Chapter 398 

The waiter led Simon and Marina into the private room. 

Then, he left. 

She asked them to call her if they wanted to order. 

After she left, Gavin immediately closed the door. 

Then, he approached Simon and Marina with a solemn expression. 

“Mr. Hernandez, that person just now was Yann Gavin lowered his voice. 

It was as if he feared the people next door would hear him. 

“Apparently, these dishes are the restaurant’s signature dishes. Let’s try them.” Marina said, seemingly oblivious to Gavin’s words as she focused on the menu before her. 

“As long as you like them.” Simon also looked at Marina with a gentle gaze. 

“Mr. Hernandez, Miss Bailey, I definitely did not make a mistake just now. The person next door was Yann!” Gavin repeated. 

This was a golden opportunity. 

It wasn’t the time to enjoy a meal. 

“I’m done choosing the dishes. Get the waiter to prepare the dishes.” Marina simply handed the menu before her to Gavin. 

Gavin frowned, but when he saw Marina’s calm expression, he suddenly realized something. 

“Miss Bailey, did you know that Yann would be here today? Is that why you wanted to eat here?” 

“What do you think?” Marina gave Gavin a meaningful look. 

Gavin was speechless. 

“I got worried for nothing. Miss Bailey, you are so smart and attentive. How could you not have thought of what I was thinking? I talked too much. Gavin lowered his head and apologized. 

Then, he took the menu from Marina and said respectfully. 

“I’ll go and place the order for you now.” 

After saying that, he turned and left the room. 

Only Marina and Simon were left in the room. 

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Simon asked. 

Simon didn’t intend to question her. He was asking Marina in a casual tone. 

“I didn’t mention it to you because I wasn’t completely sure he would come,” Marina replied calmly. 

“Gosh. I thought you genuinely wanted to come out for dinner. Don’t worry too much about my affairs,” Simon said with a hint of helplessness. 

“I’m not worried. I just happened to find out that he would be here. Besides, we were already planning to eat out. It’s a win–win situation, don’t you think so?” Marina smiled.. 

“I was afraid you might feel aggrieved: Simon voiced out his thoughts. 

“Why would I feel that way?” Marina looked a bit puzzled. 

“Because I’ve been troubling you with my matters. Don’t you feel aggrieved?” Simon had never been in a romantic relationship before. 

Hence, he had to resort to searching on the internet for knowledge about love. 

According to what he found, girls in love often hoped to be an exception to their boyfriends. 

They hoped their boyfriends would prioritize and care for them in everything. 

This way, she could feel cherished and loved. 

However, it seemed that their situation was the opposite. 

It seemed like Marina always put his matters first in everything. 

The same thing happened during his uncle and Robert’s incident. 

Now, Marina also put him first. 

Chapter 398 

Simon couldn’t help but feel more indebted to Marina. 

“Why would you think that?” Marina looked at him in surprise. 

“We’re already married. As a couple, your concerns are my concerns. Why would I feel aggrieved to care about your affairs?” 

“Besides, right now, your matters are more important. Of course, I should prioritize them” 

“If anything happens to me in the future, wouldn’t you also prioritize me?” Marina asked solemnly. 

Simon fell silent. 

Looking at Marina’s expression, Simon suddenly laughed. 

“What’s wrong? What are you laughing at?” Marina frowned. 

“It’s nothing. I guess… the internet isn’t always right, Simon replied softly. 

“What?” Marina looked even more confused. 

However, Simon did not explain further. 

He raised his hand and caressed Marina’s head.. 

How could he have forgotten that Marina was not an ordinary girl? 

He couldn’t approach her with a typical mindset. 

Marina was a little puzzled by Simon’s sudden tenderness. 

However, she did not probe further. 

After all, the most important thing now was Yann, who was sitting next door. 

She took out a small box from her bag. 

Then, she walked straight to the wall. 

Opening the box, she retrieved a magnetic–like device and placed it on the wall. 

Then, she took out two earphones from the box. 

She handed one of them to Simon before wearing the other one herself. 

Simon took the earpiece and stuffed it into his ear. 

The device produced a faint buzzing sound. 

Simon could not help but furrow his brows. 

Marina immediately took out her phone and operated it on the screen. 

The buzzing noise gradually transformed into audible voices. 

Simon immediately looked at Marina. 

ros 

“This is a listening device I tinkered with in my free time. It has a strong wall–penetrating function. Now, we can sit here and listen to their conversation in the next room.” 

Marina explained with a smile. 

Simon nodded, his eyes filled with admiration.
