Returning With A Thousand Favors By Flora Isabel

Chapter 31 

“I called you simply because I wanted to give the present to you. Unexpectedly, I bumped into you afterward. Then, I just forgot about the call completely.” Marina explained after she pondered in quietness for a while. 

“I know.” Simon replied. 

Marina had forgotten to ask about this. Now, she suddenly recalled this, so she asked, “By the way, what is your relationship with Robert?” 

However, Simon did not answer Marina’s question directly. Instead, he asked, “It is so late. What’s keeping you up?” 

“I can not fall asleep.” Marina knew that Simon did not want to say too much on this matter, so she did not ask further. 

After all, she was just asking. 

It did not matter that he did not want to talk about it. 

“Are you having a problem with insomnia?” Simon lowered his voice when he heard what she had just said. 

“Yeah, I’m having a problem with insomnia.” Marina stared at the ceiling, her eyes wide open. 

It took her great effort to get some good sleep before. Now, she just could not fall asleep again. 

It was nothing that she always could not sleep well before. 

However, after she got to have a good sleep all of a sudden, she found it unacceptable to suffer from insomnia anymore. 

“Close your eyes and don’t think about anything. The voice on the other side of the line seemed to be a bit bewitching. 

Marina closed her eyes instinctively as she was told. 

Nevertheless, a few minutes later, Marina just opened her eyes again. 

Her eyes were full of frustration. 

Still, she just could not fall asleep at all! 

She was actually rather sleepy and physically very tired now. 

However, her mind just kept racing. 

“Can 

you 

lend your body to me a bit?” Marina suddenly made such a request. 

Simon was rendered speechless. 

There was silence on the other side of the line all of a sudden. 

“Hello? Are you still there?” Marina could not get any response after she waited for a while. She tapped on the phone screen only to find that the phone wasn’t hung up at all. 

“Yes.” Marina finally got a response. 

“Where are you? I will go to you now.” Marina had made a decision, so her tone was rather hasty. 

Silence reigned on the other side of the line again. 

Marina felt rather confused. 

Since when did the connection in Solemwood become so bad? 

Chapter 31 

Why was Simon breaking up again and again! 

Well, she decided to check it on her own. 

Then, Marina directly hung up the phone and picked up the laptop next to her. 

She turned on the laptop and started to tap on the keyboard swiftly 

Within a while. Marina gained an address. 

Then, she quickly got up and took a coat from her wardrobe. After she put it on, she got out of the door in a hurry. 

And she acted carefully, trying not to disturb Oscar and Lee. 

Simon, who was in the hotel, looked at his phone screen. The call had been hung up. 

He was still thinking about what Marina had just said. 

She just said she wanted to borrow his body. 

Simon’s Adam’s apple bobbed instantly. His eyes also darkened. 

He tapped on the desk for a while and then seemed to finally make up his mind. He picked up the phone and walked out of the study. 

“Mr. Hernandez, it is already so late. Will you still go out now?” Gavin immediately asked when he saw Simon walking out of the study. 

“Yeah. Simon replied and then walked to the gate. 

Of course, Gavin also followed after him. 

You do not have to go with me!” Simon suddenly said. 

Gavin glanced at Simon in surprise, but Simon did not look like he was kidding. So, Gavin had to lower his head and reply. 

“Okay.” 

The moment Simon opened the door, he saw the woman standing at the door. 

She was wearing a hoodie and her hair was a mess. 

She also had dark circles and her left hand was hanging in the air. It seemed that she was going to knock on the door. 

“Why are you here?” Simon asked after he was in a daze for a few seconds. 

Seeing the man standing in front of her, Marina acted like a beast that was starving for a long time and finally found its prey. 

She threw herself at him without saying anything. 

Simon was lost for words. 

Gavin was stunned at once. 

Marina buried her head in Simon’s arms. As she smelled his refreshing scent, she felt that all the cells in her body were soothed. 

She wanted to sleep so badly now! 

“Let’s go to your room…” Marina muttered. 

Gavin was astonished. 

Chapter 31 

He looked at the scene in disbelief. 

Simon’s hands, which were hanging in the air, could not help shivering when he heard what Marina had just said. 

“Do you know what you are talking about?” Simon lowered his eyes to look at the woman in his arms and his voice was somewhat husky 

Yet, it seemed that the woman in his arms could not afford to wait anymore, so she urged again, “Take me to your bed?” 

Her voice was fierce and coquettish, which was not menacing at all and yet more seductive. 

Simon’s eyes were even darker. 

He stared at the woman in his arms for a while. Then, he bent down to carry her in his arms. 

Gavin was listening attentively. He did not want to miss any details. 

However, as he raised his head, he just met Simon’s piercingly cold eyes. 

Gavin was rendered speechless. 

“When on earth will you leave?” Simon asked with his voice full of menace 

Gavin replied at once. “Ahem. I will leave right now! Then, he lowered his head and quickly ran off right away. 

Then, he closed the door for them considerately. 

After Gavin left, Simon finally carried Marina into the bedroom. 

He placed her on the bed gently and carefully. 

Marina was still clenching his clothes with her eyes closed. 

“What? Are you shy now?” Simon asked with a grin. 

He started to stroke her face gently. 

Her tender skin was extremely smooth. 

Yet, after waiting for a while, Simon still could not get Marina’s response. 

With a frown, he observed her carefully and found that Marina’s breath was rather steady. Obviously, she had fallen asleep. 

Simon didn’t know what to say for now. 

Was she already asleep? 

Did she regard him as a sleeping pill? 

She just fell asleep upon reaching him. 

During her sleep. Marina felt the refreshing scent had become fainter. She clenched her hands and dragged Simon down 

Then, she stayed in his arms entirely. 

Smelling the refreshing scent, Marina finally loosened her brows. 

Then, she continued sleeping. 

Simon did not know what to say for the time being. 

Now, he seemed to understand what Marina meant by asking him to lend his body to her. 

Marina always thought and acted out of the box. 

Simon couldn’t help thinking. “Does she really believe I’m a man of no desire? 

“She is clinging to me so tightly. Isn’t she afraid that I may do something to her?” 

Eventually, Simon still did not do anything to her. 

He did not have the thing of doing it with a woman during her sleep. 

That night one year ago, he had no other choice but to do that to her. He was already very sorry for her. 

Now, he could not make the same mistake. 

Simon let out a long sigh 

He tried to suppress his urge in this way.
