Olivia Jenkins opened her eyes wide in surprise, looking at Daniel Marshall.

After giving Olivia a tiny kiss, Daniel continued to say, “After Grandma got sick, I stopped going to the night market. Grandma’s condition didn’t improve, and she became unrecognizable at her worst. Despite the Marshall Family’s wealth, we still felt helpless in front of grandma’s ailment.”

Suddenly, Olivia hugged Daniel tightly, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have said those things.”

Daniel’s lips curled slightly into a faint smile, “It’s alright; it’s all past now. If Grandma knew that I’ve settled down and established my own family, she’d be happy. If you want to go to the night market, I can accompany you.”

Olivia’s eyes fell slightly, her feelings were somewhat complex.

After a moment’s hesitation, Olivia confessed, “Benjamin Johnson is seeing a psychologist – a doctor I introduced him to. Seeing him now, I feel like he’s changed.”

Suddenly, Daniel’s eyes dulled, filled with turbulent emotions, “He’s a complicated man, sly and cunning. Be careful around him. He’s capable of anything. Last time, you nearly died because of him, I hope you’ve learned your lesson. Do you still not understand his intentions behind approaching you?”

“Daniel, are your prejudices too deep-seated? Do you really understand him?”

“So, you’re suggesting I’m in the wrong?” Daniel’s eyes cooled, a shadow of malevolence flickering in their depths as he stared at Olivia.

Suddenly, he was no longer hugging Olivia.

Frowning slightly, Olivia looked calmly at Daniel, “I didn’t say you were wrong, nor do I completely understand you. Perhaps, this is a chasm you cannot bridge.”

Deep within Daniel’s dark, fathomless eyes, two flickering flames began to dance.

His attractive lips parted slightly, his voice listless and indifferent, “Mrs. Olivia Marshall, do you enjoy being pursued by other men? Have you forgotten your place? If I don’t give you a reminder, would you feel lucky?”

Olivia wasn’t afraid of Daniel, her eyes radiated curiosity, “Are you jealous? Benjamin Jones is the hurdle you can’t overcome!”

“Do you feel accomplished?” Under the dim light, Daniel’s face grew frightfully cold.

A touch of disdain flitted across Olivia’s eyes, her voice filled with cold sarcasm, “Did you eat dynamite tonight?”

“Does provoking me amuse you? Do you want Benjamin Jones to hurt you again? Have you lost your mind?”

Provoking? Olivia laughed, tilting her head and looking at Daniel with intense interest, “Benjamin Johnson said he likes me and wants to pursue me. If ‘N’ number of guys say they like me and want to pursue me, do you want to put them to death?”

“You think I wouldn’t dare?”

“Let’s stop here, I don’t want to quarrel with you.”

Seeing Olivia’s indifference, her insouciance as she walked into the bathroom and ignored him, Daniel became even angrier, his entire presence radiating danger.

Does this woman have no feelings at all?

Can’t she see how much he cares about her?

Does she want to provoke him until he explodes? Does she have a death wish?

Now that they’ve been together for so long, does she feel nothing for him?

Daniel frowned, troubled by a headache.

Olivia got into the bathtub filled with water, dipping her head as well as her body.

She did not surface until she couldn’t hold her breath anymore.

She wiped away the droplets from her face, her head leaning against the edge of the bathtub, slowly closing her eyes.

Thinking about it, Olivia let out a bitter laugh.

Daniel looks so comfortable and at ease with Jay Bennett, enjoying their peaceful times together. Doesn’t he see something wrong in that?

He told her openly that he was going to support Jay’s tour, would she not understand? Would she not let him go?

On the contrary, it was Daniel’s sneaky behavior that truly disappointed her.
