He Clings to Me Every Night-Chapter 647 - : Gentleman’s Demeanor

Chapter 647: Chapter 647: Gentleman’s Demeanor

Benjamin Johnson’s handsome face lifted into a soft, warm smile, his deep eyes staring at Olivia Jenkins with interest, “Haven’t you had dinner?”

After finishing her soup, Olivia Jenkins laughed and said, “We had boxed meals at five o’clock, and we’ve been busy ever since. It’s almost midnight now, and we’re pretty worn out.”

Looking at Olivia with concern, Benjamin Johnson then glanced at Valerie Howard and Miss Winter, “You all look quite exhausted indeed. Amidst all the busyness, make sure to rest. Drink more of this lamb soup, it’s nourishing.”

While munching on grilled lamb chops, Olivia said, “Benjamin, there’s no need to be so polite, just eat. It seems like it’s been quite a while since we last saw each other, how have you been? I thought you went back to M-country for the holiday, spending time with family is important after all.”

Benjamin raised an eyebrow slightly, his handsome face still adorned with a light smile. He stared at Olivia with a gaze full of warmth and consideration. “I don’t need to accompany my family. My parents travel often ever since they retired. They’re just like a love-struck couple. My presence would be a third wheel, they can’t take the lovey-dovey stuff, and they wouldn’t bother about me either.”

Just then, Olivia and the others all laughed, envy for the passion and freedom Benjamin’s parents had for life evident in their laughter.

Benjamin continued, “I’ve been good, busy with charity work, and life has been fulfilling. We indeed haven’t caught up since our time in Harmony Village.

Originally, I wanted to come to congratulate you on the kickoff ceremony. But one of the kids I’m sponsoring fell sick, so I accompanied her to the doctor and forgot to come by. Now, I hope ‘My Tsundere Husband’ has a smooth filming and becomes a major hit!”

Olivia picked up a drink and confidently declared, “Although this isn’t alcohol, let’s have a toast anyway. Here’s to everyone’s happiness and good fortune! And to ‘My Tsundere Husband’ becoming a breakout hit, and making it into the top three of this year’s viewership figures.”

Miss Winter chimed in, “We’ll definitely succeed!”

Valerie added, “I may be a rookie, but I’m giving it my all and I believe we’ll make it!”

Looking around at her friends, Olivia gave a knowing smile.

Even though her married life was in shambles, her passion for her career was as full as ever, showing no signs of ebbing.

Although the busyness of work was tiring, Olivia was still happy, treating her first production as a producer as seriously as if she were raising a child.

Deep down, Olivia held a firm belief that she would succeed, and so would Quiet Video.

…

Valerie drove Miss Winter home first.

Olivia tried to pay, but the proprietress only accepted Benjamin’s money. “Even among friends, it’s the gentleman who pays. It’s a matter of manners,” she said.

Benjamin replied solemnly, “Madam, you’re absolutely right. I will be coming here frequently from now on.”

The lady boss laughed cheerfully, “I’ll be looking forward to that. I guarantee you, our lamb soup is delicious.”

Benjamin nodded, a hint of laughter in his eyes, as he and Olivia exited the restaurant together.

Before getting in the car, Benjamin had another little chat with Olivia, “Even though you’re smiling, I can’t shake the feeling that something’s bothering you. Has something bad happened lately?”

Olivia’s eyes sparkled as she titled her head slightly, pretending nothing was wrong. She smiled at Benjamin, “I’m doing good, just a little tired. Making TV shows isn’t easy, there’s a lot to think about.” freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Benjamin sighed softly, “You seem different from when I saw you in Harmony Village. Whatever it is, don’t keep it all to yourself. You need to let it out, or keeping it inside will make you feel worse in the long run.”
