Divorced To Steal His Heart 224. The Only Way
I shouldn’t be standing here sulking.I should look for that evil man and give him a piece of my mind.Theo needs to know that the world doesn’t revolve around him. No matter what he does, it won’t make me go back to him. Ethan hadn’t done him any wrong. How could he go to this extent to hurt him? How could he be so heartless?Didn’t Alisha say that he personally gave her my things?He must still be in the hospital and probably is with his mother right now. I hadn’t taken three steps yet, and my phone rang. The Butler’s name flashed on the screen.I answered the call and resumed walking towards the elevator. “Young Miss, I hope you’re not busy. I can call you later.”From the looks of it, the Butler wants to tell me something important. He has never called me suddenly before. “What’s the matter?” I entered the elevator and tapped the number buttons. “Is Dave alright? How’s Grandpa?”“They’re both fine…” The Butler replied. “Actually, there’s a secret I should share with you. You’

My heart sank. How much longer? If only I knew the answer to his question. If only someone would assure me that my heart would soon be free again.It’s as if I’m no longer in possession of it– As if I no longer had any control over it. His eyes were calm, but desperation lurked underneath. His hands trembled while holding mine, and the helplessness in his tone brought grief to my heart. “What are you saying?” I forced a smile and squeezed his hand gently. “You already have my heart, Ethan.”His eyes didn’t light up as they would whenever I said something that would please him.They remained calm– too calm.“Action speaks louder than words, Olivia…” He sighed. “Will you be able to prove it? Will you say yes if I ask if you love me?”This isn’t the time to hesitate.Ethan might be hiding his emotions, but he’s deeply troubled by what’s going on. His demotion and my hesitation. I could feel it. He’s growing tired. It is high time I let us take the next step in our relationship. Wait
Divorced To Steal His Heart 222. Give Him Her Heart
Gloom engulfed my heart as I thought of so many possibilities. If I fail in stopping Grandpa, will I end up like Maya?It’s no wonder she’s never on good terms with the old man. I thought that Grandpa never approved of her.Who would have thought that Theo’s grandfather once treated Maya the way he’s treating me now?“Have you heard?”“Another hot topic? Spill it!”I walked into two nurses inside the elevator, whispering words to each other. “Well, it is a hot topic as well as a devastating one…” The first nurse replied. “Can you believe it? The hospital management is changing the Head of Neurology Department, isn’t it unfair?”“That’s strange? Dr. Ethan recently got that position. He hasn’t made any mistakes so far. Isn’t he one of the best surgeons in this hospital?”“That’s the point. It sounds fishy, doesn’t it? This hospital is becoming something else.”Indeed, that’s fishy.If the nurse was telling the truth, then this hospital management is more crooked than I’d imagined.Eth

“Huh?” I furrowed my brows.What does that have to do with falling out of Grandpa’s favor?The Butler’s eyes darted around nervously as if what he was about to say next could land him in trouble. He lowered his voice and continued, “Actually, it happened many years ago at a moment like this. The Master was ready to send the young master abroad but that didn’t settle well with the Young Master’s mother. She begged him all day and then resorted to arguing, before her family got involved. That was the moment she fell out of the master’s favor and stopped being his favorite.”I blinked. Maya— Grandpa’s favorite?That was hard to believe. “You don’t think the Young Master’s father married her simply because they loved each other, do you?” The Butler chuckled. “That’s not how things work in this family, and you know that, Young Miss. The Master chose her for his son the same way he chose you for the Young Master. He has once doted on her as well.”That was a revelation. The hope inside m

But I won’t be fine once he leaves. I’ll never be fine to have my son grow up in a far-away land. He’ll only get to return once he finishes his studies.That will be many years later.Will he still recognize me? Won’t our bond become weaker as the years pass by?“Look at you… Who said you have to work hard to make Mommy happy? Just staying beside me is enough, Dave?” I pinched his cheeks playfully while holding back my tears. “Theo won’t stop bullying you,” He replied, still adamant on his decision. “If I don’t become strong and more successful than him, how will I be able to protect you? It’s just a few years. I’ll be back before you know it.”Funny how the roles have been reversed. He’s supposed to be the one sad about Theo’s grandfather’s decision.Dave is too calm. Too composed for his own good. He’s just a kid and doesn’t know what awaits him in that foreign land. Hadn’t those people molded Theo into the cold and ruthless business man he’s today?“Baby, I will speak with grea
Divorced To Steal His Heart 219. His Silence
The Next Morning. The clicking of utensils against each other was the only sound in the dining room.Neither Ethan nor I spoke a word.Tension hung in the air. An awkward one. I couldn’t bring myself to look in his direction, guilt overwhelming me. Last night, I shouldn’t have pulled away.It was a reflex- my body reacting before I had a chance to speak. Ethan’s attempt to kiss me might be a test to know if what I’d said was true- If I was comfortable having him around.My heart sank, and I sighed, picking at my food. I’m in no mood to eat anything, but I have to force it down. Ethan’s Mom won’t like it if I refuse to eat the food she prepared.“What’s wrong with you guys? Why’re you both quiet?” She broke the silence.I looked up. My eyes met his, but I couldn’t hold his gaze for a second and had to quickly look away. “We had a long night, Mom…” I replied. “We’re both exhausted.”“Really?” His mother threw us both an incredulous look. “It’s good, but don’t overwork yourself.
