Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 336

Chapter 336

“Desserts should not only taste good but also look good. If they are unattractive, you won’t have any appetite, right? Daisy confidently expressed her opinion.

Marina finally shifted her gaze to the nearby table.

The three plates of pastries on the table all seemed almost identical to her.

Just as she was unsure of what to say, her phone suddenly rang.

Marina glanced at the caller ID, and her eyes lit up.

She immediately raised her phone and signaled to Daisy.

“Aunt Daisy, I have something important to attend to. You can take a look for now, and I’ll come back to check on it after I finish dealing with my matter.”

After saying that, Marina didn’t wait for Daisy’s reply and immediately left with her phone in her hand.

“Hey… Daisy wanted to stop Marina, but she was already far away.

“What could be so urgent for that girl?”

Daisy muttered to herself. Nonetheless, she didn’t say anything further and continued discussing the menu with the

manager.

Meanwhile. Marina found a secluded spot and then answered the phone call.

“Hello,” Marina’s voice carried a hint of relief.

“What’s wrong?” Simon noticed her unusual tone on the other end of the line.

“You called at just the right time. Otherwise, I feel like my head would explode,” Marina recounted her ordeal to Simon.

Simon could not help but chuckle after hearing this.

“I thought no one could ever get the better of you. It turns out you’re quite afraid of your Aunt Daisy,” he said as if he had discovered something particularly intriguing.

“It’s not exactly fear… It’s just that my Aunt Daisy is quite challenging to deal with,” Marina sighed deeply.

The Bailey family had more male family members than female family members.

In the previous generation, Aunt Daisy was the only daughter.

In Marina’s generation, she was the only granddaughter.

However, Aunt Daisy had stayed in the Bailey family for so many years before Marina.

She enjoyed favoritism for a long time.

Naturally, her influence and power far surpassed Marina’s.

Therefore, most of the time, Marina often avoided getting into arguments with Daisy.

After all, Daisy had more experience in arguments.

Simon chuckled even more upon hearing Marina’s helplessness in her tone.

“Do you want me to come and pick you up?” he offered.

“Have you finished all your tasks?” Marina’s eyes lit up at his suggestion.

There are still a few things left, but even with all the tasks, I can’t let my fiancée suffer alone,” Simon replied with deep

affection.

“Then come over. I’ll send you the address,” Marina agreed without hesitation.

To be honest, she simply didn’t have the patience to differentiate between a dozen similar pastries and dishes.

It would be much more difficult for her than going on a mission.

After Simon uttered the words “Wait for me,” he hung up the phone immediately.

Marina didn’t rush to leave either.

She leaned against the wall nonchalantly.

In truth, waiting for someone was something she disliked the most.

However, for some reason, if that person happened to be Simon, it didn’t feel as irritating.

In fact, she even felt a hint of anticipation. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

While waiting for Marina to return, Daisy grew impatient.

She decided to get up and looked for her.

Meanwhile, Simon had already arrived outside the hotel.

He called Marina, instructing her to come out.

Marina’s face brightened, and she quickly put away her phone and headed toward the hotel.

Just as she ran out, Daisy happened to witness the scene.

She wanted to call out to Marina, but Marina didn’t even notice her presence.

She swiftly ran out without a second thought.

“What kind of person could make her so anxious?” Daisy followed with a puzzled expression.

After all, her niece had always remained calm and composed, even in the face of adversity.

Daisy believed that it was because of her own busy work schedule that she couldn’t keep Marina by her side, causing her to grow up among a group of men.

That kind of upbringing might have shaped Marina’s tomboyish personality.

Hence, it was rare to see such a feminine expression on Marina’s face.

Daisy naturally wanted to follow and find out what was going on.

As soon as Marina came out of the hotel, she saw Simon standing at the entrance, waiting for her.

Without a second thought, she ran towards him.

Simon naturally opened his arms.

Then, Marina dove into his embrace.

She buried her head in his chest and took a deep breath.

Mmmmin…

‘Finally, I feel alive again…” Marina murmured.

“Is it that dramatic?” Simon chuckled, looking at Marina’s expression.

“You have no idea how difficult this job is. It’s even more challenging than finding faults in pictures. You’re not there, so it’s easy for you to make light of it.

“Next time, you should try it yourself, and then you’ll understand how unbearable it is. I guarantee you’ll find it even harder than me.” Marina grumbled.

“With your current attitude, it seems like I can’t entrust these matters to you when we get married,” Simon said with his lips slightly parted.

“Married?” Marina suddenly looked up upon hearing those words.

“Didn’t I already mention it before? I officially inform your family that I will marry you during your grandfather’s birthday celebration. Or do you only want to toy with me and not marry me?” Simon stared at her intently.

Marina was stunned for a moment.

“I didn’t remember it for a moment…” Marina snapped back to reality.

“You didn’t remember?” Simon’s gaze turned unsettling upon hearing her words.

Oops…

Marina realized she had misspoken and quickly tried to rectify her statement.

“I didn’t intentionally forget. It’s just that there have been so many things happening recently that I accidentally pushed this matter aside.

“Well, now that you kicked my memory, I remembered, Marina explained, trying to appear sincere.

“Alright, I understand. Are you hungry? Shall we go and grab something to eat?” Simon didn’t really want to dwell on the issue with Marina.

“Yes!” Marina nodded heavily.

At this point, as long as she didn’t have to go back and scrutinize the menu, she was willing to go along with anything.

“Let’s go then!” Simon chivalrously opened the car door for Marina.

Marina got in swiftly.

Simon gently closed the door before making his way to the other side.

After the car had driven away, Daisy remained standing in the same spot, unable to snap out of her thoughts.

What did she just see?

Her well–behaved and adorable niece had actually thrown herself into a man’s arms like a little girl!

And why did that man look so familiar?

Daisy squinted her eyes and pondered for a while, but she couldn’t recall where she had seen him before.

Just as she was about 10 turn back, a spark of realization suddenly lit up in her mind..
