He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 476: Chapter 476: That is the Desire to Conquer

Upon hearing Daniel Marshall’s roar, Olivia Jenkins’s heart shattered.

Daniel’s frenzied reaction, his anger, indicated just how much he cared about Charmy Bennett’s things, which he wouldn’t let anyone touch, not even Olivia.

Therefore, not only did Daniel not watch her rehearse, he also didn’t watch her perform. It was clear he wasn’t wholeheartedly fond of her.

Perhaps, their partnership was merely utilitarian. She should not take it seriously, nor should she fall deeply into it or give her heart away, otherwise, she’d be the only one hurt.

Had she not rebelled, challenging Daniel’s (competitive) spirit, he probably wouldn’t have taken an interest in her.

Such transient affection could mean that Mrs. Olivia Marshall is merely a laughingstock once the novelty wears off.

To avoid pain and suffering, Olivia preferred to live carelessly, believing that hard work and building her career should be her focus.

Upon arriving home, Olivia had made up her mind, no longer torn.

She seemed to revert to her previous cold and aloof demeanor, like a hedgehog.

After taking a bath back in her room, Olivia didn’t proactively reach out to Daniel.

Starting today, she began to ignore Daniel.

Benjamin Johnson suffered from insomnia.

Even before daybreak, he went out running.

At seven o’clock, he sought out Jay Bennett.

After a day’s separation, Jay had composed his emotions, nonchalantly going to have breakfast with Benjamin as if nothing had happened.

In reality, Jay was also unable to resist the longing for more time alone with Benjamin.

The entire dining experience was quite pleasant, with Jay noticeably smiling more. Benjamin, meanwhile, was observing Jay’s mood meaningfully.

It wasn’t until Benjamin safely dropped Jay off at home, that he earnestly discussed a matter with him.

“There are things I’m not sure if I should mention, but I honestly have your best interests at heart. Jay, when you targeted Olivia Jenkins last time, was it because of me?”

Suddenly, Jay’s expression changed, his eyes welling up with sorrow.

Lowering his head, not looking at Benjamin, he bit down on his lower lip while his hands nervously clenched together.

From Jay’s reaction, Benjamin knew Olivia had guessed correctly. Even though it was somewhat cruel, Benjamin still chose honesty.

“Jay, I’m really sorry, but I’m not worth your liking. A girl as good as you deserves a better man. I will still take care of you, love you as one would a little sister.”

With the eyes that misted up, a tear slipped, sliding down Jay’s cheek.

“Benjamin Johnson, I am no longer a child. Please stop treating me like one. Why can’t I like you? In my heart, you are the best man, and I don’t want to be your sister.

Yes, I’m jealous of Olivia. I hate her, and I don’t like her being by your side. She already has Daniel. She shouldn’t be flirting with you. She is a calamity you should stay away from.”

Visibly irked, Benjamin furrowed his brow, “Jay, the more you say, the more unreasonable you become. You’ve become irrational.”

With an indescribable heartache and a surge of resentment in his heart, Jay glared at Benjamin, hugely disappointed, “You shouldn’t have liked her in the first place. It’s not possible between you two. Benjamin, wake up, she’s another man’s wife.”

“Jay, love cannot be forced. Now, I understand, and I hope you can understand too. I’m very grateful for your affections, but I’m sorry, I can’t reciprocate.

In my mind, you’ve always been Charmy’s younger sister. I hope you can be rational and stop causing trouble for Olivia. Due to your machinations, a rift has formed between her and Daniel.”
