Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 151

Snapped out of muse, Rita looked confused. “What are you doing here?”

Why is he here?

The astonishment in her tone somehow rendered Liam in bitterness.

She doesn’t want to meet me, he thought.

Let her go, give her the freedom that she wants, he once thought. But that decision lasted no longer than just a few days.

That’s why he came here today, to have a pretext to see her.

But he could only hide all the feeling he felt for her deep in his heart no matter how he pined for her.

His expression was customarily cold. “To visit Mr. Brown.”

“Oh…”Rita replied curtly and made way for him.

“How do you feel, Mr. Brown?” Liam walked to Noah’s bed and piled the supplement he bought down on the floor. Gently, he asked. “The doctor said that you mean to check out? But you are not fully recovered yet.”

Though he and Rita had divorced, Liam still treated Noah the same.

More or less, that moved Noah. He talked to Liam casually. “I have been here for over a month. It’s boredom that I suffer now, not pain.”

“But…”

“Don’t worry, Liam. Noah’s much better now. He’s out of any danger, big or small.”

Zoe said, intending to console Liam.

Liam stopped persuading Noah since they both insisted going home.

“I’ll go see why Ted hasn’t come yet.”Rita announced as she tried to leave the ward.

But Zoe halted her when she had just taken one step. “Don’t. He must be stuck in a traffic jam now. It’s going to take him some take to get here.”

“Well, then…”

“Maybe Liam can give us a ride?”

Zoe finished. Her suggestion stunned Rita.

Mom, what are you doing?

You know I divorced Liam.

She saw what her mother was trying to do, smiling; she tried to talk Zoe out of doing so. “Mom, Liam’s got a lot to deal with at his company. He doesn’t have the time for that.”

“How are you going to cram all this stuff in the car when Ted comes?”

Rita took a brief glance at the heap of daily necessities on the floor, wordless.

Zoe turned to Liam while Rita was still at loss. “Liam, are you busy today. Could you give us a ride?”

“Sure. I’m not busy, I’m taking a break today.” Liam smiled politely.

Jacob twitched his mouth when he heard Liam’s answer.

You are not busy?

Then why didn’t you have your lunch first before you came here?

And what about the hill of pending documents on your desk?

You lied so naturally, Liam. I have to give you props for that.

A shadow lured up to Jacob while he was immersed in his own thoughts. “What are you looking? Come and help.”

“Alright.”

At the end, the Browns went home taking Liam’s car.

And Liam had dinner with them at their house.

Everything was the same among them except for that Rita didn't utter a word with Liam.

Her parents really grated her by trying to reconcile her and Liam.

“It’s late now, I think I should leave.” Liam said.

Immediately, Zoe poked at Rita ad urged her. “Go see Liam off.”

Come on…
