He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 859: Chapter 859: Your Wife Is Hostile Toward Me

Having returned to Marshall Corporation, Grace Ziegler took the initiative to speak with Daniel Marshall.

Grace’s expression was one of pure innocence, but her cunning eyes released a probing gaze that intrigued Daniel.

“Daniel, does Sister-in-law have some misunderstandings about me? I feel like she’s not too happy with my presence. If it’s my fault, I hope I can help you guys. By the way, I haven’t seen Sister-in-law for a long time, did you two have a fight?”

Daniel’s deep eyes fixed on Grace.

If Olivia Jenkins wasn’t so thorny, if she had been as considerate as Grace, if she had trusted him, their marital relationship wouldn’t have come to this point.

That woman was simply taking advantage of his love for her, making unreasonable scenes, provoking him time and again.

Yet, he had no way to deal with her, because he still loved her so much.

“Grace, just focus on your work, don’t worry about other things, it’s none of your business.”

After hesitating for a few seconds, Grace continued, “I also feel like Assistant Howard is hostile towards me, I just can’t understand, what did I do wrong, am I particularly unlikable?

Daniel, I know that meeting you, having such a good brother like you, is the fortune of three lifetimes I’ve cultivated, I’m always grateful to you, but I don’t want to be a burden to you.”

Daniel’s voice softened, comforting her, “Don’t overthink it, I can handle my own affairs, and things are not as bad as you think.”

Grace bowed her head, putting on a look of being wronged and dejected, “I’ve always thought I was superfluous, I shouldn’t have appeared at Marshall Corporation, and definitely not in your life.”

“Nobody is targeting you specifically, you’re really overthinking it, and you shouldn’t feel mentally burdened.”

Grace pursed her lips and said no more.

Daniel casually took out a cigarette, ready to light it up, but then he remembered Grace was still sitting in front of him, so he decided not to smoke. He just held the cigarette between two fingers, “You should go home and see your mom during the long holiday next month, take the chance to relax. When you come back to work, you’ll feel much better.”

Grace nodded slightly, “Understood, I’ll go back to work then.”

…

Olivia Jenkins had already prepared the new divorce agreement and was waiting for the courier to pick it up. As she waited, Olivia’s thoughts unconsciously drifted into memories of the past.

About three or four years ago, during the summer, she was doing research in the United States and happened to save an injured bearded man.

At that time, she inadvertently heard the man on a phone call, saying that he had been kidnapped. Luckily, he had escaped, but someone was still after him, trying to recapture him.

Fortunately, the lab where she worked with the professor was located in a somewhat secluded area, and there was a hidden compartment in the lab that enabled her to help the bearded man evade capture.

A week later, while she was out, the bearded man must have been picked up by someone—he had left only a note behind, and after that, she never saw him again, and she forgot about the entire incident.

Now, thinking back, that bearded man must have been Daniel Marshall.

This realization clarified for Olivia why Daniel had agreed to their marriage in the first place.

So, that’s why Daniel had agreed so readily to register their marriage back then…

Suddenly, Olivia’s phone rang.

Olivia’s train of thought was brought back to the present, her attention returning to the courier.

“Delivery guy, are you at the door?”

“Yes!”

“Hold on, I’ll be right out.”

Olivia hurried downstairs to send the courier on his way.

Without any scruples, she used Benjamin Johnson’s home address directly.
