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 POVOutside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the CEO's office in the WT Building, the lights of the city flickered in the night.Everything has changed ever since Jessica returned.I had originally planned to divorce Olivia peacefully, but ever since I saw the text message sent by her that morning, something has been gnawing at me.It was an uncomfortable feeling. I couldn't quite put my fingers on it, but it left me unsettled.These days, her thoughts always pop up in my mind. I can't even focus much at work as I always find myself thinking about her.I always find myself hoping she hadn't sent that message and Jessica hadn't committed that mistake.What's going on with me?Even at the meeting today, I found myself zoning out during my subordinates’ reports. Worse, I even caught myself wanting to see her—to explain things. It was absurd. I haven't replied to Olivia's text message yet, grappling with what to respond with.Funny how I want to clarify things. I should be hap

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

Come to the airport, your sunshine will arrive at 10 AM]I woke up to that text message notification from my best friend.Blinking at the phone’s screen, I wanted to believe that I'd seen wrong.Bonnie had been abroad for such a long time that I almost thought that she had moved there permanently. We lost communication recently, and for the past few months, it's as if I don't have a best friend.A smile spread on my lips and I quickly got ready.Fortunately, it's the weekend.Although I've initially planned to spend the whole day resting in my apartment, Bonnie's arrival is more important. A few hours later, I was at the airport, standing in the waiting area and holding a mini banner that had Bonnie's name on it. Now and then, I would glance at my wristwatch.Bonnie's flight should have landed. Almost everyone should have departed the plane already as the area was becoming empty once more. She didn't prank me, did she? Sighing, I turned arou

“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 41. Help Him!
Theo's POV I waited for a minute to pass by, wondering if the boy would return immediately.He might have gone outside to check on something. But what, though?At this time of the night even.My mind told me to go and check, my curiosity getting the best of me.Who knows, he might be setting another trap which I might fall into. So I got up, sensing no sign of him returning. I stepped towards the door, making sure that I didn't make any sound. As I pulled the door open carefully, I peeked through it first. There wasn't any sign of him in the long empty hallway, but one of the elevator’s lights was on. Obviously, someone has just entered it. What now?Is he leaving this huge apartment building all by himself?I followed and checked the number of floors he was going to. Seeing it baffled me. Actually, he wasn't leaving the building, but going up. The elevator was going to the fifteenth floor. I wonder who he's meeting there. With each moment, my curiosity got stronger and I foll

What promise?I can't recall promising to take him to L.A.Dave stomped forward and stood in front of us, dropping both hands on his waist “Ms. Maya, are you plotting behind my back?”“Oh, Dave… it's not like that.” The Nanny sounded hopeless. “We're only discussing about the weather.”“Really?” The boy narrowed his eyes. No doubt, he knew the Nanny was lying. I can't stand it anymore.I have to make it clear to him. “I won't take you to L.A.”His expression darkened. Literally, he went so mad that the cold look he threw my way froze me for a second. “How else will you repay my kindness, Theo Wellington?”“I can send you gifts from L.A. that's all.”But Dave wouldn't hear of it.I wonder if he did it intentionally or not, but my precious dinner was soon gone. The food I had barely touched.He knocked over the tray while grabbing his Nanny's hand and the glass of water spilled inside my food. “Fine. If you won't take me to L.A, I'll go by myself,” he declared. Despite my anger at s

…Geneva, Switzerland Theo's POV Is this a curse or what?I never expected to be stranded in a city as huge as this.The fact that nobody recognized me or my assistant made matters worse.Imagine us going to the airport and getting denied our luggage. Without our passports, nobody would believe I'm the mighty Theo Wellington.How did the passports even get lost in the first place?All thanks to Jake who had foolishly lost his wallet.Without both our phones… without any money in us, we're forced to keep relying on this little kid who seemed to hate me for no reason.Otherwise, why would he scoop a little food on my plate as my dinner?Hadn't he been the same person urging me to eat well last night?“This is too small,” I complained. “Is this all I'll get?”I glanced at Jake's plate which was filled to the brim with food.It's not fair, is it?“You were supposed to call me Boss, but you refused to,” said the little boy. “That's what you get for disobeying your savior.”Seriously, he
Divorced To Steal His Heart 38. Stay for A While
I don't know what instantly brought tears to my eyes. It's probably because of hearing his voice again for the first time after five years.Or maybe because he woke up when I was just about to leave. Turning around, I found the old man struggling to speak through the oxygen mask.I quickly helped him remove it, promptly checking his vitals through the monitor machine for any changes in his system. But his body was working fine which is a relief.I sat in the chair across from him, watching his eyes wet with tears.How did he recognize it was me?I'm wearing a mask after all.“Grandpa!” Emotion flooded my mind and my speech was incoherent. I struggled between laughter and tears as I held onto his hand. “You're awake!”“Am I dreaming, Olivia?” Grandpa Victor said, his voice hoarse and weak. “Did you come personally to check on me?”He didn't know yet that I was the surgeon who performed the operation.I've already planned with the hospital to keep it hidden even after the patient woke

