Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1951: Summer Hall Side Story (153)

Because Edward and Thomas went through the same thing, Olivia never felt anything about it before.

But this time, the Smith Family specially organized a birthday party for Helen Melendy and even invited all the renowned millionaires and social elites from Greece.

Such a glorious treatment, Olivia had never enjoyed, so why should Helen Melendy get to enjoy it?

Olivia’s eyes were sour with jealousy.

At that moment, her phone rang. It was Thomas calling.

Her eyes lit up suddenly, and she quickly answered the call, her voice changing the moment she picked up.

"Second brother."

Hearing the obvious sobbing yet suppressed voice from the other end of the line, Thomas’s heart sank, "Olivia, what’s happening?"

"No... nothing’s wrong, second brother."

Olivia’s sobbing voice became even more evident compared to before, and her nasal tone grew heavier.

Thomas would never believe Olivia’s words; his naturally deep voice turned even deeper.

"Olivia, don’t take your second brother for a fool, what’s really happening?"

"I’m really fine, second brother. I just... I just miss all of you."

Speaking of which, she sniffled and said, "In half a month, it’s my birthday. We’ve always celebrated it as a family, but now..."

Dropping those words, she began to cry, her nose twitching.

Listening to Olivia’s words, Thomas’s heart ached along with hers.

Imagining her living alone in the apartment he bought for her, without anyone around, just thinking about it made his heart ache even more.

Thinking about how half a month later the Smith Family would host a birthday gala for Helen Melendy while Olivia spends her birthday alone, a surge of anger flooded Thomas’s heart.

The more he contrasted the glory Helen Melendy enjoyed with Olivia’s lonely and helpless situation, the more Thomas’s anger spiraled out of control.

"Olivia, don’t be sad; let your second brother handle this matter."

Olivia’s face revealed a hint of a triumphant smile, but her voice carried an anxious tone as she said to Thomas:

"Second brother, what are you planning to do? Don’t act recklessly. Mom and Dad are already very unhappy with me, if you stir things up with them for my sake, they’ll surely vent their anger on you."

The more she spoke, the more anxious she became, and her voice even carried a crying tone due to the urgency.

"Second brother, listen to me, please don’t do anything foolish. I’m truly fine, being at home quietly by myself is quite good. Please don’t upset Mom and Dad... no, don’t upset Mr. Smith and Madam Smith because of me."

Listening to Olivia’s anxious crying tone and hearing her not dare to call them Mom and Dad, only "Mr. Smith" "Madam Smith," Thomas clearly realized she had grievances against their parents too. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

He had no objection to their kindness towards Helen Melendy, but why must things be divided so clearly, couldn’t the Smith Family raise one more daughter?

If they were going to host a birthday party for Helen Melendy, couldn’t they throw one for Olivia too?

At the very least, with both having their birthdays on the same day, couldn’t they have a joint celebration?

The more Thomas thought about it, the angrier he became, but facing Olivia, he forced himself to suppress it, speaking softly to her:

"Alright, Olivia, don’t worry, your second brother will listen to you, I promise not to act recklessly."

"Mm, thank you, second brother, I’m already very happy to receive your call."

At this point, Olivia paused for a moment, her voice softer than before, seemingly carrying a trace of caution, "Second brother?"
