Chapter 198
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Marina slowly put away her iPad and gave Robert a video call.
After doing all this, she raised her voice and said loudly, “Come in.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a particularly pitiful–looking girl walked in.
Marina raised an eyebrow and looked at her.
Lily was even better looking than in the photos.
She was the kind of delicate and pitiful supporting female role in movies and dramas.
She didn’t have to do anything. All she had to do was look at one with red eyes and a weak expression. Then one would want to give everything to her.
After meeting Lily in person, Marina suddenly felt that Robert could not be blamed.
How could Robert resist such a pretty girl?
“Guys, you look a little unfamiliar. Is this your first time here?” When Lily saw that there was a woman in the private room, she did not sit beside Simon immediately.
Instead, she sat next to Marina sensibly.
More importantly, she didn’t even look at Simon.
“It’s indeed my first time here,” Marina said casually.
“Miss, what do you want to play? Sing? Or play cards? I know a little about massage and beauty treatment.
“But your skin looks too good. You probably don’t need my help. Why don’t I cut some fruits for you?”
Lily kept flattering Marina, making Marina feel so comfortable.
“Sure.” Marina seemed to be interested. Her gaze never left Lily.
“Miss, this watermelon is especially sweet. Try it.” Lily picked up a piece of watermelon and gently brought it to Marina’s mouth.
“Yes, it’s indeed sweeter than what I’ve eaten in the past. Is it because you’re sweet as well?” Marina was very proficient in this set of flirtatious methods.
Lily was so shy and instantly blushed.
“Miss, you must be joking. Compared to you, I’m really ashamed.”
“How can that be? I’m telling the truth. You know, I like cuties like you the most. You’re good with words and know how to take care of others,” Marina said as she gently lifted Lily’s chin.
Their eyes met, and even the air seemed to be tainted with a hint of sweetness.
Simon was shocked.
Gavin, who was standing at the side, was confused as well.
What the hell was going on?
Didn’t they come here to test Miss Lily’s sincerity toward Mr. Robert?

Why did Miss Bailey start to flirt with Lily?
Ahem…
Simon could not stand it anymore and coughed.
He reminded Marina not to go too far.
Hearing the commotion, Marina turned around to look at Simon, but her eyes were somewhat casual..
Robert, who was also on the other end of the video call, was so excited that he almost jumped up from the bed.
Previously, he was only concerned about preventing his Uncle Simon and Gavin from having any ideas about Lily.
Who knew that in the end, the most dangerous person was actually his Auntie Marina!
What a miscalculation!
“Miss, does he not like me? I didn’t do anything wrong. I just wanted to get closer to you because you are so good–looking” Lily pretended to be scared, glanced at Simon, and shrank behind Marina.
That look definitely made one want to protect her.
“Don’t worry about him. He has caught a cold recently. His throat is not feeling well,” Marina said calmly.
“Really? Then move a little closer to me. Don’t let him infect you with his cold. Otherwise, my heart will ache,” Lily said as she moved to the side.
She was so thoughtful.
Simon was speechless.
Gavin felt that it was ridiculous.
They were two men sitting there, but Miss Lily didn’t look at them at all.
In the end, all her attention was focused on Miss Bailey.
Meanwhile, Robert, who was in the ward, was so anxious that his eyes turned red.
“Lily, you have to open your eyes and look carefully. Don’t snatch her from my Uncle Simon!”
Robert was shouting very excitedly, but Marina had long silenced her phone.
Lily couldn’t hear him at all.
“Alright, I’ll do what you say. Come closer.” Marina cooperated and moved to the side.
Simon was stunned.
It seemed that he could not let Marina out casually in the future.
She could even flirt with a woman!
“Do you know Robert?” Simon did not want to waste any more time and asked directly.
“Robert? You’re talking about Mr. Robert. He’s my guest. He’s been here a few times. Do you know him?” Lily looked over.
“How’s your relationship?” Although Simon was asking Lily, his eyes were fixed on Marina all the time.
He only wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible and leave this godforsaken place with Marina.

“Our relationship is alright. Mr. Robert is a generous person. Moreover, I’m a very upright person. Previously, when I was almost bullied, he was the one who helped me,” Lily said honestly.
“So he’s just a guest in your heart?” Simon narrowed his eyes.
“Yeah, why?” Lily looked at Simon in confusion.
It was as if she had no idea what had happened.
Meanwhile, Robert, who was originally excited in the ward, was petrified when he heard this.
Just… a friend?
Were they just friends?
They were clearly lovers!
They were a life–and–death couple!
“Miss, don’t tell me even you don’t believe me.” Seeing that everyone was staring at her, Lily immediately lowered her head in grievances, her eyes filled
with tears.
It really made one’s heart ache.
When a beauty cried, Marina’s heart naturally ached.
She immediately reached out and was about to comfort Lily.
However, Simon grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to his side.
Then, he gave Marina a warning look.
Marina rubbed her nose guiltily.
She did not do anything else.
“Alright, you can leave now,” Simon said to Lily.
Lily looked at Marina again.
After confirming that Marina had no intention of keeping her, she stood up miserably.
She said softly, “Miss, if you come again in the future, you must meet me.”
“Alright…” Marina was about to agree, but halfway through, Simon looked over.
She was forced to swallow the last half of her sentence.
Lily looked back while walking out, looking like a pitiful little girl whose marriage had been broken up by a villain.
After Lily left, Simon stared at Marina in his arms with a serious expression.
