Divorced To Steal His Heart 78. Good News and Bad News
Ridiculous!Is Jessica desperate for us to have a child that she'd even harass this kid? What's wrong with her? Strolling upstairs, I wiped my face, hoping my frustration would go away.I've had enough drama for the day, and all I wanted was a long rest-No, I still have some documents to sign. I have to attend a video meeting later, and then, I'd have to look over the new company's infrastructure my assistant emailed me since last week.I never get rest even during weekends. Damn, if only I could take a long vacation. But the company is unstable now. The higher-ups are constantly butting heads. Just like finding Olivia, a vacation is a far-fetched dream. I paused in the middle of the stairs and brought out my phone which just rang.Seeing the hospital director’s name flashing on the screen, I answered the call and resumed walking.Hopefully, I'll hear good news this time. At least, one load should be lifted off my shoulders already. “Mr. Wellington, I have good news and bad ne

Jessica was just desperate for a child, that's all. Many times, she'd brought up the topic of having our own child even though I kept postponing the wedding. Her desperation was born from my mother's constant nagging who had been longing for a grandchild for many years now. “That's enough, Dave… Return that bag. Besides, I haven't found your parents yet.”Which will be my priority from now on. Thomas Sinclair had been apprehended.The doctor had already agreed to go to the Island,Most of my worries had decreased, and the only important task ahead was finding his parents. Otherwise,It's not only Jessica’s craziness I'm wary of. My mother could do something as crazy too.“I'm not staying in this place until Jessica leaves. And promise that she never comes back,” Dave grumbled, pursing his lips. It's not like I like Jessica's company. She must have left already in fact. So it's not something to worry about. Noticing the boy holding his stomach, I frowned a bit. “Hungry?”Dave re

…Jessica's POV.Great!Very good!That little brat is messing with the wrong person.I couldn't get him through that dumb servant who failed in her mission of making him fall off the stairs. I couldn't get him through those cupcakes too, otherwise, he might have already bid this world goodbye forever. For the first time, Theo shouted at me!Because of that annoying brat, he didn't hesitate to chase me away.Why should I believe Theo when he said Dave has his own parents?If he surely did, where are they?Where is that bitch Theo got pregnant five or six years ago? I don't need to wait for the lab results. I hated that boy at first sight and my instincts never lie! He's Theo's son indeed even without the DNA results. Damn! He resembled Theo so much, I was such a fool that I failed to notice it earlier.On our way to the hospital, I clung to the man, burying my head in his chest and crying as hard as I could.Theo was too quiet and impassive. He didn't even pat my back to calm me d

…Olivia's POVI couldn't possibly disagree with Dr. Davison anymore after this tempting offer he'd just made.He's quite influential in L.A and has connections in the government.If he can help me find my son in just three days, then I'll have to risk this chance… Yet, following the medical crew to the Island…I'm not hesitant about helping Grandpa Victor,I don't distrust Dr. Davison either, fearing that he would go back on his promise… Yet, Dr. Davison has assured me that Theo will never step foot on that Island. How sure is he?What if Theo was just lying?If he could take immediate actions against those who tried to kill Grandpa Victor, it meant he cared for the old man even if it was a bit. Theo has promised now that he won't come,What if later on he barged in and found me on the Island?Inside the hospital ward, I sat beside Grandpa Victor's bed, contemplating the odds. Now in a vegetative state, the old man doesn't require any intense treatment. If it's just to protect his

…Theo's POV Grandpa is awake!That's impossible, right?The hospital director has never cracked such a ridiculous joke.Maybe it's a prank…Or maybe- well, this is a miracle! My heart jolted with happiness, my nerves racing. Despite finding it weird that the old man would wake up soon, the happiness in my heart knew no bounds.I can't wait to see him… I can't wait to share the news with-I paused in my thoughts, glancing at the boy who sat across from me and minding his business.Ever since the event that happened yesterday with Jessica, he'd been extra cold towards me.Wondering what I can do to make him happy, I wonder if this good news will help. Clearing my throat, I announced, “Dave, my grandfather is out of the coma.”“Good for you,” Dave murmured, focusing on his food.His response was colder than I expected. Neither did he look up to glance at me or express any emotions.Sigh!“I'm sorry about what happened yesterday,” I said after a few seconds. “I shouldn't have shoute

Worry crept inside me as the Butler came forward and took Dave's hand. Grandpa is a grumpy old man. I've never seen him interact with kids before. Wouldn't it be awkward? Dave is a grumpy little boy as well who seems to have a passionate dislike for adults. What if he said something that could irk the old man off? No! I have to stop this.As the Butler led the boy to Grandpa's bed, it was too late for me to stop them.Grandpa suddenly sat up and picked Dave up to sit beside him.Very interesting.The old man could be this agile as well. How cunning!I wasn't over my initial surprise yet when Grandpa shocked me again.For the first time in many years, I saw the old man smile brightly. He cupped Dave's cheeks in his palms, giving him a doting look. “What an adorable little boy. Indeed, you have inherited the best genes. Tell Grandpa how Theo has been treating you.”“He's just so-so.” Dave put on a pouty look, acting spoiled in the old man's presence. “Forget about Theo, are you ge

