Returning With A Thousand Favors By Flora Isabel

Chapter 30

“This one” Gavin lowered his head to take a look at the bag in his hand and then explained, “Miss Bailey gave this to me when she came down. She said that it was a present for me.” 

Simon did not know what to say for now. 

A present? 

How many presents on earth did Marina buy? 

Did she just give a present to whomever she bumped into? 

Gavin was acutely aware that Simon was mad. 

In particular, when Gavin’s gaze settled on the shopping bag in Simon’s hand, he instantly felt that he was in trouble. 

Gavin felt that what Marina gave him was not a present, but a hot potato, which would put him in big trouble! 

“What did she give to you?” Simon asked with slightly narrowed eyes. 

“… I have not seen it yet.” Gavin was too nervous to speak fluently. 

“Open the bag and see what is in it now!” Simon ordered with a stern voice. 

“Okay!” Gavin tore open the present in the bag, tremblingly, 

The present turned out to be a pair of crystal cuff links. 

Under the action of the sun’s rays, the cuff links appeared crystal and shiny. 

They must be worth a lot. 

Clearly, they were a lot more expensive than the tie Marina gave Simon. 

Simon’s face turned a lot sterner than before. 

His dark eyes seemed to be as cold as ice. His gaze just sent a chill down Gavin’s spine. 

Gavin felt that Marina had really caused big trouble for him! 

Gavin felt so bitterly regretful now. He should not have taken the present just now. 

With Gavin’s mind racing, he was trying his best to find a solution. Then, he passed the pair of cuff links to Simon with extreme respect, saying. “Well… Mr. Hernandez, I think the cuff links are quite suitable for you. For someone like me, I do not deserve to wear such good things.” 

“Hmph, this is a present she gave you. Do you think it is appropriate that you give a present from another person to me?” Simon asked in a cold voice. 

Gavin was rendered speechless, dumbfounded. 

“Well!” Gavin raised his hand to pat his forehead hard. He said, “Mr. Hernandez, I got it wrong just now. Miss Bailey actually did not mean to give this to me. Instead, she wanted me to give it to you.” 

As Simon heard that, his puckered lips seemed to be curled a bit. 

“Mr. Hernandez, I will wrap it up for you now.” Cavin immediately took the opportunity to put the cuff links away and pass the bag to Simon with both hands.

Humph 

d turned his head 

Instantly, Gavin felt dizzy 

This time, he must be doomed! 

However, at the moment, Simon, who was sitting in the car, suddenly spoke. 

“The bag 

“What?” Gavin hurriedly turned his head and then came to his senses right away. He passed the bag to Simon with great 

respect. 

Simon took 11. 

Finally, it was quite a relief for Gavin 

After he gave away the hot potato, Gavin let out a sigh and quickly sat in the driver’s seat.. 

He decided to ask Marina why she did this to him when he met her next time. After all, there was no grudge between the 

two of them 

In fact, Marina did not think so much. It was simply because there were too many shopping bags at home. 

So, Marina brought two bags with her when she went out. 

She happened to see Gavin when she arrived downstairs, so she just gave one to him randomly. 

What Marina wanted to do was merely clean up the inventory in her home. She did not know she would cause such trouble 

for Gavin 

After leaving in a fit of pique, Gordon went to the ward. 

Previously, Sophia gave him a call, telling him that she was injured. 

Therefore, he suspended the meeting in a hurry and rushed to the hospital. 

To his surprise, he met Marina halfway, which caused him to arrive late. 

As a result, the moment he pushed open the door and went inside, Sophia looked at him with grievances, her eyes. 

reddened.

“Gordon… Why did it… Take you… So long… to come?” Sophia mumbled. 

“Well, there was a traffic jam, so I got held back,” Gordon said and his eyes flickered. Then, he walked to Sophia quickly. “What’s wrong with you?” 

“It’s… Caroline! She beat me up!” Sophia grabbed Gordon’s hand with excitement and said hurriedly. “Gordon, you must take revenge for me!” 

Because her two front teeth were not implanted yet, Sophia talked in a confusing way. 

It was hard for Gordon to hear what Sophia said clearly, but he still acutely heard the word ‘Caroline‘. 

“You’re saying that Caroline beat you?” Gordon figured out what Sophia said. 

“Yes! It’s her! It’s her! She beat me up!” Sophia kept nodding. 

“It should not be her. Gordon subconsciously wanted to refute Sophia, but upon thinking of what Marina had done recently, he stopped 

If Caroline was still the woman she used to be, Gordon would never believe what Sophia had just said. 

However, now, it might not be necessarily the case. 

Seeing that Gordon was lost in thought, Sophia asked with two front teeth missing. “Gordon, what are you thinking?“

“Nothing. I guess… She still hates me. I’m sorry to have put you through that, Gordon roused himself and explained. 

“Gordon, you… you must do justice for me!” Sophia snapped with her eyes full of hatred. 

“Don’t worry about it. I’ll take care of this!” There was a hint of inexplicable grimness flashing across Gordon’s eyes. 

Marina directly went back to the villa after she got out of the hospital. 

She did not sleep last night. Now, she just wanted to go upstairs and get some sleep, 

Yet, somehow, Marina could not fall asleep as she closed her eyes. 

In the end, she had no other choice but to open her eyes with a cranky expression. 

If she had known this, she should have given him a serious beating when she met Gordon in the hospital. 

She might be able to fall asleep after being worn out. 

It was all Simon’s fault. He should not have shown up at that time and sabotaged her good opportunity to beat Gordon up! 

Marina peevishly picked up the phone next to her. After she tapped on the screen, she was shocked to found that she was still on the call. 

Marina’s expression stiffened at once. 

She suddenly recalled that she actually wanted to contact that guy when she was in the hospital. 

Unexpectedly, Marina suddenly met Gordon and then bumped into Simon. After the present had been given to Simon, she did not pay attention to her phone anymore. 

However, the call was put through and the phone was hung up. 

Marina looked at the phone and noticed that the call lasted more than three hours. She hesitated for a moment and still asked tentatively. 

“Hello?” 

“Yes,” the one on the other side of the line replied almost at once. 

Marina was dumbfounded while she held the phone. 

He replied so fast. Obviously, the call was not put through by accident. 

“The call was picked up by you?” Marina asked.

“Or else?” Simon, on the other side of the line, put down the document and picked up the phone. He leaned back on the chair entirely. 

“Then, why don’t you hang up the phone?” Marina asked. 

“Isn’t you who called me?” Simon replied with a question. 

For the moment, Marina had no idea how to answer the question.

Even if she was the one who made the call, since she said nothing, any normal person would hang up the phone at once. 

She did not expect that he would wait more than three hours for her.
