“Are you out of your mind! Don’t you understand what I’m saying?” Mary raised her hand and hit Sam.
“Huh? What do you mean?” Sam looked confused.
He really didn’t hear anything else just now.
Sam only heard his wife say that she thought of another man.
Mary was speechless.
“What I mean is that I think of Simon’s father as a fickle, ungrateful man as soon as I see Simon.”
“Lyla is such a nice person. She thought of him in everything, but how did he treat her in the end?
“That man is cold–blooded. As the saying goes, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
“I don’t believe a man like him can give birth to any infatuated person.”
Sam comforted Mary, “You are a bit far–fetched, aren’t you? His business was a matter of the previous generation. Simon is at the present. How can you deny Simon because of his father?”
Mary said, “But Simon’s father’s blood flows in his body. His father’s genes are in his body.
“Didn’t you see what Marina looks like now? Every time she talks about Simon. I can’t help but think of Lyla.
“I’m scared that Marina is gonna end up like Lyla!”
Because only Mary and Sam were here, Mary did not hide her real emotions.
“She won’t. Besides, Simon also is Lyla’s child. Why can’t you trust Simon more?” said Sam, making his voice as soft as possible.
“It’s precisely because Simon is Lyla’s child that I’m so conflicted now!
“Otherwise, do you think I would let him continue to appear in front of Marina?” said Mary, her chest heaving.
“Okay, okay. Don’t be upset over such a small matter.
“You have to trust our daughter. She’s always been a very opinionated person.
“Let’s not talk about Simon’s character. Even though Simon does let Marina down one day, isn’t there a whole family of us here? We’ve been the strongest supporters of Marina.
“If that brat Simon dares to bully Marina, I’ll be the first to go after him!” Sam’s eyes could not help but reveal a trace of cruelty when he said so.
Although Sam was smiling and looking like a good person, he, after all, was from the Bailey family.
How could a child who grew up in such a family be mediocre?
“Yes. We can settle scores with him later, but if one is hurt, the wound in one’s heart will never heal,” said Mary. Her eyes could not help but be tainted with sadness.
She had always wanted to seek justice for Lyla back then.
So what?
Lyla was gone in the end.
Sam said, “Don’t take things too pessimistically. I think Marina and Simon are fine together.
“The children are all grown up, and we should learn to let them go. If they suffer any harm during this process, it is also something they should bear at their age. After all, which young person doesn’t experience setbacks?”
Sam was quite open–minded to that.
The children of the Bailey family had grown up straight out of frustration.
“That’s easy for you to say, but what if Marina falls down and can’t get up for the rest of her life?” Mary was furious when she heard Sam’s words.
“Well… Sam still wanted to explain something more. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
However, Mary did not give Sam a chance at all.
She interrupted him.
“I know you’ve liked Simon, but this is our daughter’s lifelong happiness. How can you only care about your preferences? “You’re not worried about our daughter at all. You don’t care about Marina at all!” said Mary. Then she got up and went straight to her bedroom.
Sam immediately became aggrieved and quickly followed Mary.
However, Mary slammed the door in his face.
Sam’s nose was almost flattened.
Sam was speechless.
“Honey, I really didn’t mean that. Marina is my daughter. How can I not care about her?
“Honey, open the door. You can scold or hit me if you’re mad. But don’t lock yourself up, please.
“Honey…” Sam patted the door pitifully, but the person inside did not respond.
Meanwhile, Marina had returned to her room.
They had been here for almost three days.
No one knew how long it would take before Simon resolved his matters.
If they continued to stay here like this, the mother–daughter relationship between Mary and Marina might become tense. Sigh…
Marina let out a long sigh.
“What’s wrong? Are you too bored here?” A familiar voice suddenly sounded at this moment.
Marina sat up from bed just in time to see Simon walking over from the door.
“Why are you back?” An excited expression appeared on Marina’s face when she saw Simon.
“I was afraid you would be bored here alone, so I came back. Simon went forward to catch Marina.
“Are you done with your matters?” Marina looked up and asked.
“It’s all done. We can leave today if you want,” Simon said.
“Really?” Marina was a little surprised.
It was as if she had got her wish!
She was thinking about leaving just now.
“Then let’s leave the place as soon as possible!” Marina said firmly.
“Okay.” Simon nodded.
Then, the group followed Carter and left.
They did not need to return along the same way.
Instead, they went out through another exit.
There was no need to climb mountains and wade through water.
“Mr. Hernandez, go home and wait for my news. I’ll go straight to you if I have any clues,” said Carter, who looked in his fifties.
However, Carter was particularly energetic.
Marina looked at his hands by his sides.
She felt that they must have been stained with a lot of blood..
“Okay” Simon nodded.
Then, he left with Marina, Sam, and Mary.
The group then returned to the inn they had stayed in previously.
They were warmly cared for by the boss as soon as they returned.
“You guys haven’t been back for so many days. I thought something had happened to you. I was wondering if I should call the police,” said the boss.
“We’re fine. We just saw that the scenery around here is pretty good, so we went for a tour, Simon explained.
“What scenery can there be around here? You people from the big city have different tastes from us country bumpkins.” The boss was relieved to see that they were fine.
Simon, Marina, Sam, and Mary began to pack after returning to their room.
After all, the purpose of the journey had been accomplished.
However, Mary and Sam did not travel with Marina.
