Benjamin Johnson cautiously asked, “Daniel Marshall knows everything? Did he blame you?”
Jay Bennett stayed silent, suddenly, tears once again welled up in his eyes cascading down his cheeks.
Benjamin Johnson’s mood was a bit heavy. His expression gradually turned serious, his deep eyes were unblinkingly fixed on Jay Bennett. “Whatever you’re thinking, no matter what opinion you have of Olivia Jenkins, you shouldn’t have given her your sister’s things to use.
Hurting others inevitably leads to hurting oneself. It’s not worth it! I’m not blaming you, Jay Bennett, I hope that you can be a little more sensible, and to cherish yourself.”
While I really can’t stand Daniel Marshall and I despise him, in all fairness, his feelings for you are genuine. I feel ashamed about this too. Your actions have also hurt him.”
Tears continued to stream down Jay Bennett’s face.
He felt that Benjamin Johnson had changed.
In the past, Benjamin Johnson would have never spoken up for Daniel. He would always be confrontational.
Who could have changed Benjamin Johnson in such a short time?
Was it that bitch, Olivia Jenkins?
Did he really fall in love with Olivia Jenkins and willingly change for her?
At this thought, Jay’s heart ached more, his chest even more uncomfortable.
He had turned into someone he himself disliked, all because of Benjamin Johnson. And now, he was clearly speaking up for Olivia Jenkins, thus speaking up for Daniel as well.
Jay’s hatred for Olivia Jenkins reached the bone.
“I’m fine. You can go. There’s more food in the refrigerator. I can warm it up with the microwave. I won’t do anything foolish, so you don’t have to worry about me.”
Jay’s voice was cold and raspy and pushed people a thousand miles away. Concern etched on his face, Benjamin tried to soften his voice,”Jay, we all care about you, you…”
“I know you all treat me too well. I have fabricated too much, and failed you all. Don’t worry, I won’t be like this in the future. It’s late, you should go back, I’m really fine. ”
“Jay…”
“Please leave me some dignity, I don’t want you to see me in this desperate state.”
Benjamin stepped forward, gently embracing Jay.
Suddenly, Jay pushed Benjamin away, glaring at him,”I don’t want your pity, I’ve always known clearly, it’s because of my sister’s blessing that I received your affection. All the good you did for me was for my sister’s sake. Now, I’ve grown up, I can take care of myself, I can live on my own.”
Benjamin sighed.
Under the illumination of the light, the curling smoke was clearly visible.
Benjamin’s expression also showed a hint of helplessness,”Jay, you must calm down, please, don’t have wild thoughts. We’re not blind fools, and I believe that your true nature is not like this. I can leave, but you take care of yourself. If there’s anything, you can call me anytime.”
Jay trembled while nodding his head.
Already made a mistake, how can he back down now?
His hatred in his heart also did not have any way to subside.
Actually, his wish wasn’t a lot, it was just hoping for Benjamin Johnson to love him and only him wholeheartedly. But for him, this was a luxury, all of which was snatched away by that bitch, Olivia Jenkins.
Benjamin Johnson glanced meaningfully at Jay, didn’t say another word and left.
The city of Binhzhou started to sprinkle with snow.
Daniel, wearing a face mask and a plain long down jacket, covered his head with a hat and wrapped his face tightlu.
And so, he went to buy leek dumplings from his mother’s shop.
The man in front of her wanted to buy 50 leek dumplings, and Ella Charles, who was now using the alias Ella Lee, looked surprised. She couldn’t help but look a few more times at the man and observe him more closely.
