Lahat ng Kabanata ng Divorced To Steal His Heart : Kabanata 251 - Kabanata 260

Theo’s POVI’m not surprised by her response. The more I pull, the faster she runs. When will this end? When will she finally give in? “Olivia, I’ll do whatever it takes to prove my sincerity. Please give me a chance.”She didn’t blink, her expression blank and cold. Wish I could reverse time back to some minutes ago when Dave was still here. Wish I could see the softness in her eyes once more. “It doesn’t matter whether you’re sincere or not. Mr. Wellington, I can’t force myself to like you.” Her words were like needles pricking at my heart. The pain in my arm was nothing in comparison. Does she hate me this much?This mission will end, and we’ll soon return to being strangers. That’s not what I want. I don’t want to fall back into the same situation again. Winning her heart is important, as is Grandpa’s approval. She picked up her bag and stood up.“Where are you going?”“Home.”“Can you stay a bit longer?” I reached out. If only my movement weren’t restricted, I would have g

Grandpa didn’t look surprised. He didn’t ask why either. Smiling, he nodded and gave him the go-ahead. “Spend as much time as you want with your parents. However, you have to return before evening. Your tutor will be here.”What tutor?As if sensing my confusion, Grandpa turned to me. “He’s going abroad soon. Before he departs, he has to be taught how to fit in.”“You’re right, Great-grandpa. I won’t spend too much time at the hospital,” Dave replied. He soon finished his food and left for his room to get ready.While I sat waiting at the dining table, my anxiousness increasing. Hearing the word ‘abroad’ just managed to wake up my anxiety. “Join me, Dear. I’m pretty sure you didn’t eat much before coming here,” Grandpa proposed.I smiled, politely declining his invitation to eat. I have no appetite. Eating will also delay us.“So when will you move in here?” He asked. “I’ve ordered the servants to renovate your quarters. Are you waiting until Theo gets discharged from the hospital?”

Well, I hope so.This is getting out of hand, and my resolve is cracking. Will I be able to keep up with the act for long with the constant lies and Theo’s provocation?Even now, as I sat across from him, staring at everything else but him, I could feel his deep gaze penetrating my skin. I stood up and sat on the couch instead, maintaining a considerable distance from him. Hopefully, Dave will come back soon. I could leave now, but if Dave returns and doesn’t find me here, he’ll get suspicious. “I don’t bite, Olivia. Stop running from me,” Theo said, his lips holding that mischievous smile. I decided to ignore him and focused on pressing into my phone.His heavy sigh resounded before the ward sank into silence. It was supposed to be a peaceful silence, if only his deep gaze wasn’t boring into my skin.I couldn’t even look up, fearing our eyes would meet. I couldn’t concentrate much on what I was doing on my phone. Then suddenly, the chair made a clattering sound. I gasped and sp

…Jessica’s POV.I clutched the steering wheel harder, disappointed that it wasn’t Olivia’s hair.I shouldn’t have let go until I’d made her go bald completely. I should have acted faster and smarter. I should have smashed her head with that chair. How dare she!It’s no wonder Theo didn’t want me to come back. It’s no wonder that he ordered me to accompany Tania.If I hadn’t returned quickly after hearing the news that he was hospitalized, I would never have witnessed this horrible sight.Theo. Holding Olivia’s hands. Confessing that she was the only woman he loved!I screamed, slamming my fist on the steering wheel. How could he do that to me? Of all women in this world, why did he have to go after that bitch? Isn’t this funny? Isn’t it ironic?He divorced her five years ago, giving me hope that I would become the new Mrs. Wellington. But he’d just recently crushed that hope and gone back to chasing his ex-wife!I laughed, wiping my tears.Of all the stunts I’ve pulled, despite lyi

She has to be bluffing. Jessica couldn’t have injured herself just because I’m wounded. But a while ago, she wasn’t like this, and her arm looked normal.I pulled her close and checked out her injury. It’s real. “This is crazy.” I frowned. “Are you out of it, Jessica? This…”For the first time, I was left speechless by her actions. She has completely lost it. Instead of letting her wander among normal people, I should send her to a mental health facility. Jessica hugged me and cried, “So what if I’m out of it? Can’t you see that it’s all because of you, Honey? I don’t mind taking my own life as well if it means being cured of the pain of separating from you.”“I can live with the knowledge that you don’t love me… but I can’t live without seeing you often…” She went on. “So don’t push me away or I’ll really kill myself. We can be friends if you don’t want us to be lovers. I don’t care that Olivia is back in your life, I can even become your mistress if you want.”That’s ridiculous.
