Marina nodded, tilting her head up to look at him. She said softly. “I’ll take you to the airport”
Deron nodded. With his witcase in one hand and Marina in the other, they headed out together,
After they left, Belinda emerged from the corner, smiling as she watched the two of them leave side by side.
Finally, I have something nice to tell Harris, the thought to herself.
On the way to the airport, Marina comadn’t help but fuss over Daron, reminding him about all the like things he should pary

“It’s getting colder in Fremy, so make sure you wear your coat when you head out in the morning, so you don’t catch a cold.
And remember she said
Daron sat quietly beside her, listening as she went through every detail, a small stile playing on his lips.
It wasn’t until they reached the airport that Marina finally fell silent
The driver parked the car in the lot and got out to open the back door for Daron

Before getting out, Daron pulled Marina into his arms and brushed a soft kiss against the corner of her lips.
“Head home now. I’ll come back as soon as I’ve taken care of things in Frency? he said.
Marina nodded earnestly. I know.”
As she bent to get out, Daron reached out to stop her.
Just stay in the car. It’s windy out there, Daron said.
Marina looked up at him, hesitated for a second, then quietly replied, “Okay”
Daron’s assistant stepped out of another car and took the luggage from the driver. When he spotted Marina in the back see he greeted her, “Ms. Finley,”
Marina nodded, finally feeling her heart relax a little now that she saw Daron had someone going with him to Frency
She kept her eyes fixed on Daron’s back until he disappeared from view. Only then did she turn away and instruct the driver
“Let’s go,” she said.
Seeing the worry in Marina’s eyes, the driver tried to comfort her.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Finley. Mr. Zamora will be just fine,” he assured her.
This time, Daron was heading to Frency with a squad of bodyguards.
Marina nodded softly, replying in a quiet tone, “He’s got skills you wouldn’t believe. I trust him.”
As she spoke, Marina gazed out the window.
The driver glanced at her in the rearview mirror, saw that she had fallen silent, and kept quiet the whole way back to the
villa.
When Marina got back, Belinda had finished tidying up and was about to call it a day. Seeing Marina walk in, she came over.
“Mrs. Zamora, didn’t you go on a business trip with Mr. Zamora?” Belinda asked.
She’d seen Marina and Daron leave together earlier and assumed they were both going on the trip.
Marina shook her head and replied softly, “I didn’t go.”
Seeing how brief her answer was, Belinda knew better than to press further
“If you need anything, Mrs. Zamora, just say the word, Belinda offered.
I’m heading to my room now, she added.
Marina nodded and headed upstairs.
Belinda noticed Marina looked a bit down and let out a soft sigh. But knowing how inseparable Marina and Daron usually were, it was no wonder Marina felt a little lonely with him away on business.
After getting ready for bed, Marina returned to her room and lay down, but no matter what she did, she couldn’t fall asleep.
After about an hour of restlessness, she finally went downstairs to dig through her bag for some medicine.

But she found nothing.
She sat there quietly for a few seconds, then it hit her. She’d thrown out all her meds the day after she married Canon
With no other choice, Marina headed back to her room.
into She tossed and turned for hours, but after midnight, the familiar scent in her room finally helped her drifs in a shallow sleep.
The next morning, Marina’s body clock woke her up.
As soon as Marina opened her eyes, she looked over at the empty spot beside her.
It was still just the way she’d left it last night. For a moment, she felt a pang of emptiness. She grabbed her phone and glanced at the screen.
Daron had sent her a message.
[I’ve arrived safely. No need to worry.]
The message came in about an hour ago. It looked like his plane had just touched down.
Marina edited her reply and sent it off.
[Stay safe.]
She was about to set her phone down and get up to wash up when it suddenly started ringing
Marina picked up her phone. It was Daron calling.
She answered, holding the phone to her ear.
Daron’s deep voice came through.
“Up so early?” he asked.
Marina let out a soft “mm–hmm,” then replied, “I’m used to getting up around this time.”
There was a touch of resignation in Daron’s voice.
He said, “You still have three hours before work, and it only takes fifteen minutes to get to the office. You could sleep in until eight and get a little more rest.
“I know things at Finley Group have been hectic lately. Just make sure you’re getting enough sleep, so you have the energy to handle everything”
Listening to Daron, Marina felt a gentle warmth in her heart and replied softly, ‘I got it.”
Things at Finley Group weren’t exactly difficult to manage, but they sure drained her energy. With the Finley Group shifting gears and the pilot programs showing great results, she had to stay on her toes.
There was always the risk that someone might try to exploit loopholes and undermine the Finley Group’s interess
Hearing her reply, Daron softened his tone, saying, “Go ahead and get a little more sleep. I’ll give you a call at eight to wake

you,
Marina glanced at the time on her phone and asked, “Aren’t you going to rest for a bit? I can get up by myself
Daron had just landed in Frency after an all–night flight. He must be wiped out.
If he didn’t get some rest, where would he find the energy to deal with everything going on at the Frency branch?
Marina didn’t want him stressing over her minor concerns. He had much bigger things to handle on his end.
Daron said, ‘I’m already at the branch office.”
Marina said nothing.
Guess things are that bad. He can’t even catch a break, she thought.
Seeing Marina go quiet, Daron didn’t want her to worry, so he added, “I’m resting in the office.”
Marina bit her lip and replied, “You don’t have to keep anything from me. I know things must be tough over there. That’s why you had to go yourself.”
After all, Leo used to run the whole Zamora Group himself.
Leo knew all the ways to make things tough for the Zamora Group and for Daron.
Since he was determined to clear the path for Victor, he’d make sure Daron never had it easy.
There are parents out there who don’t love their own kids.
Marina knew this all too well after what happened between her mom and Carter.
