.

“Now, do you truly feel the romance of the men in our country?”

“I not only feel it, but I also feel really frightened!” Jessica raised her hand to massage a little between her eyebrows.

Earlier, she had no choice but to have a few drinks, and now her head was still a bit dizzy.

“If you stay here for a while longer, you’ll be able to get used to it. You have to know that people in our country can’t live without love.” Karter raised her voice.

“Well, but I can live with it, replied Jessica firmly.

“No, Jessi. Everyone needs love, and it’s not limited by borders. I have always thought that you really need a romantic relationship to nourish yourself.

“Today, at the banquet, most of the people were top figures in the industry, and among them, there were many worth considering for a deeper relationship.

“If you’re indecisive, you can give them all a try and then choose the most suitable one.” Karter’s words were shocking.

Jessica was surprised by his words.

“How is this romantic? You’re just messing around.” Jessica shook her head.

“How can that be? You have to know that in a good relationship, besides mutual admiration, the most crucial thing is to be compatible in bed.

“And that’s something you can’t see without experiencing it yourself. So, you should give it a try.” Karter did not see anything wrong with his perspective.

Jessica could not react to Karter’s statement right away.

“I have high standards for relationships, and I can’t accept such a thing.” Jessica firmly refused.

“Jessi, you’re living too repressively. Sometimes you should learn to release stress.” Karter raised his voice.

“I don’t want to get involved in some messy relationships. I’m content with my life as it is now, and I don’t want to start a new romance at this stage.” Jessica firmly declined.

Feeling Jessica’s determination, Karter did not press the matter any further.

He had just spoken casually and felt that Jessica was overly cautious when it came to relationships.

In fact, many people at school had shown interest in Jessica, but she had turned them all down.

Gradually, everyone learned that this intelligent and beautiful girl from Calirina was not interested in romantic relationships, so no one made any more advances. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“By the way, Jessi, are you really determined to go back home? I still think it’s better for you to stay here. After all, our science research environment is much better than your home country’s.” Karter invited Jessica sincerely.

“Sorry, I have already promised my friend, and I will return home as soon as possible.” Jessica replied almost without any

hesitation.

“Well, actually, I already knew the answer when I asked. After listening to your acceptance speech just now, I felt that no matter how favorable the conditions I could offer, you would not stay.” Karter’s tone was filled with regret.

“Although I can’t stay here to work with you, we can keep in touch, and you’re welcome to visit Calirina whenever you have the time,” said Jessica with a smile.

“Alright, to be honest, I’m very curious about that friend you mentioned. What kind of person is she that made go back no matter what?”

“You won’t be disappointed after meeting her. When Jessica thought of Marina, the expression on her face softened.

“By the way, you can stop at the next intersection. I live in the building across the street,” said Jessica as the car reached her place.
