All Chapters of Divorced To Steal His Heart : Chapter 271 - Chapter 280

Dave walked into the kitchen, obviously displeased by Mom’s words. The boy didn’t hide his anger as he spoke, “Theo might have been horrible in the past, but he’s doing his best to become a good person. Even Mommy has already– I mean, he deserves a second chance.”My heart dropped.I nearly passed out from shock, listening to Dave almost expose me.He was about to say ‘Even I have already forgiven Theo,’ thankfully, he remembered my warning before we came here. Mom dropped the knife, her lips parting in shock. She stared at me. “Why’s he defending that heartless man? Olivia, have they met already? You didn’t take my grandson to that family, did you?”Whether Dave exposed my relationship with Theo or not, I was already in trouble.Mom grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the kitchen, straight to her room. She locked the door, probably to make sure Dave didn’t walk in on us. Then she stood before me with both hands resting on her waist. The furious storm in her eyes had me shrinking a

…Olivia’s POV.Strangely, Mom neither discussed Theo again nor pestered me about the answers she’d insisted I give her. She no longer cared to know about how Theo and his family came to know about Dave. Instead, not a day went by without her asking me about Ethan. It had been over a week now.Nobody ever discussed Theo again. Dave would only speak about him in Mom’s absence. The phone calls had become too frequent, and they would spend a very long time, speaking on the phone. I got curious one morning and couldn’t stop myself from asking what exactly they were discussing during the phone calls.“Nothing serious. Theo just needed my help with solving the company’s crises,” Dave replied. “Together, we’re fishing out the bad eggs.”“Huh?”I seriously don’t get what he was saying. How was that possible through phone calls? By the way, what kind of contribution was Dave making?“Your phone should be fully charged by now. I have some tips to give Theo. Can I go and take it?”Again?He’s

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

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

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
