Sweet Divorce

Chapter 75 The Necklace

Suddenly, there was all in silence in the car.

Rita looked at Liam for a few seconds, then looked out the window and said, "I don't know why you don't like him and I don't care what the dispute is between you and him, please don't involve me in it."

She didn't want to get involved in anything between all of them.

She just wanted to left after one year.

Hearing what she said, Liam frowned slightly.

He was so smart. Of course he knew her thoughts.

He also looked out the window, and the atmosphere inside the car changed slightly. It was heavy and alienated.

This time, he didn't get angry but squinted his eyes and laughed, "Well, Liam, it turns out that this woman really is your weakness!"

"Since you have weakness, it is easy to deal with."

“Liam, it's time to pay back the leg you owe the Roberts family!”

As soon as Rita and Liam entered the school, they separated and worked on their own.

After the speech, it was already ten thirty at noon.

After standing for more than two hours, her left leg hurt every step of the way.

When Liam looked down from upstairs, her limping figure was particularly eye-catching.

In front of the French window, Liam suddenly picked up the coat on the sofa, turned his head and walked out.

As if thinking of something, he stopped and looked at the school leader behind him.

"Sorry, Director Lin, I need to deal with something urgently. All the information about the interns recommended by W. University should be given to Mr. Thompson. From now on, this matter will be handled by him."

"Well, okay, Mr. Wilson."

Liam gave an apologetic look, and then left without looking back.

Jacob was sitting in the office, being so confused, not knowing what his urgent things could be.

He looked downstairs towards from the place where Liam had just stood, and was seeing Rita walking towards the gate of the school.

He suddenly understood what Liam was heading to.

He couldn’t help but signed that Liam was deeply in love with that woman.

When Liam left the classroom, he drove quickly to catch up with Rita.

When he caught up with her, he didn't slam the brakes but sped up to overtake the past several meters, and then slowly stopped the car.

Sitting in the car, he glanced in the rear view mirror like he was unintentionally. When he saw Rita walked over and opened the right door immediately.

When Rita heard the sound, she turned over and met his gaze.

"I happen to be going home."

Rita narrowed her eyebrows, "Are you finished your work so soon?"

He gave an affirmative reply, looked forwards and said, "Get in the car".

Rita had no doubts about his explanation.

She thanked him, and bent over to sit in the position of the assistant seat.

In order to make her leg more comfortable, she deliberately adjusted the seat to the right, letting her whole body lie down.

Along the way, they didn't talk much.

Even if there was a conversation, Rita replied in a perfunctory manner.

Soon, they returned to the Wilson's house again.

After getting out of the car, Rita felt her left leg sore when she stepped on the ground. Her face suddenly turned pale, and she froze still and did not dare to move.

Seeing this, Liam strode forward.

He was so worried and asked, “Does it hurt again?”

"Well, it hurt for a while." Rita pretended to smile easily, raising her leg to move forward, but just after taking a step, she felt her leg hurting badly and her whole body sweating.

In order to prevent her fragility from being exposed in front of him, she gritted her teeth and kept moving on.

Maybe it was because she was afraid of pain, when she stepped on the ground with her left leg, her eyes closed tightly. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

In the next second, she suddenly felt her body was held up by someone.

She instantly opened her eyes and saw Liam’s face so closely in front of her.

She was surprised and asked, “What are you doing? Let go of me.”

"Your leg hurt so much that you are sweating, so don't push yourself so hard."

When her stubbornness was dismantled, Rita couldn't help but blushed her face with shame.

She had to push herself!

She didn't want to be jokes by others!

She lowered her head and bit her lips with complex emotions.

When she was distracted, they already got in the living room.

“Liam, you are back!”

As soon as they stepped into the living room, they met Nora, who had been waiting here.

With their eyes looking at each other, she clearly felt the consternation and jealousy in Nora's eyes.

To avoid suspicion, she hurriedly twisted her body to get out of Liam's arms.

However, she was held tightly by Liam and couldn't move. She looked at him in astonishment, "Liam?"

"What?" Liam looked at her and asked.

Rita knitted her brows slightly and said, “Let go of me.”

"With your leg hurt like that, are you able to go to the second floor by yourself?"

No, she couldn’t.

Rita knew it clearly. She lowered her head and bit her lips, not knowing what to do.

Hearing their conversation, Nora, who was ignored by Liam, felt better slightly.

Now she knew that Liam held Rita because of her hurting leg.

She took a deep breath secretly and her gloomy mood turned better.

Nora walked forward with a smile, said worriedly, "Rita, do you have a pain in your leg? is it hurt badly? Would you like me to take a look and give you a simple diagnosis and treatment?"

Rita coldly watched Nora pretending to be worried, and snorted in mind.

Rita didn't want Nora to make her disabled and drive her away just to be Liam's wife like she did in the previous life.

She refused coldly with her face turned indifferent, "No need. It was just small problem."

