Returning With A Thousand Favors novel Chapter 400

Chapter 400 

Chapter 400 

After finishing their business, Marina and Simon happily had a meal together. 

After the two of them finished their meal, they didn’t rush back to the hotel. 

« * 

Instead, they decided to stroll around the shopping district in Ilustralia. 

Marina wasn’t really interested in buying anything substantial; she just enjoyed the experience of walking hand in hand with 

Simon. 

She even showed interest in items being sold on roadside stalls. 

Simon didn’t feel that it was a disgrace and happily accompanied her. 

Whenever Marina saw something she liked, he would purchase it for her. 

He was like an ATM. 

Marina was delighted with his generosity, 

After walking around, they ended up buying quite a few things. 

However, all of them were small and easy to carry. 

It didn’t take up much space. 

Walking hand in hand on the cobblestone road, Marina said. “I’ve actually been to Hustralia before.” 

“Really? You’ve been to these places before?” Simon responded to what she said. 

“I did, but it felt different back then. I was mostly here because of work.” 

“I didn’t have the time or leisure to admire the scenery around me.” 

“It felt like a hurried trip, going from one place to another, and each place seemed to blend into the next.” Marina’s voice lowered as she mentioned this. 

She seemed to be somewhat emotional. 

Simon also noticed the change in her mood and tightened his grip on her hand. 

“If there’s any place you want to go in the future, I’ll accompany you.” 

“You can just wander around without any worries, and if you see something 

“Sure.” Marina smiled brightly at his words. 

Her gaze was fixed on Simon. 

In the past, she never realized that the world was missing something. 

Marina realized her previous life felt empty ever since meeting Simon. 

However, fate had been kind to her. 

Meeting Simon filled the void in her life. 

You like. I’ll buy it for you,” Simon whispered. 

They continued to explore and have fun until the evening before returning to the hotel. 

Surprisingly, Eunice didn’t stop them in the hall this time. 

Marina felt somewhat odd. 

She had expected to see Eunice waiting for them in the hall as soon as they returned. 

She thought Eunice would probably burst into tears and complain she was only worried about Simon. 

Marina shook her head at her own thoughts. 

It seemed that Eunice wasn’t as capable as she had expected. 

Marina probably had too much fun on this day. 

In the following two days, she stayed in the hotel. 

She was so lazy that she couldn’t even be bothered to change out of her pajamas. 

Let alone wearing any shoes. 

Wherever they went, Simon would carry her. 

It felt incredibly comfortable.

Those who didn’t know better would think that they were on a relaxing vacation. 

Three days flew by just like that, until the night of the fourth day. 

Marina had just climbed into bed with Simon. 

The two of them were about to have some intimate time together, but just as their buttons were halfway down, an urgent ringtone suddenly interrupted them. 

Both of them were stunned. 

“Ignore it,” Marina said and hugged Simon. 

However, the urgent phone ringtone sounded again as the two got closer. 

It lasted longer than before. 

Marina closed her eyes and took a deep breath. 

Finally, she climbed off Simon and picked up the phone. Without even checking the caller ID, she answered the call. 

“You better have a good reason for this!” Marina gritted her teeth. 

“Quick… Help…” A weak voice came from the other end of the phone. 

It took Marina Bailey a while to recognize the owner of the voice. 

Then, she glanced at the phone, only to see an unfamiliar number. 

“Locke?” Marina asked tentatively. 

“It’s me…” Locke replied. 

“Where are you now?” Marina could tell that he was not in a good state. 

However, the call was abruptly cut off before she could get more information. 

Marina’s expression instantly became tense. 

“What’s wrong?” Simon also got up from the bed. 

“Something might have happened to Locke. I have to look for him now,” Marina said as she began to track Locke’s current location. 

“I’ll go with you!” Simon was already putting on his clothes. 

“Okay.” Marina agreed without hesitation. 

Soon, Marina pinpointed Locke’s location. 

The two of them immediately called Gavin and set off together. 

About an hour later. 

Marina finally found the disheveled Locke in a trash can. 

When Marina lifted the lid of the trash can, Locke, who was hiding inside, looked terrified. 

He looked like he was on the verge of a breakdown. 

However, when he saw Marina’s face, tears started pouring down. 

He opened his arms and was about to hug Marina. 

However, Marina took a few steps back.
