Divorced To Steal His Heart 10. His Cold Attitude
Jessica's POVI can't believe that lowly bum escaped my trap last night. Instead of staying around and defending herself, she simply walked away, putting a close to the conflict. I trust Theo's mother and his sister to stand up for me. I hoped Theo could tear her apart. After the old man humiliated me because of her, I wanted to get revenge fair and square and implicate her as well. But Olivia seems different than I imagined. Her calmness gives me a sense of discomfort. It's as if she is hiding some tricks. Not long after Olivia left, Theo asked his mother and sister to go inside… that I'd be fine. Of course, I'm alright. But how can I let go of this rare opportunity in front of me? “Oh, Theo… I can't walk.” I limped forward, throwing myself at him as if I'd lost my balance. “It's too late, anyway. Can't I spend the night here with your family?”But Theo didn't look pleased by my request. I wonder why he can't grant this simple request. “You've already provoked Grandpa,” Theo e

Theo's POV The morning sun shone through the car window on my face, warm, but failed to dispel my inner restlessness.Olivia blocked my contact.I never thought she would have the heart to do that.Her text message carried an angry tone- if only I knew she was that angry.So she was serious about the divorce!That thought alone brought an unsettling feeling to my heart without knowing why. “My son, Mike, has been naughty and adventurous since he was a child. I had him later in life. With my busy career, I couldn't control him much! So he has a free personality and likes extreme sports. That silly boy almost lost his life in that car accident.”Mr. Kensington’s nagging broke me out of my thoughts. Despite his angry words, his face beamed with happiness as he spoke about his son. His tone was a little helpless but also full of pride as he continued, “This time he came to the U. S., planning to ride a motorcycle across the country, but who can expect there would be a serious car acci

“Oh, Theo, that was a joke!”“I know, right?”“But you're still gonna take me there!”The couple were chatting and laughing with Jessica holding Theo’s arm. His tall frame, paired with her slim and slender one, truly looked like a match made in heaven. Jessica's radiant smile illuminated her face and the subtle smile on Theo’s lips and his light expression showed that whatever they were talking about was funny. I stood rooted in the same spot, staring at them, unable to move.Just then, they noticed me. The couple stilled. The bright smile on Jessica's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a frown. While Theo’s expression dropped. His pupils constricted, his eyes raking over my body, making me starkly aware of myself. When his gaze returned to my face, he parted his lips as if he wanted to say something. His face was strangely pale. “The owners are here.” The sales lady's words snapped me out of my reverie. “Ma'am, please take this dress off before Mr. Wellington gets mad.”

…Olivia's POV The weekend passed by in a flash. Having Bonnie around cheering me uplifted my spirits a lot. After the event at the mall, strangely, Bonnie didn't bring up Theo’s topic again which I'm grateful for. It's another sunny day. I woke up early and headed to the hospital. Arriving at my office, I sorted out the patient and surgery files and prepared for a busy day ahead.I have two more surgeries to perform today. Fortunately, they’re not too complicated and will not consume too much physical energy.Recently, my body gets tired easily. I feel more fatigued than I usually would, and can no longer bear the intensity of previous hard work.As I left my office door, suddenly, a bunch of red roses appeared in front of me. “Dr. Olivia, surprise! Good morning!" Mike jumped out of nowhere, flashing his perfect white set of teeth.I almost yelped in shock before I quickly composed myself. “What are you doing now?” Crossing my arms, I stared at the guy, frowning.Ever since he

…Olivia's POV The hospital’s disinfectant is as pungent and familiar as ever. Living each day well is the most real and important thing. Things are unpredictable and I just want to seize every day and live it to the fullest. The surgeries I performed recently were all very good with no single mistake, so I planned to organize them into files and make them a research topic. And there will be a Symposium that will be held later. “Olivia!” Hearing that familiar voice calling out my name, I looked up to find a face I hadn't seen in many years. Dr. Joanna Lawton. Professor Lawton was my mentor at medical college. I was among the closest students to her. Sadly, we've lost touch for the past few years.“Prof. Lawton! Long time no see!” I stepped forward and gave her a big hug. Time surely flies. The middle-aged woman was now aging with fine lines of wrinkles outlining her face. “Olivia, my favorite student.” The woman chuckled, touching the side of my face. “I can see you have bec

Divorced To Steal His Heart 79. Forgiving Him
Jessica was just desperate for a child, that's all. Many times, she'd brought up the topic of having our own child even though I kept postponing the wedding. Her desperation was born from my mother's constant nagging who had been longing for a grandchild for many years now. “That's enough, Dave… Return that bag. Besides, I haven't found your parents yet.”Which will be my priority from now on. Thomas Sinclair had been apprehended.The doctor had already agreed to go to the Island,Most of my worries had decreased, and the only important task ahead was finding his parents. Otherwise,It's not only Jessica’s craziness I'm wary of. My mother could do something as crazy too.“I'm not staying in this place until Jessica leaves. And promise that she never comes back,” Dave grumbled, pursing his lips. It's not like I like Jessica's company. She must have left already in fact. So it's not something to worry about. Noticing the boy holding his stomach, I frowned a bit. “Hungry?”Dave re
Divorced To Steal His Heart 78. Good News and Bad News
Ridiculous!Is Jessica desperate for us to have a child that she'd even harass this kid? What's wrong with her? Strolling upstairs, I wiped my face, hoping my frustration would go away.I've had enough drama for the day, and all I wanted was a long rest-No, I still have some documents to sign. I have to attend a video meeting later, and then, I'd have to look over the new company's infrastructure my assistant emailed me since last week.I never get rest even during weekends. Damn, if only I could take a long vacation. But the company is unstable now. The higher-ups are constantly butting heads. Just like finding Olivia, a vacation is a far-fetched dream. I paused in the middle of the stairs and brought out my phone which just rang.Seeing the hospital director’s name flashing on the screen, I answered the call and resumed walking.Hopefully, I'll hear good news this time. At least, one load should be lifted off my shoulders already. “Mr. Wellington, I have good news and bad ne

