He Clings to Me Every Night

With her delicate eyelashes trembling slightly, Olivia slowly said, “I’ve thought it through, it seems she’s targeting me, but it’s not entirely because of Daniel Marshall and her sister.

If it was for Daniel, from the beginning, if she knew I existed, she could have dealt with me already, no need to wait until now. It’s likely that in the past, Fu has tried to win her over too, but she never colluded with Fu.

Maybe at that time, I was not considered a threat to her. Now, she feels differently and undoubtedly her feelings have grown complicated. She’s taking the risk to plot against me.

Benjamin Johnson, our encounters lately are clearly more harmonious and joyful than before. Perhaps in the eyes of others, our ambiguous relationship could easily lead to misunderstanding.

Have you ever felt that Jay Bennett must like you? This time, her manipulation is probably because we’ve been getting especially close, which crossed her boundaries.”

Surprise washed over Benjamin’s face.

It took him a moment to recover from the shock.

After some thought, Benjamin shook his head, “It shouldn’t be possible. She’s spent more time with Daniel than with me. Logically, if she were to like anyone, it would be Daniel, who takes meticulous care of her.”

“Haven’t you ever heard of love at first sight? No constant companio, or time would convince matters. It can all be certain within a glance.”

He moistened his lips, and refuted her, “Don’t be fanciful.”

“You are utterly ignorant about women, but women understand women.”

“Then what about you and Daniel…

“Don’t drag me into this, we’re talking about your situation here. As someone seemingly immune to hardships, I can cope with anything, be it a low point or hardship. Unlike her, she so used to being pampered and has never faced adversity, she’s quite fragile. You should be more considerate of her, try to comfort her more.

Don’t try to get me to comfort her, or ask me to become friends with her. It’s impossible. She downright hates me, she’s overly sensitive to my presence. It’s impossible for us to have a calm conversation.”

Benjamin was silent and took a few sips of his soup.

Olivia continued, “I’m not familiar with your situation, so I can’t comment further. But, a woman’s intuition tells me she likes you. You, think it over, see if you can figure something out.”

Benjamin had never realized that Jay Bennett could have feelings for him. He felt that it was impossible.

His thoughts were a bit muddled.

“I’ll give this more thought. I don’t have any idea now.”

“I’ll get the check. Valerie and I should get going. Be careful on your own.”

Benjamin’s expression became serious, silent, just slightly nodding his head.

As Olivia got into the car, fastened her seatbelt, and leaned back into the seat, she closed her eyes.

Her relationship with Daniel was also rather complicated.

Even without Jay’s manipulations, maybe one day there would be a divide between her and Daniel over conflicting ideas.

People always say that the subconscious mind is astonishing, it’s the truth!

The first thing Daniel thought of when he saw Charmy’s violin was his real subconscious response. So he can treat her well, spoil her, protect her, but in his heart, his subconscious would still be Charmy.

Even if he’s with me, he has never thought of having children. Such resistance to children suggests his subconscious is still hung up on Charmy.

It’s not that I mind, or that I’m jealous of Charmy, Daniel’s thoughts might only consider me as a replacement.
