I turned around, nodding to his question.

Reading the seriousness on his face, I could guess he wanted to discuss an important topic.

“I'm all ears,” I said and sat on the bed.

Ethan sat beside me. “Are you sure about this, Olivia? Me acting with you as a couple…”

I looked down.

Well, I hadn't thought much into it.

That day, at the hospital, I jumped into the act when Dave addressed Ethan that way.

I didn't think whether Ethan was comfortable with it or not, and I continued with the act whenever Theo was present at the scene.

“Sorry for dragging you into this…” I looked up, reading his expression for any signs of discomfort.

But Ethan smiled at me. “Why do you apologize? I'm not complaining. I just thought maybe that-”

“Theo will see through our lies?” I completed his words, convinced that's what he wanted to say.

Well, that's something else.

I don't want Theo to know that I'm putting on this act all because of him.

I have no problem with spiting him by acting like a couple wit

    Grandpa sounded disappointed. I couldn’t understand his words for a moment until realization dawned on me.It’s not what I’m thinking, is it?“Grandpa, I don’t understand…” I asked, dreading his response. Grandpa replied, “What do you mean, Dear? Didn’t you take him home with you from the hospital last night? The driver I sent him with couldn’t find him, and one of the nurses in charge said that he left with you.”“Dave didn’t leave the hospital with me!” I quickly shook my head, instantly regretting agreeing to Dr. Davison’s proposal.I hope nothing bad has happened to him.He was supposed to have gone home with the driver last night. Grandpa also said he would send him with a bodyguard. How could he escape their sight?What exactly happened last night?“Then does that mean my great-grandson has gone missing!?” Grandpa sounded enraged. “I know you were busy, Olivia, but you should have looked for him in the hospital. Maybe he got lost while trying to find your office.”Dave wouldn’t

    I sat on the bed with my hand still on my chest. The constant heartbeat didn’t cease until some moments later.“Olivia…” Ethan’s mother’s voice sounded again, reminding me that she was still there. This time, she didn’t knock but opened the door and walked in. “Is everything alright, Dear? What happened? You look scared…”Do I?I shouldn’t be this afraid, as it was only a dream. But dreaming about marrying Theo again was more of a nightmare. “I’m fine, Mom…” I assured her, forcing a smile. “It was just a bad dream. Nothing serious.”“Are you sure?” The woman sat on the bed and reached out to touch my forehead. In the cold weather, I was sweating profusely. She dropped her hand and then sighed and shook her head. “It’s all Ethan’s fault. If he hadn’t had the emergency last night and stayed beside you, you wouldn’t have experienced the nightmare.”“Don’t worry, Mom. I’m not complaining…” I took her hand. “Besides, if Ethan doesn’t work hard, how are we gonna survive?”“He has his gra

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    206. Her Apprehension

    Ethan and I looked at each other, and I quickly shook my head. “If we had a kid, it would be impossible to hide it from you guys.”The woman didn’t look convinced, though. She smiled and resumed eating, throwing compliments at the food now and then. The most awkward moment came after dinner.Ethan and I were supposed to share the same room. The guest room was very close to my room, so there’s no escaping his mother’s scrutiny. But Ethan came up with the perfect plan, which I hadn’t even thought about. After we were done eating, his phone rang as we did the dishes in the kitchen. He was on the call for a few seconds before he hung up and said, “Guys, I’ve got an emergency. One of my patients needs immediate attention.”“Is it terrible?” I pretended to be worried and quickly wiped my hands clean. “Do you need my help?”“I can handle it,” Ethan reassured. His mother came forward, looking more worried. “Do you have to go to the hospital now? There should be other doctors, right?”“The

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    205. Had A Kid

    I was setting the dishes on the dining table when I heard the doorbell ring. This is it.There’s no turning back.I breathed in deeply and plastered a smile on my face, and then went and opened the door. Ethan stood in front of me with his Mom, a slender middle-aged woman whose entire appearance screamed fashion.The wrinkles on her face were barely visible. She must have paid very good attention to her skin, because her face was literally glowing.The heels she wore matched her burgundy handbag, and her dress wasn’t tight but managed to outline her figure. I would have thought Ethan was playing a prank on me by bringing his sister instead of his Mom, but she was present at our graduation. Although it has been long, I could still vividly recall her remarkable features. The woman was engrossed in assessing the apartment’s exterior. Even when I opened the door, she didn’t notice me on time.There was a tiny frown on her face as she complained, “You don’t live in this shabby place, d

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    204. Her Dilemma

    The shock must have been written all over my face as Ethan looked more apologetic. “I wasn’t looking forward to her visit as well. I’d thought-”He’d thought that he could buy himself time. After lying to his parents that we’re already married, he would finally take me to them when we get married for real.But nobody can outsmart parents, no matter how old they are. His mother must have suspected him, and that’s why she came without telling him.Ethan sighed and squeezed my hand reassuringly as if urging me to help him out. “This is gonna be a huge task. I only hope that you can help me cover it up.”It’s no big deal compared to the kinds of help he’d offered me in the past. Besides, a lot of people already believe that we’re a couple, so it’s gonna be a piece of cake.“Are we living in my apartment or yours?” I asked, signaling that I’d agreed. “I bet your Mom will insist on staying with us.”Relief washed over his face. Ethan’s face broke into a smile, and he gave me a grateful lo

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    203. Pressuring Him

    Dr. Davison was literally begging me on his knees, urging me to bring him fast. Although a bit uncomfortable, I had no choice but to call Grandpa’s phone. He wasn’t nearby, and it was the Butler who answered the call.“Hello, Young Miss. How are you doing today? I bet you want to speak with the little master; however, he’s busy right now playing chess with the old master.”Oh, is that so?That means I can’t disturb them. “Well, if it’s urgent, I can take the phone to them. Just hang on…” The Butler said, and moments later, I heard Grandpa’s voice.“Olivia, my dear. Did you personally enroll my great-grandson in a chess lesson? He’s very good. I am considering signing him up for a competition.”I’ve never seen Dave play chess before. He shouldn’t be that perfect. Grandpa might just be exaggerating. I was still on the phone while going to my office, and I took my time to explain the situation to him.“Are you sure, Olivia? I mean, it’s a good initiative, and I’ll be very proud if my
