Returning With A Thousand Favors By Flora Isabel

Chapter 27 

When Jessica heard what Marina said, she was raught off guard. She then mumbled. 

“There are also happy times.” 

“Alright. I am not going to force you. But if you ever want to leave in the future, you can talk to me anytime.” Marina looked at Jessica’s behavior and didn’t try to persuade her further. 

Everyone has the right to make their own decision, after all. 

It was her life to live. She couldn’t make any decisions on her behalf.

“Okay, I got it,” Jessica replied, nodding her head solemnly. 

Their shopping trip ended badly then because of Sophia’s appearance. 

Marina returned to her villa after dropping Jessica off. 

She saw the living room filled with shopping bags when she entered the villa. 

There wasn’t even space for her to walk. 

“Marina, why did you buy so many things out of nowhere? And they are all men’s clothing.” Peter asked, reclining in the corner of the sofa. 

He was surrounded by a bunch of shopping bags. 

“I was in a good mood,” Marina muttered absentmindedly. 

She then casually picked up a shopping bag next to her. 

It happened to be the bag containing the tie that Jessica had picked out. 

Marina raised her eyebrows. 

Mm. Her luck was as good as it usually was. 

“Send the rest of the things back home and say they are presents I bought for them,” Marina said. She then turned around and went upstairs after picking up what she wanted. 

“Huh? You bought all of these things for us?” Peter was feeling unhappy earlier. But his eyes twinkled when he heard that the things were for them. 

“Yeah. I bought all these for all of you.” There was no guilt in her voice. 

“Does it mean I am the first one who gets to choose from these presents?” Peter didn’t notice anything strange about Marina 

[00. 

“Of course you are!” 

“Haha. I knew it. I’ve always known that I am your favorite brother!” Peter was carried away by the excitement then. 

He then leaped into the pool of shopping bags happily. 

Those were presents that Marina bought for them! 

On top of that, he was the first to choose from them. He had to boast about it in their chat group! 

Peter then opened his Whatsapp and tapped into the chat group named “Loving Family.” 

Chapter 27 

He then took a photo of himself with all the shopping bags and sent it to the group. 

“Don’t be jealous. These are presents Marina bought for me?” 

He added an emoji smiling cheekily. 

The moment the message went through, a wave of messages flooded in 

Chuck complained, “What? Marina bought you presents? What did you do to deserve them? Hurry up and hand them over? 

Lil Fairy in the Bailey family’s chat group then quickly replied, “Exactly! Hurry up and hand them over! Don’t even think about taking them out of their packaging! Otherwise, I’ll tear you apart first when you come home!” 

Peter felt unfairly treated. 

“Mom, I am your son!” 

“If you weren’t my son, I would have neglected you long ago! So hurry up and send over the presents Marina has gotten you!” Daisy clamored demandingly. 

“But everything that Marina bought is for us men.” Peter tried to keep the presents for himself. 

One must know that other than Marina, Peter was most afraid of his mother. 

She was a woman that even his father had to cave in to. 

Lil Fairy in the Bailey family claimed. “My dear son, you might not know this. But I was a man before I gave birth to you. 

Peter was shocked. 

Daisy’s husband then asked in the chat group, “My darling, why did I not know about this before?” 

Chuck responded, “Daisy, do you have no integrity? You neglected your gender just to get your hands on the presents Marina got us!” 

She quickly refuted, “So what if I did? Fight me!” 

There was an uproar in the chat group. 

These people were leaders in their respective industries. They always received all kinds of precious presents that they usually didn’t bother about. 

But now, they were vigorously fighting over things that weren’t even rare. 

It was merely because the presents were from the princess of the Bailey family! 

Even if the presents were merely weeds, they would beat each other to a pulp over them. 

Seeing the responses, Peter closed the chat group. 

He then began to pick a present for himself. 

Marina, who returned to her room, had no idea that her unintentional action ignited a commotion among the Bailey family 

members. 

Marina came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. 

When she sat on her bed, she couldn’t help but glance at the shopping bag next to the bed. 

She suddenly recalled that she didn’t get the man’s contact details. 

She didn’t even find out what the man’s name was 

But why did she feel as though she had known him for a long time? 

Marina put down the towel in her hand and recalled his car number plate 

Then, she reached for the laptop at her side. 

Her slender fingers tapped the keyboard swiftly. 

She found the owner of the car very quickly 

When she saw the name, the squinted. Her beautiful eyes narrowed into slits. 

She thought to herself. “How could it be 

There was 

surge of emotion in her eyes. 

She wondered to herself. Did I make a mistake?” 

It was impossible that she misremembered the car number plate 

She then decided: her head. “Maybe I should go and take a look tomorrow” 

Marina turned off her laptop and prepared to turn in for the night 

She reached for the blanket next to her, and her face turned gloomy instantly 

She then stormed out of her room, holding her blanket. She rushed downstairs and shouted at Peter, who wa out a present for himself 

“What did you do to my blanke 

Peter was 

ngrossed in picking a present and had not heard her question. 

still picking 

“Lasked you what you did to my blanket.” Marina repeated. 

Her voice was even colder than before 

“Nothing. I just washed it for you because I was worried that germs would be on the blanket. So I took the initiative to disinfect the blanket thoroughly Peter said, looking proud of himself 

Marina was furious. 

“You don’t have to thank me for it. It is what I should do,” Peter said, wearing a wide smile. 

“Ridiculous“” Marina reprimanded, throwing the blanket in her hands at his face 

She then stormed back to her room and slammed the door behind her 

She needed the smell of her blanket to comfort herself 

But in the end, he had washed the smell off entirely 

Peter was standing downstairs then. His was shook, and his heart skipped a beat when he heard the loud slam of the door 

He then pulled down the blanket hanging over his head in a daze. 

What did he do wrong! 

Why was Marina so angry? 

Wasn’t she a clean freak‘ 

He washed the blanket thoroughly to make sure it was clean. 

He had even hand–washed it! 

Peter had no idea what had happened, nor could he figure out why. But he put the matter behind him soon enough. 

The most important task on hand then was to take care of the presents laid before him. 

However, just as he was about to pick a present for himself again, Lee suddenly appeared before him, blocking his view. 

“What are you doing? Get out of my way. I don’t have much time left!” Peter said, pushing Lee away. 

The people at home were waiting for him to send the things over. 

But no matter how Peter pushed Lee, he stood straight, refusing to move an inch. 

“Why are you here to disturb me as well? If you want to pick a present for yourself, wait till I’m done!” Peter was rather generous about it. 

“Miss Bailey said that your presents are to be confiscated” Lee said with a poker face, looking at Peter in front of him. 

“What?” Peter’s eyes opened wide when he heard that.
