Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1956: Summer Hall Side Story (158)

"It’s okay, don’t worry, you haven’t done anything wrong. What reason will they have to make things difficult for you?"

Thomas Smith was furious when talking about this.

"You were just a baby back then. It was their mistake to switch the children. How can they blame you for it? If they hadn’t swapped the babies, you would have stayed with your own parents instead of experiencing this separation."

Listening to Thomas’s words, Olivia Smith was deeply moved.

"Second brother, you’re so kind to me."

Saying this, she flashed a charming smile at Thomas, which made him momentarily stunned.

Olivia noticed Thomas’s unwavering gaze on her, the emotions in his eyes were raw and candid.

She had encountered such looks before.

After all, she was once the Smith Family’s eldest daughter, and although not as beautiful as other members, she was quite attractive. Many men pursued her, and such glances were nothing new.

Olivia instantly understood the affection hidden in Thomas’s eyes.

A touch of shock crossed her heart, but was quickly replaced by a delight.

If Thomas only had sibling affection towards her, this feeling would eventually fade away with time as he got married and started a family.

Especially if the wife he marries in the future objects to her—his sister without any blood relation—causing Thomas to eventually distance himself from her.

But now, Thomas clearly harbored a different kind of affection for her.

Particularly, since they weren’t together every day, this longing and unattainable desire would only make Thomas’s feelings for her grow stronger.

With this new mindset, as she looked at Thomas again, she saw many aspects she hadn’t paid attention to before.

He’s wholeheartedly devoted to scientific research, which subconsciously makes people think of him as a homebody, introverted, and not social.

The usual image is that of someone with a mushroom haircut, black-rimmed glasses, wearing plaid shirts, seeming quite unfashionable.

Olivia never paid attention to his appearance because Thomas was her brother, but now that she was paying attention, she realized he was very handsome.

As a member of the Smith Family, Thomas’s looks were top-notch even among a crowd.

Moreover, the Smith Family had a dedicated stylist, so even if Thomas didn’t dress up, his stylist would ensure his clothes and hairstyle made him stand out in any setting.

However, because there are so many dazzling people around him, especially with a brother like Edward Smith nearby, he might easily be overlooked.

Besides his looks, being the second young master of the Smith Family added to his allure.

Not to mention, he’s a scientist; even if he’s down on his luck, with his intelligence, he wouldn’t lack money.

The more Olivia looked at Thomas, the more she felt he was a perfect husband material.

More suitable than Edward, who’s cold and detached.

She once thought that a man like Edward, who was emotionless towards everyone, would never provide happiness to whoever marries him.

But Thomas was different; though he didn’t utter sweet words, he was a considerate man.

At the very least, he was always protecting her and choosing to stand by her side.

Thinking of this, Olivia was even more satisfied with Thomas.
