He Clings to Me Every Night

A few seconds later, she replied nonchalantly, “It’s the same as always.”

Olivia Jenkins’ sharp gaze never wavered from Abigail. She suggested significantly, “If something’s bothering you, you can talk to me about it. A surgeon can’t operate on themselves, but they can certainly help a patient.”

Abigail gave a faint smile, hiding her true emotions.

Lately, she had been feeling a bit vexed.

The three-month contract term had ended, but Jordan Bennett sought to extend it, refusing to announce any news of their breakup.

If this carried on, with extensions every three months, it might last three years. She couldn’t endure that. It was equivalent to selling herself away, and she wouldn’t stand for it.

Moreover, Jordan Bennett was overreaching, demanding that she move in with him and wanting her to play the part of his live-in girlfriend. It was too much.

In the past, she had no money, couldn’t afford to pay the rent, and sometimes struggled to afford food. That’s when she agreed to this contract with Jordan. Now, she had money and could fend for herself. She didn’t want to depend on a man anymore.

Besides, this confusing relationship was really annoying!

Biting her lower lip, Abigail expressed her troubles, “His two sisters keep pestering me to get married every day. I’m about to go crazy. His second sister is older than me and hasn’t yet married, yet she keeps pushing me to settle down. It’s unfair. However, apart from this annoyance, they are quite good to me. They often give me a lot of stuff and lots of good food.”

Olivia’s beautiful face brightened up with laughter. It was obvious that her mood had improved and she was no longer affected by Daniel Marshall and the matters of the Marshall family.

After some thought, Olivia advised seriously, “As someone who has been through it, I must remind you that love is a matter of two people, but marriage involves a whole family. It’s not easy, and you must think it through carefully.

It’s not just about finding a good man, but the attitude of his family matters too. If they treat you poorly, grit your teeth, bear the pain, and let go. Because in married life, family members can make a lot of petty disputes, and it never ends.

You might think having a protective man is enough, that you can trust him with everything and ignore the rest, but reality is not like this. It’s very easy to get drained. It’s easier to fight an individual, but fighting against a group of people can exhaust you to death.”

“Olivia, you must be tired, aren’t you?”

Olivia nodded, but her facial expression seemed to have eased a little, “You and I are different, and Jordan Bennett’s family is not that complicated. I’ve met his sisters, they are fine. My advice is just for your consideration, you don’t have to attribute it to them. Whether you can get along with someone or not, you have to feel it with your heart.”

Abigail sighed, then said, “Whatever, I’ll focus on making money first. When a woman has a career in her hands, she can be more assertive. Without money and career, it’s like having no support. Waiting for a man’s charity every day is so frustrating! Everything’s good when times are good, but when times are bad, they may treat you terribly!”

“Enough about this, let’s go in and indulge in the food. Let’s focus on making a name for ourselves and living our lives fabulously.”

“Right, that’s it. I’m not thinking about it anymore.”

Olivia and Abigail exchanged smiles, linking their arms together cheerfully as they entered the private restaurant.

…

It was dark outside, but Daniel Marshall still had not arrived.

Adam Howard called Daniel, who indicated that he would not be able to come due to other matters.

Adam thought that Olivia wouldn’t make it either, but suddenly, he saw Olivia and Abigail arriving together.

Olivia was all smiles and jokingly announced, “I’ve brought a beautiful lady with me!”
