Chapter 501: 501 I am your husband, Daniel Marshall!
Picking oranges on the mountain was indeed tiring. Even a nap was enough to give Olivia Jenkins a deep sleep.
Suddenly, Olivia was awakened by a ringtone.
Unhappily, she frowned and fumbled for her phone in a daze.
Olivia, with her eyes closed, answered the call while half-asleep, “Hello!”
Her voice was hoarse and thick. Daniel Marshall couldn’t help but furrow his brows, “Honey, what are you up to?”
Honey?
The voice sounded familiar; it also felt extremely familiar. Could it be she’s dreaming?
Olivia mumbled confusedly, “Did Daniel Marshall sneak into my dream? What a strange voice!”
Daniel’s low voice consciously softened: “Honey, are you sleeping?”
“Of course, I am sleeping. Am I not dreaming?”
“Do I appear in your dream?” Daniel’s usually cold hard facial features softened slightly, making his handsome face even more tender.
Continuing on the call, Olivia rubbed her eyes, “Who are you?”
“I’m your husband—Daniel Marshall!”
“My husband, Daniel Marshall?” As if she remembered something, she opened her eyes suddenly.
She looked at the caller ID on the phone; it truly was Daniel.
On his end of the call, Daniel’s voice was clear, talking even slower, enunciating each word, “Yes, your husband called you.”
Olivia blinked and sat up, her heart mocking: What wind blew him my way?
She had now sobered up, and disdain was evident in her eyes.
Even though Daniel reached out to her, she did not want to deal with him.
“I’ve got to start working and have no time for small talk.”
“Alright, work! What I wanted to talk to you about is rather serious. I want all the fruits from Harmony Village!”
Humphing, she openly expressed her annoyance, “Have you lost your mind?”
“The employees of Marshall Corporation have worked hard all year round. It’s only right that I reward them. Moreover, it’s almost the end of the year, distributing them to our clients seems befitting.”
Even if it was for the company’s employees and clients, they wouldn’t need that many fruits. It was clear that Daniel wanted to help her. Olivia scoffed at his sudden kindness.
“Daniel Marshall, I don’t need your charity. I’ll figure out a way to expand the distribution. And I don’t need you meddling in this.”
Dropping the conversation, Olivia immediately hung up on Daniel.
Daniel, who was on his way on the highway in his off-road car, was fuming.
This woman is just too much!
Even in his earnest attempt to help her, she disregarded him.
This woman sought Benjamin Davis’s help but left him hanging. What was she trying to imply?
Does she just want to get close with Benjamin Davis?
With each thought, Daniel’s rage grew. His handsome face turned solemn, exuding an eerie aura.
After hesitating for a bit, Simon Howard asked cautiously, “Daniel, are we still going to Harmony Village?”
“Why wouldn’t we? Why should they lead an easy life? I am Olivia’s lawful husband; what the hell does Benjamin Davis account for?”
Simon shut his mouth and continued driving ahead.
Even though he hadn’t seen Benjamin Davis or reached Harmony Village, Simon already sniffed the scent of conflict.
Daniel was genuinely angry. If he saw Benjamin Davis, he would probably start a fight.
Beyond that, Simon dared not say or provoke his boss.
Olivia didn’t take Daniel’s call to heart.
She was totally awake now and decided to get up.
Stepping out of the room, Olivia saw David Jefferson.
David was all smiles, and greeted her softly, “Olivia!”
“We are about to start shooting shortly. Are you ready? The guest is about to arrive.”
David nodded slightly, “I’m all ready. I quite enjoy it here.”
“Climbing the hill to pick the oranges can be tough. Hang in there!”
Suddenly, David gave Olivia a hug.
