Returning With A Thousand Favors novel Chapter 334

Chapter 334 

“Yes, he even bought me an engagement ring!” Jessica looked at the ring in her hand. 

She could not conceal the beaming smile on her face. 

Her face was filled with happiness as she eagerly spoke to Marina on the other end of the phone. 

“Marina. I’m really getting married!” 

Upon hearing these words, Marina fell into silence instantly. 

She remained silent for a while without uttering a word. 

And on the other end of the phone, Jessica seemed to have noticed Marina’s uneasiness. 

After a while, she finally spoke up. “Marina, are you… not happy?” 

Jessica’s voice carried a hint of caution. 

At that moment, she was worried that Marina would not approve of their marriage. 

After all, Marina hadn’t seemed very happy ever since she found out about her and Peter’s relationship. 

Marina opened her mouth, about to say something, but the words took a different turn on the tip of her tongue. 

“Do you like him?” 

“I…” Jessica hesitated, not because she was unsure of her decision but because she felt shy. 

“Do you really like him?” Marina understood Jessica’s thoughts. 

“…Yes!” Jessica nodded heavily. 

It was the first time she openly admitted her feelings for Peter in front of someone else. 

Jessica said, “Marina, in my entire life, besides you being good to me, he is the first person who has treated me so well. 

“Marina, I really, really like him. I want to marry him too. 

“I want to have a child with him and create a warm home together. 

I have never experienced the warmth of a family in my life, and now I finally have this opportunity. I know our backgrounds are vastly different. 

“But this time, I still want to… be brave.” 

Although Jessica’s words may have sounded light, Marina knew that it probably took all the courage Jessica had in her life to say those words. 

Marina knew her personality very well. 

Due to her upbringing, Jessica had always been timid and easily intimidated. 

She had been suppressed by Sophia for a long time, so even if she liked something, she never dared to speak up. 

This was the first time she had been so straightforward in front of Marina, telling her that she liked Peter and wanted to be 

with him. 

“Since 

you 

like him so much, then… there’s nothing inappropriate about this marriage!” Marina enunciated each word 

clearly. 

“So, does that mean… you agree?” Jessica’s voice carried a tinge of excitement. 

“After you’ve told me all this, how can I be a spoilsport?” Marina’s eyes were filled with helplessness. 

“That’s not what I meant. I just wanted to tell you that… I have someone I like, and he even proposed to me. 

“I just wanted to share this news with you as soon as possible, Jessica interjected. 

“I understand, Marina’s voice softened upon hearing that. 

“Alright, it’s getting late now. You should rest soon.” 

“Okay,” Jessica nodded in agreement. 

However, after hanging up. Jessica lay on the bed and tossed and turned, but she could not fall asleep. 

She only held her hand and looked at the ring on it. 

Over and over again, she replayed in her mind the words Peter had just said to her. 

He told her that no matter what difficulties or dangers they faced in the future, he would stand in front of her. 

He would be her most solid and powerful harbor. 

He ensured that she would never suffer any more storms in her life. 

Harbor… 

Home… 

These things, which had seemed so distant to Jessica, had become a reality this evening. 

It gave her a surreal feeling. 

Jessica turned to the side, looking at the wall in front of her. 

On the other side of the wall was Peter. 

He had become her fiancé. 

She reached out her hand and slowly drew in the air. 

It was the outline of Peter. 

Even just looking at it, her heart filled with immense joy. 

On the other side, Marina didn’t seem to be in a good mood after hanging up the phone. 

“Let’s go home,” Simon glanced at Marina and turned the car around at the next intersection. 

He knew that Marina wanted to visit Jessica just now. 

However, he had also heard some of the conversations on the phone just now. 

At this point, she probably wouldn’t go there anymore. 

“Okay,” Marina replied in a low voice. 

However, on the way back, Marina never spoke again. 

Even when they returned home, she remained silent. 

After Simon finished showering, he noticed that Marina was still in the same position as before he entered the bathroom. 

He approached her from behind and gently embraced her. 

“Are you still worried about Jessica?” Simon spoke in a low voice. 

In Marina’s cars, his voice sounded sexy and pleasant. 

Moreover, Simon had just finished showering, and the cool fragrance on his body slightly eased Marina’s throbbing headache. 

Marina sighed. “I was angry before because I was worried Peter wouldn’t treat Jessica sincerely. 

“I know his personality, and over the years, I have never seen him take any girl seriously. 

“I brought Jessica here, and I was also the one who entrusted her to Peter. 

“If she gets hurt because of my actions, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life.” 

“You don’t have to worry about these things. Love is not solely one person’s fault. From what I gathered from Jessica, she really likes him. 

“Now that he has proposed, it means he is serious about this relationship. 

“If that’s the case, what else are you worried about?” Simon spoke in a low voice, but his words resonated deeply with Marina. 

Marina let out a long sigh. “I hope what you’re saying is true.” 

“Don’t worry about these things. After all, Peter is your cousin. I believe he knows how to handle things appropriately. 

“It’s getting late now, and you haven’t rested properly during this period. Get some rest,” Simon reassured her. 

“Alright.” Marina nodded. 

She allowed Simon to carry her into bed. 

Simon was right. Marina was indeed exhausted. 

She had always had a high requirement for sleep. 

Although she could function normally for several days without sleep, her mood would become irritable easily. 

During this period, she hadn’t had a good night’s sleep for a long time because of Yenny and Jessica. 

As soon as she nestled into Simon’s embrace, she fell asleep instantly. 

When she woke up the next day, she realized it was already close to noon. 

As she sat up, she felt refreshed and clear–headed. 

However, she noticed that Simon was no longer by her side. 

Marina sat up and glanced at her phone. 

There were actually several missed calls. 

They were all from her Aunt Daisy.
