He Clings to Me Every Night

Valerie stuck out her tongue and took a few deep breaths, slightly relieved from the spiciness before saying, “The Mapo Tofu has minced meat in it, I think it’s delicious. But the spicy chicken is too spicy, I can’t handle that level of heat.”

Olivia listened keenly to their feedback and jotted it down in her notebook, “The spiciness of the spicy chicken can be adjusted according to the customer’s order. If it’s just dried chili, it’s actually not that spicy. It’s the bird’s eye chili that’s really hot.”

After a thought, Abigail honestly said, “I think the spicy chicken needs more tweaking, the chicken doesn’t seem seasoned enough.”

Olivia nodded slightly without lifting her eyes from her notebook, “I’ve noted everything. I’ll give the feedback to the chef. Another day, we’ll have another tasting session, where I will invite some well-known chefs to try the dishes and ask for their opinions.”

Abigail smiled lightly, “I am most satisfied with the clay pot rice, I’m on my second bowl already.”

Olivia looked up and asked Abigail, “Do you want to take an extra portion home?”

Abigail shook her head, her pretty face blushing slightly, “I’ll just take one portion home for him to eat. Once your restaurant opens, we will definitely come and support it frequently.”

Olivia teased, “Since you two are so sweet, why don’t you marry him? I’m sure his older sisters would be over the moon.”

Abigail kept quiet, her cheeks turning a shade pinker.

She hadn’t expected that Jordan Bennett would actually take her seriously.

That night she told him about it, and he tore up the contract on the spot. He said he never took the contract seriously to begin with, and thought that she insisted on sticking to it.

Anyway, since they had discussed it, there were no issues, and they were even living together now.

After a moment of silence, Abigail sincerely said, “I want to thank you all for giving me the courage to be this happy, and to be with Jordan with no worries.”

Valerie joked, “If you’re feeling embarrassed, why don’t you treat us to a meal next time?”

Instantly, Olivia looked at Valerie with interest, “You just joked in a manner so similar to Adam Howard.”

Valerie hastily said, “Olivia, please don’t misunderstand, I have no interest in that playboy at all. My brother said, if he dares to bully me or lay a finger on me, my brother will beat him up.”

Olivia’s bright almond eyes sparkled with amusement, “Let nature take its course then. But aside from his flirtatiousness, Adam is actually a good person. He’s true to his words, very humorous, and he surely knows how to charm women.”

Valerie grimaced, “Stop talking about him, let’s talk about something else. Any more dishes? We can pack the leftovers home.”

Looking up, Olivia said, “Yes, there’s more coming soon. We’ll be trying a lot of dishes today, feel free to take any leftovers. Eat slowly, don’t stuff yourself.”

Abigail, holding her phone, also looked up, capturing the incredible spectacle and sent it to Jordan.

Just chatting with Jordan gets Abigail feeling so sweet and blissful, she’s all smiles.

Olivia watched Abigail.

True, she envied Abigail’s simplicity and straightforwardness, but Olivia was more focused on her career.

…

By four in the afternoon, Daniel Marshall arrived, and he went straight in for a kiss with Olivia, ignoring everyone else.

Immediately, Valerie bashfully covered her eyes, unable to watch.

Abigail also covered her forehead, laughing secretly.

After the passionate kiss, Daniel sat down next to Olivia, possessively wrapping his arms around her, and glared at Abigail and Valerie, “Can you guys return my wife to me now?”
