Female Novel
Chapter 199
“Uncle Declan and I are very close. We have been good since I was young. The clearest memory Ihave was that every time he returned from Capitalis to Irieson, the first thing he did was to come andvisit me. Every time, he would bring me lots of food and clothes. It was the same even when he cameto the Northpine Villa last time. Over the years, he still remembered my favorite snacks. He is someonethat my father and grandpa cannot compare to.”
“However, his daughter is terrible. It was she who stole Grandpa’s favorite thing and sold it for money,but she blamed it on me. Grandpa and everyone else believed her and not me. However, as long asUncle Declan is at home, he would stand up for me.”
“I can ignore anyone in the entire Pearson Family except Uncle Declan.”
As Olivia spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. She was indeed quite pitiful. The whole family, includingher father and grandfather, treated her as a tool. They were devoid of any emotions. If there wasanyone who genuinely treated her as family, it was Declan.
Declan truly treated Olivia and Ophelie well. He genuinely liked this pair of sisters, especially Olivia.
After hearing this, Thomas nodded. It seemed that he couldn’t kill Declan. He couldn’t kill Yukine aswell. He didn’t have a good impression of this scheming woman, but he spared her life only becauseshe was Declan’s daughter, and Olivia was close to Declan.
Gavin, on the other hand, wasn’t as lucky as them. He had to die!
Previously, Quincy had sent him information about Gavin’s location. Once he had the time, he would goand end that b*stard’s life! It was too kind of him to leave Gavin disabled in the past. If he had knownthat this day would come, he would have killed Gavin back then!
During the two previous visits to the Pearson Family, Thomas didn’t see Gavin. As a disabled person,he should have stayed at home obediently. Where could he have gone?
It seemed that Terrence spared no expense for his grandson. Not only did he find someone to healGavin’s broken bones, but he also restored Gavin to normal. There was no doubt that he had wasted alot of precious resources.
Thomas became extremely angry at the thought of this. Gavin’s injuries back then were much moresevere than Olivia’s, yet Terrence spared no expense to heal him. But when it came to Olivia’s life anddeath, Terrence turned a blind eye and allowed her to suffer on her sickbed without any concern!
How can you do that as a grandfather? Is it just because Gavin is a boy but Olivia is a girl? Terrence,you deserve to die. It was perfectly correct to have you killed!!
After the two returned to the villa, Olivia asked, “Thomas, are you hungry?”
Thomas shook his head. “I’m fine.”
“All right. I’ll go take a shower then. It’ll be quick, and after that, I’ll cook.” She felt uncomfortable. Shewas a slight germophobe and couldn’t stand having sweat on her.
“You go ahead and take a shower. I’ll do the cooking.”
“No!” Olivia refused instantly. “Cooking for you is what I should do. How can I let you do it? You justwait there. I’ll cook for you in twenty minutes.”
In her heart, she had long regarded Thomas as her man. She was a traditional woman of Droycore.Cooking and doing laundry for her man were her duties. How could she let her man do such things?
He looked at the domineering Olivia and couldn’t help but smile wryly. He could only sit on the sofahelplessly and wait for her to prepare dinner.
Sure enough, after a short time, she hurriedly returned. Her hair was still damp as she ran out withoutdrying her hair to ensure that he wouldn’t go hungry.
“There’s no need to be in such a hurry. You should dry your hair properly, so you don’t catch a cold.” Hequickly picked up a clean towel and wiped the water droplets off her hair.
She gave him a sweet smile. She felt that at this moment, she was the happiest woman in the world.
These peaceful days wouldn’t last long. The day of the tribute was approaching, and the Six GreatestFamilies of Irieson would surely come knocking to get him. A great battle was inevitable.
Just after Thomas finished dinner, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call fromChloe.
“Hey, Chloe. What’s up?”novelbin
Just the thought of Chloe made Thomas feel particularly guilty. She had almost been violated beforeand was frightened. It was evident from the fact that she hadn’t started working at Keyshire Propertyyet. As her older brother, he couldn’t be by her side to comfort and protect her. He truly felt inadequatein his role as a brother.
“Thomas, do you remember Lester, the manager of Twilight Bar?”
“Yeah, I do.”
“Well, he’s getting married tomorrow and he invited me to attend the wedding. He specificallymentioned that he hopes I can bring you along. Thomas, can you… accompany me tomorrow?”
Thomas wouldn’t refuse Chloe’s request. Moreover, he knew that Lester had been taking good care ofher. It was his big day, and it was only appropriate for Thomas to express his gratitude.
“Sure. I’ll come to get you tomorrow morning.”
Chloe had mentioned this during their shopping trip that day. Thomas still remembered it. She hadeven asked him to dress handsomely. On that day, Chloe had bought him five to six sets of clotheswhich ranged from casual wear to sportswear to suits.
“Okay!” Chloe hung up the phone and sat alone on the sofa while staring into space. She was lost inthought.
“Silly child. You’re thinking of Zach, aren’t you?”
At some point, Adam had come to the living room and looked at Chloe as he asked her.
In a few more days, it would be Zachary’s birthday. Chloe shared a deep bond with her brother, so itwas natural for her to think of him and miss him.
Chloe nodded and threw herself into her father’s arms while silently shedding tears.
“Dad, do you think Zachary knows that we’re doing well now? Thomas took such good care of us.Zachary should be happy if he knew, right?”
Adam let out a bitter smile. “Thomas and Zach are the best of brothers. Zach must know. He’s lucky tohave a friend like Thomas.”
“Dad, I miss Zachary. It’s been several years since I last saw him. Sometimes I dream about him andwonder how he’s doing in the military. Is he eating well? Is he in any danger? Has he gained or lostweight?”
After Adam heard this, his eyes welled up with tears. How could he not miss his son?
“Don’t cry. Your brother is defending our country, and he is our pride. When he comes back after hismilitary service, you’ll find out if he’s gained weight or not.”
