Lahat ng Kabanata ng Divorced To Steal His Heart : Kabanata 151 - Kabanata 160

… Theo’s POV.I acted too quickly.Maybe if I’d waited for two days, three days, or even a week, she would be begging me on her knees and agree to all of my conditions.However, I couldn’t bear a minute of witnessing my son hate me. I thought negotiating with her would make things easy for both of us, but Olivia is as stubborn as always.I sighed, struggling to focus on driving.I tried not to let anger control me, yet I found myself racing the car down the city, bypassing the traffic rules.My phone rang, and I glanced at it.Seeing Jake’s name on the screen, I ignored it. Knowing the kind of person my assistant is, he might provoke me further, and that could cost him his job.I felt so irritated at the moment that I slammed the steering wheel, honking the car loudly as it got stuck in traffic. But my phone kept on ringing. I didn’t care to glance at it until I made up my mind to fire the dumb guy. However, when I glanced at the screen, a different name flashed on it.Grandpa.Fi

… Olivia’s POV.I thought I had a dream that Theo came back last night.He took me out of that scary place and got me back home.He even told the servants to help me get changed, and then I was put to rest on an enormous bed which was as soft as a pile of feathers.I slept so soundly and was awakened only by the bright morning sun streaming through the curtains.Sitting up, I realized it wasn’t a dream at all.I pinched myself to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating. But glancing around the familiar-looking place, I realized that it was the reality in fact. How, though?What changed his mind?Didn’t he promise to send me to jail forever?I’d almost believed that I would never get to see Dave again, and it was the grief from that heartbreak that had weakened me, forcing me to fall asleep due to fatigue.I rubbed the remnants of sleep off my eyes and shifted on the bed. I hadn’t stepped down yet when a soft knock came from the door, and someone opened it slightly and stepped in.“Oh, you

“This way, you can both focus on work without distractions.” His grandfather added. “Because of this matter, you’ve neglected your responsibilities, Theo, and I get reports daily that the company is falling behind…”“And, Olivia…” He turned to me. “Ever since this issue started, have you been able to concentrate on work?”I shook my head and answered honestly, “No, Grandpa.”Because of it, I wasn’t able to accept more patients like before.I was always distracted, and my mind was constantly filled with the same thoughts. “That’s the major disadvantage…” Grandpa sighed. “If we prolong this issue further, I fear you both might forget your purpose in life soon and keep on fighting over your son. Before you realize the dangers, it might already be too late.”I nodded in agreement.Although I’d been apprehensive about Theo’s appearance again, I never thought handling him would be out of my control.I’d convinced myself that I could handle it, unfortunately, no!“The solution is simple,” G

I froze.Despite not being surprised to see Jessica here, her appearance awakened the fears I’d just let go of. But I trust Grandpa to keep his word.Jessica turned in our direction, and her lips parted for a second. Her eyes widened as if surprised to see me.Then her expression dimmed.I’d planned to ignore her and ask Ethan to let go, however, Jessica approached us. “Oh, well, what a splendid evening full of so many surprises, Olivia…” She smiled, revealing all her teeth. “I mean… Who could have ever thought that we’d meet again? It’s been so many years, after all.”I guess she’d forgotten about the hospital scene when she barged into the ward that time while Theo’s grandfather was sick.Or maybe she didn’t see me that day as I’d guessed.Jessica’s smile was fake. Even a child wouldn’t be fooled by it.She reached out to shake my hand, but I left her hand hanging mid-air. “Oh, Olivia… Don’t tell me you still hold past grudges…” She chortled. “I heard keeping a grudge makes one a

‘You’re not Mrs. Wellington.’I was about to remind her that, but remembered the doctor’s words.The last thing I wanted was Jessica going berserk right here, or rumors could spread from the mansion to the world. Anyway, I don’t want Grandpa to have another reason to scold me this morning.Besides, I’d only acknowledged Jessica as my wife because Olivia and her husband were present, and I wouldn’t let them have the satisfaction of rubbing their stupid romance on my face. “Honey-”“That’s enough, Jessica.” I stopped her, lest she irritate me further and make me lose control. “What are you doing here?” I changed the topic.Jessica released my arm and sighed heavily.She rubbed the tears off her eyes, smearing her heavy make-up in the process. Olivia’s fingersprint were still red on her cheek, and the sight of it softened my mood.“I’ve come to check on your Mom. I do that every day.” She sniffled. “She fell sick, didn’t you know? Jake told us you went on a business trip, but you never
