The emotions on Simon’s face flickered a little.
Realizing that there were only the two of them, him and Marina, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“Although it’s a little challenging, it’s still manageable…” For Simon to say such words, it already meant that the difficulty was beyond ordinary.
“I think I need to remind you that your most difficult days are yet to come.” Marina’s red lips parted slightly, saying.
“What do you mean?” Simon turned to look at her.
“You probably underestimated my dad’s obsession with chess. This time, you managed to win without him realizing you were going easy on him.
“But this is not the end, it is just the beginning!
“At least for the next six months, you’ll probably get calls from my dad every day and talk about his invitation to play chess with
you.”
“Six months?” Simon’s mouth twitched upon hearing the timeframe.
“That is a conservative estimate. If during this period, you accidentally reveal your true abilities to my dad.
“Letting him find out that you went easy on him on purpose, you might not be able to live in peace for a couple of years. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
“Of course, I hope you can have the intelligence to keep letting my dad win without leaving any traces.
“Then the frequency might be a little reduced.” Marina added.
Upon hearing this, the expression on Simon’s face brightened up.
“How much less frequent is ‘a little reduced?” Simon asked eagerly.
“It would probably go from once a day to once every two days.” Thinking for a while, Marina replied.
The answer made Simon speechless.
“That’s why I told you not to play chess with my dad, but you did not listen, and now you regret it.” Marina shrugged.
Simon thought for a moment.
H
I don’t regret it. It’s my honor to play chess with my future dad–in–law!” Simon emphasized each word.
However, whether his words were meant for Marina to hear or for himself was open to interpretation.
After showing a strong will about her relationship with Simon to her parents, Marina enjoyed a few peaceful days.
She did not dare to go home at the moment and instead asked her father about her mother’s mood every day.
But every time, she received news of her mother being upset.
Marina felt helpless and began her days of sighing about the matter while texting on the phone.
One day.
Marina received a call from Jessica Rodriguez.
She said that she wanted Marina to accompany her to choose a car.
Marina had nothing else to do, so she went out directly.
At the car dealer.
Marina accompanied Jessica as they looked around.
“Don’t you like any of these? I thought the car in front was not bad.” Jessica had been looking around for a while and showed no intention of stopping. Marina reminded her.
“That car is too expensive. I just want to buy a practical car for myself, one that costs around 20,000 dollars or so.” Jessica stated her requirements.

“Around 20,000 dollars? Is Peter Moore that stingy with you? I remember there are quite a few limited– edition sports cars in his garage.” Jessica frowned upon hearing this.
“No, it’s just something I want to buy for myself, and he has no idea.” Jessica quickly explained.
When Marina heard this, a hint of puzzlement appeared in her eyes.
“Although we’re getting married, I don’t want to rely on him for everything.
“My salary is quite high now and I usually don’t spend much money. The money in my hands is just enough for a down payment on a
car.
“I have already started taking over projects in the company now. Sometimes I need to go out, and I think it would be more convenient to have my own car. So I went to get a driver’s license some time ago.” Jessica explained with a smile.
“Why don’t you rely on him anymore? After you get married, all his assets will become your shared property.
“You don’t need to keep such a clear account with him.” Marina felt that Jessica was a little too detached.
“I know, but within my capabilities, I can still afford it on my own.
“If one day I want something beyond my ability, I will naturally go to him.” Jessica smiled.
Although her voice was still gentle, the determination in it was unquestionable.
Marina frowned.
She wanted to say something, but the words stopped at the tip of her tongue.
Jessica had indeed grown a lot during this period.
She probably had her own considerations for doing this.
After all, this marriage seemed extremely unmatched to outsiders.
Jessica probably wanted to prove to others that she only loved Peter as a person.
It was not about his money.
In fact, deep down, Marina felt that there was no need for that at all.
Identity, background, and money were all part of Peter.
He could not be separated from them.
After all, everything he had now had been built up with a lot of money spent since childhood.
There was no way to separate them.
What’s more important was that the couple could not be too concerned or clearly divided on such matters.
Otherwise, it would affect their relationship.
However, Marina did not say much at this moment.
After all, the couple had already chosen to get married.
There were many things that needed to be worked out by themselves.
In the end, Jessica still chose a car worth around 20,000 dollars.
She made the down payment.
After signing the contract, she could pick up the car immediately.
When Jessica sat in the driver’s seat, her expression was exceptionally bright.
It was obvious that she was very happy.
Seeing her like this, Marina’s last desire to say something completely dissipated.
As long as Jessica was happy, nothing else mattered.
CA$43
Jessica had just gotten her driver’s license, so she did not drive too fast.
But she was skilled and did not show any signs of fear on her face
The journey was smooth all the way.
It could be seen that she had put a lot of effort into this matter.
Finally, Jessica dropped Marina off at Simon’s place.
“You drive well. I think all my family members will probably enjoy riding in your car” Marina said as she got out of the car.
“Huh?” Jessica’s face showed a hint of confusion.
“It’s nothing. You’ll know in the future” Marina smiled and then reminded her
“Be careful on your way back, and remember to send me a message when you get home.”
“Sure!” Jessica nodded heavily.
Then, she watched as Marina entered the villa
And slowly, she retracted her gaze
She looked around the car with a smile on her face
Her fingers gently brushed over the interior of the cat
The expression on her face was satisfied and joyful
She knew that she might not be strong enough at the moment
And she also seemed unmatched to Peter, but she would get better step by step
She would work hard to make herself outstanding and deserving of that man
Just as Jessica was lost in thought, a sudden and urgent ringtone from her phone rang out.
