He Clings to Me Every Night-Chapter 648 - Irreplaceable
Chapter 648: Chapter 648 Irreplaceable
Was her smile really that fake?
Were the chaotic thoughts in her heart that apparent?
Olivia Jenkins slightly lowered her eyes; her face still held a slight smile. “I’m really fine; maybe I’m just a bit tired. After a good sleep, I’ll wake up refreshed. Benjamin Johnson, I’m going to leave first. Be careful while driving!”
With a confident and proud expression adorning her beautiful face, Olivia waved at Benjamin before getting into the car.
Benjamin Johnson stood in place, watching as Olivia drove away.
In truth, he noticed from the very beginning that Olivia was troubled. Otherwise, why wouldn’t she be driving Daniel Marshall’s luxury car?
However, Benjamin chose not to expose Olivia’s state of mind. He knew she had no desire to discuss her troubles. Preferring to nurse her wounds or wallow in sadness, Olivia always brought warmth to others, never leaving any trace of negativity.
Such an Olivia was truly heart-wrenching!
Benjamin understood well, too, that he wasn’t the person Olivia needed. So, regardless of his comforting words, they still wouldn’t ease her worries.
So, he didn’t touch her wounds.
On the day of the inauguration ceremony, he did go. He parked his car nearby and watched from a distance.
Not wanting to bother Olivia, he kept himself hidden.
Later, he saw Daniel and also watched the news. Undeniably, Daniel’s publicity was a huge success and could potentially be of help to Olivia’s career.
Silently, he departed, not disturbing Olivia; that was his tenderness.
During this time, Olivia didn’t call him. Evidently, she only considered him a friend and didn’t need him.
So, he wouldn’t insist and opted to go with the flow.
…
Before leaving the house, Mrs. Jenkins asked Leaf Fiona to call Olivia.
Upon learning that her grandmother had again brought breakfast for Daniel, and that her words were sincere, Olivia had no choice but to rush to the hospital.
Seeing Daniel again, she noticed he looked much better, not as pale as before.
Daniel’s spirit had also improved significantly, already not having the semblance of a frail patient.
Under her grandmother’s watchful gaze, Olivia served Daniel a bowl of porridge and handed him a meat bun, “Can you eat? If you feel nauseated, just have the porridge.”
Daniel gazed tenderly at Olivia, “I can eat. Last night, I had noodles and dumplings; my appetite is much better.”
Olivia didn’t say anything; she merely raised her beautiful brows.
“The meat bun is delicious; it’s very fragrant!”
Daniel continued to talk, but Olivia ignored him. Sensing he was simply trying to flatter her, a hint of disdain flashed across her heart.
Mrs. Jenkins smiled warmly, her expression kind, “Just eat whatever you can. As long as you can consume food, your health will quickly improve. With proper nutrition, your immunity will also strengthen. The filling in the meat buns is made from fresh meat, mixed with green onions and black fungus. Since it is homemade, it is very tender. Daniel, whatever you want to eat, just say it, and I’ll bring it tomorrow.”
After glancing at Olivia, Daniel’s gaze shifted back to the grandmother, “I haven’t eaten dumplings for a long time; I’d like to have some dumplings.”
Mrs. Jenkins’ smile deepened, “Good, good, I’ll bring dumplings for you tomorrow morning and a bowl of stewed soup.” freewёbnoνel.com
“Thank you, grandmother! The taste of home cooking is truly irreplaceable, money can’t buy it. I often miss it.”
Listening to Daniel’s flattery, Olivia shot him a cold, fierce glance.
With an innocent expression on his face, Daniel met Olivia’s gaze.
Ever since New Year’s Eve, he genuinely hadn’t tasted the dumplings made by Olivia. He missed the taste of the dumplings and Olivia herself.
What he said was indeed the truth.
He also knew, such feelings were truly irreplaceable.