Although she noticed that Rita's tone was strange, Nora completely thought it was because Rita was being angered by the Nash family, so she didn't pay attention to it. She still smiled and said, "Rita, if you feel uncomfortable, tell me, I will do my best to help you relieve your pain."

Rita gave an affirmative reply, looked up at Liam, and said, “Send me upstairs, Liam.”

“Wait a minute!”

When Liam was about to leave, Nora grabbed his arm in a panic.

Looking at his cold face, Nora said with her eyes went red and her voice was even hoarse when she spoke, "Liam, today is my sister's... memorial day."

There was still no expression on Liam's face at this moment, but Rita obviously felt his hand holding her more tightly.

She knew that he cared.

After all, that was Joey’s memorial day.

And Joey was his beloved.

"Liam, my parents and I are going to the cemetery to visit my sister, will you come with us?" Seeing his reaction, Nora was overjoyed and hurried to throw out the question.

Liam was still in silence.

However, Rita took the initiative to get down from his arms and said, "You guys talk, I go upstairs by myself."

She was thinking that taking the initiative by herself was better than being driven down by them.

Rita bit her lip and walked upstairs slowly step by step.

Even though she was so painful that she went sweaty on her forehead, she didn't even stop. She gritted her teeth and walked to the second floor step by step, and returned to her room.

When she closed the door, her back was already soaked.

At this time, she was suffering from the extremely pain in her left leg. Her body was shaking uncontrollably, and her face was as pale as paper.

At the same time, downstairs.

Seeing Rita went upstairs, Nora smiled out of complacency.

She stepped forward and stretched out her hand to pull Liam's arm, "Liam, are you going?"

After all, Joey was still his weakness, he couldn't deny it.

However, what he didn't expect was that he had forgotten that today was the memorial day of her.

A guilt surged up in his heart. And when he looked at Nora again, he looked more gentle and said, "Wait for a few minutes, I will get something."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Nora nodded repeatedly with her eyes turning red, watching him walk to the second floor.

When his back disappeared at the turning corner, she smiled in triumph.

Compared with that dead woman, Rita who was disabled was nothing!

She just simply mentioned the dead woman, and the guilt that Liam had for Rita disappeared. This was enough to prove everything!

Nora was thinking that Rita was so tragic.

She couldn’t beat the dead woman even if she had proven her innocent.

Perhaps being happy, Nora sat on the sofa and waited.

And Liam went into the second bedroom, opened the drawer and took the star-shaped necklace, as well as the last photo of Joey.

He stuffed these into his pocket, turned his head and walked downstairs, but when he passed Rita's room, he couldn't help but stop.

He raised his hand, trying to knock on the door, but he drew back his hand after a few seconds and then put it down, and finally left without knocking.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard that something suddenly fell to the floor in the room.

Immediately, Rita's forbearing muffled sound came from inside.

Liam was afraid that Rita was in trouble and he opened the door and walked in.

Inside the door, Rita was lying on the ground. Her whole body was hurting so badly that she curled up in pain.

Seeing this scene, Liam felt so pitiful in his heart and walked forward quickly, "Rita?"

"Don't! Don't touch me." Rita bit her lip to refuse his touch. She lay on the ground and felt slowly eased a little. Then she gritted her teeth, got up from the ground and said, "I'm okay. You just leave."

Liam glanced at her knees that had been swollen, and frowned.

He leaned over to pick her up, but the things of his pocket suddenly slipped off.

In this way, the photos of Joey fell in front of Rita. When she looked at the gentle woman in the photo, Rita's face turned pale in an instant, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

She turned her face away with her eyes red in order not to see the photo of Joey. And she was stunned for a few seconds when she saw the star-shaped necklace.

Then trembling violently, she picked up the necklace and looked up at Liam, "You still keep this necklace?"

He gave an affirmative reply and didn’t want to say anything more with a sense of heaviness.

Rita's small face was shocked and sad, and all kinds of self-deprecating emotions showed on her pale face.

"It's time to return to the original owner!" Rita said, with the bitterness in her eyes turned into the coldness. And she raised her hand and threw the necklace into the trash can.

When Liam saw the relics of Joey being discarded so casually, his face went gloomy immediately. He was so angry, like a terrible storm.

He knitted his eyebrows and shouted, "Pick it back!"

“No!” Rita refused in a cold voice.

"Don't let me say it twice, pick it up!" Liam narrowed his eyes with her expression full of danger.

Regardless of what happened back then and how wronged she was, but Joey died!

The deceased should be respected. Liam couldn't understand why she use the deceased's relics to vent her anger.

Looking at each other, Rita was not afraid. She stood up straight and shook his head resolutely, "No! I won't pick it up! This necklace is mine, and I have the right to deal with it!"

"This is my right to stop you!"

"Liam, you have no right to stop me!"

Liam was angry with his face gloomy, but he heard the whole sentences from Rita’s mouth, he was astonished.

He held the shoulders of the hysterical woman in front of him and asked in disbelief, "What did you say? This necklace, this necklace is yours?"
