The Miraculous Simone Gray

Chapter 71: He Is Truly Her Own Flesh and Blood

After Simone finished speaking, she shifted her gaze away from Leon.

She playfully nudged Zac’s arm.

Then she pointed to the open magazine and asked, “Have you been here?” She was flipping through a travel magazine and happened to come across an article about a beautiful island.

In addition to cutting ties with the scumbags and focusing on work to prolong her life, if she had a second chance, she also wanted to enjoy life fully and travel to different places whenever she had the opportunity.

Zac’s eyes filled with amusement. Simone’s action of nudging his arm just now was so adorable! He leaned over to look at the magazine page and said, “I’ve actually been there. Although it’s a small island, but…” Zac continued, passionately introducing the island to Simone.

Simone’s eyes also lit up with a smile. She was very interested and said, “When I have the time, I want to go there.”

Zac immediately invited her in a low voice, “I’m familiar with this place, and I know a great diving spot that few people go to. How about I take you there?”

She considered Zac a friend, so she didn’t refuse and replied, “Sure, we can ask Keira if she wants to come too, or we can invite a few more friends to join us.”

Going out with a group of people would be lively and fun.

Zac actually wanted to go alone with Simone, but he knew it wasn’t possible. Otherwise, if they were photographed and it ended up online, it might turn into a scandal about the two of them being in a relationship.

He wasn’t afraid of those things himself, but he was afraid it would have a negative impact on her.

He took the opportunity to finalize the plan and said, “Then, it’s settled.”

He deliberately looked at Leon, who was still standing nearby and listening to their conversation, with a hint of disdain. “Leon, what are you still doing here? The show is already over!” In other words, stop acting here.

Just as Leon was about to speak, a flight attendant walked over. She politely asked him to return to his seat as the plane was about to take off.

He swallowed the words he was about to say and maintained his composure as he nodded at the flight attendant. “Alright!” He took one last deep look at Zac and Simone before turning back to his seat.

Once seated, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep with a serious expression on his face.

Because they were sitting close by, he could still hear Simone’s cheerful tone as she discussed with Zac how they would explore the island.

What hurt him the most was that Zac suggested going together, and Simone actually agreed.

After breaking up and cutting ties with him, she could still be so happy and make plans with someone else. He didn’t believe it.

Jodie, sitting near her brother, her eyes filled with gloom. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have believed it.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

When they were together, he would go along with her but still maintained a cold and formal demeanor.

Seeing Simone like this made Jodie angry. She thought, “Simone should still be heartbroken.”

Aaron listened intently to Simone and Zac’s conversation and couldn’t help but feel jealous.

Not even I have taken Simone to go on trips, so why does he get the chance? This guy is constantly getting close to her.

Looking at his appearance, it was like a loyal dog wagging its tail. Shamelessly seeking favor from her.

After about three hours, the plane arrived at Cebros Airport.

The production team escorted Simone and the other guests off the plane and headed toward the exit.

Halfway there, a voice filled with joy suddenly sounded from ahead. “Simone!” Simone heard the familiar voice and looked up.

She saw a beautiful and tall woman waving at her from the crowd.

This was her best friend, Gwen Foster, who was also Leon’s twin sister.

They used to have a good relationship as siblings, but after Leon’s involvement in Simone’s problems, they gradually drifted apart.

On the first day they met, Gwen found Simone very likable and compatible.

The longer they played and spent time together, the deeper their bond became, making them each other’s best friends.

She showed a surprised smile, “Gwen!”

Gwen rushed over, embracing Simone tightly. “Darling, I’ve missed you so much!”

Simone reached out and hugged her back. “I’ve missed you too.”

After they let go, Simone linked arms with Gwen and asked as they walked, “Why did you come back?” Gwen had a conflict with her family before, and coincidentally, the person she liked went abroad, so she followed.

In her previous life, Gwen didn’t come back before she passed away, but they had always kept in touch.

Whenever Simone had a fight or was in a silent treatment bout with Leon, Gwen would always stand by her side.

So, seeing Gwen suddenly, she was truly surprised.

Gwen looked at Simone with a tender gaze and said, “Because I saw what was trending. I knew you were coming back to Cebros today, so I bought a ticket and flew back. I was planning to go back to the apartment first to surprise you. But as I was walking, I overheard people talking about you, and when I turned around, we unexpectedly met at the airport.”

She saw Simone being bullied and having a fight with her brother.

Worried that Simone might get hurt or upset, she rushed back to be with her.

Simone felt warm in her heart and leaned her head against Gwen’s shoulder. “I’m fine. You’re the best, Gwen.”

Gwen indulged her. “Of course. I’m your heart warmer.”

Leon was surprised to see his sister suddenly appear.

Now, seeing his sister getting cozy with Simone, it was as if she hadn’t even noticed him, her brother.

He couldn’t help but speak up. “Gwen, did you tell the family about your sudden return?”

Upon hearing Leon’s words, Gwen turned to look at him.

She retorted, “Why should I?”

Leon frowned. “If you don’t tell them, how will they prepare?”

Gwen pouted. “No need for preparation. I’m not going back.”

Leon emphasized, “But that’s your home.”

Gwen rolled her eyes and said, “I don’t care, and I don’t want to go back and deal with that woman.”

Leon’s brow furrowed even deeper as he replied, “She’s your mother.”

His sister had misled him. Whenever he thought of or mentioned their mother, he automatically associated her with that person.

Gwen impatiently waved her hand and said, “Don’t mention her to me. It’s annoying just to hear about her.”

Then, she let go of Simone’s arm and turned to face her older brother.

She looked him up and down, scanning Leon from head to toe.

Leon was puzzled and asked, “What are you doing?”

Gwen showed a look of disdain and replied, “I’m looking at my dear brother, who turns out to be a cheating scumbag.”

Leon’s face darkened as he said, “Gwen, you can’t talk to me like that.”

Gwen sneered and said, “Not only do I talk like that, but I also want to beat you up.”

And then, to everyone’s surprise, she raised her hand and punched Leon’s left cheek.

While he was still trying to react, she continued to hit him all over.

“Leon, you bastard, how dare you team up with those shameless people and bully my Simone. I’m giving you a taste of your own medicine for bullying my Simone. After returning to Cebros, you haven’t learned anything but how to be cold and disgusting like that woman. You are truly her own flesh and blood.”
