Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1944: Summer Hall Side Story (146)

At that time, she was so frustrated and helpless by his questions that all she could say was that their parents passed all the good genes to him and his brother, leaving nothing for their sister.

Although she was just trying to humor him at the time, she really hadn’t thought about it any further.

It wasn’t until now that she understood why Olivia was the most foolish one. It was because she wasn’t a child of the Smith Family.

Thinking about this, Evelyn Taylor couldn’t help but feel a bit sighful.

Looking across at Helen Melendy, she felt a deep sense of comfort.

After the coffee was ready, Helen poured a cup for her, noticing her complex expression. Helen smiled and said helplessly:

"Mom, why are you looking at me like that?"

Evelyn sighed and said:

"Helen, your father and I made you suffer so much outside. I feel so apologetic every time I see you, I..."

Evelyn wasn’t usually a very emotional person, but whenever she talked about Helen, she easily became sentimental.

Seeing Evelyn like this, Helen couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless.

"Mom, please don’t be like this. I really don’t blame you. You didn’t leave me behind on purpose."

She held Evelyn’s hand tighter and said earnestly:

"Although I grew up in an orphanage, the director treated me very well, as if I were her own child. There were many brothers and sisters, and uncles and aunts taking care of me there. I wasn’t lonely."

She pointed to herself, and continued:

"I grew up in a big family and was really happy. The director even helped me become a high achiever. Look at me, I’m quite successful now, right?"

Evelyn quickly nodded.

She graduated from a prestigious school, opened her own sizable law firm, and had quite a reputation in her field.

"So you see, you don’t have to feel sorry for me. I haven’t really suffered at all."

With a smile, she comforted Evelyn, "Everyone’s life path is different, and so are their encounters. If I had been born into the Smith Family, I might not have met Harry Hall..."

Saying this, she lowered her eyes and gave a soft laugh with a hint of shyness, "The son-in-law I found isn’t too bad, right?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Her words truly comforted Evelyn, and when she mentioned Harry, Evelyn smiled even brighter.

"He’s not just ’not bad’—he’s absolutely wonderful."

Hearing her husband praised like that, Helen’s smile grew even broader.

"See, even though I’m not with the Smith Family, I’ve received so much love from people who are like family. I’ve had an education not everyone gets and met such a good husband. I don’t feel like there’s anything to complain about."

She looked earnestly at Evelyn, her tone firm, "Mom, I’m really happy to have reunited with all of you. Although the director has passed away, I know I still have so many family members in this world. I’m very content. You shouldn’t dwell on the past; wouldn’t it be better for us to live happily henceforward?"

Listening to this, Evelyn nodded vigorously, hiding the warmth in her eyes, and said:

"You’re right. It’s me who was overthinking. Holding on to the past won’t do any good. It’s a blessing from heaven that we mother and daughter could reunite."

"Exactly, so you and Dad shouldn’t dwell on it anymore."
