He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 344: 344: Growing more and more fond of Daniel Marshall

Grandfather was pressuring her, funneling all the stress onto her. Olivia Jenkins felt uneasy, addressing him coldly, “I’m sorry, but I won’t sign the agreement.”

The old man’s facial muscles near his eyes twitched violently, “Girl, you’re still not smart enough, you have never given a thought to Daniel Marshall.

Ultimately, you’re selfish too.”

Olivia Jenkins was displeased, her voice sharp, “You’re the one who’s going back on your word!”

“Even if I gave you two years, would you definitely conceive Daniel’s child? You think your petty schemes can fool me? Don’t think I’m unaware that this is just your stopgap measure! Since you’ve chosen to marry into the Marshall family, you shouldn’t delude yourself with the idea of being aloof.”

As she drank her tea, Olivia Jenkins suppressed the rage she wanted to unleash.

Daniel didn’t want a child, but grandfather insisted she have one. Grandfather was pressuring her to secretly conceive Daniel’s child.

What if Daniel refused to compromise, and despised the child she bore? What would happen to that child?

If a child isn’t welcomed or loved, how would that affect his or her growth?

Isn’t grandfather behaving selfishly, isn’t this also cruel?

“Grandfather, you overestimate me, and overrate me. Once the novelty of me wears off for Daniel, I’ll become dispensable, and I won’t pose any threat to the Marshall family. I believe it won’t be long before you see this.”

The old man furrowed his eyebrows, his eyes flickering with a warm, infuriated flame, “You’re stubborn and sharp-tongued, child.”

Olivia Jenkins’s voice was somewhat stiff, “I don’t think you truly understand your grandson. If Daniel is willing for me to bear a child, I can do so. If he disagrees, I will not consider it.”

“If you don’t want to repeat a tragedy, you must carefully consider this. A child isn’t brought to life by force, nor does its birth ensure everything will go smoothly. This is a life we’re talking about. A child’s birth should not be based on calculations.”

The old man slowly looked up at Olivia Jenkins, “You, you’ve fallen in love with

Daniel Marshall! You know all about his affairs?”

Olivia Jenkins’s expression turned serious, “Grandfather, marriage can be bartered with, but not emotions. So, I hope you understand me. I should know his past with Charmy Bennett quite well by now. Therefore, please stop pressuring me and don’t have unrealistic expectations of me.”

“I have no control over Daniel’s heart or his thoughts. Perhaps, his heart has never belonged to me. Men are fond of their desire for conquest. Possibly, my rebellion has just provoked his desire to conquer me.”

After a moment of pondering, the old man spoke calmly, “Don’t be so pessimistic. Daniel cares deeply about you; it’s not that you’re unimportant. Think again about whether or not you want to have a child. If you do, no matter if it’s a boy or a girl, I assure you that no one would dare to target Jenkins Group. It would certainly be yours, and I would provide additional resources for its development. ”

“Apart from the Marshall family, you have no other hopes. Bennett Group will never intervene and Jordan Bennett possesses no authorities. Benjamin Johnson has already left Zenith Capital, he won’t be able to support you. Previously, it was Matthew Marshall’s lack of competence. If I had needed to step in, your Jenkins Group would have been lost long ago.”

Olivia Jenkins didn’t want to talk; she drank her tea instead.

The old man continued, “One year’s time, aren’t you daring enough to gamble? Olivia Jenkins, you are not as relentless as Bella Thompson. You appear heartless, yet you are sentimental. Bella Thompson is exactly your opposite.”

“Olivia Jenkins, precisely because you’re caring more and more for Daniel Marshall, and have fallen in love with him, you fear even more to lose him, to lose, and you also have no confidence.. Escaping is useless, how would you know it won’t end up in a blissful union unless you try?”
