Chapter 280
When Simon heard this, he immediately let go of Marina.
Then, he looked at her chest anxiously, preparing himself to check her wound.
Marina slapped his hand away.
Simon instantly frowned.
I’m just joking with you. The wound didn’t open,” explained Marina.
“Really?” Simon was still a little worried.
“Of course, it’s true. I wouldn’t lie to you about something like this.” Marina shrugged.
Simon stared at her for a moment. After confirming that there was no stoic expression on her face, he heaved a sigh of
relief.
“By the way, I just taught your nephew a lesson. He probably didn’t mean what he said just now.
“He probably thinks you looked down on him since you did not tell him anything”
“He’s just a child. He’s always acting in a young and immature manner. Once he figured himself out, he would be fine.” Marina could be considered a mediator between both ends.
“I know.” He had heard what Marina said outside.
“Let’s go back to our room and give him some time to think it through,” Marina said.
“Okay.” Simon nodded at her and led Marina to his bedroom.
That night.
Robert had been staying in the study and did not come out.
He did not even eat dinner.
Although Simon did not say anything, Marina knew that he was very worried.
Therefore, she still asked the servant to deliver a meal to Robert.
However, no matter how hard the servant knocked, Robert did not open the door.
Marina was still wondering if she should approach him herself, but Simon directly rejected her.
He was old enough. He would not die from just starving over a meal.
He then hugged Marina and fell asleep.
The next morning-
Simon had just woken up.
The moment he opened the door, he saw Robert standing outside.
Simon could not help but be stunned.
When Robert saw Simon, he knelt down without another word.

Then, he kowtowed to him.
Marina heard the commotion and came over.
Looking at this scene, she couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows.
“What are you doing?” Marina’s tone was full of doubt.
“Uncle Simon, it was my fault for making you angry yesterday. I’m sorry!” Robert continued kneeling after the kowtow.
“To be honest, I’ve always respected you with my heart. I even treat you my father.
“Yesterday… I was too impulsive. I just felt that… you shouldn’t hide everything from me.
“We’re family. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we should face them together.
“Otherwise, there would be no meaning to the word “family” Robert choked in his voice as he spoke.
Simon looked at Robert and did not know what to say.
“Uncle Simon, I was insensible in the past and always made you worry about me. But don’t worry. I’ve already turned over a new leaf.
“After I went to Sakno City, I really worked hard daily. Although I still have a lot to learn, I can promise you that I will get better and better every day.
“After I’m done learning, I’ll take over the company and let you enjoy your retirement life,” Robert said firmly.
However, Simon still remained quiet.
Robert got a little nervous.
He wondered if he had hurt his uncle too much.
Maybe that was why he was ignoring him now.
Marina looked at Robert, who was about to cry and tugged at Simon’s sleeve.
It was a gesture that indicated that it was enough.
Since the child had already knelt down to apologize, what else did he want?
“Learning well and inheriting the company? Why? Are you trying to kick me out of the company?” Simon finally came back
to his senses.
“No, no, no. That’s not what I meant. I mean… you’ve been worrying about the company all these years. You wake up earlier than a chicken every day, sleep later than a dog, and hustle more than a cow.
“You must have been tired. I just want to share your burden,” Robert quickly explained.
“With your current state, you still want to share my burden? It’s already a blessing that you can make me worry less about you.” Simon snorted.
“I know. That’s why I’m studying very hard now.” Robert lowered her head.
Simon wanted to say something, but Marina gave him a warning look.
Just let him be.
Only then did Simon swallow the words about to come out of his mouth.
Chapter 280
Then, he said calmly, “Get up.”
“Uncle Simon, does this mean that you have forgiven me?” Robert’s eyes immediately lit up when he heard this.
“I didn’t blame you. Simon sighed as if he had not heard anything.
Even last night, he had been reflecting on whether his education of Robert had really failed.
“Really?” Robert stood up from the ground.
