Stunned, Rita felt like her throat was closing in, as she couldn't even utter a noise.
Yes, she was an orphan, with no father and no mother.
But she had her Grandfather Xu, who was the comrade-in-arms of David's grandfather. Grandfather Xu raised her, loved her, helped her finish her studies, and finally married her to a good husband.
Unfortunately, Grandpa Xu had passed away and she had been divorced. Back in Z Country, she had no home, not anymore.
Having seen the grieving expression in Rita's eyes, David regretted what he had said. After a while, he said to her,"Okay, what do you want?"
After all, they were once husband and wife. Even if he did not love her anymore, she was still the woman who his grandfather asked him to marry.
Rita regained her composure. She looked at David. From his expression, Rita knew that he thought she had an ulterior motive. She said with a grim smile,"I want you to get out of my sight right away!"
The only person, her grandfather, who loved her so much was gone. As for the rest of the Xu family, she didn't have any personal connections with them.
"Rita! I'm warning you. Don't push your luck!"
David voiced his fury.
David was not the kind of person who would easily get angry, but this woman knew how to get on his nerves!
"You can calm down. I said that I will abort this child the day after tomorrow, and after that I will have nothing to do with your or the Xu family!"
Rita's words sounded very harsh to David's ears. He sneered,"How do I know if you're telling the truth or not?"
"You don't believe me? Good!"
Rita was not angry instead she just laughed. She put her bag on the table and took out a bottle of medicine from it. She poured herself a glass of cold water and said,"This is the abortion medicine. I originally wanted to have a surgery, but now I think this can also work. Maybe latter I'll just need to arrange a curettage."
Soon, she opened the bottle and put some white-coloured pills on her hand.
Angered by her arrogance, David rushed to her just as she was about to swallow the pills. He knocked them off of her hand, as he cried out,"Rita!"
The bottle fell to the ground and the white pills scattered all over the floor.
Without a conscious thought, Rita knelt down to pick them up.
David kicked the pills away from her and stomped them to dust under his shoes.
David drove Rita stark raving mad, as she yelled,"David, what the hell is the matter with you?"
"What's the matter with me? What's the matter with you! Who gave you the permission to kill my child!"
David's eyes were red, and he was grunting like an angry beast.
Rita was left totally flabbergasted by David. She had never seen David like that before in her life. David had always been a romantic; he had a carefree disposition, and was very considerate of the people he cared about.
However, at the moment, the anger that bled out of David's eyes seemed like it could burn down anything on its path to ashes.
Rita slowly got up and stared back at him, fearlessly, as she said,"Aren't you afraid that I will use the child to extort money from you and your family? It will be perfect for the both of us if we get rid of this kid!"
"I will not allow it!"
David didn't want to believe that Rita would get rid of their child, just to severe her ties with him and his family!
Rita was clearly not a sensible woman!
"Who do you think you are? You're just a piece of shit! Whatever I do, it's none of your damn business!"
It was first time Rita had used such words in front of David and she felt really happy deep down. As for David, his patience had run very thin,"How rude you are!"
"Go away!"
"Rita, if you dare kill this child, you will have to bear the consequences!"
"What are you expecting? You think I should I bring it into the world? !"
"Then do it!"
"David, you are such a bastard!"
Rita couldn't tolerate listening to him anymore. She rushed towards him and started kicking and punching him. She groaned,"I will never give you a baby!"
David didn't fight back, but he looked restless, as he grabbed the other party and asked,"What exactly do you want?"
"I want you to get out of here!"
Rita shoved his hands away and ran back to her room. She knelt down on the floor, crying helplessly.
