Sweet Divorce

Second floor, in Rita's locked bedroom.

Sitting by the bed, Rita looked at the inky night sky, and rubbed her bridge of the nose to ease her headache.

'He is determined to torture me to death.'

She smiled miserably and lamented his indifference toward her.

However, She would struggle to avoid herself being in endless pain in her second life.

Therefore, she had to find a way to force Liam agree to the divorce.

At night, she lay alone in the big double bed, tossing and turning, and could not fall into sleep. All she thought about was how to leave Liam.

When she finally fell into sleep, she only had nightmares.

The next day, when Liam pushed opened the door and went into the room, he saw Rita, who was haunted by nightmares, clutched her left leg, which was full of ugly scars due to a car accident, and cried because of feeling hurt. Perhaps she felt too wronged, and she sobbed and shivered from time to time.

He trembled slightly as he watched her sobbing painfully on the bed.

For a moment, he thought what he had done was a little too much for her last night.

His brows corrugated, and he quickly whisked away his inexplicable emotion.

'All this was the result of her plot. She did not deserve any sympathy.'

He regained apathy and bowed his head.

He called her name coldly, "Rita Brown."

Hearing Liam's voice, Rita woke up from the nightmares and opened her eyes instantly. She looked at him with terror and shrank herself to the bedside. "What are you doing here?"

His face became dour when he heard her alert voice.

He looked at her without any emotion and said, "Come to the living room in five minutes."

"Why?"

"Grandpa is coming."

Hearing that her lifeless eyes lit up as if she saw a straw.

Although he was usually cold and indifferent, his respect and filial piety toward his grandpa were known throughout the F City.

Therefore, if she asked grandpa Jim for help, she might be able to force Liam agree to divorce.

Because she once saved Jim's life.

In order to repay her, Jim once agreed to her that if one day she wanted to get this favor back, she could tell him, and he would agree whatever. She had never thought the day will come to her.

But now, in order to divorce and to leave Liam, she must do it.

After that, she could leave the Wilson family ever forever.

Actually, it seemed good to her.

She can start her new life.

Just imagining the life after leaving him, she smiled involuntarily.

She scrambled out of bed and then went towards the bathroom passing Liam, "You can go downstairs first. I will be right there later."

Watching her positive reaction, he had already known that she must be planning for something.

The corners of his mouth were lifted slightly. He did not say anything and went downstairs.

Several minutes later.

She did a simple makeup and could not wait to go downstairs.

However, even though she wanted to go downstairs quickly, she could not do so.

Her leg was hurt in a car accident and since then when she walked quickly, there would be piercing pain of her feet.

And now, a few steps had made her feel extremely painful, and she became pale in a few minutes.

She limped into the living room as she gnashed.

When she stood in front of Liam, she straightened up, unwilling to show her fragility.

Rita glanced at the living room and found that only Liam was in the living room. Her eyes dimmed sightly.

'Grandpa Jim hadn't arrived yet.'

She sipped her lips in disappointment and walked across Liam toward the sofa which was set in front of Liam.

The next second, she was pulled into his arm by a force.

At once, his cold breath came to her face, and she tensed slightly.

"Liam Wilson, what are you doing?" she hurriedly pushed his hand away from her arms.

He caught her arms so tightly that she could not push away. Instead, she was hugged into his arms.

"I have heard that your dad has not made any contribution to the Brown Group. He was in a bad situation." He said slowly without any emotion.

Rita stared at him when he mentioned her father all of a sudden.

Liam watched ahead. It seemed that he was staring at something or just looked in daze.

It made him more mysterious for he was the one that others cannot understand his emotions. At the same time, Rita was nervous.

She knew him too well.

He would not mention something without a reason. Instead, he always has his intention.

She squinted and questioned coldly, "What do you want?"

"If I withdrawn the capital from the Brown Group, what situation your parents will be in in the Brown family. You are clear about that." Liam turned his head toward her with his lips up. "If you hope your parents live a good life, you'd better be careful about each word you might say when you stay with Grandpa."
