Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 289

“Do you still remember Jeffery Garcia?” After quite a while, Marina Bailey finally asked in a low voice.

“Are you talking about the Garcia family’s eldest grandson?” Simon Hernandez thought for a moment before replying.

“Yes, that’s him.” Marina nodded.

“What happened to him?” Simon asked, following Marina’s lead.

He didn’t intend to ask anymore initially, but since Marina started this topic, it meant that she was willing to talk.

Since she was willing to tell him, he was willing to listen.

“Our families go back a long way, so Jeffery Garcia and I grew up together, in a sense.”

When Simon heard this, he could not help raising his eyebrows. “You two were childhood sweethearts?”

“Sort of. Marina nodded. However, just as she finished speaking, Simon squeezed her waist.

Marina instantly understood what he meant and looked at him somewhat helplessly.

“I only grew up with Jeffery Garcia. I don’t have any other feelings for him. The person he likes isn’t me.”

“Based on what you’re saying, could it be that you once liked him?” There was a hint of danger in Simon’s tone.

“Do you think that’s possible?” Marina rolled her eyes at Simon.

“It’s hard to say. After all, you said it yourself. You two grew up together. It’s very common for feelings to develop over time,” Simon said vaguely.

Marina was too lazy to explain this topic to him, so she continued to talk about Jeffery Garcia.

The person Jeffery likes is called… Chrislyn Neil. She’s my good friend. The two of them are in love with each other. Do you think I would be so insensible as to be the third party between them?”

“Now that you say this, I believe now that you’ve never liked Jeffery Garcia.” Simon nodded repeatedly when he heard this.

Marina was such a proud character.

She would never lower herself to compete with other women for a man.

Even during the years when she lost her memory, she had never thought of competing with Sophia Rodriguez for Gordon Campbell.

Not only was she a cleanliness freak in her daily life, but she was also a cleanliness freak when it came to relationships.

Moreover, her obsession with cleanliness was even stronger in matters concerning relationships.

She had her own pride.

No matter how much Marina liked a man, she would never lower herself for love.

When she saw that Simon finally looked relieved, Marina continued with her tale.

“Chrislyn Neil isn’t from our circle. Her background is very ordinary. In fact, her background is even more tragic than ordinary people’s.

“Her father was a scumbag who gambled, drank, and fooled around with women. He was a piece of trash who possessed all

the vices.

“As for her mother, she was a dance–hostess when she was young. Later on, she got older and conceived Chrislyn. As she couldn’t bear to terminate the pregnancy, she decided to give birth to Chrislyn.

“It’s just that she doesn’t have good taste. She got attached to a man who can’t give her a stable life.

“So after giving birth, she still had to go back to her old job.

“However, Chrislyn was like an untainted lotus flower. Even though she was born in such a vile environment, she looked particularly pure.

“Normally, people like her wouldn’t have much interaction with us.

“But incidentally, one day, Jeffery Garcia skipped class and went out to play games. He bumped into Chrislyn, who was surrounded by a group of hooligans in the alley.

“It was just like the plot in the novels. The two of them fell in love at first sight.

“From then on, Chrislyn hung out with us.” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Sounds a bit like some idol drama. Simon nodded.

“Not only did their encounter resemble some idol drama a lot, but even the things they experienced after that were particularly similar to idol dramas.” Marina’s expression became exceptionally conflicted when she recalled what happened.

after that.

“How old was Chrislyn when you guys met her?” Simon asked.

“She just started her second year of junior high school.”

“Second year? She started a relationship at such a young age?” Simon raised an eyebrow.

“Adolescent boys and girls are bound to have uncontrollable hormones in their bodies.” Marina did not really have any objection to this matter.

“Well, fine.” Simon nodded.

“But people of your generation probably don’t understand this sort of feeling.” Marina deliberately mocked Simon.

Of his generation?

When Simon heard this, he could not help narrowing his eyes.

“What makes you think I don’t have such an experience? I’ll have you know some people have been tugging at my pant legs and clamoring to become my bride since I was one year old, Simon said in a meaningful tone of voice.”

Marina was incredulous.

“You’re even bragging about things that happened at the age of one. Looks like your love life isn’t that exciting” Marina couldn’t even remember what happened when she was one year old.

“My love lifes indeed not exciting. After all, I promised a little girl since I was young that I would marry her when I grew up.” Simon stared at Marina with blazing eyes.

Marina was rendered speechless.

“Unlike some people who never take their words seriously.

“Sigh! I wonder how many people she has begged to marry her when she was young.

Marina was at a total loss for words.

“Er… Weren’t we talking about Jeffery Garcia?” Marina lost this round very thoroughly, so she diverted the topic with a guilty. expression.

“Weren’t you the one who antagonized me first?” Simon raised his eyebrows.

Marina was dumbstruck once more.

“Gosh! I forgot what I was saying when you interrupted me like that,” Marina retorted in return.

“You said that adolescent boys and girls are bound to have uncontrollable hormones in their bodies.” Simon reminded her helpfully.

“That’s right.” Only then did Marina remember what she had just said. Thereafter, she continued with her tale.

“It was probably because their encounter was filled with romance, so their love for each other developed naturally from there.

“Jeffery brought Chrislyn into our circle. He arranged for her to be transferred to another school and made her his desk mate. He even brought her back to the Garcia family.”

“No one from the Garcia family objected?” Simon was a little surprised.

“As you know, Jeffery is the Garcia family’s only grandson. He’s exceptionally smart, so his grandfather Alfredo Garcia dotes. on him very much.

“What’s more, they were all young at that time. Jeffery only said that it was a little boring to go to school alone and wanted to look for a playmate. Alfredo Garcia naturally wouldn’t turn his request down.

“However, he didn’t expect Jeffery to like Chrislyn so much.

“Jeffery protected Chrislyn very well. He was just a pampered son of a wealthy family who lived like a prince.

“Yet he would remind Chrislyn in a very considerate manner to wear more clothes when the weather was cold and drink more water when the weather was hot.

“On every special holiday, he would take pains to prepare a gift for her.

“He also rejected all other girls‘ feelings for him for her sake.

“To be honest, I was a little impressed by Jeffery back then.

“A pampered son of a wealthy family would actually do so much for love.”
