Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 2029. Summer Hall Extra Story (231)

Even though the two of you are no longer related by blood, in the eyes of others, you’ve been siblings for thirty years. How long has it been since, and now you’re walking out hand in hand, isn’t this inviting gossip?

The butler thought to himself while walking out.

Thomas Smith stood outside the door quietly waiting, Olivia leaned closely against Thomas, deliberately pressing herself against him.

The early spring night wasn’t warm, and with the strong wind tonight, standing there for a long time really felt a bit cold.

Thomas felt Olivia drawing close to his arms, so he reached out to shield her, feeling her body freezing from standing in the cold wind for so long. Thinking of his family enjoying the warmth in their mansion filled with heating, a sense of imbalance rose in Thomas’s heart.

He was a part of this family too, the second Young Master of the Smith Family, why did he have to freeze outside? 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Was it wrong to bring the woman he loved home to meet his parents?

Why did he have to wait for a report and permission like an outsider to enter?

The more Thomas thought, the angrier he became. Seeing that the butler who went in to report had not yet come out, the flame in Thomas’s heart became fiercer because of the shivering body in his arms.

"Forget it, Olivia, let’s not wait."

He brought his beloved woman home to meet his parents out of respect for them and wanted to notify them.

But seeing their current attitude, it seemed they didn’t need him to tell them anything.

Olivia managed to get close to Thomas because she wanted him to take her back to the Smith Family. If she couldn’t be the eldest young lady, she would be the second Young Miss of the Smith Family.

After all, the whole family is rich and powerful, just a change of identity.

Besides, the second Young Miss is a true member of the Smith Family; once the Smith family’s eldest young lady marries out, she is no longer part of the Smith family.

Olivia held onto this thought and instigated Thomas to bring her back to meet his parents.

She had even thought it through, no matter how they humiliated her, she would endure it silently.

As long as Thomas protected her, the more the Smiths humiliated her, the more determined Thomas would be to shield her.

Her position in the Smith family would become more stable in the future.

Therefore, upon hearing that Thomas was about to leave in frustration, Olivia quickly pulled him back, earnestly saying:

"Second brother, we’re here already, have some patience. We’re here to apologize, after all, we need to show some sincerity."

However, Thomas dismissed Olivia’s words lightly, "We did nothing wrong, why should we apologize? Isn’t it just because Helen Melendy manipulated Mom and Dad that they’re treating us like this?"

Olivia didn’t deny what Thomas said; instead, she pursed her lips, looked troubled, and lowered her head, saying:

"Second brother, there’s no point in digging into who’s right or wrong now. I just hope our family can be together peacefully without any more conflicts. Let bygones be bygones, okay?"

She was anxious, her eyes turned red, and her voice became choked with emotion.

"Second brother, listen to me, if you leave without a word this time, they will definitely blame me and think I was the one who drove a wedge between us."

She sobbed slightly, saying, "Second brother, no matter that I’m not a Smith child, that’s my original sin. Whether I was a baby or an adult, I swapped identities with your sister and lived the life meant for her, that’s the original sin. No matter what I say, it’s wrong, do you understand?"

The heavy feelings of grievance and helplessness in her voice made Thomas’s heart twist with pain.
