Looking at the ti, Valerie Howard gathered the courage to interrupt Benjamin Johnson’s words, “Olivia, we must leave now. Valerie will finish her broadcast soon. It’s cold, and the roasted sweet potatoes will soon get cold.”
Olivia Jenkins, sharpness dancing in her almond-shaped eyes, glanced at Valerie and quickly caught on, and agreed, “Yes, we should be going. Benjamin Johnson, let’s catch up so other ti.”
At her words, the sparkle in Benjamin Johnson’s eyes dimd like a fading firework, “Okay, be careful on your way.”
As Olivia walked away, Benjamin stood there in a daze, his deep-set eyes gazing at Olivia’s fading figure in the distance.
Such a sha, she is Daniel Marshall’s woman!
Why won’t happiness ever choose him?
Why is it always Daniel Marshall who becos the lucky one?
There was an aching, sour twist in Benjamin Johnson’s heart. He made a mocking chuckle at his predicant.
Undeniably, he envied Daniel’s luck.
When would he have such luck?
After getting in the car, Olivia imdiately asked, “Who were you calling earlier?”
Blinking innocently, Valerie said with sincere clarity to Olivia’s focused gaze. “My brother called . He said Daniel is angry and asked us to co back as soon as possible.”
Olivia turned her head, looking out at the night. “Let’s go to COOKIE.”
“Olivia, should we call Daniel?”
“No need.”
“What… what’s going on between you two?”
“Valerie, you’re so nosy! Do you want to crawl into my stomach to know everything?”
Valerie shook her head, then, started the engine and drove away.
After a few monts of silence, Olivia said aningfully, a hint of nonchalance in her tone. “Won should not depend on n. Won have to be independent and never lose themselves. Otherwise, they’ll be left helpless. It is better to make n wait than to wait yourself. Otherwise, it’s you who gets hurt, who becos pitiful and servile.”
Valerie responded seriously, “Although I don’t know what you’re thinking or what you’ve been through, I do think what you said made sense.”
“Many people envy . Do you envy ? Do you think I’m happy?”
“I don’t know, but I feel like you have sothing on your mind.”
“I really am one of the lucky ones, so I shouldn’t be asking for more. I should be content, cherish what I have and live well in the present!”
“Olivia, you’re a good person. Fortune will always be on your side.”
Olivia’s beautiful face lit up with a sweet smile. “May your words bring fortune to my life.”
It was almost midnight, and his wife had not yet returned.
He was still sitting in the living room, silent, his face dark. The atmosphere around him was frightening.
He had smoked a lot of cigarettes and the room was filled with the scent of tobacco, a layer of smoke fogging up the place.
Auntie Jane had prepared several hot teapots, but he didn’t drink even a single sip of tea.
Having not seen him for more than a week, Auntie Jane was surprised to see him in this unhappy state upon return! Had he had a fight with his wife again?
Hesitant, Auntie Jane cautiously asked, “Sir, shall I call madam? Maybe she’s busy.”
Daniel Marshall’s gaze was icy cold. There was a glint of nace in his eyes as he stared at Auntie Jane, “Doesn’t she know to co ho?”
Suddenly, fear clung tightly to Auntie Jane. She gripped a handkerchief in her hand, breaking out in a cold sweat.
“Go away!”
The low, cold voice of Daniel sent shivers down Auntie Jane’s spine.
After a slight pause, Auntie Jane quickly retreated.
“Simon Howard, you may leave as well.”
“Yes, sir!”
Daniel Marshall picked up the cigarette box, casually picked a cigarette and lit it.
At that mont, Daniel heard the sound of a car.
