Chapter 341
“What’s wrong?” Simon and Sam turned around together.
Marina looked at her father’s gaze and did not know how to spill the words on the tip of her tongue.
“Girl, what are you mumbling about? Come inside quickly!” Seeing that Marina had not spoken for a while, Sam did not continue to wait.
He pulled Simon into the house directly.
Marina watched their figures recede inside.
She let out a long sigh.
No one in the entire Bailey family was willing to play chess with her father.
rd time.
This time, Simon was likely to have a hard time.
Marina shook her head and followed them.
As Sam led Simon into the house, he immediately got someone to bring the chessboard over.
Once they sat down, he started inviting Simon to the game.
“Come over quickly. What do you like to play? The classic chess? Or the speed chess?” Sam asked.
“Whichever Mr. Bailey likes, I’m fine with it.” With a slight smile, Simon replied.
“Let’s play speed chess then. I’ve been studying and practicing it lately.” Sam said as he set up the chessboard.
“Sure.” Simon agreed without hesitation.
When he passed by the living room, he nodded slightly at Mary, who was sitting on the sofa.
Mary looked at Simon in front of her and frowned.
Just as she was about to speak, Marina suddenly walked in..
She sat directly beside Mary and held her hand affectionately.
“Mom, I heard that there were some interesting stories during your trip recently. Some mysterious and strange things had happened.
Was it true?”
Marina pretended to be curious and asked.
“What mysterious and strange things? Do you believe the nonsense from the media online?” When it came to work matters, Mary showed some interest.
“I don’t believe those media, that’s why I personally asked you. Just tell me.” Marina spoke up.
“Actually, there’s nothing much to say. It’s just that during the trip, the weather was originally clear, but it suddenly turned stormy, and it became dark in an instant.
“But the bureau of meteorology had already explained that it was just some normal weather phenomena.”
“I see…” Marina pretended to be very interested.
Then she gave Simon, who was standing in front of her, a glance.
She signaled him to hurry up and go to her father.
There was a hint of subtle amusement in Simon’s eyes.
Then, he turned and walked towards Sam beside him.
Following Marina’s words, Mary recounted some interesting things she had encountered during her trip,
But when she finished her story, she noticed that Marina’s gaze kept shifting to the side.
That was where Simon and Sam were.

Mary’s expression immediately darkened, and she raised her hand to slightly poke Marina’s forehead.
“What’s the matter?” Marina instantly retracted her gaze,
“What’s the matter? I’m just saying that you have not asked about my work for a long time.
“Why suddenly become interested today? You even took the initiative to pester me with questions?
“Now it seems that you’re not really concerned about my feelings. You’re protecting an outsider right in front of me. Aren’t you afraid of hurting my heart?”
Although Mary’s voice was not loud, it was very cold and deep.
“Mom, you’re my own mother. Half of my blood flows through me from you.
“It’s the most unbreakable bond in the world, How could you think I would help someone else between you and me?
“You really hurt my feelings with that.” Marina pretended to be aggrieved.
Not prepared for the answer from her daughter, Mary could not react for a second.
“You’ve used this trick many times before, and I’ve become immune to it.” Mary rolled her eyes.
This time, it was Marina who could not say a word.
“I just told you today that I don’t agree with what’s going on between the two of you and you brought him back in the afternoon.
“With your behavior, you still have the nerve to say that you are not protecting an outsider?” Mary said coldly.
“Well…” Marina felt a bit wronged.
She was not the one who called Simon over.
However, if she were to say that Simon came over on his own, her mother would probably dislike him even more.
Just as Marina was thinking about how to answer to appease her mother.
Suddenly, her father exclaimed from the side.
“You lost!
“Haha, you lost!
“Young man, you are still not mature and not calm enough. If you had not been so eager in the last step, you might have been able to hold on a little longer.”
The smile on Sam’s face was very bright.
He seemed to be very happy.
As soon as Marina heard this, she immediately walked toward the two of them.
Her gaze swept over the chessboard in front of her.
The expression on her face became extremely complicated.
Then, her gaze turned deep as she looked at Simon in front of her.
Simon only gave her a faint smile.
Then, he returned his gaze back to Sam.
“Mr. Bailey is right. I’ll have to learn more from you in the future.”
“Sure, not a problem. I love teaching the younger generation the most. If you have time, come over often. I guarantee that under my guidance, you will quickly improve!”
Sam looked proud of the flattery.
“Alright, I’ll definitely come often.” This was what Simon had been waiting for.
“Great. Stay and let’s have dinner together tonight, and we can play another round after dinner!” Sam was already feeling a little smug by now.
