Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 32

But the girl in his arms was not cooperating at all.

She was not only wrapping her arms tightly around him. Even her legs were firmly around him.

She clung to him tightly as though she had plastered herself to him.

Simon immediately tensed in his entirety.

Gasp….

Simon was cursing and swearing in his heart in his bid to control his raging urge.

The next day when Marina woke in the morning, she felt refreshed and rejuvenated.

Subconsciously, she reached both arms out to stretch her back. However, she suddenly felt like a

heavy hand was placed across her waist, pinning her down.

She instantly opened her eyes, and without becoming fully awake, she swung her fist.

But her fist was only mid–way through the air when someone intercepted her.

“Are you trying to kick down the ladder now that you got what you needed?” a hoarse voice sounded.

Marina lifted her head to look over at the other party. It was him!

Memories of last night immediately surged into her mind.

Instantly, a hint of guilt flashed on Marina’s face.

Slowly, she retracted her arm.

“Pardon me. It was a natural reflex. At that point, I was unable to grasp an understanding of the

situation.”

“You were practically throwing yourself on me last night, with your arms and legs all over me. And you

are calling that natural reflexes?” Simon slowly propped himself up.

He was wearing nothing more than a bathrobe. And the slightest movement instantly revealed his

muscular chest.

Ooh ooh!

Marina could not help but want to reach out and lay her hands on his muscles at the sight of such an

attractive physique.

“Want a feel of it?” Simon seemed to have guessed her thoughts and asked in a low voice.

Even though Marina was awake that morning, she was still semi–conscious. It was like she was in a

trance. During this period, she was unable to think with a clear mind.

So she could only nod instinctively.

“Come, I will let you touch it,” said Simon. Seeing how tame and obedient Marina was, Simon untied

the sash of the robe

and bared his chest.

Marina’s eyes lit up at the sight of Simon’s bare chest.

And her hands slowly found their way to his chest as if they had a mind of their own.

Wow!

It was so firm and muscular. This feeling at Marina’s fingertips was beyond what words could describe!

You like it” Seeing the glow in Marina’s eyes, Simon’s voice deepened an octave lower.

Marina nodded purposefully. She was somewhat in love with the feeling of touching his chest.

“Don’t you want to keep touching it?” Simon’s voice carried a hint of seduction.

Of course, she would love to!

Marina nodded again.

“Then, you should marry me!” The look in Simon’s eyes was so remote and unreadable when he said

this.

However, Marina suddenly snapped out of the trance like someone released from hypnosis.

She looked up at Simon and immediately pulled her hands away.

She even moved aside.

“What is it? You don’t want to?” Seeing Marina’s reaction, Simon asked with his eyes narrowed.

“I am a misogamist!” Marina was completely awake now. Although she was pretty reluctant to break

away from the proximity of the other party, she forced herself to get off the big and comfortable bed.

“Misogamist? A dark look flashed in Simon’s eyes when he heard this word.

“Yes,” Marina said as she nodded.

*So, you only intend to fool around with me? And you are shirking all responsibility after you had your

fill?” Simon ended his questions at a slightly higher pitch.

Ahem.

Marina almost choked on her saliva at what Simon said.

Fool around? Fool around with him!

He made her seem like she was a pervert.

“That… I was not fooling around. At most, I was nothing but hugging you.” Marina coughed to clear her

throat, albeit unnaturally.

Indeed. It was because Marina was too tired last night.

She desperately wanted to sleep!

Anyone under such fatigue would be prone to do something uncommon to one’s usual behavior.

“Nothing but hugging?” Simon questioned. He made sure he emphasized the two words “nothing but“.

His tone sounded like he was resenting an unfaithful lover.

“You should know this. Only my wife can hug me. Only my wife can touch my body,” Simon said with a

burning look as he looked at Marina

Marina was momentarily at a loss for words.

*Did you graduate from a monastery?” Marina chided while trying to suppress the threatening smile at

mouth.

“Wherever the other person touches me. I will cut that part of me off. Simon said in

There was no change in his expression. But Marina could sense that he was not joking at all.

around with hum the night before!

Maria was in a quandary as she found herself at a dead end.

The perplexed expression she wore on her face was unmistakable.

Yet at this moment, she suddenly heard the ringtone of her cell.

Marina instantly felt a compelling order to turn around and pick up the cell that she had carelessly

tossed on the ground last

night.

“I will have to pick up the call first!”

Marina answered the phone without looking carefully at the caller ID.

“Hello!” Marina said, almost with a hint of brightness in her voice.

It did not matter to her who the caller was. Or whether it was a scam call.

She was thankful to the caller all the same!

“Is this Carol?” But the next moment, a somewhat old and frail voice came from the other end of the

line.

The smile on Marina’s face froze instantaneously

It was….

“It’s me, Grandpa,” the man on the other end of the line said.

Grandpa?

The grandpa she knew had a loud and energetic voice. He would not sound so weak and sickly.

Was it a scam call?

“Carol, Gordon told me you saved my life. Thank you for putting aside your past grudges to save this

old guy. I am feeling much better now and would like to invite you to dinner. So, just wondering if you

have some time to spare?”

The person on the other end of the line could have guessed that Marina did not quite recognize who he

was right away.

So he was subtly dropping hints about who he was.

Gordon?

This man had to be Gordon’s grandfather!

The expression on Marina’s face froze. At this point, she honestly wished it was a scam call instead.

But just as she was about to reject the dinner invitation, her eyes unknowingly fell on Simon, who was

still on the bed.

She did find the people of the Campbell family repulsive.

But at this moment, the dinner invitation was the best opportunity for her to make her escape.

“All right. Send me the address,” Marina said after weighing her options. She decided that it was still

better to face the annoying Campbell family.

She could still confront them upfront if anyone upset her after all.

But she would feel guilty, albeit how little or how much if she were to beat up the person right before

her.

“The elderly man is inviting me to dinner. We will talk about us another day.” Marina picked up her coat, NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
