He Clings to Me Every Night

Valerie Howard smiled and nodded, “I understand.”

Indifferent to everything else, Olivia was already immersed in her work, preparing the content summary for the next meeting.

Valerie thought that Olivia, focused on her work, looked very admirable. She was so efficient and commanding during meetings, impressively cool, worthy indeed of being her role model!

Daniel Marshall had already been waiting at the hotel entrance for a long time. It was already dark out, he couldn’t enter, nor could he see his sister-in-law. Simon Howard watched, frowning unconsciously.

When a woman hardened her heart, she could become utterly ruthless. Judging from his sister-in-law’s reaction, she was certainly serious, it certainly wasn’t something that could be brushed over easily. Daniel was in for some tough times.

After some hesitation, Simon sent a discreet message to Valerie through WeChat.

Almost instantly, Valerie replied.

[He deserves no pity, he brought it upon himself! Brother, don’t help him. Just thinking about his disgusting secretary irritates me. Since he likes cheap women so much, let him go after them. Don’t let him bother Olivia, she’s working hard on her career!]

Simon sent a pitiful emoji and replied.

[Valerie, it’s not your place to interfere in a couple’s affairs. I’ve been with Daniel all the time – the situation is really not as you think, I absolutely guarantee that there’s nothing between Daniel and that annoying secretary. Daniel wouldn’t do anything inappropriate, let alone be ambiguous. He only pitied her and took care of her for some reason.]

[You are influenced by those closest to you! Brother, you should also stay out of this. Olivia’s attitude is very firm, she just does not want to deal with him, just ignoring him straight away. You should take care of yourself.]

[It’s cold at night, and the wind’s strong, Daniel has been standing at the entrance for quite a while. If this continues, he could easily catch a cold. I advise you to stop while you’re ahead, don’t cause serious harm.]

[He’s an adult. Moreover, it’s not Olivia who asked him to stand there. If he wants to stand, then let him stand. If something happens, don’t blame others!]

[Valerie, I’ve noticed a change in you. You’re becoming more and more unreasonable. Also, Daniel is your boss.]

[If he has any major problems with me, I can fire him.]

Instead of refuting, Simon only sent an emoji of a hand covering a face.

Valerie quit WeChat, refusing to look at it any longer, not wanting to get upset over it.

…

The meeting was over, it was already ten in the evening when Olivia left the N&N hotel.

At the entrance, Olivia could already see Daniel, but still chose to act as if he was invisible.

Daniel stood before Olivia, holding a bouquet of red roses. His gaze on her was long and affectionate, “Wife, these red roses are for you, let’s go home,” he proposed.

Olivia stared coldly at Daniel, her stunning face still devoid of any emotion.

Simon wisely pulled Valerie away, prohibiting her from interfering.

Daniel tried to reach for Olivia’s hand, but she evaded it. Her entire being emitted an aura of cold arrogance. “Daniel Marshall, I ask that you sign a separation agreement,” she said, “That is my only request of you.”

Olivia’s voice was faint, her tone calm, yet her words were brutal and impactful.

He felt irritated, anger welled up inside him, but Daniel managed to suppress the rising anger, speaking in a gentle voice, his eyes carrying a glimmer of softness.

“Wife, I can agree to any conditions except for separation. We should sit down and talk properly. Marriage is not a game, I have always treated it seriously from the beginning.”

Full of scorn and derision, Olivia retorted, “Daniel Marshall, I can’t see your…”
