Divorced To Steal His Heart 82. Faking It!
…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

…Theo's POV Mum and Dad?I turned around, wondering if Dave was just joking or if his parents had really come,But then, I got the biggest shock of my life. The phone in my hand literally dropped and shattered on the floor, seeing the sight in front of me.Olivia!She's alive!She's here in person!Am I dreaming right now? Am I hallucinating?The fact that she also had on the same shocked look meant I wasn't. She's as surprised as I am, her face turning pale.So she's Dave's mother. How, where, and when?I just came back to the Ward to take Dave home with me.I'd been enraged about Jessica inciting the rumor about our marriage that I'd almost left the hospital without the boy. Then I returned to the ward and found him still conversing happily with Grandpa. And not long after I came in, the sounds of two footsteps rushed in.No way!My gaze strayed to the man standing beside Olivia. He looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I'd seen him before.Dave called them Mom and

“Grandpa-”“That's enough!” As I was about to ask more questions, the old man raised his hand. “Don't disturb me, Theo. It's not like we're on good terms.”Really?I thought he was only mad at me because of Olivia.Now that Olivia has returned, shouldn't the years-long grudge be gone?“Olivia is not the reason, is she?” I asked, hoping he would answer no. I can't bear the realization that Olivia’s disappearance hadn't been the problem all this while. What else could it be?Is it Jessica?I sighed and sat on the couch despite the signs that he didn't approve of my presence. These past few days when he was faking to be in a coma were one of the hardest in my life.I'd lived in constant fear of what could be if the Old Man died. Despite being mad that he'd been faking it, I couldn't help but feel relieved.“I won't marry Jessica if you don't want me to, Grandpa.”Going against his order once didn't end up well. I wanted to be independent, but that wasn't a strong enough reason to di
Huling Na-update : 2025-04-20Divorced To Steal His Heart 88. Leaving...
…Olivia's POV Spending another day in this city would mean a lot of trouble.I didn't need to ask so many questions to realize that Theo must have come in contact with Dave somehow.If not, why would he be in Grandpa's ward at the same time as Dave?Why would Dave personally bid him goodbye, thanking him for taking care of him? I watched my son, sound asleep in the chair next to me. Did he know Theo’s identity as his father?Was that why he followed him to Los Angeles? Whatever the truth was, it appeared I'd underestimated Dave. Despite that, he called Ethan his Dad in Theo’s presence. Why? “What's the matter, Mommy?” Dave woke up as if sensing my gaze.He rubbed his sleepy eyes, glancing around the plane.Almost all the passengers were asleep except me. Boarding the flight at 4. A.M. in the morning wouldn't have been my best option if I wasn't so desperate to leave L.A. as soon as possible.Visiting my parents could wait for another time.But I must get Dave away from Theo im

…Theo's POV What am I doing here?I probably should have stayed back and accepted the reality.It's not like we have anything to do with each other anymore. But my nerves are restless, and so is my heart. If I hadn't found out that she was leaving this city immediately, maybe I wouldn't have come. I shouldn't have if I knew I would be met with this sight.Sitting on the bench together, they indeed looked like a happy family of three. “Olivia, can we talk?” I spoke finally, breaking out of my reverie.I'd been so engrossed in staring at her, questioning this surreal feeling inside me. She glanced up, and for a few seconds, she appeared shocked. Then she stared at the man sitting beside her as if seeking his consent.Seeing that gesture awoke a bitter feeling of jealousy inside me. She was docile and obedient, following each of my commands.I can't believe she had to display those qualities to another man. Just when I thought she wouldn't come, she rose to her feet and approache

