Chapter 116
Marina took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Then, she opened the door and got out of the car.
“Why are you here? You can’t sleep without me, can you?” Simon’s gaze was as gentle as ever.
However, he was the head of the Hernandez family, and how could he be a pure and harmless person? It was impossible.
“Simon Hernandez, why do you want to marry me? I want to hear the truth!” Marina stared at Simon with a burning gaze.
It was hard to understand the emotion in her deep eyes.
“Grandpa told you everything, didn’t he?” Simon asked.
“Yes, he did!” Marina replied, “We two have only known each other for a month. I want to know why on earth you. want to marry me.”
“Who say’s that we’ve only known each other for a month? When we were very young, you hugged my leg and said that you wanted to be my bride. Have you forgotten it?” A faint smile appeared on Simon’s face.
“Don’t use those things that happened when we were very young to prevaricate me. I’m asking you very seriously now!” Marina frowned.
This time, she would not let Simon fool her again.
Seeing Marina like this, Simon sighed as if he had not heard anything.
Then, he took a step forward and stood in front of Marina.
The distance between the two of them was so close that Marina could kiss Simon’s lips when she only needed to raise her head.
“Marina, you still haven’t recognized who I am, have you?” Simon said with a few sighs.
“What do you mean by that?” Marina frowned.
“At the Johnstone Hotel in Solemwood one year ago,” Simon reminded her word by word.
At first, Marina could not react, but when she heard the name of the hotel, her pupils suddenly constricted.
“Don’t tell me you…” Marina stared at Simon.
“That’s right. I was the person that night.” Simon confirmed Marina’s guess.
“How could the person be you?” Marina’s eyes were flashing violently.
She had thought that it was all designed by Sophia that night and that Sophia must have randomly found ant
unknown man.
“That night, I was also going after the Key to the Akister Treasure. I accidentally fell into a trap and you happened to appear in front of me.
“Marina, I had been looking for you for an entire year. I recognized you the day we two met again.
“But you don’t have a good memory. I’ve been by your side for so long, and yet you didn’t remember anything.

“I had planned to wait for you to remember me yourself. But now, if I didn’t say it now, you would probably suspect that I have ulterior motives.” Simon sighed slightly.
Meanwhile, Marina was a little stunned.
She thought, “The person that night was Simon?
“No wonder I always feel that his scent is a little familiar.
“So, this is the reason?”
“This…” Marina was at a loss for words.
“Marina, this is the arrangement of destiny. You are destined to be my bride.” Simon stared at Marina with burning
eyes.
Marina blinked and recovered a little.
“But this doesn’t make sense. Must you marry me just because of a misunderstanding?”
“Marina, do you really know nothing about your charm?” Simon narrowed his eyes and gazed at Marina.
His honest and explicit gaze almost made Marina’s body burn.
Under Simon’s gaze, she felt as if she had been naked.
“You hooligan!” Marina immediately wrapped her clothes tightly around herself.
Simon could not help but chuckle when he saw what she was doing.
“Marina, that’s not what I meant by charm,” Simon explained.
Marina was speechless.
“Of course, this kind of charm of yours is irresistible,” Simon added.
Marina didn’t know what to say.
Why did she suddenly feel like biting him?
“When I woke up that night, you were no longer there. I had been looking for you for the entire year.
“Even on my way to Solemwood, I was wondering if I would be able to meet you again.
“Unexpectedly, Heaven had heard my prayers. I met you again the night I arrived at Solemwood.
“Since that night a year ago, I had been yearning for you.
“And during the time I spent with you in Solemwood, I was even more certain that you were the person I had been looking for.
“Marina, don’t doubt my sincerity to you. After all, you grabbed the bottom of my pants when you were offered the chance to grab things on the occasion of your first birthday. So, we’re destined to be together.”
Simon lowered his head slightly and looked at Marina with a fiery gaze.
Marina could not bear his gaze anymore and subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

However, Simon grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him.
“Marina, what are you avoiding?” Simon’s voice was hoarse.
“What am avoiding?” Marina was reluctant to admit defeat.
E
“So, are you willing to accept my proposal now?” Simon did not expose her and only asked in a hoarse voice.
Marina’s
eyes flashed. “Are you really willing to marry into my family?”
Simon said, “Yes, I am.”
“But you’re the head of the Hernandez family. Are people from the Hernandez family willing to let you marry into my family?” Marina raised her eyebrows.
“You just said that I am the Hernandez family’s head. Since I am the family head, my words shall be respected.” Simon wore a slightly unquestionable and domineering expression on his face.
“Hmph, aren’t you afraid that you’ll be removed from the position of the family head someday?” Marina snorted.
“Marina, if that day comes, will you be willing to take me in?” Simon’s eyes were filled with smiles.
Marina coughed.
“If you are reliable, then it’ll be possible for me to take you in.” Marina raised her chin proudly.
Simon chuckled. “Marina, then when that day comes, I’ll have to rely on you.”
“Let’s talk about it later.” Marina cleared her throat. Then she said, “I’ll go back now.”
However, as soon as she turned around, Simon grabbed her wrist.
“It’s getting late. I’ma little worried about you driving back alone.”
After all, he had experienced Marina’s driving skills.
“What’s there to worry about? I drove here alone.” Marina snorted.
“But I didn’t know that you drove here alone. Now that I have known that you plan to drive back alone, how can I let you do that?” Simon was very determined.
“Then you drive me back, will you?” Marina raised her voice.
“I’ve already entered your bedroom. Courtesy demands reciprocity. Since now you are in my house, shouldn’t I invite you to take a look at my bedroom?” Simon’s eyes lit up.
Marina didn’t say anything.
