Chapter 473 

The statue had not been tidied up for a long time, so it was covered in dust. 

One of the statue’s arms was even broken. 

However, one had to be able to tell that the statue was a very heroic–looking woman. 

Simon stared fixedly at the statue in front of him. 

Then, he slowly walked toward it. 

He raised his hands and cleaned up all the trash on the statue. 

Then, he took a handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wiped the dust on the statue. 

Although Simon said nothing about it, Marina already knew who the statue was. 

Marina immediately went forward to help him to wipe it. 

After they wiped the statue in front of them clean, Simon spoke. 

‘Actually, the statue is a bit different from the one I remember of her. 

The statue’s eyes are filled with light. That’s hope. That’s faith. 

But in my memory, it seemed she was depressed daily. 

‘She seemed particularly unhappy. I didn’t know why before, but I’d never figured it out until now because she was trapped. 

“Because life is short. She wanted to live a good life for herself. 

“But she was an eagle in the sky. She was not suitable to be trapped in a cage. 

“She also was not suitable to be another man’s vassal, but she realized it too late.” 

Simon’s tone was filled with sorrow. 

As the saying goes, a wise person does not enter the river of love. 

She was once such a dazzling woman, but she had lost her life because of love. 

Marina said, “There are many kinds of love in this world. There is one kind of love that can make people grow up and make each other better. 

“There’s also some love. Although it won’t be spectacular, it’ll be plain and makes two people stay together for the rest of 

their lives. 

“Of course, there will be some bad things. But we must believe that we are worthy of the most beautiful things in this world.” Marina looked at the statue in front of her with determination. 

Neither Marina nor Simon would become her. 

Simon stayed on the island for a day. 

Marina stayed with him all the time. 

The two of them experienced everything that Simon’s mother had once created. 

It was not until the following morning that they left the ruins. 

On the way back, Marina looked at Simon, who had not been in a good mood, and made a suggestion. 

“I can help you revive your mother’s home if you want.” 

Simon could not help but turn to look at her when he heard Marina’s words. 

Marina threw the thing in her hands over. 

Simon took it and glanced at it. 

On it was a design. 

Simon looked a little familiar at first glance. 

Then he realized that it was a bird’s–eye view of the island. 

“You…” Simon looked at Marina in shock. 

“You… 

“That’s where your mother was born and grew up. Although she was no longer around, I know you definitely don’t want the place she used to stay to become a wasteland that no one cares about. 

“You probably don’t know this, but I’m also interested in architectural design. 

Chapter 473 

“When I was touring with you previously, I had memorized the structure of that island. 

“Then I casually described it. I can imagine how prosperous that island used to be. 

“Simon, let’s restore it together!” Marina’s eyes were filled with excitement. 

Simon’s grip on the blueprint tightened. 

The emotions in his heart surged like waves. 

But he only said one word in the end. 

… Okay 

Because Marina only needed the word to understand his emotions. 

Marina had always been a person who did what she said. 

She began to restore the island after returning to Janeborough. 

However, Marina was already very busy with her work. 

There was not much time to squeeze out. 

She could only draw designs when she was resting. 

Simon was worried Marina would be tired, so he suggested hiring a professional designer to help her. 

However, Marina wanted to do it herself. 

Because that place was too sacred, she was worried about handing it over to others. 

Marina wanted to recover bit by bit. 

Simon knew her persistence and did not stop her. 

However, he would silently take care of her daily life. 

Time passes day by day. 

After confirming all the designs, Marina began to prepare for construction. 

However, Marina had been hiding it from Simon. 

She only told him that she was still in the stage of drawing designs. 

Simon did not overthink it. 

It was because he knew that Marina had always been very busy, not to mention that it was a large project. 

It was not something that could be achieved overnight. 

Moreover, Simon was not in a hurry. 

It didn’t matter if she took her time. 

And the slowness slowed down by an entire year. 

Marina dominated the entire Bailey family, expanding its business landscape significantly in the past year. 

Almost everyone in the Bailey family was obedient to her. 

After all, she was the heir Chuck had trained since she was a little girl. 

Her ability was so outstanding that no one dared to object to her naturally. 

On the other hand. Simon started to relax. 

It was because he had basically handed over the matters at the Hernandez family to Edward. 

And Robert had also grown up now.
