Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 146

After parting ways with Lillian, Rita didn’t choose to leave the hotel hurriedly but went to the roof top.

So much had happened overnight, so she got to find a place to clear her mind.

Not in her wildest dreams had Rita thought that the friendship that she valued the most in this lifetime would hurt her this much.

It really hurts so much.

She started trembling uncontrollably out of the sheer pain in her already broken heart.

Soft breezes blew through the roof top. There were tears dropping to the ground from the girl’s face.

In the meantime, Liam was standing behind her and stared at her lovingly with sorrow.

But he didn’t step forward and console her.

He just stood by her side, let her calm herself down and deal with the fact that some people in her life were destined to leave.

Twenty minutes later, the girl who was standing by the roof top finally moved.

Seeing that she had cleared her mind and was about to go downstairs, Liam’s icy eyes immediately brightened up.

Putting his jacket on her gently, Liam asked lowly, “Hospital or school? I’ll send you back.”

“We were both drugged last night and got carried away, so...” Rita then stopped mid-sentenced and looked at Liam. “Forget it.”

Eyes met, they both said nothing.

Recollecting her thoughts, Rita went downstairs wearily.

She left Liam behind, so she didn’t see how depressed he was when she left.

Because of Lillian’s trick, their already estranged relationship just took a worse turn. Rita was even more indifferent to Liam to the point that she would avoid meeting him.

Though she said that they should forget about what had happened, both of them cared about it in effect.

She was actually more afraid that this accident would give Liam unrealistic illusion, so she chose to nip this thought in the bud directly.

Smart as Liam must have figured out her meaning.

The two didn’t see each other for a while and soon it was time for Rita to go on that business trip to Country C.

A black and luxurious Porsche pulled up at the Browns early in the morning.

Liam then got off the car gracefully.

The shadow of Liam’s tall and muscular figure covered Rita who was holding a suitcase.

Glancing at the surprised Rita with his dark eyes, he finally landed his sight on Zoe who was next to Rita.

“Mother.”

“Yeah, yeah.” Zoe answered hurriedly and let out a confused smile, “Liam, are you... are you driving Rita to the airport?”

“No.” Liam smiled.

Hearing his words, Rita took a sigh of relief secretly.

She didn’t really care what he was doing here as along as he wasn’t here to meet her.

Zoe then got more bewildered.

“Then you are...”

“I’ll go with her.” While speaking, Liam stooped and took the suitcase from Rita.

Rita was obviously taken aback.

‘Did Liam have to go with them?”

But she remembered that Liam was not in the list of business trip this time.

For she was afraid to get along with Liam, she specifically inquired the colleague of human resource department after she got back from the hotel and confirmed that Jacob was the main in-charge of the team.

“What are you waiting for? Get on the car!” Rita’s back was suddenly nudged by Zoe’s elbow while she was still wondering.

She then lost balance and plunged right into Liam’s arms.

Rita’s face turned all rosy because of the body touch. She hurriedly balanced herself and tried to break herself away from Liam, but Liam’s big hands just naturally grabbed her back.

“Let go of me.” Glancing at the long fingers wrapping her waist, Rita said coldly.

Noting that Rita was in a bad mood, Zoe was greatly concerned inside.

Because she didn’t know what exactly happened, she just assumed that Rita had betrayed Liam and fell in love with someone else.

Though she doted on her daughter, she wouldn’t spoil her on everything.

As a parent, she got to make sure that Rita wouldn’t take the wrong path on this sort of things.

While thinking this inside, Zoe rolled her eyes at Rita to warn her to stop moving.

Then she looked at Liam and smiled, “Liam, I feel more assured knowing that you will go with Rita now.”

“Don’t worry, mom. I will take good care of Rita.” Liam then looked at Rita affectionately.

Zoe can obviously tell from her experience that Liam was really in love with Rita.

The sincerer Liam was, the worse Zoe felt inside.

Zoe then glanced at Rita apprehensively and came up with an excuse to distract Liam, “Oaky, Liam, why don’t you load Rita’s suitcase onto the car first?”

Liam naturally figured out that Zoe wanted say something to Rita in private.

Seeing that Liam had ignored her rejection, Rita stopped saying anything further.

Because she knew that she can never wake up someone who was pretending to be asleep.

It was at this moment that she realized that she had to have a closure with Liam. Liam would only feel that there was room for maneuvering if she just kept stalling.

Taking a deep breath, Rita looked at Liam seriously, “Liam.”

“What?” Sensing that she was being weird, Liam sat up straight.

“We have four hours till we board the airplane, so we still get plenty of time. Let’s just get a divorce.” Rita said the words seriously.

Hearing her words, Liam clutched at the milk box.

“I really don’t love you anymore.” Rita continued her words amid dead silence. “Liam, please get a divorce with me. Let’s just end this marriage that is wrong at first.”

Liam’s face got all darkened.

Did she just want to divorce him this badly?

She even used the word “Please”.

Looking at Rita, Liam remembered what his grandpa told him before he passed away...

‘If Rita doesn’t want to forgive you and really wants to leave the Wilsons, just let her go and don’t force her.”

“You still can’t forgive me?” Liam asked Rita.

“It’s all over now. I’ve moved on and don’t love you anymore.” Rita said honestly.

“You just have to get a divorce, right? Are you sure about this?” Liam said in a coarse and deep voice.

“Yes.”

Liam knitted his eyebrows and asked, “You won’t regret this?”

“I won’t regret it.” Rita answered without hesitation.

Hearing her answer, Liam grasped the milk box even harder. He can instantly feel the awful pain on his fingers that was caused by the hot milk.

He was trying to avoid the divorce constantly, but it seemed like that there was no way to escape today.

He can tell that she was determined to leave him just like when she fell in love with him before.

It was futile to try to keep her.

If he forced her to stay, she would be more painful and would just hate him more.

Well, he would rather himself to be the one who was suffering.

“Okay then.” Liam recollected his thought and spoke to the driver, “Do what she said, let’s take a detour and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.”
