Chapter 522: Chapter 522: Happiness Returns
Stunned for a few seconds, Olivia Jenkins nudged Daniel Marshall, “There’s a scent on you, stay a bit away from me!”
The anticipation in Daniel’s eyes dimmed, and he narrowed his eyes with his sexy, tight-lipped smile turned downward.
Olivia looked at Daniel, the corners of her mouth curling up in a slight smile. “It’s the strong masculine scent. I’m not quite used to it.”
Daniel’s deep, dark eyes flickered, his sexy lips still pressed tight together.
Suddenly, Olivia kissed Daniel’s sexy thin lips.
Without saying a word, Daniel just looked at Olivia.
Olivia kissed Daniel’s sexy lips again.
Suddenly, Daniel’s domineering breath took over Olivia’s lips, releasing all of his pent-up longing.
It wasn’t until Olivia was almost out of breath that Daniel finally released her.
Seeing that Olivia and Daniel had made up, a smile unconsciously crept up on Benjamin Johnson’s face.
Regret surged in his heart like a raging tide, yet Benjamin couldn’t help but feel happy for Olivia.
Even though his heart ached, he had let go. Unlike before, when seeing Charmy Bennett and Daniel together, he was filled with bone-deep hatred.
Olivia was right, love wasn’t about possession. He couldn’t selfishly impose his feelings on others.
In fact, seeing Olivia happy brought joy to Benjamin’s heart. Because being able to see Olivia’s smiling face was more important than anything else.
Olivia was like the sun, illuminating his path. This was already a significant gain in his life, and it was more than enough!
Simon Howard glared at Benjamin Johnson. “Do you enjoy spying on people kissing? How about showing some respect?”
Benjamin glanced at Simon, “As if you weren’t sneaking a peek too. It’s like a thief crying ‘stop thief’.”
Simon gave an exasperated sigh. “You know, when they aren’t fighting or giving each other the silent treatment, they seem like a match made in heaven. Showering us singletons with their lovey-dovey moments is just too much. Sometimes I find them pretty annoying, too ostentatious!”
With that, Benjamin burst out laughing, “Seems like you’re holding quite some grudges!”
“You don’t get it! I’m going to dig potatoes. I won’t be the third wheel anymore.”
“Let’s go together, I’ll dig potatoes too.”
Simon gave Benjamin a meaningful look, but didn’t say anything more.
Both of them left together, neither conversing nor bothering with the other.
Daniel and Olivia had arranged a partnership, and the village leaders went from house to house to encourage support for a project that could bring good news to the whole village.
Some young people already expressed that they would not go out to work after the New Year, choosing instead to stay in their hometown and develop there. On the other hand, they wanted to spend more time with their children and families.
Daniel, with Olivia on his shoulder, arrived at the only school in the village.
It was recess, and Daniel and Olivia saw all the pupils playing in the small playground.
While the weather was cold, the children’s innocent smiles were radiant, like blooming sunflowers.
In just a few short minutes, the children had a lot of fun. As soon as the bell rang, they dutifully returned to their classrooms to study.
Their simplicity and innocence was impressive and unforgettable.
This school only has two floors and looks quite old, as such, the children’s play space was limited.
“Honey, they would be happier if they had a library. If they had beautiful classrooms, if they could learn like the children in the city, they would have more opportunities to leave the mountains, right?”
“Wifey, I want to build them a new school, with a library, a gymnasium, equipped with information technology teaching, so that they can learn more, and have more confidence to go out into the world.”
An sweet smile surfaced on Olivia’s face.