…Los Angeles Olivia's POV Is it normal that I cannot even breathe properly anymore after hearing that Theo was looking for me?No. He had searched for me five years ago. Probably not anymore.But the feeling still lingered as if monsters were chasing me, lurking in the hospital walls.My mind was restless, and my heart beat with unease, wondering why he had looked for me.If Theo had searched for me five years ago, chances are things won't go well if we meet again. Right now, the last person I ever want to see is him.I've tried my best to avoid Grandpa Victor's relatives, but what if we accidentally bump into each other?What if Theo had sent out search parties to look for me, and someone accidentally saw me in Los Angeles?They would report to him instantly and my cover would be blown.“Olivia, calm down. You don't need to be in a rush. Don't you care about the old man’s health and that's why you're here? Besides, you have to follow the hospital’s protocol.”As much as Ethan trie
Divorced To Steal His Heart 36. Constant Humiliation
Cleaning the car is impossible!I've never done such a menial task before; talk more of doing it in public. Damnit!How did I end up like this? Luckily, Jake is here to do the humiliating job in my stead.I would have rejected it. However, the taxi driver's loud voice was already dragging the attention of the passersby.While I stood in a corner watching, Jake cleaned the taxi driver's car to the point that there wasn't a single daint on it. And before the taxi driver left, he looked at me and advised, “If you keep doing this, Mister, your son will forever live in the disappointment of you. With your good looks, you can easily get a job at any nightclub in this city. Those frivolous women can spend anything on you-”“Scram!” I was about to lose it, having had enough of the taxi driver's insults. However, the guy did himself good by leaving immediately.“I say we should deal with him, Mr. Wellington.” Jake wiped off his sweat, looking exhausted. “Even you never asked me to clean yo

I was still bottling in my anger when a taxi stopped in front of us. “Going somewhere, Gentlemen?”“Do we have to go in a taxi?” I complained.Is this how the kid goes to school every day?“My Nanny isn't here. She would have used my Mommy's car. But I can't let you guys touch it because my Mommy's very concerned about hygiene.”Is this boy directly insulting us, calling us dirty?I frowned, staring at him. The boy met my gaze, daring me with his eyes to talk back.Even adults never dare to stare me straight in the eyes. What kind of devil has possessed this boy who only has a sharp tongue?“Haha! The taxi is here. Shall we?” Jake doused the tension once more, and he quickly held the taxi’s door open.He sat in the passenger seat while I had to sit in the backseat with the boy who wouldn't stop glaring at me.It's as if I'd done something wrong. Something I'm not aware of.“What's your destination?” The taxi driver asked.“Little Elites Academy. The best school in town. The only kind
Divorced To Steal His Heart 34. Their Savior!
Theo's POV A few minutes later.I was still mulling over the loss of my phone, recounting the important information I had inside it.From the looks of it, the device is irreparable. The washing machine had crushed it beyond recognition. It'll be impossible even for a professional to put it back into good shape.Now I'll have to buy a new phone and contact the company back in L.A. to download the data in it. Fortunately, I always made sure to back up those important data.When my assistant returned, I could finally sigh in relief.I can't wait to get out of this place and continue looking for that doctor. More importantly, I need his phone to communicate with the nurse and the company.“Hello, Boss. Here are your orders.” He came in with a cheerful smile.My lips twitched in annoyance, seeing him refer to the little boy as Boss.“Hurry. Theo Wellington refused to make his own breakfast. He's been whining all morning about his destroyed phone.” The boy clicked his tongue, staring at m

…Geneva, Switzerland Theo's POV “Theo Wellington!” I woke up to the pounding sound inside my head, followed by small rapid taps on my arm. My muscles were sore as if I'd just run a marathon.I took a moment to open my eyes, adjusting them to the blinding lights flashing on my face.“Wake up, you're late.”Late for what?Opening my eyes, I found the little boy standing in front of me.The disproving scowl on his face made me wonder what I did wrong.No. I should be the angry one.Ever since I've lived, I've never slept on the couch before. The experience was agonizing. I wish never to go through it again. “You slept too much. You didn't wake up for breakfast. Now you'll have to prepare your own food,” the boy added.How come?I couldn't even get proper sleep as I kept tossing on this couch throughout the night.I shouldn't have slept much.Glancing at the wall clock, I realized it was 7:30 AM already.That's strange.Maybe I was jet lagged from the flight yesterday.Breakfast?I
