Chapter 654: 654: Muddling Along

“Good!” Mrs. Jenkins nodded approvingly, with tears quietly forming in her eyes.

Mrs. Jenkins deeply regretted her past actions, wishing for the happiness of her children. Otherwise, she would be plagued with self-blame.

Daniel Marshall comforted her warmly, “Grandma, you don’t need to worry about us. We believe we can figure it out. Happiness won’t just slip away from us, we will firmly hold it in our hands. Besides, my grandfather really cares about us and wants the best for us. Olivia and I will never let you down.”

Mrs. Jenkins looked at Daniel with a gratified gaze, a faint smile lifting from the corners of her mouth, “You are more mature and steady than Olivia. I believe her father chose the right person.”

“Olivia also has many strengths. She’s like a beacon of light illuminating my heart, guiding me in the right direction. It’s really me who has a bad temper that sometimes upsets her.”

Speaking in a serious tone, Mrs. Jenkins said, “Marriage doesn’t have a standard answer, maybe even an open-book test can troll sometimes. But what’s certain is, if someone wants to back down, it will definitely affect the other party.

If both parties are unwilling to work hard, then the marriage will definitely be a mess. When you hit an impasse, it’s better to cool down and ask your heart what it really wants. Of course, respecting the other person is a prerequisite.

As an elder, I naturally hope that you love each other and remain happy forever. Perhaps I don’t have much time left. I sincerely wish for your well-being.”

Daniel listened attentively and agreed with his grandmother’s teachings. His voice was deeper and clearer than it had been a few days ago, “I will keep your teachings in mind, thank you, grandma.”

“Rest up, don’t overthink. I’ll try to persuade Olivia, it’s my duty as an elder – I can’t let her do as she pleases.”

Immediately, a flicker of concern passed through Daniel’s eyes, prompting his forehead to furrow, “Grandma…”

Mrs. Jenkins understood what Daniel was getting at and interrupted him, “Don’t worry, I won’t scold her, I’ll reason with her and I won’t force her. I know you’re still protecting her, your heart is always with her. That’s a rare quality in a marriage, you should cherish it.”

Daniel and his grandmother exchanged eye contact, the corners of his lips lifting into a serene curve.

He trusted his elder’s love wholeheartedly.

He could also feel his grandmother’s change, she was sincerely looking after them.

…

After leaving the hospital, Mrs. Jenkins went to look for Olivia at the film set.

Seeing the grandeur of a film shooting for the first time, Mrs. Jenkins found it quite fascinating and couldn’t refrain from letting her eyes wander.

Olivia also joined her grandmother for a tour around the makeshift filming site.

“Olivia, you mean the offices, homes, bedrooms used in filming are all set up? From what I just saw, it all looked real, but it’s just a backdrop.”

Olivia, hand in hers, beautiful face donning a sweet smile, “Grandma, modern filming technologies incorporate a lot of new tech. That backdrop wall was created using LED technology, it looks just like real-life in the footage.

This huge studio is rented, can shoot many different scenes. The crew follows a filming schedule daily. A lot of departments have to coordinate and optimize various details to ensure the smooth operation of the team.”

“Olivia, you’ve worked hard!”

Olivia’s pretty face shone with a confident glow, her clear eyes radiant, “I’m learning and loving it, I’m not tired. Perhaps, in the future, I can win the awards for best scriptwriter or best producer.”
