Theo's POV

I woke up with a splitting headache, the things that happened last night blurred in my memory.

I was taking Jessica home, and then, we stopped at the Villa, and then… what happened next?

As I searched my brain for how exactly I ended up on the master bedroom’s bed, a soft voice sounded from beside me. “Darling, you're awake.”

Jessica?

Glancing sideways, I found her sleeping next to me.

She isn't in the same clothes as last night. She wore something else… a night dress, almost half naked.

I sat up instinctively, holding my forehead.

Last night, Jessica and I… That's impossible.

“What happened?” Frowning, I can only turn to her for answers as I still can't recall clearly.

“Oh, Theo… Don’t you remember?” Jessica shifted close, leaning in to hug me.

Remember what?

My frown deepened and I found myself pushing her away.

For some reason, seeing Jessica naked brought a feeling of discomfort. In fact, the sight irritated me.

Pushing the bedsheet away, I left the bed and put o

  • 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

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    277. Ignoring Her

    Hearing him say the word ‘abroad’ was enough to wake up my anxiety.Reassuring him wasn’t enough, I fiddled with my phone while stuttering, “I wasn’t scolding your Daddy. It was a joke. We were joking about something.”His tiny brows furrowed. He wasn’t convinced. The phone rang. Damn! Why isn’t he answering it?My fingers trembled as I placed the phone to my ear, wondering why the hell he was taking too long to answer. At the last ring, he answered the call. “Hey–”“My Love, what’s up?” I laughed. “Can you believe our baby thinks we’re arguing? I’ve told you to stop bringing up those kinds of jokes, and now you’ve made Dave misunderstand. Anyway, I’ve missed you again. I really do.”He must be drinking something, because next to my words was his rapid cough. It lasted for at least one minute. “Are you alright, My Love? I’m so sorry, were you eating? Did I interrupt anything important?”“Am I dreaming, Olivia?” Theo’s voice was filled with disbelief. “Is something wrong? Hope you’r

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    276. Love Him

    Urgh! Dammit!The words flew out of my mouth before I could hold them back. Realizing I’d just ranted about something insignificant, I slapped my forehead in embarrassment. Theo was silent for a few seconds, probably taken aback by my sudden outburst. “I- I meant…” No. I should hang up. No need to clarify what I’d just said, because honestly, I can’t find any lie to back it up with.Theo chuckled. Before I could get the chance to end the call, his voice interrupted. “Oh, I get it now. You’re jealous.”“Haha!” Rolling my eyes, I snickered. “You’re thinking too far–”“You miss me too,” He added, not letting me finish my words. “Alright. I’m sorry. It was my mistake for always asking about Dave. How have you been, My Love? Let’s chat for a while.”“Ridiculous!” I scoffed and ended the call. In his dreams. Why would I ever miss him?I sighed and rested on the bed, staring at the ceiling blankly. Honestly, I miss L.A., but not that heartless man. I miss work. I miss the buzz of the city

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    275. Miss Her

    Thirty minutes later, our meeting with Mrs. Wilson was over. In Mr. Wilson’s absence, she handled the jobs, making it easy to recruit some workers through her. “Oh, goodness! This girl! Olivia, I have a feeling that you did that intentionally.” Mom wouldn’t stop grumbling on our way back to the flower shop. In fact, her mood had changed right from Mrs. Wilson’s place.Honestly, I can’t believe her. “You weren’t expecting me to pretend I don’t have a son, do you, Mom?”“So what? Are you not planning to settle down?” She asked. “You could do that later, but now you’ve ruined your chances of even meeting Mrs. Wilson’s son. Didn’t you see that woman’s expression? I’m pretty sure that she won’t recommend you to her son after what you’ve said.”I felt like laughing, but her words weren’t funny. I should have known that Mom had a different intention for asking me to accompany her to Mr. Wilson’s place.“Come on, Mom. I didn’t even say that I’m interested in Mrs. Wilson’s son. Can you stop
