“Liam, what did you buy?” smiling, Jacob walked up to Liam and asked.
Liam looked aloof. “What? I have to report to you now?”
Frightened, Jacob shook his head hurriedly.
He poked at the roses lying conspicuously in the back seat, asked. “Liam, you didn't just go to buy these flowers, did you?”
“You got a problem?” Liam said, nonchalance in his voice.
Jacob raised a brow. “Didn’t you say I am tacky? Then why did you still buy flowers?”
Liam paused and turned on his heels, those onyx-like eyes of his fixing on Jacob. “Have you found out who took Nora, where is she now, and who is behind all this?”
“No.” Embarrassed, Jacob said scratching his head.
“Well.” Liam announced curtly, his face turned cold instantly. “Then why are you still here?”
Oh, shit…
Who is he, where is him?
Cam he take back what he has just said.
Jacob zipped his mouth and left to get on his task, not daring to utter another sound.
Liam drove to Rita’s.
Right now in the Brown family.
“Noah, you still have to go to the company today?” Zoe caught his husband heading outside with a coat in his hands as she tried to serve him some porridge.
“A lot of things are happening to the company recently. “ Noah sighed helplessly.
“Dad, that SF thing has not been fixed yet?” Rita barged in. “How incompetent the administration in the SF to not having made a decision yet?”
“They said they’ll fix this in three days, Jason gave his words this morning. But I still have to be in the head office in case that there would be any contingency.”
Seemed like Jason had kept his word and gave Rita her three days.
Then she had to hurry up now.
Whether she could succeed in entering the Brown Group hinged upon this.
Smiling, Rita saw her father off. Before she returned to her room, a black Maybach cruised into her sight.
Soon, Liam got out the car and walked towards her.
But Rita just pretended that she didn't see him and whirled back into her house.
“Rita.”
She had just taken one step forward when Liam grabbed her waist and wrapped her in his arms.
Scowling, Rita announced. “Liam, we are divorced.”
“I know.” Liam nodded, showing no sign of letting go of her.
“Then why are you still hugging me?”
And he was hugging so tightly that she found it difficult to breathe.
Liam’s grip loosened slightly, and then he shifted and embraced Rita in another position. “Law doesn’t say that divorce restrain me from hugging you.”
Rita’s face was complex when she heard Liam say so.
The main point was not hugging but that they had divorced.
What kind of divorced couple would be so intimate?
She lowered her eyes, restlessness flowing in her eyes. “You should cut it clean since you promised to divorce me and let me go, shouldn’t you?”
“I didn't.”
Liam said evenly.
He didn’t? Rita rubbed her forehead miserably.
What were their divorce certificates then?
“I promised to divorce you, but not to cut it clean with you.”
So, he’s playing on words with her?
“Divorce is just a start, so that I can put in everything I have to chase you and love you.” Liam looked down on Rita, resolution and affection in his tone.
For an instant, Rita lost her breath.
