Mr. Brian Wants to Get Married Every Day - Chapter 38 - Support
Olivia was a little surprised. She did not expect Brian to have the same thoughts as her. Initially, she had also planned to send Joey to the orphanage. However, when she had seen how pitiful Joey was, she could not bear to let him go. That was why she wanted to adopt him.
“If he doesn’t do anything, let’s get him back.”
Brian took in the little anticipation in Olivia’s eyes. He was actually a little jealous of a child. She had never looked at him like that before, yet an unimportant child had received such generous treatment.
Brian hugged the woman’s waist and gave her a hard bite on her mouth.
Feeling the pain, Olivia pushed this strange man away. She did not know how she had provoked him again, but he suddenly bit her.
Olivia covered her mouth and glared at Brian before going downstairs.

Brian made a call to an orphanage that he was familiar with before slowly walking down the stairs. He sat on the sofa and looked at the boy carefully. He did have a handsome face, but compared to his unborn child, Joey was far inferior.
After all, he was so outstanding, and his genes were top-notch. These were just Brian’s thoughts. He laughed out loud as he thought about it.
He definitely couldn’t let Olivia know what he was thinking. If she knew, wouldn’t she mock him? How could he give that eloquent woman a chance?
“Let’s go. I’ve already contacted them. Let’s send him over now.”
Although Joey was mentally prepared, he still couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable when he heard that she was going to send him off. This feeling of being abandoned wasn’t good at all, but what could he do?
Although Joey was young, he was already very mature. Uncle Ford’s heart felt empty upon seeing that the boy was about to be sent away. He hurriedly returned to his room and took out some money and candies to hand to the boy.
“Be obedient there. If anyone bullies you, remember to call me. I’ll visit you often too.”
The boy felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity toward this old man. He nodded with tears in his eyes and waved goodbye to Uncle Ford.
Joey didn’t say a word in the car. He just silently watched as the villa gradually disappeared from his sight. Only when he couldn’t see anything did he turn his head and stare in front.
“Joey, don’t think too much. If you’re not doing well there, look for me. I’ll protect you, got it?”
Joey nodded. She had no obligation to provide for him. Saving him from that environment was already a great favor. How could he ask for more?
At that moment, Olivia felt a little guilty. When she saw Joey’s happiness turn into disappointment, her mood also fluctuated greatly. However, she couldn’t tell him that it was because of his father, right? She could only make him feel wronged first.
When they arrived at the orphanage, Joey was surprisingly calm. After hearing what had happened to him, the director expressed her sympathy. Since her boss had made the request, she happily took over this child.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of him.”
Olivia held Joey’s hand, her eyes filled with worry and love. “You have to listen to the director here and study well, understand?”
Joey nodded. Olivia’s hands were very delicate and smooth. He felt an inexplicable sense of security and couldn’t help but believe in her.
“Miss, is it true that you said you would visit me often? Will you just leave me here like everyone else?” Joey couldn’t help but ask. He felt reluctant to part with her.
Olivia was stunned. Joey’s question was unexpected, and she hadn’t expected him to ask such a question. No matter what, he was still a child, and his thoughts were pure.
Olivia hooked Joey’s finger with her little finger. “I will come and visit you often. I promise.”
Only then did Joey smile happily. Olivia handed the tiny hand in her palm to the director.
“Please take good care of him. This child is very obedient and sensible.”
The director smiled and replied, “Our orphanage takes good care of the children, so you can rest assured about this. Furthermore, he was brought here personally by you and my boss. How could I dare to neglect him?”
Although she was trying to flatter Olivia, her heart was filled with disdain. After Brian and Olivia left, the director did not take good care of the kid as she had promised. Instead, she casually arranged a room for him, just like everyone else.
Joey looked at the unfamiliar environment, but it was much cleaner than his home. He had a room of his own and proper clothes. He could go to class every day and had a full meal and snacks.
It was better than being at home.
On the first day of class, Joey had just arrived at the classroom. Just as he was about to sit down for class, he realized that the stool had been moved. He couldn’t sit on the stool and fell to the ground.
As soon as the teacher, Chris, walked in, he noticed the children’s prank and remembered that the director had brought Joey. He walked over to Joey and helped him up.
“Why did you fall?”
Everyone thought that the boy would tell him that he had been bullied. They were so nervous that they wanted to admit it, but the boy’s words made them drop their jaws.
Joey glanced at everyone before saying to the teacher, “I didn’t get a good look at the stool just now, so I sat down on the ground directly. That’s why I fell.”
This made Chris very surprised. This reason was not sufficient. The atmosphere at that time was also very tense. How could it be an accident?
Nonetheless, since Joey had said so, it was not appropriate for him to get to the bottom of it.
Chris patted the dust off Joey’s butt and asked him to straighten the stool and prepare for class. After class, he called the boy to his office.
“It was obviously not an accident just now. You have me to back you up. What are you afraid of? Why didn’t you tell me that they bullied you?” Chris was very confused.
Joey looked at the withered tree in the distance and remained silent for a long time. When Chris was about to ask again, a young voice sounded. “Back me up? Can you back me up all the time? It’s just that you coincidentally bumped into me this time, and there will be many times where you can’t see me. Then, what should I do when you disappear? Continue to find you to back me up and accept their revenge?”
His tone was calm but mature.
“Perhaps they will feel that there is no point in playing pranks on me, so they will change their target. Why bother to act tough against them and keep repeating this?”
The boy’s tone was very sensible, and he did not sound like a child at all.
Chris had seen the scars on his body before, but he did not know what this child had gone through to become so mature and sensible.
“You don’t have to be so stubborn. You’re still a child.”
Joey suddenly looked up and said, “Child? Does society care whether you’re a child or not? Do people give in to you because you’re a child? No, it’s precisely because the child isn’t a threat that they’ll be more overbearing toward you.”
Chris felt that he was not as clear-minded as a child and instantly did not know what to say.
