All Chapters of Divorced To Steal His Heart : Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

“Olivia, Dear, what brought you again?” He asked. “I hope you’re not here to keep on trying to convince me.”In the old man’s eyes was anger and hesitation, clearly controlling himself not to snap. He must be thinking that I was on the verge of rebellion. His tone was nice, but the threat in it was obvious.“No, Grandpa…” I stood up with a smile, holding Dave’s hand. “I only came for an important thing. I want to take Dave to the hospital for a check-up.”The tension dispersed. Grandpa’s expression relaxed, and he chuckled. “Good! Because my great-grandson is already eager to go abroad. I won’t entertain any disruption to my plans. But why do you want to take him for a check-up all of a sudden? My great-grandson is very healthy.”“It’s normal, Grandpa,” I replied. “I always take him for a routine check-up once in a while. To ensure he doesn’t fall sick. Right, Dave?”Dave nodded. “Mommy hasn’t taken me for a check-up for a while. Can I go with her today, Great-grandpa?”The old man

Behind her furious look was a flicker of fright. And then pain, which might have long been buried many years ago. She wasn’t only mad at me. She was afraid that what happened with Theo might repeat. “Baby, can you wait for me in my office?” I pulled Dave away from her. Maya didn’t want to let go. “Why are you taking him away? You’re clearly another puppet that old man is using for his selfish reasons. Well, I won’t let my grandson become his puppet too!” Maya screamed. “He’s staying here with me! You’ll take him nowhere.”My eyes darted to the heart monitor once more.She could collapse if this continues. It’s not good for her fragile heart.“I won’t take him away, not anymore…” I freed Dave from her tight embrace, carefully. “In fact, I’ll bring him back later. Please just calm down.”“Grandma, you’re suffocating me,” Dave complained. “If Mommy asks me to come back, I will.”It was only after Dave’s statement that the woman finally released him. Yet, the longing in her eyes was o

How did she know?Who told her that Grandpa was sending Dave abroad? Was it one of the servants?Honestly, this matter is nothing to fret about. But just like Olivia, my Mom is overreacting. “Mom–”“Don’t tell me you can’t do it, and your grandfather’s decision is the best,” She interrupted me, as if reading my mind. “Son, I just want you to stop that greedy old man from having his way. Don’t let him dictate your son’s life like he did to you. You must put an end to it.”“Mom, I understand…” I couldn’t help but glance at the heart monitor now and then, fearing the hike in her emotions.Now I have to be very careful with whatever I say. Knowing my mother’s heart is weak, that person still went ahead to tell her this. Did they have a death wish?Grandpa built me. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. All he’s after is a great future for my son.But, Mom… She has always acted on impulse, driven by her emotions. Her clinginess would have limited my success if Gran

…Olivia’s POV.Theo’s mother’s involvement should accelerate our progress. He should have no other choice but to dissuade Grandpa, right?Hopefully.I sighed, my heart still troubled. I’m not even sure of the outcome yet, and the anxiety won’t go away. Theo might have promised his mother, but he still appeared hesitant.What if he found a way out of this? What if he’s able to turn down our request without taking his mother’s health into account?Because obviously, he’s more afraid of his grandfather than anyone else in this world. Does that mean I’ll have no other choice but to use my last resort?Spilling the secret will definitely cause a feud between him and his grandfather. It’s the last thing I ever want to happen. But, what if I’m left with no other choice?So far, Theo hadn’t acted yet. Maybe I should give him some time.As Ethan’s home came into view, my mind veered off the topic momentarily, yet my anxiety lingered underneath the grief arising. I’d just dropped Dave off a

I walked inside the building, lost for a moment in staring at the familiar walls. My heart beat with an unsteady rhythm, my fingers curling. I can do this. For Dave. When I entered the living room, Theo was already there, descending from the stairs. Each echo of his footstep sent shudders across my skin.“What’s your plan?” I folded my hands. Theo stopped walking in front of me, his smile widening. “The plan is simple. Live with me. Convince Grandpa that we’re back together so we can get our son’s custody. If Dave lives with us, Granpa’s decisions won’t have much influence on him.”“What if your grandfather insists?” I sat down, sighing.Why hadn’t I thought about that?Is coming here necessary when I’m not so confident about his plan yet?“He won’t.” Theo sat beside me. “I have a feeling that Grandpa will stop meddling once we both unite.”“That’s only your intuition…” I shifted, maintaining some distance from him. “What if the outcome is different?”What if his grandfather sees
