Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1955: Summer Hall Side Story (157)
Thinking about how his mother firmly rejected him yesterday, leaving no room for negotiation, Thomas felt even more anger in his heart.
Olivia detected the resentment and helplessness in Thomas’s eyes, knowing that he wasn’t able to make decisions in the Smith Family now, feeling inevitably disappointed.
"Second brother, can you help me with something?"
"What do you need help with, just tell me."
Olivia lowered her head, biting her lip, seeming a bit hesitant to speak.
"Olivia, whatever you need, just tell second brother, I’ll definitely help you."
Seeing Olivia nod gratefully, she hesitated for a moment before saying:
"I know, on Helen’s birthday, Mom and Dad definitely won’t let me in. They’re worried I’ll ruin the birthday party for her..."
As she spoke, the grievance and sadness in her eyes intensified, her voice noticeably nasal.
"But, second brother, I really miss them. Every night since being kicked out, I dream about us being together, happily eating, celebrating, and having birthdays. Every time I wake up and realize I’m all alone, I just... just..."
As she spoke, two lines of clear tears slid down her cheeks.
Looking at Olivia in this state, Thomas felt his heart ache immensely.
He patted her back to comfort her, saying: 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Olivia, don’t be like this. Seeing you like this, second brother feels terribly pained. If you need anything, just say it. Whatever second brother can do for you, I’ll definitely make it happen."
Olivia saw the emotions had been stirred enough, then seemingly reluctantly allowed a smile to form at the corner of her mouth, wiping away the tears at her eye corner, she said:
"Thank you, second brother. I want... I want, on Helen’s birthday, can you let me come? I... I don’t need to be a guest, just a server handing out drinks is fine."
Seeing Thomas slightly frowning, she continued energetically:
"I know, on Helen’s birthday, Mom and Dad definitely invited a lot of guests, so they’ll need many servers to entertain them. Second brother, can you get me a spot, please?"
She looked at Thomas pleadingly, shaking his arm, saying:
"Second brother, I really miss Mom and Dad and big brother. They usually don’t want to see me at all, I just want to use this chance to see them from afar, that’s all I ask, just to see them."
She became more urgent, worrying that Thomas might misunderstand her, she raised three fingers as a pledge, promising:
"Second brother, I promise I won’t cause trouble at the banquet, nor will I give you any trouble, I..."
"Okay, Olivia, how could second brother worry you’d give me trouble."
Looking at Olivia anxious to explain, Thomas felt even more heartache.
Comparing her willingness to be aggrieved just to see family even briefly, to his parents and brother unhesitatingly kicking her out.
The comparison showed how cold-hearted and ruthless his parents were.
He frowned looking at Olivia, his face showing all the heartache, "Second brother just thinks it’s too much humiliation for you."
He pursed his lips, pondering for a moment before saying:
"How about this, you don’t need to be a server. When the time comes, second brother will bring you directly into the venue. I refuse to believe anyone would dare block us."
What Olivia wanted was exactly what Thomas said. Now, hearing him propose it, she felt a burst of joy but showed worry and difficulty on her face, saying:
"Won’t this cause trouble for you, second brother?"
