Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 205

Chapter 205

Jessica’s face was flushed, but she could not say a word.

“What’s wrong?” Marina looked at her blushing face and thought that something had happened. She immediately went forward. “Did you choke? Let me take a look at you.”

Seeing Marina so worried about her, Jessica finally said something.

“No… No… I just bit a bone just now. My teeth… hurt a little…” Jessica did her best to tell an unconvincing lie.

“Is that all?” Marina was still a little suspicious.

Peter seized this opportunity and said, “My girl, why are you always shocked? You’ve been my secretary for so long. I’ve brought you to so many important occasions to enrich your experience. Why haven’t you get improved at all?”

The one to blame behind all of this, Peter, was looking at Jessica with his innocent eyes.

Jessica was full of words within her heart that she could not speak out.

She glared at Peter and immediately looked away because she feared that Marina would notice something.

“Shut up.”

“Marina knew that Jessica was a shy girl, so she turned her head and gave a warning to Peter.

Hit by Marina’s gaze, Peter immediately shut his mouth.

However, when Jessica looked down, her eyes were still filled with smiles.

He had never heard that this girl wanted to go back with him.

But when Marina asked her to stay, she just decided to stay.

He believed that Jessica must get punished for her dishonest behavior.

During the rest of the meal, to prevent Peter from playing any other tricks, Jessica stretched her legs outside the table to the outermost.

She also started to speed up eating.

Before others could finish the meal, she had already put down her fork.

“Marina, I’ve finished. Now I want to do some reading for a while,” Jessica said with the awareness that it was impolite to leave the table so quickly.

However, she was really afraid that Peter would do something shocking again.

Therefore, nothing could stop her from running away from him right now.

“Alright, you can go back to your room first.” Marina was not so calculative.

The only thing on her mind was that this little girl was desperately eager for growth and improvement.

After Jessica went upstairs, Peter seemed to be full and casually put down his fork.

“Then I’ll go back too. I’ll come and pick her up tomorrow morning,” Peter said.

“No need. I’ll drive her to your company.” Marina was the only one who had a good appetite at the table.

She was still enjoying the food slowly.

“Well, recently, you seem quite free, right? Weren’t you always busy in the past? It’s normal for you to disappear for a month or two when working” Peter gave Marina a curious look.

“What do you mean? Am I not allowed to take a rest for a while?” Marina looked at him impatiently.

“Of course! You can,” Peter was instantly terrified.

He looked back and reluctantly dragged his eyes away from the direction Jessica had just left.

It seemed that he was going to sleep alone tonight.

What a heartless little girl! She did not even look at him when she was leaving.

After Peter left, Marina ate alone for another ten minutes.

After she had been stuffed to bursting, she left the table and went upstairs.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Jessica leaning against the window.

She was still holding the picture books that Marina had picked out for her.

However, her gaze was fixed outside the window.

“What’s wrong? Is it too difficult?” Marina Bailey thought that Jessica was having difficulties studying.

“Ah? Yes… Yes, it’s a little difficult.” When Jessica heard Marina’s voice, she immediately came to her senses.

“Hold on and take it easy. Learning a foreign language does cost a lot of time.” Marina stepped forward to comfort her.

“I know.” Jessica nodded heavily.

“It’s getting late. Go wash up and rest,” Marina said.

“Okay.”

Half an hour later, the two of them lay on the bed after showering.

However, Marina was not used to sleeping with others.

But when she lost her memory in the past, every time she was sad, Jessica would always sleep by her side.

She said that with someone’s company, she would feel much better.

Gradually, she got used to sharing a bed with others.

“It seems like we haven’t slept in the same bed for a long time,” Marina said.

“That’s right. It was back in Solemwood.” When Jessica heard this, her nervous expression relaxed slightly.

“When I think about those days in the past, it feels like a dream.” Marina smiled.

“That’s right. I never thought that I would be able to live my current life.” A look of disbelief appeared on Jessica’s face.

“Are you happy working with Peter?” Marina asked casually.

When Jessica heard Peter’s name, his heart stopped beating for a moment.

“… Very… very happy.” There was a hint of nervousness in her voice that even she did not notice.

At this moment, her phone suddenly rang

Jessica took it over and took a look. It was a message from Peter.

“I can’t sleep without you tonight.”

Chapter 205

When Jessica saw this message, she immediately turned off the screen.

“What’s wrong?” Marina asked.

“It’s nothing. It’s just a… harassment message.” Jessica realized that once you told a lie, you only needed to use countless lies to cover up it.

And every time she lied to Marina, she felt very guilty because she was such a good sister to her.

“Marina, do you think… a couple with a huge difference in their social status can be together?” Jessica suddenly said as she tightened her grip on the phone in her hand.

“Usually not.” Maybe Marina did not notice how weird Jessica’s words were.

“Not?” When Jessica heard this, her tone was instantly filled with disappointment.

“Why are you suddenly asking this?” Marina’s eyes, which were about to close, suddenly opened wide again.

“Ah, it’s nothing. I just watched a television drama recently. In that story, the female lead was a very ordinary girl, while the male lead had a wealthy family background. The two of them went through many difficulties and finally got together,” Jessica said with an evasive expression.

“Ah, a television drama. The truth is that those things were specially filmed for ordinary people to watch.” Marina smiled.

When Jessica heard this, she could not help but turn around. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Because ordinary people might never be able to rise above their current class in their lives.

“Moreover, the more ordinary people are, the easier it is for them to fantasize that they will suddenly strike it rich one day or become a high–flyer.

“Those television dramas are just to entertain the public and satisfy some of their vain fantasies,” Marina said calmly.
