“Since everything is done, I want to leave as soon as possible so I can fit
“Dut…” Marina was still a little worried.
new environment early” Jessica said calmly.
“It’s okay. The earlier I go, the earlier I can come back,” Jessica comforted her.
“Well, alright.”
Marina could tell that Jessica had made up her mind, so she did not try to stop her.
She sent Jessica to the airport the next morning.
Jessica did not want too much attention, so Marina only brought Simon over to see her off.
Marina looked at Jessica worriedly.
“Call me as soon as you get there. Remember to tell me immediately if you need any help.
“Also, let me know if someone bullies you. After my mother is done with her business, I’ll go abroad to see you,” Marina reminded Jessica repeatedly as if she were her mother.
“I know. You guys may go back. It’s time to board,” Jessica replied patiently.
“I’ll watch you go into the departure lounge before I leave,” Marina said.
“Alright.” Jessica felt a little helpless but did not say anything.
She then picked up her suitcase and walked towards the security checkpoint.
However, she suddenly stopped in her tracks after taking two steps.
She turned around, rushed up to Marina, and hugged her tightly.
“Marina, thank you.”
“Wait for me to come back.” With that, Jessica turned to leave.
She quickened her pace without even looking back.
It was as if Jessica was afraid that she would no longer want to leave if she turned around.
Marina remained where she was as she watched Jessica disappear into the crowd.
“She has never been to a strange place alone, and she has always felt inferior because of her family background.
“She’s afraid of making new friends and will feel uneasy in an unfamiliar environment.
“I brought her home because I hoped that she could live a better life. Did I do something wrong?” Marina muttered.
Simon, who was standing next to her immediately put his arm around her shoulders.
“What makes you think that way? Given the circumstances back then, she could have been worse off if you hadn’t brought her
back.”
“But…” Marina wanted to say something more, but Simon interrupted her.
“What’s more, she doesn’t mean to blame you.
“I think it’s good for her to be out for a while. If you keep her by your side, she probably won’t be able to grow up.
“But if you let her go, by the time you two meet again, she’ll definitely become more mature and stronger.”
“Lhope so.” Marina took a deep breath.
“Let’s go back then,” Simon said.
“Okay.” Marina nodded.
As soon as the two of them came out of the airport, a tall young man quickly ran towards them.

Chapter 394
Il was Peter
“Where is Jessica? Where is she?” Peter looked at Marina and asked ansiously, sweat popping out on his forehead.
“Didn’t I tell you not to come to Jessica again?” Marina said with a
“Where did she go? Tell me where she is!”
Despite Marina’s harsh words, Peter grabbed her wrist and looked at her with pleading eyes.
“It’s too late to regret it.” Marina compressed her lips and looked at him, having mixed feelings.
“Tell me, where did she go? I’m begging you.” Peter was so anxious that his voice became hoarse.
It was as if he had lost something he cherished the most.
“She has gone overseas. Don’t look for her anymore.” After all, Peter was her cousin, so Marina tipped him a little bit about Jessica despite her reluctance.
“Where is her destination? Which country? Which city?” Peter looked at Marina eagerly.
“She does not want me to tell you about it, and she does not want you to go lind her.
“Peter, the two of you have broken up. As a qualified ex, you should be as quiet as a dead man and not disturb her life.” Marina’s tone grew even harsher.
“I’ve never agreed to break up with her!” Peter gritted his teeth.
“Staring a romantic relationship requires the consent of two people, but ending a relationship only requires the consent of one.
“Peter, stop pestering her. Jessica has been living a miserable life. Don’t make her suffer more.”
After saying that, Marina withdrew her hand from Peter’s palm.
Then, she strode away with Simon.
Peter stood rooted on the spot listlessly.
He looked at the people coming and going in front of him, his eyes full of despair.
Almost everyone he knew respectfully addressed him as Mr. Moore.
They tried their best to please him in the hope of getting reward from him.
However, even so, there were things that he could not get.
There were so many people in the world.
If Marina meant to hide Jessica from him, there was no way he could find her no matter how hard he tried.
It was true that he lost the girl who loved him with all her heart..
Just as Marina was about to get into the car, she looked back at Peter.
He was still standing at the door of the airport with the same posture as before Marina left, looking decadent and desperate.
Even though he was so far away, Marina could tell how fragile he was now.
She began wrestling with herself mentally.
