He Clings to Me Every Night - Chapter 524

Chapter 524: Chapter 524: Accompanying You To Do What You Like

Benjamin Johnson replied without hesitation, “Tomorrow, you accompany me to the children’s welfare institute.”

Surprised, Jay Bennett’s eyes widened, “Why would you want to go there?”

A serious emotion was portrayed on Benjamin Johnson’s face, “I want to do something meaningful, enrich my life, and also help others. I plan to sponsor an orphan. Would you like to do these things with me?”

Jay Bennett fell silent, her thoughts aimlessly drifting away.

Could it be that Benjamin Johnson was influenced by Olivia Jenkins?

Is it because of Olivia that he wants to do these things?

Does Benjamin Johnson want her to go with him?

Would he give her a chance?

Seeing Jay Bennett hesitate, Benjamin Johnson casually said, “If you don’t have time, it’s okay, I can do those things by myself.”

Jay Bennett shook her head, “No, I want to accompany you.”

The corner of Benjamin Johnson’s mouth lifted slightly, outlining a pleasing curve, “See the world from different perspectives, experience different lifestyles, go out more often, you may have different insights. With a broader perspective, your mindset might change.”

Jay Bennett pursed her lips, nodding slightly.

Benjamin Johnson shelled a peanut and gave it to Jay Bennett, “Have a try. This is a boiled peanut with a salty flavor. Despite being dried, it won’t be too hard. The chewiness is just right.”

Jay Bennett takes the peanut from Benjamin Johnson, eats it, and finds it quite delicious.

As long as she can be with Benjamin Johnson and see him often, Jay Bennet is willing to accompany him in whatever he wants to do.

Benjamin Johnson’s gaze remained steadily on Jay Bennett.

He had thought it over. He was unwilling to see Jay return to her previous state. Therefore, he brought her to experience the world, to understand it better, hoping she would realize that there’s more to cherish in this world beyond love.

He also hoped that Jay Bennett could let go of her resentment and live each day happily.

Even though he had never considered being with Jay Bennett, he would take care of her like a younger sister.

He couldn’t bear to see Jay Bennett stray off the path, and decided to pull her back from the brink.

With one hand carrying a basket of vegetables and the other supporting Olivia Jenkins, Daniel Marshall’s day unfolded.

Spotting a large cucumber, Olivia patted Daniel. Daniel then paused, giving Olivia the chance to pick it.

Old Man Wang had told them they could pick any vegetable they wanted from his garden.

They helped Old Man Wang take care of the pigsty and did a lot of farm work. In appreciation of their efforts, Old Man Wang also gave them a lot of food.

Olivia enjoyed the garden stroll and vegetable picking. Her face beamed with a sweet, unstoppable smile.

Suddenly, Daniel proposed, “Wifey, we could section off a portion of our home garden for vegetables. We could even plant some on the lawn.”

“Hubby, the feeling wouldn’t be the same. It’s not as relaxing as here in the village.”

“Once we are retired, we can live in the countryside. I can accompany you to plant vegetables and flowers. How does that sound?”

Olivia hadn’t considered that far ahead, but such a thought was nice. Suddenly, her sweet smile broadened, and her bright almond eyes squinted in joy, “That sounds great. We can eat our home-grown vegetables. Tonight, we can make a cucumber salad, braised eggplants, and stir-fried long beans with meat.”

“I like that too. And also scrambled eggs with tomatoes.”

“Old Man Wang lent us a big pot. We can try making rice using firewood. I heard it’s very fragrant. Our basket is full now, let’s go back. Oh, right! Old Man Wang gave us a few strings of cured meat. We can steam it with rice or stir-fried.”

Daniel carried Olivia on his back and headed towards the direction of their residence, “Listening to you talk about it makes me drool, Wifey.”

“Hubby, I will cook for you.”
