Chapter 23
Simon looked at Marina for a moment, then he picked up the file next to him and started flipping through it.
Gavin, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, looked up quietly to figure out what was happening behind him.
One was sleeping soundly while the other was working.
They didn’t speak, but there seemed to be a very harmonious atmosphere.
This scene even looked like a piece of wallpaper.
About half an hour later, they arrived at Marina’s residence.
Gavin glanced back and saw that Marina was still fast asleep.
However, Gavin didn’t want to wake her up, so Gavin sat still in the driver’s seat and didn’t make a sound.
Marina felt that she slept very comfortably this time. It was two hours later when she awoke and opened her eyes again.
The moment Marina woke up, she had a dazed look, making her appear obedient and cute.
It even stunned Simon.
But Marina soon came back to her senses and realized where she was.
“Did I sleep for a long time?” Marina slowly sat up, supporting her body with her arms. Because she had just woken up, her voice was hoarse.
“You slept for about two hours.” Simon glanced at his watch.
“About two hours?” Marina thought to herself.
She froze for a moment.
Marina didn’t expect that she had slept for so long.
But the important thing was that she slept so well this time that she felt refreshed after waking up.
Marina hadn’t had such a good sleep in a year.
“Is it because of the blanket?” Marina wondered.
Marina had a thoughtful look in her eyes, wanting to ask Lee to buy a similar one for her when she went back.
“Thank you for taking me home.” Marina put the blanket aside and moved to open the door to get out of the
car.
Today didn’t seem like the right time to settle scores with him. After all, she had been sleeping in Simon’s car for so long.
However, as soon as Marina touched the door handle, Simon grabbed her wrist.
“Anything else?” Marina frowned immediately.
“Looks like you like this blanket very much. It’s yours now!” Simon handed her the blanket beside him.
“Mine?” Marina had a puzzled expression.

“Maybe I’m wrong? So you don’t like it?” Simon raised his eyebrows.
Marina didn’t know what to say.
“How much is it?” After hesitating momentarily and thinking of the comfortable sleep just now, Marina finally gave in.
“I don’t think we should talk about the price,” Simon said slowly.
“But we have nothing else to talk about.” Marina frowned.
“Really?” Simon couldn’t help but look at Marina’s delicate neck and meaningful eyes.
He remembered that he had left a tooth mark there that night.
But at this time, that seemed to have disappeared.
Maybe he should have bitten her harder at that time instead of being merciful.
“What are you looking at?” Marina suddenly had a sullen and dangerous tone.
“We should reciprocate, right? So if you want to be sincere, you can give me a gift.” After Marina saw through. his thoughts, Simon made a request to Marina with a calm expression instead of feeling embarrassed.
Marina was speechless.
“Has anyone ever told you that you are shameless?” Marina narrowed her eyes slightly.
“No. You’re the first one.” Others dared not talk about him like that.
“You know too few people.” Marina snorted coldly.
“You are worth more than anyone else. It’s enough to have you.” Simon stared at Marina without blinking.
Marina was speechless again.
“What’s wrong with this guy?
“Why is he courting me every day?” Marina thought.
Marina glared at him furiously, tried to open the car door again, and got out of the car.
“You don’t want this blanket?” This time, Simon asked her without hesitation.
Marina, who was about to get out of the car, stopped suddenly.
She seemed to be thinking.
After a few moments, she finally picked up the blanket from the seat and slammed the door shut.
She entered the villa without looking back.
Simon couldn’t help laughing under his breath in the car.
Gavin was sitting in the driver’s seat with a mixed expression.
He thought it might be counterproductive if Simon kept pissing her off like this.
It seemed like he needed to buy Simon some books about love and relationships.
After all, this was the first time Simon had fallen in love with a woman in over 20 years. He didn’t want Simon

to fail because of himself.
Gavin decided to choose some books when he got back tonight.
As soon as Marina entered the house, Peter angrily came in from the door.
Seeing Marina, Peter hurriedly stepped forward and looked her up and down several times.
“What the hell are you doing?” Marina glanced at him impatiently.
Seeing that Marina had no obvious injuries and her clothes were neat and clean, Peter let out a long sigh of relief.
“Marina, why did you get into another man’s car without scruples? Do you know how dangerous it is? You know that men are all lecherous bastards and often seduce beautiful young girls like you!”
“Please don’t forget that you are also a man,” Marina reminded him flatly..
“Because I’m a man, I know men’s minds best! So from now on, you can’t go to another man without notifying me. If those guys in this house know about it, I may be slashed by them!” Peter was very anxious.
“Got it. You are really more verbose than an old lady.” Marina waved her hand casually.
“You…” Peter tried to say something else, but suddenly he saw the blanket in Marina’s hand and asked curiously, “What is this?”
“Are you blind? It’s a blanket, isn’t it?” Marina rolled her eyes at him.
“Of course, it is. I mean, where did you get such a dirty blanket? Besides, it looks like it was used by somebody else,” Peter said in a tone of extreme disgust.
Marina didn’t know how to reply to him.
“It has nothing to do with you.” Marina went up to the second floor with the blanket.
“Besides, you haven’t told me who that man is yet,” Peter continued.
“A tailor,” Marina replied without looking back.
“A tailor?
“A tailor who is trying to take my girl away from me?
“What a jerk!” Peter thought.
Peter then took out his mobile phone and opened the chat box of the first group in the Whatsapp list.
The group was called “The Princess‘ Guardians.”
[Come on, everyone. There is a damn tailor in love with Marina!] Peter sent an emoji of knocking on the door.
The Princess‘ Guardians A replied first, [Who is that? A tailor? Does he have the right to covet Marina?]
The Princess‘ Guardians B then texted, [Don’t hesitate! Just eliminate him!]
The Princess‘ Guardians C also responded, [Someone is in love with my girl? I won’t let that happen!]
After he finished texting, he sent a crying emoji.
In an instant, everyone stopped messaging.