Jessica froze. She stood up straight and dropped the cupcake. Turning around, she plastered on a sweet smile. “Oh, Theo… you came back early. Dave and I wanted to surprise you-”“What the hell were you doing?” I interrupted her, wondering if something was wrong with her head.If I hadn't come in and witnessed it for myself, I wouldn't have believed it. “Uhmm, w-what?” Jessica stammered, putting on a confused look. “What do you mean, Honey?”“Witch! Didn't you try to poison me just now!?” Dave grabbed a tissue and wiped off the smudges of cupcake on his lips. He jumped down from the dining chair and ran to my side. “This wicked witch has been harassing me since morning. What took you so long, Theo?”I wanted to reassure him that I was here and would end Jessica's craziness.First, it was posting the boy's photos on the internet, and now this!But Jessica's stance wavered. She staggered and grabbed the chair's handle, staring at us in disbelief. “What's this, Theo? Dave is just bein

Honestly, I dislike hearing him constantly call out Olivia's name.I shouldn't be jealous.I didn't care about Olivia even when we were still married.I shouldn't be so provoked by seeing another man obsessed with her!I slammed the steering wheel, honking the car loud as it suddenly got stuck in the traffic.Apart from my mounting frustration, I also felt kind of annoyed this morning.Olivia…I didn't only just dream about her, but also had to hear another man mention her name again and again. Sometimes, I get worried that she might be dead.I get mad sometimes that she left without telling me of her illness,While sometimes, I just feel hopeless.The traffic didn't disperse until th

“Now now, Cora. We wouldn't want you to accompany the old man and constantly get distracted by Theo’s presence, right? Thank you for not hiding your real intentions. You're disqualified.”“But, Uncle Davison-”“Call me Dr. Davison when we're at work!”Moments later, a young lady stormed out of the office, looking frustrated and sad.She almost bumped into me, making my mask slip off momentarily.Thankfully, she didn't recognize me. She appeared to be new and wasn't present while I was still working here five years ago.I couldn't help but shake my head in pity, seeing how all the ladies were gushing over Theo. A rose looks beautiful and inviting on the outside, but it's filled with thorns. I put my face mask back in place and entered Dr. Davison’s office.The middle-aged man was sitting across his desk, ticking off some names on a list. When he saw me, he stood up. “Oh, Dr. Olivia, you're here.”“Yeah,” I replied cautiously. “Why do you wanna see me, Dr. Davison?”“It's for a very

I have a feeling that I won't be able to handle Dr. Davison alone,But Ethan has a family emergency and has to fly to Delawares immediately.I waved him goodbye as he drove off, hoping none of his parents had fallen sick.Then I turned and stared at the huge building standing in front of me.Returning to this place is risky.I might bump into Theo again like last time. But Dr. Davison made it sound so urgent that I couldn't turn him down… Hopefully, I'm not gonna regret this!
Divorced To Steal His Heart 73. Jealousy
I arrived at the City's First Hospital. The same VIP Ward Mike had been admitted into five years ago. A nostalgic feeling hit me, bringing back a lot of memories.These hospital walls echoed with so many memories. Jessica's accident. Mike's accident. Those memories were all tied to one person… Olivia.Will I never escape from constantly thinking about her? When will I stop getting exposed to situations that always lead me to think about her? “Ahhhh! Let go of me! Don't touch me!”The commotion inside the ward brought me back to the present.Mike was surrounded by several nurses who tried to pin him down,But the guy overpowered all of them, pushing anyone that tried to touch him away.“If you don't leave me alone, I'll make sure this hospital goes down!” He yelled. “Just bring me my precious angel.”“Mr. Kensington, please calm down.”“You're bleeding too much.”“We need to clean your wounds before they get infected.”The nurses looked exhausted and some of them had even collap
Divorced To Steal His Heart 72. In Trouble
After Dave left, I reached out for the bottle of whiskey anyway. Discussing the matter with him didn't help. I'd look forward to the boy offering me words of comfort, but then he blatantly expressed his disappointment.Well, who wouldn't be disappointed in me in such a situation?I divorced young. I didn't consider anyone’s feelings. But Grandpa's control over me was suffocating at that time. I needed to stand on my own feet. I needed to make my own choices. A while later as the dark sky outside began clearing up, I headed back to my bedroom upstairs. Finding my phone's screen on, I wondered what notification just came in.I grabbed the phone from the bedside table and stared at the several missed calls from one person. Mr. Kensington. Why did he call many times? Seemed like it had been over an hour now since he started calling me.Strange.Although Mr. Kensington and I are now solid business partners and have built a good relationship over the past few years, we barely commun
