He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 461: 461: Not Yet Satisfied

In his mind, he also envisioned Charmy Bennett’s smiles and frowns.

Even though past memories were so vivid, there was a sense of relief and relaxation in Benjamin’s heart.

Even now, as he looked at Olivia Jenkins with admiring eyes, he no longer possessed that former violent drive to possess her. Perhaps the treatment from Professor Winnie was taking effect – he was gradually learning to let go of his selfishness.

Olivia was right, no matter what kind of love, you can’t possess it selfishly.

Only by learning to love, can you better love yourself, understand how to love others, without becoming a burden on them.

Olivia’s brilliant performance ended, and Benjamin joined the crowd with enthusiastic applause.

Strangely, Benjamin longed to hear the melodic violin of Olivia again, a lingering feeling of enjoyment remained.

Next up, without Olivia’s performance, Benjamin no longer felt in the mood to continue watching. Holding flowers, he went to the backstage exit to wait for Olivia.

Having put away her violin and changed out of her gown, Olivia said goodbye to Winona Thornton and left first.

Barely stepping out, Olivia was startled to see Benjamin Johnson leaning against the wall, seemingly having been waiting for quite some time.

With a hint of laughter in her almond-shaped eyes, she turned to Benjamin and stopped in front of him, “How did you get here? You even knew I was here!”

With a faint arch of his eyebrows, a pleasing curve appeared at the corner of Benjamin’s lips, “This morning, you said it was busy in the afternoon, and when you left, I overheard your phone conversation about the performance costume being delivered to the theater, thus I guessed.”

The flowers Benjamin offered made Olivia hesitate for a few seconds, but eventually, she accepted the congratulatory gift without giving it too much thought.

“Thank you for coming to support me and for the gift. I truly appreciate your concern.”

“No problem at all. Your violin performance was excellent, rivaling that of a professional violinist. In fact, I look forward to hearing you play again. You are talented enough to hold a concert.”

Olivia maintained her casual smile, and handed the flowers to Valerie Howard.

“Sorry, it’s not that I can’t be bothered to hold them, it’s just this violin I’m holding is extremely valuable. It’s a rarity, very fragile, I can’t afford to drop it, so I must be careful with it. Benjamin, you flatter me. I’m just an ordinary person, unlikely to achieve greatness.”

Interest flashed in Benjamin’s eyes as he glanced at the violin Olivia was holding.

At that moment, Benjamin’s attention was completely drawn to the case of the violin, a familiar object.

“It seems like I’ve seen this somewhere.”

The smile on Olivia’s face deepened as she looked leisurely at Benjamin, her voice gently joking, “I rented this violin from a shop. Apparently, it is worth a supercar, a classic violin made by the most famous violin maker in the world – a custom-made model.”

Suddenly, Benjamin’s pupils contracted, “I remembered, I have seen Charmy Bennett holding the same violin.”

“Maybe it’s a coincidence, after all, there aren’t a few people who can afford top-level violins. Benjamin, I have other matters to attend, I’ll take my leave. And next time, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Benjamin nodded, his thoughts drifting far away.

Is it really such a coincidence?

Or is the violin in Olivia’s hands actually Charmy’s violin?

As clever as Olivia, why would she use Charmy’s violin?

Having suddenly realized something, Benjamin’s face twitched involuntarily.

Olivia didn’t go to the violin shop but directly found Jay Bennett.
