“I won’t do that anymore. Why are you so long–winded?” Marina’s head hurt from Simon’s questioning. 

“I have to make sure. After all, the way you were talking just now made me think that you’re drawing a line between us.” Simon casually played with the golden thumb ring in his hand. 

“We’re not the same kind of people.” Marina gave him a side–eye. 

“Why do you think so? Didn’t we agree that once we return to Janeborough, I will go to your house and ask for your hand in marriage? Are you going back on your word?” Simon raised her eyebrows. 

Marina was stunned when she heard this. 

“Are you really planning to do that?” Marina was surprised. 

At that time, she thought that Simon was just joking. 

“What else? You don’t think I would joke about such a thing, do you?” Simon narrowed his eyes. *** 

Marina kept quiet and did not say a word. 

Looking at the guilty look on Marina’s face, Simon’s face darkened. Then, he put the ring back in her hand. 

“I already said I don’t want it.” Marina wanted to refuse. 

However, Simon insisted on making her wear the ring. 

“I’ve come to realize that you’re very forgetful. Take this as one of my engagement gifts to you. Keep it with you so that you can remember our agreement at any time,” Simon said firmly. 

Marina was dumbfounded 

One of the engagement gifts?

Why was he giving her an engagement gift? 

When did she say she was going to marry him? 

“You…” Marina was about to explain this misunderstanding when Simon’s phone suddenly rang. 

Glancing at the caller ID, Simon turned around and patted Marina’s head. 

“I’ll take this call. Be good and don’t make a fuss.” 

Marina just kept quiet. 

What the fuck was going on? 

Also, why did he pat her head like he was coaxing a child? 

Marina looked away indignantly. When she looked up, she met Gavin’s envious and melancholic gaze. 

“Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want him to give you a gift as well?” Marina glanced at the ring on her finger. 

“Of course I do. Unfortunately, that’s Mr. Hernandez’s engagement gift. Furthermore, he’s straight and doesn’t like men.” Gavin let out a long sigh. 

“Are you saying that if he likes men, you will give yourself up to him?” Marina frowned.

“How can you say such a thing? If he fancies me, I should be grateful. He’s completely out of my league. After all, this is considered a miracle and blessing!” Gavin immediately corrected Marina. 

Marina just stared at him. 

“Is there a need to be so dramatic?” The corner of Marina’s mouth twitched. 

“Miss Bailey, did you not hear what I said just now? The ring on your finger is one of the keys to unlocking the Akister Treasure. We’re talking about the Akister Treasure!” Gavin emphasized again. 

“I know, but it’s just something that no one knows if it exists yet. Is there any point in spending so much effort to pursue it?” Marina frowned as she sized up the ring in her hand. 

“It exists!” Gavin suddenly said solemnly when he heard Marina’s hesitation. 

Marina looked up in surprise. 

“Miss Bailey, the Akister Treasure is really important to Mr. Hernandez. The fact that he’s willing to tell you about this and even gave you this hard–earned key proves how important you are to him, so please take good care of this key, Miss Bailey.” 

Gavin said to Marina with a serious expression.

This was the first time he had spoken to her with such an expression since they met.. 

It was also the first time that Marina did not retort. 

“What are you two talking about?” At this moment, Simon had already returned from the call.

“It’s nothing. I just feel that this ring looks great on Miss Bailey’s finger,” Gavin said obsequiously. 

“I think so too.” Simon looked down. 

Marina’s skin was fair. Now that the ring was on her finger, it suited her very much. 

“I still have some things to deal with. Wait for me here.” A moment later, Simon’s gaze landed on Marina’s face.. 

Perhaps it was something urgent. Simon left with Gavin without waiting for Marina to agree. 

Back in the Bailey family’s office in Solemwood. 

In the document storage room. 

Marina sat on the chair with a thoughtful look on her face. She was tapping the ground with the tip of her foot and the chair began to spin. 

Just as she was about to stop, she tapped the ground once again and the chair started spinning again. 

Jessica looked up at Marina as she sorted out the documents. 

She had been like this for almost two hours. 

Finally, Jessica put down her work and walked over worriedly. 

“Marina, did you run into some trouble?” 

Upon hearing Jessica’s words, Marina looked at her faintly, 

As she was ready to speak, Jessica pricked up her ears and waited for her to continue. 

However, Marina took a look at the ring on her finger and let out a long sigh. Then, she continued to spin the chair.

“Why? Do you still think that my intentions are not pure?” Looking at Marina, Simon who had been staring at him, raised his eyebrows.
