Divorced To Steal His Heart 283. Chaos
Kind of. If Mom goes inside and sees him, won’t her blood pressure shoot up again?Why’s he here for goodness’ sake? I’ve warned him never to come. Theo was even brave enough to go inside the house. Is he tired of living?“Mom, wait…”I tried to stop the woman, but she was already curious. The incredulous look she gave me and the way her eyes narrowed further were a sign that nothing I’d say would convince her. In fact, she’ll only get more suspicious.Sigh! This is it.Mom no longer needed my support. Pushing me aside as if afraid I would pull her away, she quickened her footsteps and knocked on the door. I followed behind her, dread hugging my heart. What now? More chaos? Honestly, I’m not ready for it. Mom knocked once. Luckily, it was Dave who came to open the door. “Who did you bring to the house? Why’s there a flashy car outside?” She asked. Dave’s eyes traveled towards me, and then he looked at Mom, the nervousness in his gaze obvious. “Grandma, I promised you I would take
Divorced To Steal His Heart 282. Cover The Expenses
Chaos erupted.The sales girls screamed, attracting the attention of more passersby. For a moment, I was lost at what to do, my hands trembling as I held Mom to stop her body from hitting the ground. A quick first-aid didn’t work to revive her. I had to take her to the nearby clinic where they administered injections and drips.In just a few hours, Mom seemed to have aged more. She sat on the bed with the drip still on her hand, her eyes dazed and lost. “Mom…” Unable to form any words to comfort her with, I held her hand gently. Mentioning what happened just now might not be a good idea. She’d had a high BP, and reminding her of the dilemma might worsen it. “Tomorrow… tomorrow’s the wedding,” she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. “What am I gonna tell them? How can I cover all the expenses and repair the damages?”“Mom, stop thinking about that.” I sighed. “I’ve explained everything to them. They’ll understand. As for the money, I’ll shoulder the responsibility.”“No…” M
Divorced To Steal His Heart 281. The Fire
Inviting Theo over was definitely a no. I had to remind Dave that Theo was busy and couldn’t come down here. It was disheartening to see him sad over this issue. It only increased my guilt, forcing me to question everything. Dave is growing attached to Theo. That’s not even a question anymore. Is it something I should worry about?If Theo and I eventually tell him the truth, how’s he going to react to it? Will he take back his words and follow Grandpa’s wish?Just a few more weeks… I reassured myself. The moment this vacation is over and I return to the city and enroll him in a school once the schools resume, he’ll stop thinking about going abroad. Things were pretty normal for the next several days. Mom became busy with the orders, she rarely had time to pester me. Or probably, she was keeping her promise of not nagging me about any guys again. As more orders came flooding in, even I was occupied recently and boredom only came once in a while. “This is the last batch. You guys
Divorced To Steal His Heart 280. Invite Him Over
I yelped, and the phone dropped from my hand.I had no time to process the shock. Scrambling down the bed, I shoved my feet into my slippers and darted outside. Mom was in the living room. If she looked through the window, even a furtive glance would do, she would definitely see Theo.My heart pounded as I raced past her, wondering if that man was crazy. How could he come back when I’d already warned him last night? I even begged him not to return. “What’s up with you? Where are you rushing to?” Mom called out, but I couldn’t pause or waste a second. I grabbed the door and stepped outside…No car. No Theo.Oh my goodness! Staggering in relief, I patted my chest, panting heavily to catch my breath. That’s a relief. So that heartless man even knows how to play pranks now.“What were you looking for, Dear? You scared me when you ran outside just now. Hope everything’s alright with you.” As I returned to the house, Mom came up to me and asked.What am I supposed to tell her? Urgh! What
Divorced To Steal His Heart 279. Put Her In Trouble
As I spoke, my eyes kept darting to the house. Honestly, my Mom could come out at any moment.Theo’s hold on my waist loosened a bit, causing me to sigh inside in relief. Yet, my heart was troubled by the deep sadness reflecting in his eyes.“You’re torturing me, Olivia.”But I couldn’t take back my words, defying my own logic. Should I lie that I love him when I don’t?“Just give up…” I sighed. “I’m not the only woman on earth.”“But you’re the only woman I want.” He pursed his lips. “With or without our son, I’ll still chase after you. You’re the most amazing woman I’ve ever met.”I can’t let his sugar-coated words affect me. Won’t fall for the same cliche words that every man says to the woman they want.“My love for you is real, why can’t you let go of your fears?” He added. “I’m deeply regretful of my past actions, Olivia. Please give me a chance.”Why does he keep begging me? Hasn’t he realized by now that begging is futile?I looked down, my eyes falling on his chest. His shirt
Divorced To Steal His Heart 278. Mean What She Said
My heart had jolted in happiness and anticipation when the phone rang. But now, it sank deeper than before. The fact that the line connected once means he’s aware. How many weeks has it been? When will he finally stop ignoring me?[Please answer my calls, Ethan. I’m sorry for what I did. I shouldn’t have hidden anything from you. Believe me, I’ll explain.]I sent him a text, adding to the pile of text messages I’d sent before. As usual, no response. The message showed ‘delivered’ meaning he didn’t block my line. He’s probably seeing my text messages. I added another. [Do you even love me?]I didn’t wait for his reply or anticipate it. I dropped the phone and turned off the lights. But sleep never came.For more than an hour, I remained in the same position, staring at the ceiling while Mom’s statements echoed in my ears. She’s only mad because she cares. She doesn’t hate me. She doesn’t hate Dave either. The kind of life Mom lived with Dad makes her think that everyone else will b
