Although Grandpa hadn’t welcomed the idea of our divorce, he’d encouraged me to follow my heart at that time. He’d also scolded Theo.

“The Master is very happy, Young Miss…” The Butler chuckled. “You should have seen him smiling all day. I think you hold a special place in the Master’s heart, since your reunion has probed him to visit the Young Master, which wouldn’t have happened before.”

“Oh, I see…”

If only Grandpa’s love for me were genuine. He’d always made it clear that I was the perfect daughter-in-law.

He’s naturally happy that I’m back in the family again.

“Why do you sound unhappy, Young Miss?” The Butler must have sensed my discomfort. “You should be happy because this can pave the way for the Little Young Master’s return to your custody. He might not be sent abroad if you and the Young Master team up and disapprove it. Actually, this is perfect, Young Miss.”

I sighed inside.

It’s perfect because it has been planned.

Grandpa’s happiness scares me. This mission should end s

    …Olivia’s POV.Strangely, Mom neither discussed Theo again nor pestered me about the answers she’d insisted I give her. She no longer cared to know about how Theo and his family came to know about Dave. Instead, not a day went by without her asking me about Ethan. It had been over a week now.Nobody ever discussed Theo again. Dave would only speak about him in Mom’s absence. The phone calls had become too frequent, and they would spend a very long time, speaking on the phone. I got curious one morning and couldn’t stop myself from asking what exactly they were discussing during the phone calls.“Nothing serious. Theo just needed my help with solving the company’s crises,” Dave replied. “Together, we’re fishing out the bad eggs.”“Huh?”I seriously don’t get what he was saying. How was that possible through phone calls? By the way, what kind of contribution was Dave making?“Your phone should be fully charged by now. I have some tips to give Theo. Can I go and take it?”Again?He’s

    “Her whole world used to revolve around him. She literally forgot who she was!” Mom continued. “It was heartbreaking to watch my own daughter lose herself for a man. Thank goodness it wasn’t too late when her eyes finally opened.”Mom isn’t supposed to be having this kind of conversation with Dave. However, the boy appeared unusually calm as he listened to her.If it were in the past, he would get moody and sad whenever someone mentioned what my married life with Theo was like.“You should have seen how desperate Theo is right now, Grandma,” Dave replied. “I bet he’s also suffering from the same hurt he’d caused my Mommy. That’s fair enough. No need to be mad at him anymore.”“Huh?” Mom only happened to hear a single word. “Desperate? What do you mean by he’s desperate, boy?”She shoved everything aside, and the vegetables ended up inside the sink. Oh, goodness! I have to get Dave away from the woman before my whole world turns upside down. The further this conversation goes, the ea

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    272. The Truth

    Dave walked into the kitchen, obviously displeased by Mom’s words. The boy didn’t hide his anger as he spoke, “Theo might have been horrible in the past, but he’s doing his best to become a good person. Even Mommy has already– I mean, he deserves a second chance.”My heart dropped.I nearly passed out from shock, listening to Dave almost expose me.He was about to say ‘Even I have already forgiven Theo,’ thankfully, he remembered my warning before we came here. Mom dropped the knife, her lips parting in shock. She stared at me. “Why’s he defending that heartless man? Olivia, have they met already? You didn’t take my grandson to that family, did you?”Whether Dave exposed my relationship with Theo or not, I was already in trouble.Mom grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the kitchen, straight to her room. She locked the door, probably to make sure Dave didn’t walk in on us. Then she stood before me with both hands resting on her waist. The furious storm in her eyes had me shrinking a

    …Olivia's POVClosing my eyes, I let out a relieved sigh.It’s all over now. At least, for now. But no need to dwell on Theo’s words and his endless questions.The moment the plane took off from Los Angeles, it felt as if a huge load had been lifted off my shoulders.I’m running… not from Theo, but from what I could become.His constant confession and relentless pursuit. If he persists, I won't be sure what will happen next. Or if I’ll be able to maintain my resolve.A few weeks away is just what I need. To regain my comfort. To be myself again. “Will Theo join us once he recovers, Mommy?” Dave asked from the seat next to mine. I hope not. I’ve made Theo promise never to show up while we're away. If he suddenly shows up with us in front of my Mom, that will cause a lot of misunderstandings.“Can't say that. Remember he’s very busy, Baby,” I replied. “He promised to give us a phone call every day though.”Dave pursed his lips. He obviously doesn't like the idea that Theo won't be

    Stunned for a moment, my heart began racing. Those memories started consuming me again, and as if I’d lost control of my body, I couldn't move. “You!” He finally pulled away before I could pull myself together. For someone who’s injured, he surely moved fast.The kiss didn't last long, but its impact was enough to send my body shaking inside. This is strange… For a moment there after he pulled away, I almost felt disappointed. No!I snapped out of it, yet I found myself lost in the dark pool of his eyes. Silence.For several seconds, his hand remained on my waist, his gaze deeply fixed on mine. The spark was obvious, and my heartbeat and thoughts were in chaos.This… This isn't happening. This is the second time I’ve melted in his touch, or is it the third?Funny how I can't even get mad at him because right now I’m more angry with myself.“Stop denying it… I know you want this, Olivia.”His whispers sent shudders across my skin. I shook my head.That's impossible. There's no wa

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    269. Care About Him

    He'd better stop chasing after me. It’s never going to be possible between us and I’ve made it clear to him many times already.I can't easily forget the trauma and heartbreak. I can't overlook the fact that Jessica is in the picture. I can’t let go of Ethan yet.Although I supported Theo to the bedroom, I only did that fearing that Dave might walk out of his room all of a sudden.While he was in the bathroom, I checked out the closet to pick out a pajamas for him.To my surprise, female dresses and accessories have taken over half of the closet.They were all brand new with tags on them. Have they always been here?Did he buy them recently? Do they belong to Jessica?I paused while checking out one of the dresses. Jessica is skinnier and taller. This dress is exactly my size.“Argh!”The sound of someone groaning snapped me to the present.Theo!I picked out his pajamas and a nightwear for myself then hurried to the living room. But there was no one there. He was still in the bathroo
