Returning With A Thousand Favors novel Chapter 331

Chapter 331 

Jessica waited in the ward for a long time, but neither Peter nor Marina returned. 

She grew increasingly anxious and couldn’t resist coming out to check on them. 

To her surprise, when she pushed the door open, she found Peter standing there in a daze. 

His complexion appeared pale, and his face carried a hint of distress. 

Jessica hurriedly went forward and asked, “What’s wrong? Don’t tell me you fought with Marina?” 

Jessica’s voice pulled Peter back to reality. 

Looking at the worried Jessica, Peter quickly composed himself and regulated his emotions. 

Then he smiled at her and said, “How could I dare to lay a hand on her?” 

“But did Marina hit you?” Jessica instantly realized what had happened. 

“No, neither of us hit each other, Peter reassured her, not wanting her to worry. 

“Well, that’s good. But why did you look so unwell just now?” Jessica finally breathed a sigh of relief. 

After all, Marina and Peter were the two most important people in her world now. 

If they were fighting, she didn’t know whose side to take. 

“Do I? Maybe it’s because I’ve been worried about you these past few days, Peter calmly replied. 

“You haven’t been resting properly these days?” Jessica’s eyes filled with a hint of concern upon hearing his words. 

“How can I sleep when you’ve been missing?” 

Peter’s words were not a lie. 

These past few days, he truly hadn’t even closed his eyes to rest. 

There were dark circles under his eyes. 

Jessica was naturally a soft–hearted person, and upon hearing Peter’s words, she felt an immense sense of heartache. 

She immediately held his hand and said, “Come, let’s go inside and rest.” 

Peter didn’t refuse and allowed Jessica to lead him into the VIP ward. 

Jessica was staying in a VIP ward, so the hospital bed was very spacious. 

Jessica pressed Peter onto the bed. 

Then, she got onto the bed from the other side and lay gently in his embrace. 

“Sleep. I’ll be right here.” Jessica’s voice was incredibly gentle. 

Upon hearing her words, Peter felt as if his entire heart had been filled with something soft. 

It made him feel at ease. 

He took a deep breath and tightly embraced Jessica in his arms. 

Actually. If it was Jessica, the marriage didn’t seem so frightening after all. 

Holding Jessica in his arms, Peter fell into a deep sleep. 

Meanwhile, Marina was already sitting in Simon’s car. 

She looked tired. 

Simon patted his own shoulder. “If you’re tired, you can rest against me.” 

“I’m not tired, Marina said in a low voice. 

She was full of anger at the moment, with no room to consider whether she was tired or not. 

That’s their business. Perhaps your friend is enjoying it? Why are you so angry about it?” Simon chuckled. 

He already understood the reason behind Marina’s anger. 

Marina retorted, “What do you mean by enjoying it? Jessica is a very innocent girl, but Peter is experienced in relationships. 

“Jessica will not be able to resist Peter’s sweet talk at all! 

“It’s all my fault. I only wanted to entrust Jessica to someone that I trusted. This way, she could receive the best care. 

“But I never expected that Peter, that audacious man, would dare to lay a hand on Jessica!” Marina carefully recalled the past 

events. 

Marina suddenly realized there had been something off between them for a while, but she hadn’t thought much about it at 

that time. 

Firstly, she never expected Peter to have the audacity to date Jessica, whom she entrusted to him. 

Secondly, Peter’s previous girlfriends were all curvaceous and exuded charm. 

Jessica, on the other hand, didn’t fit that description at all. So Marina thought there wouldn’t be any sparks between them. 

Unexpectedly, what she thought would never happen actually occurred. 

She was infuriated by the unexpected turn of events! 

“Peter isn’t as bad as you say. His abilities seem quite decent, and he has recently done well on a few projects. I’ve also heard some things about him. 

“It’s not a bad thing for your friend to be with him,” Simon pondered before speaking. 

But as soon as he said that, Marina’s gaze immediately swept past him. 

“This is exactly how you men are!” Marina exclaimed. 

“Huh?” Simon as a bit confused by her statement.

“You men are only driven by superficial attraction, only considering your sexual desires, without considering girls‘ happiness! Marina clenched her teeth in anger. 

“Why are you attacking all men like that?” Simon felt a bit unfairly blamed. 

Hmph! 

However, Marina refused to pay any more attention to him. She simply turned away and gave him a cold shoulder. 

Simon went speechless.

This was really troublesome. 

Her mood changed as quickly as the ever–changing weather. 

If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn’t have said that extra sentence. 

“I have already detained Yenny. Would you like to go and see him?” Unable to do anything else, Simon had to change the subject. 

“Where is he now?” As expected, Marina’s expression suddenly changed upon hearing Yenny’s name. 

Tll bring you there now,” Simon instructed Gavin. 

Gavin, who was driving, made a quick turn at the next intersection.
