Chapter 430 Ada's True Thoughts
Chapter 430 Ada's True Thoughts
"Is she? That's not what she likes to do, and it's a waste of her ability. She didn't even sign a contract with you. Besides, I just adopted Janetta as my sister. For the sake my husband, you should humour me, shouldn't you?"
After hearing this, Janetta was stunned. She was adopted as Olive's sister? Thinking she had heard it wrong, she looked at Olive incredulously.
Olive smiled, and gave her a reassuring look. Kent sensed her calculations and turned to Alan, "Are you going to look on?"
"I think it's a pretty good idea." Alan smiled, and patted his shoulder with his palm. "At least, it's much more relaxing for Janetta to work with my wife than to work with you."
"Are you still my good buddy?" Kent despised him, "What a henpecked man."
It was a shame for men to be called henpecked men. But he didn't think so, "The joy of being a henpecked man is something you can't enjoy now."
After Kent and Janetta left, Olive cleaned up a room for Ada.
Ada wiped her wet hair, walked out of the bathroom barefoot, stood behind her, and said, "Olive, thank you."
Olive looked back at her, smiled and continued making the bed, "No worries, it's just making bed, not a big deal."
"I mean, thank you for giving my brother a happy life. He missed for a year since our father died, and he has never laughed so heartily since he came back. So, whether my mom agrees or not, you and my brother should be together firmly. I will support you." Ada turned to her, sat on the bed and made a cheering gesture to her.
This gesture was of great significance to Olive. Another member of the Hoyle family accepted her from the bottom of her heart. She couldn't help but smile, "If I don't insist on being together with him, your brother's efforts will be in vain, won't it?"
From the moment she made up her mind, she never thought about giving up. Although the road ahead was long, it was not without hope.
She had one more ally.
She didn't know how Mrs. Hoyle would feel when she realized she was already isolated and helpless. In fact, she would like to be friends with her, and they didn't have to be close. She would be filial to her.
"My mother is a very stubborn old lady. She must have caused you trouble." Ada could guess the tricks her mom would use, but they were nothing new.
Olive smiled faintly, "It's okay! I know she is worried about her son. Many people want their children to have a well-matched marriage."
"Come on!" Ada said disapprovingly, "She is not one of those people. She is just prejudiced against people she doesn't like and loves breaking up affectionate couples. My first love and I were broken up by her with tricks."
"Huh?" Olive was surprised slightly. She didn't expect her to have such a story.
So, none of the romantic partners of the three siblings were accepted by Mrs. Hoyle.
Ada threw away her towel and flipped her hair, "You are surprised?"
"Yeah, a bit." Olive nodded honestly.
Ada sighed slightly, lowered her head and laughed helplessly and somewhat mockingly.
"My mother always hopes that I would marry someone who can help the Hoyle Group. It is the so- called business-business marriage or the official-business marriage. Every time I return home, she is busy arranging blind dates for me and taking me to various banquets. She wants me to know the so- called business and political elites in her eyes. Those people are indeed well-dressed and elegant in front of others, but their private lives are discreet."
"Doesn't your mom take these into consideration?" Olive asked.
"Sometimes I would think, does my mother really love me? Am I a chess piece in her hand? If she loves me, why does she keep introducing me to those men even if she knows they are not upright gentlemen? Over the years, I prefer working alone outside rather than taking money from my family. If there is nothing big, I would not stay at home for more than three days. After three days, I can’t stand it. My mom is in poor health and I can’t quarrel with her. Although, sometimes I really want to have a big fight with her and then run away from home. In the past two or three years, except for the period of her surgery, I didn’t go home much."
Olive sat next to her and didn't know how to comfort her. She took one of her hands and placed it in her palm and patted it gently, "Your brother actually wants you back. You are alone in a foreign country and there is no one taking care of you. He is very worried."
Ada said, "You know what? I actually hated my brother."
"Huh?" Olive was surprised. She always thought that the three siblings had a good relationship.
"My brother knew what my mother did to me, but he never tried to stop her. He just turned a blind eye to it. So for a long time, I hated him and hated him for being indifferent. I even cursed him. If one day he was also deeply in love with a woman, he would also be separated from her by my mom. Olive, I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to make you suffer all these years of separation."
Olive smiled and rubbed her hair, "Silly girl, this is not a fantasy world that would be affected by curses. Maybe, if I were you at the time, I would have the same thought. It was the past. Now your brother and you are on good terms. Was there any misunderstanding between you back then?"
She didn't want there to be any misunderstanding between the two siblings.
"Yes, there was. My boyfriend at that time had ulterior motives. My brother once warned me that, but I was blindfolded by love back then. I turned a deaf ear to his warning. Even after that man left me for money, I still didn't realize the truth. Two years later, I met that man again. After knowing some things, I realized how naive I was. It was my mom who gave him the money and asked him to leave. My mom did the right thing even though her way was not so decent. It is a blessing for my brother to have you. Not all men and women can withstand temptations and blows. So..."
Ada suddenly sobbed, hugged Olive, and then let her go, "You know what? You are my new idol. You're my hope for the future."
"What do you mean?"
"If you and my brother can convince my mom, I will not be separated from my boyfriend by her even though he is not from a wealthy family. Even if my mom still disagrees with us being together, I can argue with her confidently. Why are you only okay with my brother's marriage? You are partial..."
Ada actually wanted to say that if Annie was a boy, her mom would allow Annie to enter the Hoyle family even if she didn't accept you. She felt that her mom preferred boys to girls.
However, she didn't say it. She was afraid of upsetting Olive. This was not a very good topic.
Olive smiled, "It seems that I've got a lot of weight on my shoulders."
"It's okay, I'll stand with you against the old lady's oppression and crush Ophelia's wishful thinking." After a pause, Ada continued, "To be honest, Aoba and I both dislike Ophelia. I think she is very hypocritical. Before, because our two families were old family friends, I was somewhat courteous to her. Later, my mom tried enthusiastically to bring my brother and her together without his consent. Then I gloated and thought my brother had his retribution. Who told him to watch my mom separate me from my boyfriend indifferently. He deserved it..." NôvelDrama.Org content.
Olive was amused by Ada's joking tone. She was really an outspoken and humorous girl.
When Olive returned to the room, Alan had already told the bedtime story to their daughter and watched the fireflies fly in the dark room. After he coaxed Annie to sleep, he had a shower and then sat on the bed and read a book in English.
"What did you talk about?"
It seemed that women always had something to talk about. He was happy to see that his wife could get along with his family.
Everything developed as he expected.
Olive smiled and lay down beside him, resting her head on his chest, "I was trying to win favors."
Alan lowered his head and smelled the sweet fragrance in the tips of her hair, and his desire was stirred up again. He moved the corner of his mouth to her lips, and his warm breath pressed against her cheek, "Then, you did it?"
"Sure. But... Alas!" Olive sighed long, and fell to the bed, spreading her arms and legs, "Now only your mother still disagrees with our marriage. What should I do to change her mind?"
She didn't know that Alan had told his mother everything frankly. Although it was hard for her to accept it, and she still disagreed with their marriage, her view had begun to change.
It was just a matter of time. He wanted to give her a surprise.
