Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 467

The wedding of Marina and Simon did not have any particularly complicated procedures.

They had completed all the procedures in just ten minutes.

The rest of the time was for their family and friends to get together.

Everyone seemed to be infected by today’s happiness.

Everyone’s faces were filled with smiles.

Chuck had been sitting on the chair the entire time. He looked at the scene in front of him with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Then, he slowly dropped his head on his hands which were holding his walking stick.

At this moment, the originally noisy lawn suddenly became extremely quiet. All of them gathered around Chuck.

Lifting the hem of her wedding dress, Marina immediately rushed up.

She carefully checked Chuck’s situation.

After confirming that Chuck was still breathing, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, she smiled and looked at her family.

“Grandpa is just tired. I’ll send him upstairs to rest.”

When Marina said so, everyone present let out a sigh of relief.

It was just that the people downstairs no longer had the passion to cheer after Marina sent Chuck upstairs.

All of their faces were filled with worry.

Chuck slept for a long time.

He only woke up at noon the following day.

Marina was by his bed when Chuck woke up.

“Grandpa, you’re awake” Marina heard the movement on the bed and immediately leaned forward.

Her voice was extremely gentle.

“Mm.” Chuck nodded.

He stared at Marina for a while as if distinguishing who the person in front of him was.

It took Chuck a while to recognize Marina.

Then he spoke slowly.

“You’ve just gotten married. Why are you guarding an old man like me instead of being with your newlywed husband?”

Chuck’s voice was weak. If one didn’t listen carefully, one might not be able to hear his words.

“My husband isn’t as important as you, Grandpa,” Marina said deliberately.

“Girl, you only know how to say nice things to coax me.

“If you really think Grandpa is that important, why are you so eager to get married?” said Chuck with a smile.

“Grandpa, you’re mistaken. I’m not getting married out. I’m marrying a grandson–in–law for you.

“Didn’t you always clamor for me to get married quickly? Now I’m finally married”

“Don’t you want to see your great–grandson? I’ve put the plan on my agenda.

“Your great–grandson should be born next year.

“As you know, Simon and I are especially busy. My parents are always not at home.

Tll have to trouble you to take care of the child for me again,” Marina said gently.

It was as if she was coaxing a child.

“I don’t want to take care of your child. It’s not easy to take care of a child. I want to… go find your grandma…” Chuck pretended to be mad and refused.

When Marina heard his last sentence, her eyes immediately turned red.

“Why are you looking for my grandma?” Marina tried to keep her voice steady.

dreamed about your grandma last night. She told me I was an irresponsible husband.

“When I married her, I said I would look after her for the rest of my life.”

“But I made her wait for me for so many years alone in the underworld. She said if I let her continue waiting, she wouldn’t marry me in her next life.

“How can that be? You know I took a fancy to your grandma at a glance back then.

“I have done so much to marry your grandma. I still want to be married to her in my next life.

“Marina… I can’t take care of you anymore….

“You… you must take good care of yourself….

*Luna, I’m coming to look for you…”

Chuck stared in a direction with a burning gaze.

There was a blissful smile in his eyes.”

It was as if he had seen the person he had always wanted to see.

Chuck trembled and reached out his hands.

Marina wondered if Chuck and Luna, her grandparents, had managed to hold each other’s hands eventually.

She only knew that Chuck closed his eyes with a smile.

The moment Chuck’s hand dropped. Marina grabbed it.

Tears were already welling up in her eyes, but she still didn’t let them fall.

Chuck hated to see her cry.

She couldn’t let Chuck leave in peace.

Marina looked at the old hand in her palms and slowly placed it beside Chuck.

Then, she began to reorganize Chuck’s appearance carefully.

“Grandpa, you don’t have to worry. Grandma definitely won’t be mad at you. She’ll always be waiting for you.

“You don’t have to worry about me either. Now, I understand what it means to part ways. I also have someone I want to spend the rest of my life with.

“I also know what kind of responsibility I’ve taken on. Don’t worry, I’ll absolutely protect the Bailey family for you.”

After Marina finished her words, Chuck’s face seemed even more peaceful in the bed.

After confirming that Chuck’s appearance had been reorganized, Marina slowly stood up and walked toward the door.

When she opened the door, she saw the Bailey family’s people who had been waiting outside all along.

“All of you… go inside and see Grandpa one last time.”

Everyone’s eyes turned red when Marina said so.

However, no one made much noise.

They entered the room one by one.

They went to see off Chuck, who had spent his whole life guarding them and the family. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Chuck’s funeral was not grand.

They didn’t even inform a few people.

Because they all knew that even if those people came, they only had all kinds of thoughts.

Few of them actually came to pay their respects to Chuck.

They wanted Chuck to leave quietly.

On the day Chuck was buried, it started to drizzle.

Marina was dressed in black and walked in front of the crowd.

Simon followed her step by step.

Marina slowly placed the ashes of Chuck into the tomb.

Then, she grabbed a handful of soil and gently sprinkled it on it.

Then the Bailey family and the others did the same.

The rain stopped after everyone was done.

A rainbow bloomed in the distant sky.

“Is Grandpa saying goodbye to me?” Marina muttered.

Simon said, “Marina, death cannot separate people. The only thing that can separate people is forgetting.

“As long as we always remember Chuck in our hearts, this is not a real parting.” Simon slowly held Marina’s hand.

“Yes, forgetting is the true farewell. Grandpa will never leave me.” Marina looked at the rainbow in the distance and slowly

smiled.

She wanted her grandfather to see the best of her.