Divorced To Steal His Heart 99. What They'd Always Wanted
…Geneva, Switzerland Olivia's POV Hope Ethan is right this time.I can't help but get anxious after our phone call last night. His friend, who was supposed to do the transaction for us, suddenly decided to back out when he found out we were sending the money to Theo's account.As it turned out, Theo's influence doesn't only stop in the United States and nobody would dare mess with him. This shady transaction is definitely risky, and not even Ethan's loyal friend is willing to help us. “We'll find another way. I'm very sure of it,” Ethan assured me but my mind is still restless.Dave doesn't realize how much trouble he'd gotten us into as he still insists we use that money. “How about this, Mommy? I want to attend the best astronaut school in the world and you might not be able to afford it. Can we keep the money and use it later as my tuition fees?”“No!” I tried to remain calm, yet I still ended up pulling my air and groaning loudly. “Theo might come for us. Don't you underst
Divorced To Steal His Heart 98. Grandpa's Will
Did I hear the old man correctly?Why?How?“But, Master…” The Butler looked confused. “What about the Young Master’s future family? Jessica will surely give birth to an heir.”“That's my dumb grandson's business and not mine.” Grandpa Victor dismissed the Butler's name. And then he turned to the lawyer and continued, “This mansion… I, Victor Wellington, hereby declare that its ownership should be written in David Lawson’s name. He'll be the future patriarch of this family and not Theo Wellington.”Why is Grandpa doing this?It appears the old man is already writing his Will. Did he favor Olivia and her son that much? Would he disregard his own family members for them?Dave…David Lawson…Wait… why does that surname sound familiar?Lawson.Dr. Lawson.“Also write this down,” Grandpa Victor continued… “Olivia's son should inherit the Wellingtons' Group of Companies. Unless he chooses a different career path in the future, ensure that he becomes the Chairman of the Group in the future
Divorced To Steal His Heart 97. His Assets
Funny how I could not reply to the question.I'd finally resigned to my fate, to marry Jessica. The whole world is aware that our wedding is happening. She'd hyped it up so much that everyone believed I was madly in love with her. What's more better than acting along?Besides, my mother is right. I'm not getting any younger.And Grandpa's desire for an heir is still strong.I couldn't clearly state what I saw in Jessica. I couldn't form a lie either. “Dude, we're waiting….”All their eyes were on me, eager to hear my response. “Come on, Buddy.” Xander grinned. “Don't say she makes you speechless. It can be crazy when you're in love, but at least there has to be one or two things that got you attached.”“Don't tell me it's only because of her beauty,” Ryan exclaimed. “That's impossible. By the way, I'd heard about her obsession with plastic surgery-”“Hey, that's a lie! Is Theo Wellington blind to go for a plastic doll?” Mike stepped in to defend me.However, Ryan was right. Jess
Divorced To Steal His Heart 96. What He Saw In Her
I didn't just stop at the living room.Grabbing my car keys, I took the most low-key car and left the Villa.Nobody would be able to recognize me and no paparazzi would even take notice.I drove aimlessly around the city for several minutes, wishing it could somehow help calm my thoughts.My heart is unsettled, and so is my mind and I couldn't help but compare the past and the present.Jessica would always follow my instructions, but now she seemed to be forcing things to go her way.With my mother's backing, she does everything she wants.But, my mother has always supported her, and she was always obedient.Is this caused by Grandpa's approval?Why can't she take things slowly? After driving for hours, I pulled over in front of a place I'd promised never to come back to.But I could do with any kind of distraction at the moment. All I want is to just get rid of these frustrating thoughts.Luckily it was already evening and the sky was dark.Nobody would see me enter or exit the bar.
