Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 484

“It’s not a matter of forgiving or not forgiving. This is how it should be!” Simon said firmly.

“Boys should be more resilient than girls. In our family, boys have to struggle and make their own careers.

“Your arrangement is very reasonable, and I have no objections!” Simon quickly replied.

Seeing his demeanor, the last bit of lingering unease in Marina’s heart disappeared.

Now, she only hoped that the children would not hold it against her when they grew up.

Marina had thought that after resolving the issue of the children’s names, the following days would be smooth.

Liule did she know that the next day, the people started arguing again.

The reason was that everyone wanted to feed the babies.

Marina did not have enough breast milk to satisfy both children, so she had to supplement with formula milk.

Feeding the babies became a fiercely contested task.

It was even more intense than the name dispute.

Marina had no choice but to assign each person a number for their turn to feed the babies.

And so, Marina’s postpartum care period came to an end in this bustling atmosphere.

On the day she returned home, the scene was nothing short of grandeur.

The entrance of the postpartum care center was nearly blocked by luxury cars, attracting a crowd of onlookers.

Everyone wanted to have the honor of having the twins ride in their cars, so they brought out all the best cars they had.

However, these people who were desperately trying to impress were completely unaware that Marina had already taken the twins and left in Jessica’s car, heading home.

“It’s all thanks to you today. Otherwise, I would not know when I’d be able to get back home.” Marina gratefully glanced at Jessica in the front seat.

“They just love the babies too much” Jessica comforted her with a reassuring smile.

“I know, and that’s precisely why it’s giving me a headache.” Marina felt helpless for the first time.

“It’s okay. Things will get better as the children grow older.

“If they knew how much love they have from all these people, they would certainly be very happy.” Jessica glanced at the little babies still lying in the cradle through the rearview mirror.

The expression on her face became much softer.

A child born amidst everyone’s blessings would become happy.

Throughout her life, Jessica had never seen any relatives rejoice for her birth.

But fortunately, she met Marina.

Marina did not take the children back to the residence of the Bailey family or the Hernandez family.

Instead, she had Jessica take them to the new house that Simon had prepared.

Although the house had been renovated, Marina and Simon had not moved in yet.

The main reason was to get rid of the new house smell.

The second reason was that the house was a bit too big for just the two of them, making it feel empty.

But with the addition of the two children, it was a whole different story.

After returning home, the nanny Simon had chosen was already waiting at the front gate.

Seeing their car stop, Gavin immediately led the nanny and servants forward.

“Mr. and Mrs. Hernandez Gavin greeted them respectfully.

“Bring the children up first.” Marina was still wrapped in a thick coat.

“Alright.” Gavin immediately instructed the nanny to take the children from the car.

“Be careful, be careful,” Gavin anxiously repeated.

He did not dare to step forward but was also afraid that others might hurt Mr. Harry and Miss Emily.

The baby room in the house had been prepared long ago.

After the nanny took the children upstairs, she placed them in their cribs.

Both babies were exceptionally well–behaved and easy to handle. They basically just ate, drank, and slept all day. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

So, until now, neither Marina nor Simon had experienced the hardships of taking care of babies.

After settling the two little ones, Marina finally had time to have a good chat with Jessica.

The two sat on the couch on the balcony, and their expressions showed some changes.

Marina had more maternal radiance, while Jessica appeared more mature, stable, and composed.

“It seems you’ve been doing well during your time abroad.” Marina smiled at Jessica.

“Actually… in the beginning, it was really tough.

“There were several times I almost gave up and wanted to come back to find you.” Jessica laughed a little in embarrassment.

“Then why didn’t you contact me?” Marina had never changed her phone number

As long as Jessica wanted to contact her, she could do so anytime.

“Because I did not want to rely on you for everything. I wanted to protect you just like you have protected me!” Jessica’s gaze was resolute.

“Jessica, you don’t need to hold onto this matter so strongly. I’ve never sought for you to protect me.

“My only wish is for you to live happily,” said Marina gently.

“I know, and I also know that you worry I might be trapped by this obsession and lose my way.

“But, Marina, I can sincerely tell you that protecting you is something I have always wanted to do.

“Even if it’s just to share a bit of your worries, it’s enough to make me happy.

“Marina, I have grown up completely now. Are you willing to keep me by your side? Let me help you?” Jessica’s last words were deeply serious.

If you listened to her carefully, you could even hear a trace of caution and delicacy in her inquiry.

Staring into her eyes for a moment and confirming that there was no reluctance, a smile finally appeared on Marina’s face.

“Of course, I’m willing!

“Welcome back!”

Jessica’s face also blossomed with a brilliant smile in response to those words.

Looking at Jessica’s confident and composed demeanor, Marina picked up the latte in front and took a sip.

Then, she asked tentatively.

“How are things between you and… Peter?”

As soon as she heard Peter’s name, Jessica’s eyes could not help but flicker.

But she quickly regained her composure.

“My relationship with him ended a long time ago,” said Jessica calmly.

But it was precisely because she was too calm that Marina sensed a hint of strangeness in her gaze.

“Jessica, I did not mean anything else by asking you this question.

“No matter what decision you make, I will support you. If you don’t like the fact that Peter always being around you, I can have Aunt Daisy arrange for him to work in another country.” Marina said earnestly.

Meanwhile, Jessica’s hand that was holding the cup paused a little.
