Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 468

Marina successfully took over the head position of the Bailey family after Chuck passed away.

The seat was reserved for her.

No one in the Bailey family had any objections.

After all, Chuck had been training Marina as the future heir for so many years. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Among them, some were happy, while others were gratified.

Some people looked forward to it.

However, there was one sad person.

The person was Mary, Marina’s mother.

Mary watched Marina, sitting on the top seat, introduce herself to the people from the Bailey family’s side branches.

Mary only felt her heart tighten.

She quietly left the table.

Sam naturally chased after Mary without hesitation.

Mary stood alone in the garden and wiped her tears secretly.

“What’s going on?” Sam immediately went forward to ask Mary.

“It’s nothing. It’s just that the wind is too strong and blew into my eyes, Mary explained in a steady voice.

Sam smiled helplessly.

“Why are you still so stubborn at a time like this?” said Sam.

“I’m not being stubborn. I’m just…” Mary choked again in the middle of her sentence.

Then she glanced back into the hall.

Marina’s expression was solemn and proper.

Marina did not have the innocence and vitality a young lady in her twenties should have.

Mary only took a glance before looking away.

Because she couldn’t bear to.

“I regret it sometimes. I regret why I gave birth to her as a girl. Why I gave birth to such a clever girl,” said Mary in a hoarse

voice.

“Tell me. Would she not have to bear so much if she was a little clumsy?

“I know that the outsiders are all envious of me for having a daughter who can inherit the family. “But how do they know what I want? How do they know what my daughter has done for all this?

“As a mother, I don’t need my daughter to be so outstanding or make great achievements. “What I hope most is that she can grow up step by step like an ordinary girl.

“Not just to inherit the family business and keep learning fast.

“Do you know why I’d rather hide in the mountains than go home?

“Because I once watched Marina practice in the wrestling room.

“She’s such a little child, but she’s been thrown out by the coach time after time.

“Marina was bruised from the falls but still had to get up.

“If it were any other little girl, she would have cried and shouted she didn’t want to practice anymore.

“However, Marina didn’t cry or even shed a tear.

“When she fell, she got up again. When she bled, she just wiped it casually.

“Because she knew that she should bear all of those.

“But she was clearly a little girl who would throw herself into my arms and cry out in pain when she fell lightly in the past.”

The more Mary spoke, the more uncomfortable she felt. Her tears fell uncontrollably.

Mary had once wanted to come over and change everything.

She wanted her little daughter to grow up happily.

However, she could not do it.

Mary could not take Marina away with her.

Because there was Marina’s family here, and more importantly, it was Marina’s choice.

So the only thing Mary could do was try not to look, not to think.

Mary could pretend nothing had happened as long as she did not see it.

Mary knew that her thoughts were very similar to those of ostriches.

But this was the only thing she could do as Marina’s mother.

After all, she would never have watched Marina get hurt like that if she had stayed home.

“Okay, okay. It is all in the past. Don’t think about it anymore.” Sam reached out and hugged Mary.

“In the past? It can’t pass at all!

“As long as she sits in that position, she will endure even more in the future than before! Mary’s eyes were red.

There is no such thing as stress–free glory in this world.

Since one has enjoyed unparalleled glory.

Then one has the same weight of responsibility.

If anything happened to the Bailey family in the future.

Marina was definitely the first to be sacrificed.

Among so many generations of family heads, no one could sit in the position steadily until the end of their lives.

Even Chuck had made a big sacrifice back then.

In order to protect the Bailey family, Chuck couldn’t even protect his wife.

The pain entangled Chuck for the rest of his life.

Sam said, “But it is Marina’s choice. I believe she has come to the realization.

“After all, the greater one’s ability is, the greater the responsibility one has to bear.

“God gave Marina an extraordinary brain. She was destined not to live like an ordinary person.” Sam always knew what his wife was thinking.

Sam also knew how much he owed Mary and Marina.

It was also because of it that Sam he had been with Mary all these years.

He just wanted to make up for what he owed Mary and Marina.

Mary said, “It’s destined? There’s nothing certain in this world. It’s all because men like you always want to inherit the family business for thousands of years.

“I knew it, but I shouldn’t have married you.

“If I didn’t marry you, Marina wouldn’t have been born into the Bailey family, and she wouldn’t be working so hard as she does now!” Mary became anxious as she spoke.

Mary pushed Sam away and turned to leave.

“Honey, wait for me. Honey.” Sam was scolded so miserable, but he still quickly chased after Mary.

Mary didn’t say anything wrong after all.

If Mary hadn’t married him, none of this would have happened.

The one who loves one’s child the most in this world always is the child’s mother.

Every child is once a fairy in the sky.

They are all looked after by a group of gentle and kind angels.

But there are no angels in the world.

So when children come into the world, God creates the mothers for them on earth.

Meanwhile, Marina was dealing with various things.

She had just supervised the Bailey family and had a lot of things to do.

There were also many things that needed to be alternated.

Therefore, Marina was so busy that she did not notice her parents‘ abnormality.

By the time she was finally free, it was already midnight.

Marina dragged her tired body back to her room.

A warm light came from the room when she pushed open the door..

Marina’s fatigue seemed to have slowly dissipated at this moment.

There was still a person waiting for her at home.

“You’re back.” A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind Marina.

Marina turned around and saw Simon standing behind her.

He was holding a bowl in his hand.