Divorced To Steal His Heart 95. Cook Up Lies
…Los Angeles, USA.Theo's POV Locking myself up in the Villa, and switching off my phone was all I needed to get myself back together.No need to see a Doctor to cure the constant headaches,Or a therapist to end the constant distraction. Yet, it turned out that the thing I was running from would always hunt me. Even now as I sat in the living room, every news channel I switched to was airing the same event.The charity gala and the interview. I could surf the Internet to kill time if only my walls weren't bombarded by Jessica's fans’ comments. Mountains of gifts were piled up in front of the Villa and I heard it's the same at Jessica's residence.There were one or two Paparazzi always lurking outside my home. The more the days approached, the more overwhelmingly suffocating things got. I need to breathe.I just want this to be over with as soon as possible. I turned off the TV and tossed the remote aside. I should probably be in my study room.So I stood up to go upstairs. B
Divorced To Steal His Heart 94. Changing Him
…Geneva, Switzerland.Olivia's POV First things first. To avoid a storm, one has to change the direction of the boat. Dave must be lacking the basic things kids do at their age, and that must be the reason why he's acting more than his age. His school teacher reported that he rarely made any friends and did not engage in any fun activities.He'd mostly preferred to hang out in the computer room. And the Nanny told me that he never played with the toys I bought him, which was more disturbing. Dave is a smart kid, however, that was dangerous. Not only did he get himself into trouble, but also us. So to prevent the same thing from ever occurring again, I must start finding ways to make him act his age. While Ethan helped us install the new TV in the living room with an expert, I went to find Dave in his room.Ever since I told him that we're not using Theo’s money, he'd been grumpy. Even now, we're looking for safe ways to transfer the money back without alerting anyone.Of co
Divorced To Steal His Heart 93. A Different Side of Her
When I arrived at the mansion, I didn't expect to see this number of crowd. Obviously, my mother has invited every woman in the socialites’ circle, both young and old. All of them aren't her friends.“Honey, you're just in time!” Jessica came forward, wearing a peach dress.This isn't a normal tea party. The mansion's field was decorated and the servants, dressed in their uniforms, were serving snacks and drinks. This isn't a tea party at all!“My parents just arrived from France for our wedding. Mom is throwing a celebration for their arrival. Come, they're sitting just there!”Without allowing me a second to process what's happening, Jessica pulled me through the crowd, anxious and excited.True to her words, her parents had come. And not only them, most of her relatives have arrived from France. And I thought she wanted a small wedding party.Mr. And Mrs. Reid stood up to greet me. I had to compose myself and act along. “We've finally met you in person, Son-in-law! You're inde
Divorced To Steal His Heart 92. Getting Married
…Los Angeles, U.S.A.Theo's POV I always knew it was too good to be true, and my intuition has always been right. A girl wouldn't randomly chat up my assistant for a relationship unless it was a scam.But this was more than a scam, as the heavy accusation could lead Jake to jail. If I hadn't interfered, that lady would have made his life hell!Now I recall correctly where I'd last seen her. She was Olivia's crazy friend who threatened to burn down my company if we didn't bring Olivia out five years ago. “Mr. Wellington, thank you for saving me.” Jake came to my office this morning, looking as haggard as he was last night. The Cops didn't touch him, but that lady had given him a hell of a beating. For some reason, she hated him.“I thought I told you to rest at home.”Besides, it wasn't only saving him. It was also saving my reputation. If I hadn't interfered quickly, we would have been labeled as kidnappers. “Yeah.” Jake scratched his head, looking embarrassed. “Actually, I'
Divorced To Steal His Heart 91. In Trouble
…Geneva, Switzerland.Olivia's POV Finally!Landing in Geneva was like getting out of hell and returning to the real peaceful world. I trudged into the apartment and sank onto the couch. Completely jetlagged, all I needed was some rest. Yet, I couldn't rest a bit as the images of what transpired at the airport kept flashing in my mind.I have to ignore it.I have to forget the fact that Theo and I met and talked. “Come here, you silly boy.” I pulled Dave to my side and hugged him tightly, wondering where he learned to be stubborn. “Aren't you the little troublemaker?”“I said I'm sorry, Mommy,” Dave murmured in my arms. “If I knew Theo was a complete jerk, I would never have gone near him.”I sighed. Thinking Dave hated his father deeply, it turned out I was completely wrong. Did he hope that Theo would change?Was that why he followed him to L.A.?“You didn't just go to look for me, right?” I asked. Dave was too smart for that. He was neither clingy nor whiny, so I was quite
