Returning With A Thousand Favors novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58 

“Well, it’s definitely unfortunate.” Simon nodded in agreement. 

“I don’t think his misfortune is because I beat him up, but because he has a boss like you,” Marina said, taking a bite of her bacon. 

Simon didn’t know what to reply. 

Meanwhile, Gavin, who was very unfortunate, was lying next to Robert’s hospital bed. 

Robert gave Gavin a displeased look. “Didn’t my uncle pay you? How come you can’t even afford a hospital room and have to come here and squeeze with me?” 

Gavin, who was bandaged up like Robert, was focused on watching a game on the television across the room. “Don’t you think it’s a bit lonely to have a room all to yourself?” 

“I don’t feel lonely at all, so hurry up and have the nurse push your bed away!” Robert was extremely repulsed by Gavin’s presence. 

Gavin had a special kind of magic about him where people around him. tended to have bad luck. 

For example, the last time Robert came to see Gavin, he was beaten up by that female demon and ended up in the hospital. 

Anyway, no one could manage him except for Simon. 

This jinx should just leave as far away as possible! 

“Nice shot!” Gavin cheered for Tyler’s recent shot. 

“Oh, go back, go back! It’s all your fault that I missed Marksman’s spectacular moment!” When he heard Tyler’s gaming name, Robert forgot about arguing with Gavin and picked up the remote control to rewind the video a bit. 

Since it was a recorded game video and not a live broadcast, they could control the progress bar. 

Gavin didn’t care and lay comfortably on the hospital bed. 

He felt like he could take a longer break from work. 

Or maybe he could have the doctors wrap more gauze around him later. 

That way, he could get Mr. Hernandez to give him a few more days off. 

Gavin pushed his glasses up on his nose. 

Meanwhile, Marina was leisurely having breakfast. 

Simon’s phone suddenly rang. 

Simon glanced at the caller ID and his expression darkened. He gestured to Marina. 

“Let me take this call.” 

“Sure.” Marina’s mind was filled with thoughts of food, and she had no intention of paying attention to him taking a phone call 

Simon looked at Marina, who didn’t even spare him a glance. His eyes flickered with disappointment. 

Last night, he wasn’t winning her attention over sandwich, and this morning, bacon. 

It seems that in the eyes of this little girl, his charm really isn’t worth mentioning. 

Simon shook his head with a bitter smile, then walked to the 

floor–to–ceiling window with his phone in hand. He lightly swiped his long fingers and answered the call. 

“Hello.” However, his indulgent expression from a moment ago turned into a stern one in an instant. 

“Mr. Hernandez, I’ve thought about the matter you told me about last time. I can give you what you want, but you must promise me one request.” Earl’s somewhat aged voice came from the other end of the phone. 

Simon’s expression instantly became serious upon hearing this. 

A moment later, he hung up the phone and returned to the table. 

“Go get your things done, don’t worry about me. When I need your snuggling services, I’ll come to find you myself.” Marina preemptively spoke before Simon could say anything. 

Upon hearing this, Simon raised his hand and playfully tapped Marina’s forehead. “You heartless girl, am I just a pillow in your eyes? 

“If not? Marina lifted her head, with a fork in one hand and a knife in the other, and a strip of bacon was skewered on the fork. 

As expected of an ungrateful wretch. I gave you so many good things for nothing. Simon snorted. 

“What good things? What did you give me?” Marina’s eyes looked somewhat confused. 

“Figure it out for yourself.” Simon had no intention of explaining further. He picked up his jacket and prepared to leave, 

“Wait for me here after you’re done eating.” However, before he left, he turned around and reminded Marina. 

Marina shrugged and did not respond, continuing to nibble on her bacon. 

Because Gavin was injured on duty and had to go to the hospital, Simon had to personally drive to the Campbell family. 

When Gordon saw Simon again, there was a cold and probing look in his eyes. 

Simon didn’t even give him a glance and went straight upstairs to Earl’s room under the guidance of the butler. 

Earl was sitting in a wheelchair, and his complexion looked pretty good. 

After the butler led Simon in, he immediately left and respectfully. reminded someone to close the door. 

“Where’s the thing I want?” Simon didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly. 

“Mr. Hernandez, I thought you might want to hear my conditions first.” Earl looked up at the man standing in front of him. 

Throughout his life, he had fought in bloodshed. There was even a few time when his life had been in danger. 

Every enemy he faced was extremely fierce.
