He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 557: The First One to Ask for Information

Michael Marshall’s face did not change color, calmly he said, “Thanks for Mr. James’ invitation, but sorry, my father has gone abroad. He’s celebrating the New Year with Daniel Marshall.”

Edward Marshall’s eyes dimmed, and his expression changed slightly, “Big brother always liked to celebrate the New Year here. Why would he go abroad? There’s no festive atmosphere abroad! Before, it was my big brother who invited us to the New Year’s Eve dinner. I thought this year was my turn to host the family banquet, and we all could have a good time.”

A faint smile touched the corners of Michael’s mouth, “When dad comes back, we’ll invite everyone to have the beginning of the year feast. thanks to the generous invitation from Daniel and Olivia Jenkins, dad went. With two young people accompanying him, dad should also be very happy.”

“Well then, we will have to gather again next year. Michael, since you’re alone in Beverly Hills, come over and have the New Year’s Eve dinner with us.”

“Okay, Mr. James Marshall! Is James… not coming back for the New Year?”

“Flying back and forth is too bothersome, James and the others aren’t coming back. Michael, I’ll go ahead, I have to go home and supervise the servants in preparing for the New Year’s Eve dinner, you come early!”

Michael slightly nodded, and stood up to see off Mr. James Marshall.

Without hesitating for a second, Edward left.

Afterward, Michael went to the Joyful Hall to burn incense. He sat there for a while, looking at his father’s favorite tea.

Sitting at the tea table where his dad often sat, Michael called Daniel.

“Mr. James Marshall just left. He especially came to invite us to the New Year’s Eve dinner. I told him that our grandfather went abroad and is with you guys. James didn’t come back.”

Daniel, who was at the hospital, his eagle-like eyes emitted a chilling glow, “Dad, be cautious, even our own people need to be guarded against. I really didn’t expect Mr. James Marshall to go to Beverly Hills first.”

Michael frowned, “Daniel, don’t you think you’re overthinking? Your grandfather and Mr. James Marshall are real brothers, how could he possibly harm your grandfather?”

Daniel sneered, contemptuously saying, “Whether he has done anything I can’t say for sure since I have no evidence. However, it is a fact that he came to inquire. Although Grandfather’s domineering style and years of power have earned him many enemies, his presence alone poses a god-like threat to many. Dad, you need to stay vigilant, because the human heart is unpredictable.”

Michael’s mood turned heavier, and his face did not look so good, “I agreed to go to dinner for the New Year’s Eve. I’ll go and investigate.”

“Don’t worry, Olivia and I are guarding grandpa.”

After a pause, for the first time, Michael gently said, “You guys have worked hard, and you guys should take care of yourselves. It’s getting cold. According to the weather forecast, there will be light snow tonight. You guys need to bundle up.”

Daniel was feeling a mix of emotions, his nose was stinging mysteriously, his voice suddenly hoarse, “I know. You take care of yourself too. During this critical period, you have to shoulder everything on the surface. You are also having a tough time.”

Michael innately felt gratified. A faint smile spread across his lips, “Happy New Year’s Eve! Happy New Year! Wishing you all peace!”

“Dad, same to you.”

“Okay! I’m hanging up now, preparing to go to Mr. James Marshall’s house.”

“Be careful on the way, bye!”

Michael hung up the phone, the smile lingering on his lips seemed to deepen, a warm feeling was welling up in his heart.

…

Daniel tightly hugged Olivia, a look of apology on his face, “Wife, I’m sorry that you have to spend the New Year like this with me. We were supposed to be happy and give you a memorable honeymoon but I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.”

Olivia affectionately pressed her face against Daniel’s, “It’s okay, I’ll cook you New Year’s Eve dinner.”
