Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 131

Liam put some ointment on Rita’s wound. To avoid any contact with him, Rita closed her eyes and pretended having fell asleep.

The room became silent. There was only the sound of Liam’s peeling an apple.

“Have an apple ?”

Rita heard his words but she didn’t move at all.

Liam seemed to realize she had fell asleep, so he didn’t continue.

Playing possum was really helpful, Rita thought.

Liam might go way after he waited for a long time.

Then she could breathe a sigh with relief.

When she was sniggering covertly, someone got closer to her and puffed his breath on her cheeks, “Rita.”

Rita was jolted and opened her eyes at once. Then she met his deep eyes.

She was so close to him that she even felt his temperature.

Her eyes rounding, she wanted to push him away immediately. But her hands were pinned down on the bed by Liam, “Grandpa is outside.”

Liam stared at her and flicked a glance at the window meaningfully.

Rita found Jim was standing outside watching them, then the anger in her eyes changed to anxiety, “When did he…”

“Sorry.”

She did not finish her words, but she was interrupted by Liam. She lifted her eyes with puzzle, “What…”

Rita laid stiffly when she felt his warm lips touched her.

She was to give him a push, but Jim was watching them, so she just glared at him and whispered, “Just pretend we’re kissing, you…”

Liam was simply touching her lips at first. But when she opened her mouth, he slid his tongue into her mouth.

Rita looked at Liam with a scowl.

She pretended to encircle his waist with her arms affectionately. Then she gave him a pinch secretly, “Let go!”

Liam felt the pain and paused.

Rita took the chance to push him away and turned her face, pretending being shy, “Stop that, I want to sleep now.” But she was complaining in her mind, ‘What a jerk! How shameless! Rascal!”

In the meantime, Jim smiled with contentment after he saw they were flirting.

He coughed on purpose to remind them he was here, then he came in, “Rita, I come to visit you.”

“Jim, hello.”

Rita turned around at once and greeted him sweetly.

“Stop, just stay there.” Jim stopped her when he saw she was to get up.

When he saw Rita’s waist swelled up, he felt tears pricked his eyes. “You’ve suffered a lot.”

“Jim, it’s okay now. I’m not severely hurt.” Rita gave him a bright smile.

But Jim was sadder when he saw how thoughtful she was.

He knew Rita did not want to worry him.

Then he stopped frowning and stroked her hairs. “I want to make sure you are alright. And I’m relieved now. Okay, have a rest. I’m coming home.”

Jim stood up and glanced at his grandson, “Liam, help me walk to my car.”

“OK.”

Liam replied. Then he held Jim’s arm and left the room.

When the door was closed, the expression on Jim’s face suddenly changed, “I’ve heard that Rita went to Country M but it was someone’s plot?”

“Right.”

“I don’t allow anyone to hurt my family. They should suffer the consequences whether they did this on purpose or not.” Jim sniffed, “Deal them.”

“I know.”

Jim left the hospital after Liam promised him.
