He Clings to Me Every Night Chapter 406: 406: Honesty Between Husband and Wife

Olivia hadn’t said a word since she got in the car, which Valerie Howard found unusual.

After a slight hesitation, Valerie broke the silence.

“The man who led the live broadcast slandering you the other day has left Serene City. He was badly beaten and received death threats. I doubt he’ll bother you again.”

Olivia didn’t give a hoot about what happened to Geoffrey Gullington. Their relationship was long over. She blinked indifferently, but remained silent.

Valerie paused for a mont before asking cautiously, “Olivia, are we going back to the office or to the villa by Pearl Lake?”

Her expression unchanged, Olivia’s voice was equally indifferent, “Valerie, let’s go for grilled fish.”

Valerie smiled and replied, “Sounds good!”

“Let’s drive towards Serene City Square. There’s a place with really good grilled fish there.”

“Okay!”

The car joined the queue to enter the parking lot at Serene City Square.

Looking out, Olivia saw an advertisent playing on the giant screen at Serene City Square. It was promoting Jay Bennett’s concert tour.

The tour had begun last night in Kyoto.

Olivia had seen Daniel Marshall and Jay Bennett leaving the airport together earlier. Had Daniel not told her because he was going to Kyoto to watch Jay’s concert?

Was there any need to hide this from her?

If he’d told her in person, would she have stopped him? Why was he defending himself this way? It only made him seem suspicious.

Daniel was incapable of honesty in their relationship.

Daniel was so relaxed when he was with Jay Bennett. Had he not noticed that?

Brushing aside the scene she’d accidentally witnessed at the airport, Olivia let out a self-mocking laugh, feeling a twinge of discomfort.

After parking, Olivia and Valerie headed towards the elevator.

Suddenly, Olivia spotted Benjamin Johnson from behind.

After hesitating for three seconds, Olivia called out to him, “Are you eating alone?”

Benjamin turned to look at Olivia and, waiting until she ca over, he said, “Yes! Are you guys here to eat too?”

A subtle smile played on the corners of Olivia’s lips as she replied, “I’m here to have grilled fish with Valerie. Would you like to join us? Also, I want to thank you for providing crucial information.”

A rare softness shone in Benjamin’s eyes. He grinned lightly; his gentle laughter was as delicate as a feather’s touch. “Sure, I can join you for grilled fish, but seriously, there’s no need for formalities.”

“By the way, I’ve contacted Professor Winnie just as you’d advised. I t him this morning and started treatnt. You were spot on. I have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.”

“There are several forms of PTSD. Your case should be relatively mild. Tily treatnt and early intervention can help you quickly overco your past.”

Benjamin, with his gentle eyes on Olivia, said sincerely, “Thank you. I feel so much lighter now and not as oppressed as before.”

“You seem to be enjoying life now, sothing you probably haven’t experienced before. Am I right?”

His eyes brightened as he responded to Olivia, “You’re so right. It’s only now that I realise I’ve been stuck in a rut and missed out on a lot of beautiful things.”

“Your ntal state seems good now. This realisation tells that you’re starting to let go. Keep it up!”

Even with her simple gestures – a smile, a nod, a blink – Olivia exuded irresistible charisma that left Benjamin in awe.

Suddenly, Olivia’s phone rang. It was a call from Daniel Marshall.
