Chapter 515: Stop Flaunting Your Love
“Jay Bennett… Jay Bennett… what’s wrong?”
After Benjamin Johnson called out a few tis over the phone, Jay Bennett, who was far away in Serene City, finally responded.
“I… I’m okay, I just wanted to call and say hi.”
“I’m fine, how about you?”
Jay Bennett laughed in self-mockery. Unconsciously, his nose began to sting and his eyes welled up with tears. “I’m alright, just been feeling a bit tired lately. Do you have so free ti? I’d like to take you out for a al.”
“I’m not in Serene City, when I return, I’ll take you out for a al.”
“Alright, then I won’t bother you anymore, goodbye!”
He quickly hung up and broke down in tears.
Benjamin Johnson wasn’t in Serene City, he must be with Olivia Jenkins.
How could he be so intimate with Olivia Jenkins?
How could he be attracted to such a despicable married woman?
Benjamin Johnson is foolish, he really needs to wake up!
Tears of heartbreak rolled down Jay’s cheeks like loose pearls, dropping one by one.
Jay’s heart ached terribly, it was unbearable!
His hand clutched at his chest so tightly that his knuckles turned white, uncontrollably quivering with rage.
By six o’clock, it was already dark.
As the night grew colder, the wind picked up.
Daniel Marshall and Simon Howard hadn’t returned yet, so Olivia Jenkins ca over to check on them with the aid of her crutches.
Daniel was still busily shucking corn, seemingly oblivious to Olivia’s arrival.
Olivia noticed several blood marks on Daniel’s hands, presumably caused by shucking the corn.
Judging by the look of it, Daniel had not only beco faster at shucking corn, but also more proficient.
Seeing this stirred conflicting emotions in Olivia. “Alright, go back and have your als.”
Without lifting his head, Daniel continued shucking corn. He spoke in a deep, calm voice, “Honey, I still have a few ears of corn to shuck. I’ll go have my al afterwards. It’s cold at night, go inside and don’t catch a chill.”
After hesitating a mont, Olivia grabbed a stool and sat down, picking up an ear of corn to help Daniel shuck.
Instantly, Daniel looked up, his deep eyes tenderly eting Olivia’s, “Let do it. Don’t hurt your hands. These corns are quite hard.”
Olivia dismissed him: “It’s fine, I’m just playing around.”
Daniel pressed his slightly parted lips together, glanced at Olivia, and began shucking the corn at an even faster pace.
Simon picked up the hint and hauled the remaining pile of corn in front of himself. “You two go back first, I’ll stay and shuck the rest. I’m hardy, I don’t mind the cold.”
Daniel placed the shucked corn on the side, and then yanked the ear of corn from Olivia’s hands and handed it to Simon.
Just as Olivia was about to complain, Daniel suddenly swooped her up in his arms and started walking towards ho.
Olivia glared at Daniel, demanding crossly, “Hey, you didn’t grab my crutches.”
Daniel asserted domineeringly, “I am your crutch, and I can be your legs.”
“You’ve been shucking corn all afternoon, aren’t you tired? Doesn’t your hand hurt? Do you still have the strength left?”
Daniel’s lips curled into a small smile, his eyes flashed a soft hint of amusent, “Honey, my hands might hurt and I might be tired, but the sight of you makes happy; it makes it all worthwhile.”
Olivia rolled her eyes at him, “Sweet talker!”
Daniel acted as if he hadn’t seen, and earnestly said, “I’m telling the truth.”
“We’re at the door, put down now. I don’t want people to see us, stop flaunting your affection.”
“They’re having their hot pot. They’re too lazy to notice us!”
“It’s ti for dinner, you need to wash your hands.”
“Help wash my hands then, and also disinfect my wounds while you’re at it.”
“Drama queen!”
Daniel’s sharp eyes sparkled with mischievous light, “Honey, if you help wash, even if it stings my wounds, I won’t feel the pain.”
