Jay Bennett’s gaze slightly fell, catching a glimpse of Daniel Marshall from the corner of his eye.
“I just feel like my mouth is a bit bland, suddenly craving something spicy.”
The handsome features on Daniel’s face didn’t register a hint of surprise, as he lightly opened his thin lips, “Every time you go on tour, you pay special attention to your diet. Spicy hot pot causes heat, aren’t you afraid of getting pimples? Aren’t you afraid it’ll affect your performance?”
Fluttering his lightly curled eyelashes, Jay lifted his gaze to meet Daniel’s, defending himself, “I eat very little, it’s okay. Besides, it’s cold now. It might not affect much. I have eaten once in Kyoto and nothing happened.”
“Jay, have you encountered any problems? Your aunt and uncle are very concerned about you. If you have time, arrange a call to them.”
Jay gave a tug at the corner of his mouth, making an effort to put on a faint smile, “I am fine, no need to worry about me. Recently I have been busy rehearsing, preparing for the tour, so I forgot to call them. Tomorrow morning, I’ll assure them I am okay.”
Being usually astute, Daniel could not overlook Jay’s unusual demeanor. However, as Jay was unwilling to discuss, Daniel furrowed his brow, “If something is bothering you, I hope you’ll talk to me. I will definitely help you solve it and give you the best advice.”
Nibbling lightly on his lip, Jay nodded in response.
The soup base for the beef was ready; Daniel resumed preparing food for Jay without another word.
Jay has grown up now. She has her own space and her own secrets. Daniel doesn’t want to intrude too much.
If Jay can handle her own affairs, he doesn’t have to intervene. He will always be her support. If she ever needs him, he will definitely help, as long as she asks.
After finishing the hot pot, Daniel drove Jay home.
On the way, Jay suddenly started asking about Olivia Jenkins.
“Are you two doing okay? I saw her scandals, she seems to be a complex person.”
With a deep and chiseled visage, looking like a perfectly carved masterpiece, his handsome face unexplainably fell, expressing absolute seriousness, “It’s fine! As she is my wife, I have caused her some troubles. Hence, she might appear complicated.”
Jay shook his head, “I don’t understand all that, it seems too profound. Has she met Benjamin Johnson in Cross City? Did she not blame him? Has their relationship improved?”
An almost imperceptible flicker crossed through Daniel’s deep-set eyes.
He too was unaware of how Olivia suddenly reconciled with Benjamin. It seemed their relationship was not bad.
Had this woman forgotten how Benjamin hurt her before?
Had she forgiven him?
Did she dare to approach Benjamin again? Had she lost her mind?
Trying not to alarm Jay, Daniel was desperately holding back the fury about to erupt within him.
Daniel’s lips twitched slightly upwards, as if everything was normal, trying to portray a casual demeanor, “They have met in Cross City due to some matters related to David Jefferson. Olivia is an adult, she knows the boundaries, she should understand what she is doing.”
Suddenly, Daniel’s expression became stern, carrying a fierce sharpness. His hawk-like eyes stared intensely at Jay, “Do you have feelings for Benjamin?”
Jay stayed silent, her lower lip trapped between her teeth.
Lowering her head, Jay dared not look at Daniel.
Daniel’s handsome eyebrows knit in distress due to a headache, his emotions were complex, “You know very well what kind of person Benjamin is. The person he likes is your sister; there will be no happy ending for you two. Jay, don’t be foolish. Focus on your career. You are still young, in one or two years, you will be more mature, perhaps your thoughts will change as well.”
“I think, Benjamin is in love with your wife.”
