He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 477: 477: Admitting Love for Olivia Jenkins

A cold dagger seemingly stabbed into Charmy Bennett’s heart, and her heart instantly froze over.

Her tears also came to an abrupt halt, her gaze filled with an extraordinary disappointment as she looked at Benjamin Johnson.

“A woman as ambitious as Olivia Jenkins, would she care about Daniel’s love? Benjamin Johnson, don’t let her deceive you. This cunning woman is playing you like a fiddle.”

The cold smile that surfaced on Charmy Bennett’s face made Benjamin Johnson feel unnerved, he had not expected such a drastic change in her.

“Charmy Bennett, you must’ve misunderstood Olivia Jenkins, she’s not who you think she is, not nearly as unacceptable, you’re just biased against her.”

“You didn’t deny it, which means you must’ve fallen for her, haven’t you? Benjamin Johnson, you are a real bastard. Chattering on about how deeply you loved my sister, seeking justice for her, wanting to confront Daniel for her… it’s all so laughable.”

Benjamin Johnson’s lips pressed together, his deep eyes unwaveringly focused on Charmy Bennett.

His handsome face remained expressionless.

He won’t deny his feelings for Olivia Jenkins. Throughout his interactions with her, he was indeed fond of her straightforwardness and honesty. But he wasn’t stubborn like before, obsessed with possession.

He wasn’t quite sure if this was love.

But, before he came to Serene City, before he met Olivia Jenkins, he had deeply loved Charmy Bennett, had never been able to let her go. Hence, he deeply resented Daniel.

After receiving treatment, his anger from the past was gradually dissipating, gradually becoming less important. He was also slowly coming to terms with reality.

Looking at Charmy Bennett in her hysterical state, Benjamin Johnson felt like he was looking at his once obstinate self, a complicated feeling in his heart.

It was quite a pitiful sight, also a sad one, as she slowly lost herself.

Suddenly, Benjamin Johnson, with a calm demeanor advised, “Charmy Bennett, I don’t wish for you to repeat the selfish past of mine. Let yourself go, love yourself more. Affection cannot be forced, you cannot force it on others. Hurting others is essentially hurting yourself.”

“Olivia Jenkins and I have nothing to hide. Please don’t assume the worst about us. I have a soft spot for her, but it’s mainly admiration, and I’m proud of her charm. Affection can be of many types, it’s not necessary to be in a relationship, which I only recently realized.

If we can’t be lovers, we could be confidants, or friends. Dealing with each other in such a manner might be more relaxed. Mutual attraction is love, else it’s just wishful thinking.

I believe Olivia Jenkins is a sensible, intelligent woman. She won’t cross the line, she sees me as nothing more than a good friend. Please, don’t hurt her, and don’t see her as an obstacle between us.”

Charmy Bennett burst out laughing, the sound of her laughter was somewhat eerie and horrifying, “After all is said and done, you’re still defending her. You and Daniel have both fallen for her tricks.”

“Back then, when I pursued your sister, I loved her deeply, yet she didn’t love me back at all. I was full of hostility towards Daniel, just like the way you’re thinking now. But, if there’s no love, it can’t be forced.

Also, reality has proved that your sister and Daniel are happy together. Their love is one of mutual attraction. My stubbornness hurt your sister, again and again. Looking back now, I feel how foolish I was.”

“Benjamin Johnson, I understand what you mean now. Please leave, I need some peace and quiet.”

Hiding the turmoil in her heart, Charmy Bennett opened the door for Benjamin Johnson herself.