…Olivia's POV What a close call! I returned to the hotel suite, feeling some of the heavy weight lifted off my shoulders.For whatever the reason was for Grandpa Victor to quit his act, I'm so grateful.Imagine following the medical crew to the Island and wasting my time. Imagine counting all my hopes on Dr. Davison alone. Grandpa Victor decided to put up such a cunning act. For what reason, though?Was it as the nurses speculated?Was it to fish out his enemies?It seemed to have worked as Thomas Sinclair and his allies just happened to reveal their true colors while the old man was in a coma- or should I say faking it! “Damn that idiot! He has let his guard down!”Bonnie barged into the suite, looking happier than I'd ever remembered.What more good news do I have to hear?I just hope this day ends up the way it has started.“Didn't I tell you to trust your only bestie, Olivia?” Bonnie stopped in front of me, beaming with pride. “I just managed to catch the fish by its tail.

What surprise? I was about to ask, wondering what Grandpa was up to again when he switched it to a video call.Suddenly, on the screen, a familiar face popped up!“Hi, Mom!”I staggered in disbelief, almost tripping on my feet, the shock so overwhelming that I couldn't react for some seconds.“D- Dave…”Am I dreaming?Is this really my Son I'm staring at?Oh, I have to be hallucinating!“Silly boy, you've got your mother worried.” Grandpa Victor pinched his cheek, chuckling. “What are you doing in L.A.?”Pursing his lips, Dave replied, “It doesn't matter for now why I came. I'm very sorry, Mommy.”Tears of joy dropped from my eyes. Wiping them off, I tried to get a clear view of him. Finally, all the anxiety and devastation were no more and the only feelings left in my heart were happiness and bliss. “Oh, Dave, you're safe. How did Grandpa find you!?”Did the old man have superpowers?Wait,Did Grandpa find him way before he got into the act of falling into a coma? “Don't give me

I turned around, nodding to his question.Reading the seriousness on his face, I could guess he wanted to discuss an important topic.“I'm all ears,” I said and sat on the bed. Ethan sat beside me. “Are you sure about this, Olivia? Me acting with you as a couple…”I looked down. Well, I hadn't thought much into it.That day, at the hospital, I jumped into the act when Dave addressed Ethan that way. I didn't think whether Ethan was comfortable with it or not, and I continued with the act whenever Theo was present at the scene. “Sorry for dragging you into this…” I looked up, reading his expression for any signs of discomfort.But Ethan smiled at me. “Why do you apologize? I'm not complaining. I just thought maybe that-”“Theo will see through our lies?” I completed his words, convinced that's what he wanted to say. Well, that's something else. I don't want Theo to know that I'm putting on this act all because of him. I have no problem with spiting him by acting like a couple wit

Was she cursed to spill every secret?I never knew the Nanny could be such a blabbermouth.I'd tried to hide this from Prof. Joanne as best as I could while upstairs in order not to increase her stress levels.The old woman had gone through enough shock for today, right?That's it.“You can leave now, Maya. Please don't find us until I call you.”“Ah, why not, Ms. Lawson?” Maya let go of the old woman and rushed to me. “I thought you had forgiven me already. Isn't that why you asked me to stay?”I only sent her inside, detecting that she could spill the truth in Theo’s presence after seeing her reaction when Dave called Ethan his Dad.Walking to the couch, I picked up my bag and brought out some cash. “Here's money for a taxi. And if Theo Wellington finds you and asks you anything, please don't spill a word.”Maya lowered her head, a look of realization flashing in her eyes.Nodding obediently, she apologized, “I'm sorry for every inconvenience I've caused you, Ms. Lawson- I truly am.

