Olivia Jenkins paused, glanced upwards at Daniel Marshall, handing it off lightly, “Honey, your phone just rang, see who’s looking for you.”
There was a slight knot in Daniel’s eyebrows, his deep eyes unblinkingly staring at Olivia, releasing a thought-provoking observation.
After a moment of thought, Daniel half-opened his thin lips and softly said, “Darling, I lent Grace Ziegler fifty thousand yuan for her mother’s surgery. They are very grateful to me and want to give me some local specialties from their hometown.
Today, Grace told me about it, I didn’t ask for it, but, given her character, she will definitely hand it over to express her gratitude.
Grace doesn’t have a father. She has depended on her mother since she was a kid. Now that her mother can only rest in bed and has lost her ability to work, I think they are pitiful. Moreover, we should care for our employees, so I asked someone to look after them.
Grace can make chive pockets, and the taste unconsciously makes me think of my mother. I miss my mother. I also want to find my mother. But, I don’t know how to face my mother.
I don’t even know if my mother still remembers me? Does she want to acknowledge me? Even with such unease and trepidation, I can’t help but miss my mother. So, I miss the taste of the chive pockets from my childhood.”
Honey, I swear, I don’t have any improper feelings towards Grace. I just treat her like a younger sister. The assistance I provided was only because she cares about her mother.
Sometimes I wonder, if it was my biological mother who needed such help, would there be kind people to help her? Would she be so lucky? Is my mother okay? My intention to help others is hoping my mother could have such luck.
No matter where she is, I still hope she can live well; it’s just a slight intention as her son. It just so happens that the lucky one in my eyes turned out to be Grace, nothing else is possible between us.”
Olivia listened attentively, her gaze at Daniel gradually softened.
Leaving Grace aside, the fact that Daniel would reveal his heart to her was a great comfort to Olivia.
Looking into Daniel’s affectionate eyes, his sincerity didn’t seem fake. Olivia’s emotions suddenly became complex.
Maybe Daniel was telling the truth, but not all of it, right? Olivia vaguely felt that Daniel had held something back from her.
He didn’t tell her whether he had gone to Binzhou or not.
With sharp eyes fixed on Daniel, Olivia tentatively said, “Honey, actually my grandfather once told me to help you find your mother. At that time, my grandfather had just undergone surgery, I didn’t know if he was being sincere. But he was sure about one thing, you miss your mother.”
Daniel didn’t avoid Olivia’s gaze, his deep dark eyes shifting slightly, his sexy thin lips opening slightly, his undisturbed deep voice said, “My mother must hate the Marshall family. She only wants to be far away from the Marshall family and have nothing to do with it. Although I miss her and want to see her, perhaps not disturbing her current life is the best protection for her.
Not many people knew about the scandal back then. Once uncovered, it might be a deep blow to her, causing secondary harm. So, let’s live peacefully, keeping the memories in our hearts. Perhaps she also dislikes being disturbed.”
“I don’t understand your complicated family matters, so I’m not qualified to discuss it. However, I respect your decision. If you have concerns, there must be your reasons. Such a scandal, once uncovered, indeed causes harm.”
