Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 142

Rita didn't get a reply from Liam. She raised her head to look at him and found that his eyes were closed.

Could he fell asleep that fast?

She knew he was just pretending so that he could avoid the subject.

But inevitably, they had to divorce no matter he wanted to or not.

She wriggled out of his embrace. Standing by the bed, she looked down at Liam. “Have the documents ready the day I return. We’ll end this quick.”

Still, Liam gave no reply. Fretful, Rita raised her brows.

She moved her eyes away from Liam to the desk, and plucked a pen to start drawing on a pad.

She was gradually aware of how important power was after the trauma that happened to her family.

Only with power could she protect the people she cared. Only with power could she safeguard herself from schemes and conspiracies.

So she practiced once she was free, grasping every possible chance to better herself.

Engrossed in her practice, Rita didn't notice that Liam had opened his eyes. He looked at her, his face complex.

She drew, he watched, silent but peaceful.

A while later, the hall sudden became raucous.

“Hurry, or we won’t get a seat in the front row.” Outside Rita’s dorm, a girl urged her friend.

But her friend didn't seem to care at all.

“It’s just a lecture, what’s the big deal about it? The only thing that I care now is when Oliver will come back. I haven’t seen him for half an month.

“Don’t you know yet? Oliver dropped out. His family came to run the procedure a few days ago.

Rita’s hand paused when she heard the girls’ conversation.

Oliver dropped out?

Why?

Is it because…

“Why did he drop out? Who told you that.” One girl asked.

“My uncle’s a teacher here, he mentioned it two days ago when I went to his home.” The other girl looked around. When she found no one in their sight, she continued. “Some says that it’s because Oliver falls in love with a girl. But his family won’t allow him to be with her, so they restrain him at home.”

Rita had it right.

The Roberts didn’t support Oliver’s relationship with the girl he liked, so they had him dropped out of school to stop him from the girl.

It seemed Oliver had been sincere to his relationship with this girl this time. Otherwise, his family wouldn’t have done so much to stop them.

Rita would never expect a boy who always had the game face like Oliver would be so committed to a girl.

She hoped that Oliver and the girl could make it through.

She made her wish to them silently.

Meanwhile, Liam pressed his lips into a tight line as he watched her drifting off. “You care about that so much?”

“What?” His question came out of the blue, Rita was confused.

“Oliver.” The man said.

“Oh, well… sort of. “of course she would care about her friends.

But her answer filled Liam with jealousy. “It seems you are close to each other.” He pretended that he was only asking a casual question.
