Daniel Marshall’s deep eyes darkened slightly; his handsome face, which seemed as if it had been chiselled by the gods, remained expressionless, keeping his thoughts a mystery to everyone.
“Jay Bet, don’t overthink this, go home and rest well.”<div>
Jay Bet looked at Daniel Marshall, wanting to say something, but hesitated.
Shortly after, Jay nodded his head obediently and didn’t utter a word.
If it wasn’t merely her overthinking, given that Benjamin Johnson wouldn’t usually respond to rumors, and yet, he stepped up to rify the situation for Olivia Jenkins, it was hard for her not to associate that Benjamin had fallen for Olivia.
Moreover, Olivia Jenkins seemed to bloom with an attractive aura all over. Who wouldn’t be entranced by her charm?
Olivia’s confidence had effortlessly defeated many people. She waspetent too. What man could resist her?
Benjamin Johnson was back, but he didn’t contact her, nor look for her. Did he hold a grudge against her for the harsh words she saidst time?
Did he forget about his sister too?
Did she not exist in his heart?
Jay Bet found herself lost in a sea of questions and couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease.
She had heard Valerie mention that Olivia didn’t like spicy food. Tonight, she didn’t want to see Olivia or dine with her, so she suggested having spicy hot pot instead.
Even if Olivia was exceptional, she didn’t like this woman at all.<div>
After dinner, Olivia and the others went to the night market.
There, one could buy freshly squeezed sugarcane juice, roasted sweet potatoes, and candied chestnuts.
Olivia had also tried stinky tofu.
Valerie was walking around clutching her stomach, “I knew I shouldnad’t have eaten so much grilled fish. Now I’m so full.”
As she finished speaking, Valerie let out a burp.
Olivia Jenkins smiled, “I warned you not to eat so much. Regretting it now, huh?”
This was Benjamin Johnson’s first time eating a roasted sweet potato on the go and also his first time at such a night market. He found it quite fresh and exciting, “The roasted sweet potato is really delicious, so sweet that the sugar inside is flowing out.”
Olivia Jenkins agreed: “Having a roasted sweet potato in this kind of weather is really delightful, particrly the smell! I’ve bought a few to give to Abigail Andersonter on, along with some candied chestnuts and sugarcane juice for ate-night snack. I’m not taking any stinky tofu home though, I don’t want to offend anyone’s nose.”
Benjamin Johnson spoke enviously, “To be your subordinate would be really nice.”
“You think I’m good, I think you’re good. It’s everyone for themselves. Life may be over in the blink of an eye. Cherish the present!”
From his heart, Benjamin Johnsonmented, “It would have been great if I’d met you sooner.”<div>
A wry smile crossed Olivia’s face, “It’s better to meet at the right time than earlier. Fate is something we encounter, not something we seek. When I have time one day, I’ll take you to a fun ce.”
Looking at Olivia, Benjamin Johnson couldn’t conceal his anticipation, “Deal! Let me know anytime. Right now, I’m on an unlimited vacation and don’t have a thing to do every day.”
“Come, cheers! This sweet sugarcane juice, to wish that every day of ours is just as sweet!”
Both Benjamin Johnson and Valerie joined in on Olivia’s toast, drinking a mouthful of the sweet sugarcane juice.
Suddenly, Valerie’s phone in her pocket began to vibrate.
Walking alongside Olivia, Valerie sneakily retrieved her phone to take a nce.
A short whileter, Valerie made an excuse to go to the restroom, then made a phone call to her brother.
Simon Howard was filled with pent up rage, his voice sternly asking, “Why are you all not back yet?”
Did she do something wrong? Her brother sounded like he was scolding someone, leaving Valerie baffled, “Big bro, we’re at the night market. We’re nning to go to COOKIEter.”
“Are you still with that Benjamin Johnson?”
“Yes!”<div>
“You better bring yourdy home soon, Daniel is upset.”
