Jay Bennett gently bit her lower lip, gathered her courage and reminded,

“Benjamin, I’m not a kid anymore. I’m 23 this year!”

Benjamin Johnson looked at Jay, and a thread of sorrow flashed in his heart inexplicably.

It had been five years since Charmy left. Jay was no longer the little girl who often followed Charmy around.

Benjamin lovingly ruffled Jay’s hair, “Fasten your seat belt, we’re about to leave. In my heart, you’re still the little girl who never grows up.”

Jay bit her lower lip again.

As she bent her head to fasten her seatbelt, a hint of disappointment passed through her eyes.

Touching her head, she could still feel the lingering warmth from Benjamin’s hand.

Stealing a glance at Benjamin, Jay cautiously said, “I… have a job now. I’ve truly grown up, can take care of myself, can stand on my own.”

Benjamin glanced at Jay, a faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, “Don’t worry, brother will never abandon you. You will always be my family.”

Her long eyelashes fluttered gently, and Jay fell silent, gazing out of the car window.

Although it was Jay who invited him to dinner, Benjamin took the initiative to bring her to a private diner.

Usually, because of Daniel, he seldom made contact with Jay.

But on every holiday or her birthday, he always sent her presents.

Occasionally, he would also take her out for dinner.

Over the past five years, he focused more on his career, thinking it would help him forget the pain.

He tried but failed!

As long as he knew Daniel was content and happy, he wanted to kill him.

If it wasn’t for Daniel, Charmy wouldn’t have died. No matter how much he loved Jay like a sister and took care of her on Charmy’s behalf, he could never forgive Daniel.

Charmy had only been dead for five years, and he remarried. Daniel, the bastard, didn’t deserve Charmy’s love, so he would teach him a lesson in Charmy’s place.

The waiter brought the dishes, and Benjamin, being a gentleman, took the initiative to serve Jay, “Beef with cucumber sprouts, it’s really good. You must try it.”

Looking at Benjamin, Jay gave him a sweet smile.

No matter what he served her, she would finish it all.

From time to time, Jay kept stealing glances at Benjamin.

“Benjamin, how long will you be staying in Serene City?”

“If business here goes smoothly, about two months.”

“I have some performances here and will also be staying in Serene City for a while. If you need company for meals, you can find me anytime.”

“Sure!”

Instantly, Jay’s smile deepened, and a wave of sweet warmth surged in her heart.

Olivia Jenkins and her assistant also came to the private diner.

In the parking lot, she saw Benjamin’s car.

Originally, Olivia didn’t intend to pay attention, but the woman was wearing a white dress and had long straight hair.

Because the woman’s back was facing the parking lot, Olivia couldn’t see her face clearly.

William Jacobs followed Olivia’s gaze, “Chief Jenkins, did you see someone you know?”

Olivia’s expression was inscrutable, “Yes! I’ll go and say hello, you come with me. Once we get acquainted, we’ll meet more often in the future.”

William followed Olivia to the small gazebo.

The gazebo was surrounded by beautiful vines, providing a cool, comfortable ambiance.

Caught off guard by Olivia’s sudden appearance, Benjamin stared at her with piercing eyes.

“Chief Jenkins, what a surprise! Join us!”

Olivia gave a shallow smile, her sharp gaze swept over Benjamin and the woman next to him.

Olivia recognized the woman. She had seen her many times usually accompanying Daniel..
