He Clings to Me Every Night-Chapter 652 - : The house is on fire?

Chapter 652: Chapter 652: The house is on fire?

Suddenly, a pungent smell of burning filled the entire kitchen.

Just as it was about to catch fire, Jay Bennett realized what was happening and quickly turned off the stove.

Not only was the ham charred, but the whole frying pan was also scorched black.

Looking at the disastrous scene, Jay Bennett felt even more heartbroken.

She sat on the floor and started crying.

For some time now, she had not seen Benjamin Johnson having any contact with Olivia Jenkins, they didn’t even meet, Benjamin Johnson would spend almost every day with her, and they would do charity work together. She thought that slowly Benjamin Johnson could forget about Olivia Jenkins.

They were so happy together, their synergy during charity work was seamless, and she thought that perhaps Benjamin Johnson might slowly start to like her.

But upon seeing these pictures, Jay Bennett’s heart was pierced with pain, and in an instant, she understood that it was all her wishful thinking – she was just fooling herself. Benjamin Johnson could never fall in love with her; he still couldn’t forget about Olivia Jenkins.

Even though she was with Daniel, she was still leading Benjamin Johnson on. Olivia Jenkins was really despicable, she truly didn’t deserve to exist in this world.

Jay Bennett really despised this vile woman and wished that this loathsome woman would disappear immediately!

Tears of sorrow began streaming down her cheeks like a broken string of pearls, soaking her pale little face.

Instinctively, Jay Bennett clenched her hands into tight fists, trembling uncontrollably with suppressed rage.

Her knuckles turned white from her clenching hard, and her teeth gnashed noisily.

After quite some time, Jay Bennett’s phone started ringing.

She saw Benjamin Johnson’s incoming call on the screen, but she didn’t answer, letting the phone ring continuously.

The phone rang once, paused for a few seconds, and then resumed its persistent ringing.

Jay Bennett still didn’t want to answer Benjamin Johnson’s call, but the phone continued its insistent ringing as if insisting it should be answered.

After this continued for a while, she finally answered.

On the other end of the phone, Benjamin Johnson was frantic, “What’s wrong?”

Jay Bennett felt a lump in her throat, and tears welled up in her eyes once more, “I… I’m feeling a bit sick, caught a cold, took some medicine and fell asleep… I…forgot to prepare lunch.”

For some unnamed reason, Benjamin Johnson breathed a sigh of relief.

Recently, he had been noticing Jay Bennett’s emotional state, fearing that she might isolate herself again.

She’d answered the phone, that reassured him a bit.

“It’s okay, I will buy some cakes for the kids. You take a good rest, don’t go out today, I’ll come to see you later.”

“You don’t have to specially come to see me. I can take care of myself.”

Benjamin Johnson was perceptive and noticed that Jay Bennett’s voice was hoarse, as if she had been crying. However, he didn’t voice this out loud.

He had to go to Jay Bennett’s house. He would only be reassured after finding her safe and well.

But on the surface, he agreed to Jay Bennett’s suggestion, “Alright, we’ll see after I finish work. I need to deliver the things to the kids first.”

Jay Bennett merely echoed a faint response and hung up the call.

In an instant, Benjamin Johnson furrowed his brows, his deep eyes narrowed.

Jay Bennett was different today. Usually, she had a lot to say to him, but now she obviously didn’t want to talk or deal with him. freewēbnoveℓ.com

What exactly was wrong with Jay Bennett?

Was she really sick?

After buying cakes and toys, Benjamin Johnson sent someone to deliver them to the orphanage. After explaining the reasons to the director over a phone call, he bought some medicine and food ingredients and headed over to Jay Bennett’s place.

He pressed the code. The gate opened, and Benjamin Johnson drove in directly.

The front door of the main building wasn’t locked, and he walked straight into the house.

Suddenly, he sensed a smell of burning.

Thinking that the kitchen was on fire, he ran over, only to see Jay Bennett sitting on the floor, crying with tears streaming down her face.
