Chapter 378: Chapter 378: Deciding to Spend a Lifetime Together
Translator: 549690339
Olivia Jenkins smiled lightly, not taking Adam Howard’s words to heart. Besides, she honestly didn’t know how far she and Daniel Marshall could go, nor if love could last forever. “I’m just an ordinary person. I just want to live an ordinary life.”
“Your status is extraordinary, so your wish will be hard to fulfill.”
Olivia Jenkins echoed, “You’re right.”
“Keep looking forward, there must be a path that suits you. Sister-in-law, you’ve already done your best; there’s no need to care about what others think. The world in one’s heart and one’s eyes are different, as are people’s desires, so of course, everyone has their own thoughts.”
“Drive on. Take me back to Pearl Lake. Adam Howard, thank you. I’m sorry for imposing on you all day.”
“Sister-in-law, there’s no need for formalities with me. This is my duty, something I should do. I genuinely hope that you and Daniel Marshall can be happy.”
A slight smile still lingered on Olivia’s beautiful face, but she fell silent.
She gazed out the car window at the night sky, her thoughts drifting away.
After a bit of rest, Daniel Marshall bought a bouquet of flowers and visited Charmy Bennett’s grave.
After staying a while, he left and went to the Bennett family’s home.
Daniel Marshall handed over Charmy’s valuable belongings to her parents.
With solemn sincerity, Daniel declared, “Uncle and Auntie, I’m sorry. I’ve found the woman I love, and I’ve decided to spend my life with her. I hope you can understand.”
It had been five years since their daughter’s death. During the five years, Daniel had taken good care of them. They were worry-free in life, and they saw that Daniel had a hard time too. He blamed himself for not being able to protect Charmy. The old couple had a soft spot for Daniel.
Hearing that Daniel had a new life, and had met the woman he loved, they genuinely understood.
Mr. Bennett said, “Daniel, we sincerely wish you the best. You don’t need to apologize, nor should you feel guilty. You have the right to pursue happiness.”
Mrs. Bennett said, “We’re happy for you too. Knowing that someone will accompany and take care of you, we can rest easy. However, when it comes to Jay Bennett, we’re worried about her. We hope you can look out for her on our behalf. She’s quite sensitive and doesn’t like to talk to us much, so we don’t know much about what’s going on with her. Perhaps, she might listen to you.”
Daniel Marshall emitted an aura of mature steadiness. His inky eyes flashed a momentary, almost imperceptible fluctuation. “Uncle and Auntie, I’ll certainly take good care of Jay Bennett. Jay is still in Serene City, training hard, and preparing for her performance.”
Mrs. Bennett looked at Daniel Marshall with reassurance. “We’re really grateful for all you’ve done over the years.”
Movingly, Daniel replied, “I will continue to care for you guys, just like my own family.”
Tears reflexively welled up in the eyes of Charmy’s parents.
It was a shame that Charmy didn’t have the fortune to enjoy the love of a good man like Daniel.
Not wanting everyone to remember the painful past, they tacitly avoided mentioning Charmy.
After having a meal with Charmy’s parents, Daniel left to stay at a hotel.
Daniel has already contacted an agent and discussed matters regarding selling the villa.
Olivia Jenkins was in Serene City, and from then on, his life would be centered there.
Early the next morning, Valerie Howard came to the villa by Pearl Lake.
Upon seeing her lady, Valerie immediately apologized.
Olivia looked at Valerie nonchalantly and gently comforted her. “It’s not your fault. Don’t worry about it. Let’s go for dim sum today. I’ve already invited Abigail Anderson.”
A grateful expression appeared on Valerie’s face, and she said, like a fangirl, “Thank you ma’am!”
“I’m a bit older than you. Call me Olivia.”
“Okay, Olivia!”
Olivia took Valerie to the underground garage. As they saw Daniel’s luxury car, Olivia couldn’t help but stop in her tracks.
