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    285. Her Conditions

    “Uhmm, Mom…” I butted in. “Actually, Theo and I… We’re just– We’re just starting over. Is it necessary to–”“Stop trying to stand up for him. Even if you beg, I won’t give you guys my blessing easily.” Mom cut me off. “And don’t be naive. This is for your own good as well. If he doesn’t prove to me how much he deserves you, forget about gaining my approval.”My helplessness increased. I stared at Theo, signaling him to do something. But while I’m worrying about saving his damn ass, he ignored me and dived right into Mom’s trap.“She’s right, My Love. I should prove to my Mother-in-law how much I deserve you.” He smiled, his eyes glinting with mischief. Urgh! Seriously, I just want to punch him in the face.“I’m not your Mother-in-law yet!” Mom snapped. “First of all, you have to gain my approval before addressing me that way. And if you fail, promise you’ll leave my daughter alone if I ask you to.”“I won’t fail–”“Just promise me!”Theo sighed resignedly. “I promise if I fail, I’ll

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    284. Prove His Sincerity

    “That’s enough, Grandma.” Dave stepped between us, spreading his arms to shield me from the woman. “It’s not a crime to love someone. Since Theo has turned a new leaf, and Mommy has decided to love him again, that’s her own business, isn’t it?”“You!” Mom pointed at him. “What do you know about love? With your young and impressionable mind, I believe you don’t know what your mother is even doing.”“I’m sorry if I’ve come at the wrong moment, Mrs. Barton.” Theo came forward and took my hand, squeezing it gently. “I regret how I treated your daughter in the past, and I’m truly sorry. You can take out your anger on me, but please leave Olivia alone.”“You!” The woman’s face turned red. She was literally jumping in fury. “Fine! Don’t move from that spot. I’ll surely take out my anger on you. You’re heartless and shameless. Don’t you feel guilty for tricking my daughter again?”Mom was so ready to take out her anger on Theo. She grabbed the frying pan from the floor, about to attack him wi

  • 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
