‘You’re not Mrs. Wellington.’

I was about to remind her that, but remembered the doctor’s words.

The last thing I wanted was Jessica going berserk right here, or rumors could spread from the mansion to the world. Anyway, I don’t want Grandpa to have another reason to scold me this morning.

Besides, I’d only acknowledged Jessica as my wife because Olivia and her husband were present, and I wouldn’t let them have the satisfaction of rubbing their stupid romance on my face.

“Honey-”

“That’s enough, Jessica.” I stopped her, lest she irritate me further and make me lose control. “What are you doing here?” I changed the topic.

Jessica released my arm and sighed heavily.

She rubbed the tears off her eyes, smearing her heavy make-up in the process.

Olivia’s fingersprint were still red on her cheek, and the sight of it softened my mood.

“I’ve come to check on your Mom. I do that every day.” She sniffled. “She fell sick, didn’t you know? Jake told us you went on a business trip, but you never

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    202. A Special Program

    Olivia’s POV.Speak about changing his ways and finally giving me peace. Theo won’t change, will he? Otherwise, is he really coming from the Males’ Washroom?That’s too hard to believe.But, for the first time, Theo wasn’t willing to have a conversation with me. He even evaded me the moment Jessica’s phone call came in. To think that he addressed me as Ms. Barton instead of calling my name as he usually does…Well, isn’t that exactly what I’ve always wanted to cut ties with him completely? I shouldn’t be mulling over it. Letting go of those thoughts, I resumed walking and entered Dr. Davison’s office. “Dr. Olivia, I hope I didn’t interrupt your work.” Dr. Davison stood anxiously as if he’d been anticipating my arrival. “Please have a seat. There’s something urgent we need to discuss.”I couldn’t hide my confusion as I sat hesitantly.Although Dr. Davison was smiling, he was obviously nervous.What’s wrong with him?Honestly, my mind still tells me that this has something to do with

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    201. Take Her Own Life

    Will she agree to do that?Considering her relationship with my mother, I doubt so.Besides, I’ve already promised myself that I won’t speak to her anymore.“Young Master, are you still there?” The Butler asked, worried by my lack of response.I snapped to the present.That’s impossible. Olivia won’t agree to do that.“Isn’t there another way?”Even I can’t think of any other solution. I wonder if the Butler can.“Hmmm, I understand your plight, Young Master. But that’s the only way to go about this matter. The Young Miss is a kindhearted woman. I know she’ll understand.”The Butler phrased it wrong.Olivia was a kindhearted woman, but not anymore. She’s especially stubborn when it comes to our son. I ended the call and resumed walking to the elevator. Initially, I’d planned to leave the hospital and go back to the company,But if I can get Olivia to convince Dave to agree to come with me to the hospital, it will be a win for me. That way, I’ll also be able to be with my son.Howeve

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    200. Convince Them

    To distract her, I changed the topic. As I expected, Mom wasn’t aware of the news yet. Tania must have kept it from her, probably because she wasn’t taking the matter seriously. “Oh, finally!” Mom smiled. “When did it happen? Who decided it? I hope it’s not your grandfather.”“What if I told you it’s Grandpa?” I asked. “He’s not going to make a bad decision for her, you know.”My mother shook her head.She waited for a few seconds before speaking as if controlling her emotions. “If it is your grandfather, I won’t agree, Son…”Then she breathed in deeply. “I’m afraid that the same thing that happened with you and Olivia will repeat. Didn’t your grandfather force you to marry that girl? The only good thing that came from her was giving birth to my grandson. Thank goodness she was not crazy enough to flush out the baby.”Olivia would never do that!I’d also considered that when I realized that she was pregnant before she left. Recalling the diagnosis result I found in her apartment fiv

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    199. Reminiscing

    What kind of a fool would buy that?Even I, despite my strong sense of self-control, can’t resist staring at Olivia whenever she’s in the room, talk more of Mike, whose emotions are always on display. “I’ve warned you not to mess with her,” I reminded him. “If it’s Olivia you want, fine, we can cancel the wedding-”“What are you saying, Buddy!” Mike exclaimed. “Come on! You know I couldn’t control it. I mean, a man has to be stupid not to notice such beauty. Can you cut me some slack? Can you tell your sister to trust me for once?” He pressed his palms together. “Time is running out, please. You can see how hard I’m trying to win her heart.”“What’s the point in telling me?” I grumbled, my mind still on the subtle smile on Olivia’s face before she walked out.It’s as if she was aware of the kind of effect she had on Mike. Probably, I as well, and she was reveling in it.Olivia is not that kind of woman. Strangely, I still cannot get rid of my jealousy. As Mike stood in front of me,

    “Stop it.” Tania blushed, nudging him. “I definitely I’m not the only beautiful girl in your eyes. You’re only bluffing.”“Says who, Babe? Right now, you’re the only woman I see. The rest of the women’s beauty can be combined, and you’ll still be more beautiful.”I frowned, wondering if they even considered my presence. “Can you both stop acting like kids? Put that away, Mike.”“Why, Big Bro? They’ll only stay for a while,” Tania whined. “As soon as Mom wakes up, we’ll put them away.”Does that make sense?What if she wakes up now and the sight of it aggravates her?“Besides, these types of flowers are expensive,” She pouted. “We can’t just discard them…”“Brother-in-law, she’s correct. How can you as my buddy want me to put the flowers away? What if it makes my woman unhappy?”I slapped my forehead. Tania should have stopped Mike when he hung this nonsense. I wonder if she was the same person traumatized yesterday when Mom almost died. Bantering with the two was a waste of time. I

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    197. The Wedding Preparation

    …Theo’s POV.Staying out of Olivia’s way was probably the best option, although what she and Grandpa did to me was unfair. She might not be holding a grudge against my family as I’d expected. Otherwise, why would she step in to save Mom’s life at that critical moment?Why didn’t she decline my order to treat Mom from now on. Sometimes, she behaves like the most heartless person, and sometimes, she is very confusing. As I leaned on my swivel chair, lost in my thoughts, Jake entered the office. “Good afternoon, Mr. Wellington. Here are the files you asked for.”He dropped some documents on my desk. Picking them up, I flipped through the pages. “Will this be enough? Have you spoken with all of them?”From the event decorators to the caterers and everything that concerned the wedding, the responsibility is on me to make sure everything is perfect. Mom would have been the one taking care of the wedding preparation, and Tania is too young to shoulder all those responsibilities.I defi
