He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 292: 292: Holding Hands Tightly

Daniel’s deep eyes were unreserved in showing his admiration, as he warmly looked at Olivia.

“You didn’t cause any trouble, you were just defending yourself against those who bullied you, which is entirely justified. Don’t worry, I’ll always be by your side and won’t let them hurt you.”

“The woman who belongs to me, Daniel Marshall, should be domineering like this, and not let anyone step on her!”

Olivia and Daniel looked at each other, corners of their mouths pulling into a sweet smile.

Disregarding everything else, within the Marshall Family, Daniel did provide her the respect she deserved, and he did protect her diligently. In this regard, Daniel was indeed manly and respectable.

Having such a husband brought a bit of comfort to Olivia’s heart. At least, when she was at war with the Marshall family, she wasn’t alone and helpless; she could still feel a bit of warmth.

As long as she didn’t demand too much or hold onto grudges, life like this wasn’t unlivable. Life hadn’t closed all doors on her; at the very least, a window was left open for her.

Licking her lips, Olivia said softly, “Sorry for causing you trouble again. It’s all because of me. The Marshall Family has become fragmented, and your situation has become difficult. Maybe it will only get worse in the future, and you might be targeted.”

Daniel reassuringly said in a soft voice, “The Marshall Family was always like this, it has nothing to do with you. Even without you, my situation would still be the same. Only by crawling out from hell can one become a champion. Right now, you are merely seeing the surface of the Marshall Family. Stay a little longer, look a little more, and you’ll understand, until it becomes natural to you.”

Suddenly, images of Joyful Hall in Beverly Hills flashed through Olivia’s mind.

Indeed, the Marshall Family was just the tip of the iceberg. The whole family was tense and ready to spring into action.

If the family’s elder passes away later, it was unclear what the situation would be. Everything was uncertain, but Olivia believed that Daniel would be able to control the group of people.

This was probably the biggest reason why the family’s elder saw potential in Daniel and was willing to stand by her side.

Bella Thompson was quite cunning, but also very selfish, always acting for her own interests and disregarding the bigger picture. She clearly was unlikely to achieve great things. Perhaps, the old man decided to give up on this chess piece, and Olivia felt that she might become the new player.

Because the father-in-law was weak and indecisive, he was not a match for the schemers in the family. That’s why, even though Daniel upset the old man, the old man continued to keep Daniel under his protection.

Olivia pitied the old man.

Living to such an old age yet still having to worry so much. The Marshalls were always scheming and guarding against others, he probably couldn’t sleep soundly at night. It was quite a sad existence for the head of the family!

She didn’t envy or long for such a family. But, she was in it now, unable to leave and forced into the conflict.

Not wanting to talk about the Marshall Family issues anymore, Olivia suddenly proposed, “Honey, let’s go for some dessert.”

“Sounds good!”

“Turn right at the South Street Power Station, then turn into a small lane, and finally stop the car at the alleyway. There’s a pretty good dessert shop in the alley.”

“We’ll go to that one.”

Simon Howard got the hint and drove towards South Street Power Station, stopping the car at the alleyway entrance-

Daniel and Olivia held hands as they walked into the alley, about 50 meters later, they arrived at a dessert shop.

Clearly, Olivia was a regular customer. She didn’t even look at the menu and directly ordered, “Boss, I’ll have two servings of mango sago pudding, and one order of chicken feet with a special flavor.”

“Sure, coming right up!”

The boss’s voice was bright, showing that he was a very cheerful person. There were quite a few customers in the shop, but the premises looked cramped, with everyone seemingly squeezed together.

Olivia looked at Daniel and asked quietly, “You’ve never been to a place like this before, have you?”