I cursed inside, tossed my phone aside, and rushed out.Damn! I shouldn't overlook this, knowing that Theo would try to take Dave away, I should have kept him beside me.On leaving the house, I found the man's car parked outside the small fenced gates and he's trying to make Dave sit in it.It wasn't only Theo convincing my son to get inside the car, but also the Nanny who I've just turned away.“Come on, Dave… Nanny will be you with, and Mr. Wellington is your Daddy. Don't be scared, Sweetie… we'll be back in a jiffy.”“Let go of me!” Dave shouted. “He's a bad guy.”“Hehe- I know it's sad that he accidentally made Grandma Joanne faint. Well, if he was a bad guy, you wouldn't have followed him to L.A., right? You knew all this time that he was your Daddy-”“You!” I stopped running, staring at the Nanny speechlessly. Seeing how hard she's trying to convince Dave to enter the car while Theo held the car's door open, the cunning man must have promised her something.“What do you think y
Divorced To Steal His Heart 115. Brainwash Him
A Few Minutes Later I was lucky to bring Prof. Joanne back to her senses.The old woman was too weak to sit down, so I made her rest on her bed.“I thought you considered me your family, Olivia. Why did you hide this secret from me?” She complained. “Did you think that I wouldn't stand up for you because you're hiding from someone so powerful?”Shaking my head, I sighed. That wasn't my reason.In all these years, I didn't discuss Theo with her because I didn't like even the mention of his name.I'd lied to Prof. Joanne that Dave's father was someone insignificant and not worth mentioning because that's how I'd regarded Theo in my heart.“I'm so sorry, Professor. If I knew Theo would barge in on us-”“I understand…” The woman patted my hand and smiled weakly. “Now I know the reason behind your sudden visit. But you can't run from problems, Dear. Or they'll keep piling up.”Well, what do I do now?All thanks to the Nanny, Theo has found us. He has finally seen Dave, one of my worst f
Divorced To Steal His Heart 114. Stay Behind
Olivia's POV This neighborhood is so serene and secure, unlike the apartment building downtown buzzing with the activities of people.I should consider buying a house around here and moving here.This way, nobody could barge in or come here announced. “Why do you need a house when your time here is almost over, Dear?” Prof. Joanne asked me as we went through some research papers together.Well, I can't believe how fast time flies.It's five years already and the project will soon be over. “Actually, I'm considering staying behind…” I revealed. “I like it here in Geneva, Professor. I think I've adapted to life here.”“Uhm, that's strange.” The woman gave me an inquisitive look as if she didn't quite believe me. “Don't you miss your family in the U.S.? I thought you were planning to move back there. Unless you've changed your mind.”“Y- Yeah…” I smiled and picked up the teacup in front of me, sipping on it. “Dreams can take a person anywhere, right?”Prof. Joanne nodded in agreement

Vanished?Likely story.Why am I not surprised?After giving me the fake sample, Olivia would definitely try to evade me by running away with my son.I sighed and ended the call.Now what?Geneva is not like L.A., and I can't guarantee that I'll find her easily.Where do I start looking?Yet again, I had another sleepless night. My time in Geneva isn't as I've planned at all.I'd thought after hearing that I'd canceled the wedding with Jessica, Olivia would be touched.I'd thought that she'd feel free and tell me the truth. But it's more difficult than I'd imagined.In the morning, despite my exhaustion, I left for the apartment building to see it for myself.True to the investigator’s words, Olivia was gone and her apartment was locked. What to do next?I'd never been this confused or clueless. If only I could get a single hint.Who could help me in this situation?I sat on the stairwell, thinking for a long time.Then an idea lit up in my head.Although I was not very sure it woul

…Theo's POV I'm not so dumb.When I asked for the sample, knowing there was no way Olivia would allow me to see Dave, I expected her to say no and insist I left.But then, she agreed and instantly brought me a sample.I'm not a fool to believe her. But I have to change strategies.Approaching Olivia directly or pleading and showing her my desperation won't get me what I want.She's hellbent on denying me access to Dave.I never knew she could be so stubborn. “Mr. Wellington, here is all the information you asked for.” The private investigator’s voice dragged my attention. Not only were they written information,There were also some photos attached to the file. “Five years ago, Dr. Lawson came to Geneva, following a professor for an important project. A few months later after she came, she gave birth to a boy.”As the investigator narrated the story, my heart stirred with a complex emotion, seeing Dave's photo when he was an infant. Olivia was sitting on a hospital bed, looking

“Olivia-”“Please leave, Theo Wellington.” I cupped my palms together, giving him a hopeless look.The man's desperation scared me.The more he pushed, the more anxious I became.Never would I imagine a scenario whereby my son could be snatched from me someday.And Theo Wellington is capable of that.His eyes are on Dave now, and he'll do anything to take him away. “I've already told you that he's mine and Ethan's son. Just leave us alone, Theo!”I pleaded in a desperate tone, hopeful he would heed my request.But he stared at me as if I was the one torturing him. “Stop doing this, Olivia. Both you and I know Dave is our son. I don't remember you to be a dishonest person.”When did he start trusting me?Who cares if he thinks I'm honest or not?I'd rather be dishonest than let go of my happiness.I'll be selfish in all sense if it comes to ensuring my son's safety. “Allow me to do a DNA test,” Theo added. “Once the result comes out, I'll naturally leave if Dave is not my son.”But he
Divorced To Steal His Heart 110. Obsessed
Olivia's POV Unless that kidnapper was invincible, he would not be so brave to step into the apartment building in daylight.He couldn't bypass the security or even had the guts to knock.When Nanny Maya ran back inside with that frightful expression, I already had an inkling who that kidnapper was. Despite that, I hoped it was not him. It shouldn't be Theo. My warning yesterday should be enough to make him back off.“Ms. Lawson, it's- It's that man.” Maya was literally shaking like a leaf as she spoke incoherently.Sighing, I took her hand, heading back in the same direction.Dave is in his room, and I don't want this to alert him.Peeking through the hole in the door confirmed my suspicion.Theo is here!“Do you know him, Ms. Lawson?”I nodded to the Nanny's question to stop her from panicking further. “B- But how?” Maya exclaimed. “Who's he? They took Dave away the other time.”I couldn't possibly explain everything to the Nanny, especially exposing Theo’s identity.So I reass
