Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1954: Summer Hall Side Story (156)

The more understanding Olivia is, the more guilty Thomas feels inside.

He feels useless, unable even to fight for a birthday party for her, and now she has to comfort him instead.

Looking down at the fair little hands tightly holding his own, Thomas had an unclear expression in his eyes.

Olivia doesn’t know what Thomas is thinking; seeing him silent, her heart is growing anxious.

Though she has left the Smith Family, she really doesn’t want to have no ties with them from now on.

She has millions in savings, but she’s lived a life of high society since childhood, and in terms of the Smith Family, millions are just the price of a watch.

She simply cannot live this life of falling from the clouds into the mud.

If Thomas cannot find a way to bring her back to the Smith Family, then she can only think of other ways.

Seeing Olivia’s furrowed brow and the expressible sadness in her eyes, Thomas felt a panic rising inside.

Turning around to hold Olivia’s hands, he promised:

"Olivia, don’t worry, even if you can’t return to the Smith Family, your second brother will not let you suffer in the slightest."

With these words, a touch of determination flashed in Thomas’s eyes.

"Your birthday, second brother will come and celebrate it with you."

After all, Helen Melendy has so many people to celebrate her birthday, she doesn’t need him, this dispensable second brother.

But Olivia is not satisfied with just that; she wants everyone’s blessings, wants everyone to know who the true miss of the Smith Family should be.

She cannot resign herself to being kicked out of the Smith Family to live as an ordinary person in such unclear circumstances.

"Second brother, thank you, I’m very happy."

Though she said so, her eyes carried an unmistakable loneliness that Thomas could perceive.

Thomas’s behavior never disappoints her.

Seeing her force a smile yet bearing such deep sadness, Thomas’s heart sank, and he asked worriedly:

"What’s wrong, Olivia, are you unhappy?"

"No, I’m very happy, Second brother, don’t overthink, and by no means should you upset Mom and Dad again."

Olivia reached out to gently wipe away the subtle traces of tears.

"Don’t mind this, just tell second brother, are you really unhappy?"

This time, Olivia didn’t deny it but kept biting her lower lip, her eyes red, in silence.

Thomas sighed softly, raised his hand to pat Olivia’s shoulder, and said:

"Actually, even if you don’t say anything, second brother knows, deep inside you’re very sad, but Mom is too heartless, you’ve been mother and daughter for thirty years, yet she doesn’t have even the slightest affection."

Speaking of this, Thomas was filled with indignation.

Then quickly added:

"It must be Helen Melendy who’s stirred something in Mom’s ear, now that Mom has finally brought her back, naturally, she listens to her about everything."

This time, Olivia was smart enough not to argue anything about Helen Melendy and instead emphasized the grievance on her face, silently sulking with her face flushed.

The more she behaves like this, the more Thomas harbors deepening hostility toward Helen Melendy.

After the anger, Thomas said:

"Now Mom still has bias against you, and with Helen Melendy by her side sowing discord, in a short time, Mom won’t change her view about you."

Olivia raised her red eyes to look at him, overwhelmed with silent grievance.

Thomas sees all of this, yet finds himself helpless.

Nowadays, the eldest brother is in charge of the family; Mom and Dad no longer handle family affairs. Now they are solely focused on Helen Melendy, even if he wants to stand up for Olivia, for the time being, he can’t do anything.
