Sweet Divorce

Chapter 59 Silent Man



Chapter 59 Silent Man

Liam then wrapped her arbitrarily and closed his cold eyes.

Rita was taken aback by his words and she felt that her heart even skipped a beat.

What... what did he mean?

In the dim-lit bedroom, Rita was lying beside Liam tensely.

Rita wanted to push him away and got out of the bed, but he just hugged her even tighter till the point she can’t even move nor breathe.

She got frightened and started trembling.

“Don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you.”

Sensing her trembling, Liam said.

Hearing his words, Rita suddenly tilted her head and stared at him.

Why was he getting weirder?

Recently, she even felt that he was not that indifferent.

Was this her misconception?

It must be!

Just an illusion! Nothing else.

Rita took a deep breath which let her regain her calmness.

“Liam.”

But Liam kept shutting his eyes and didn’t respond. Rita suddenly got sad and said in a hoarse voice, “Will you just spare me?”

Liam didn’t say anything, but Rita can feel that he froze for a second.

She knew that he was listening.

Then she spoke again, “Just sign the divorce paper. We will be done with each other.”

But it was still all quiet in the room.

Rita’s eyes started welling up and even sobbed a bit.

He just won’t spare her easily.

Was he trying to hold her as a prisoner for Joey?

How heartless was he!

Feeling indignant, she suddenly pushed Liam’s arm away and wanted to return to her carpet.

“Rita!”

The man who was keeping silent suddenly spoke.

Rita paused, but not hearing his words again, she got out of the bed disappointedly.

However, she was dragged to Liam’s chest violently. Liam then warned, “Stop moving. You are disturbing me.”

“Liam! What are you doing?”

Rita had a mental breakdown because of Liam’s caprice and started screaming.

“Just go to sleep.” Liam then closed his eyes.

But Rita got frustrated and burst into tears.

She just realized that Liam would never spare her no matter what she did.

She was depressed before because he was cold to her. But now he was much more gentle, she started getting this weird feeling.

Was he torturing her in another way?

Being forced to sleep next to Liam, Rita was having random thoughts in her head. Maybe it was because she didn’t get time to think about those horrifying memories in her prior lifetime, Rita even slept soundly next to Liam.

But it was Liam who can’t fall asleep this night.

Though Rita was lying next to her, Liam constantly tossed and turned. He just can’t shake off Rita’s questioning before.

He got of the bed and walked out of the bedroom at daybreak. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Standing at the balcony, Liam puffed at his cigarette and looked afar complexly.

Because the smoke was covering his face, there was no way to tell what he was feeling right now.

Rita was suddenly awoken by the phone’s ringing.

Rita’s first response was not to reach the phone, but looked at her side.

It was empty.

Had Liam already left?

Well, the bed was cold, so he must have left!

Great! She can finally be free.

She let out a deep sigh of relief and finally felt less intense.

“Rita? Your grandmother is sick. You’d better come to the hospital right away!” Her father said hurriedly.

Rita blinked her eyes and asked, “Is it serious?”

“She fainted this morning and hasn’t woken up yet.” Noah was worried sick and was even sweating. “I’m afraid that your grandmother would...”

“Your father was afraid that your grandmother would suddenly pass away at her age, so he wanted you and Liam to come here as soon as possible. Otherwise, you may regret it later.”

Seeing that Noah was being hesitating, Zoe grabbed the phone and explained.

They were afraid that Rita might be criticized by other people if she didn’t show up now.

They were getting extra cautious because what happened before.

Hearing her speech, Rita frowned.

Was it this serious?

She then turned around and looked at the calendar. Looking at the June the 8th number on the calendar, Rita frowned.

If she remembered it correctly, Amelia threw a celebration party for Charlotte at the last lifetime. She even drank a lot because of all the excitement and joy!

Amelia was definitely not sick back then.

How come that she was sick at this lifetime?

Did she pass out because of the press report?

“Rita?”

While Rita was wondering, her mother asked through the phone, “Are you listening?”

“I am, mom. I’ll be there in a minute.”

“Okay.”

Hanging up the phone, Rita got up and walked into the bathroom.

Standing in front of the dressing mirror, she looked at her swollen eyes which were caused by all the crying and bit her lips lightly.

‘Stop being so weak! What can all the crying do? It won’t solve anything! No more crying next time!’

‘You just have to collect the evidence as soon as possible and prove that you are innocent! After seeing all the evidence, Liam would definitely sign the divorce paper! For sure!’

Having a pep talk to herself inside, Rita regained her morale.

After washing her face, Rita exchanged her clothes and walked out of the bedroom without any makeup on.

When she reached the stair, she found that Liam was sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Her footsteps paused a bit.

But just for a second, she then continued walking downstairs calmly.

“Where are you going?”

While she was passing him to the door, Liam suddenly asked.

Pretending that she didn’t hear him, Rita continued walking to the door.

She had decided that she would avoid Liam as much as possible. She didn’t want to be disturbed ever again because of him.

“Are you visiting Old Mrs. Brown at the hospital?”

Hearing Liam’s questioning, Rita froze a bit.

‘How would he know? Did her parents also call him?’

“We can go together then.” Liam then put down the coffee mug and walked towards Rita.

Hearing his footsteps, Rita’s eyebrows furrowed.

Things just can’t go as she wanted.

So they rode the same car to the hospital.

When they arrived at the underground parking in the hospital, Rita wanted to open the car and get out, but found that the car was locked.

At this moment, Liam who was sitting next to her approached her.

Rita got panicked and looked at Liam defensively. She even held out her hand to block him. “What... what are you doing?”
