He Clings to Me Every Night

Even if Simon Howard was aggrieved he didn’t dare to retort. He just called Colin Davis, asking him to hurry over and pick them up.

In the night’s cold, the wind and rain was strong. Daniel Marshall’s handsome face turned icy, seemingly coated with a layer of frost. He stood with an umbrella waiting, all the while without complaining.

He was only concerned about Olivia Jenkins’ safety, impatiently hoping for a response from her car’s safety system.

Half an hour later, after checking his phone multiple times, Daniel Marshall finally received a notification that the car had stopped safely. Immediately, he called Olivia.

The phone rang, but Olivia didn’t answer.

However, thinking of how she heartlessly left Daniel and Simon in the rain, she couldn’t bear it and answered Daniel’s call.

“Honey, have you arrived home safely?”

Entering the elevator and pressing the floor button, Olivia replied lightly, “Yes.”

A faint smile spread across Daniel’s handsome face, his voice was gently asking, “Honey, are you hungry? I’ll have supper delivered to you.”

Olivia frowned and gave a dismissive comment, “I’m not hungry! I’m going to have a bath, no more talking.”

Immediately ending the call, Olivia got out of the elevator.

Olivia was about to unlock her door when she saw a man standing in front of her house.

Unsure of what was happening, Olivia immediately went on alert, warily observing the stranger.

The stranger bent slightly towards Olivia, “Good evening, Miss. This is the supper Chief Daniel Marshall has prepared for you.”

“Place the box on the ground and leave first.”

Listening obediently, the stranger put down the box, walked to the elevator entrance, and just in time, took the elevator down.

Certain that the stranger had gone downstairs, Olivia looked around again to make sure no one followed her before she unlocked and entered her home.

The name on the box was Daniel Marshall’s. Olivia also took the box inside.

After washing her hands, Olivia opened the box.

It was a delivery box for takeaway, indeed supper was inside. A certain emotion flitted across Olivia’s face, her brows furrowed even more.

Gently biting her lower lip, Olivia took out everything from the box.

The aroma was really appetizing, she could almost drool.

There were baked sweet potatoes, candied roasted chestnuts, barbecue, and pear juice, even her favorite milk tea!

Olivia opened the box, the variety of barbecued items was abundant, including grilled oysters, king prawns, saury, chicken wings… and several kinds of vegetarian dishes, all of which she liked.

After a moment of hesitation, Olivia started by eating the barbecued dishes.

In fact, she was famished. Because it was raining and parking was inconvenient, she hadn’t eaten late-night food which she had intended to and was planning to make a cup of oats when she got home to fill her stomach.

She had no idea that Daniel would actually send her supper, and it was so abundant, he had even thoughtfully prepared hot drinks.

She wondered if they had gone home yet?

Did they stand in the rain and wind for a long time?

She wondered if Daniel got drenched, would he catch a cold?

He just left the hospital recently, she wasn’t sure if he could cope with the cold wind and rain.

Olivia’s thoughts were in a mess, but she insisted on not calling Daniel or sending him a message, she just ate the supper by herself.

With a touch of nameless melancholy in her heart, Olivia couldn’t get rid of it no matter how she tried.

…

The next morning, Olivia heated up the baked sweet potato and pear juice as her breakfast.

After thinking for a bit, she decided to call Daniel.

The call connected, but for some reason, he did not answer and let the phone ring until it stopped. Daniel seemed unmoved on the other end.
