Getting remarried?
The man's tone sounded calm, but Rita knew that he wouldn’t allow her to refuse him.
After a few moments of silence, she then opened her mouth, “...No.”
Once the sound fell, there was a sudden dead silence in the room.
Almost at the same time, Liam’s face sank, the coldness under his eyes tumbled like a lion who’s hungry for ten days, as if instantly she would be devoured completely, no bones left.
Feeling the man's powerful sense of oppression, Rita was panicked.
To stay calm, she was busy looking down and away from the man's eyes, “Liam, There is no way I would remarry you, just forget it, I...”
Before she could finish her sentence, her wrist, which was clutched by Liam, hurt violently, and she could not help but cried out.
Looking at her little face that was wrinkled with pain, Liam's hand abruptly loosened.
But soon he cupped her chin again, forcing her to look at himself again, and said coldly, “It's not up to you.”
It had to be done.
He would not give her another choice.
Liam took her into his arms and walked out.
Rita had learned his dominance.
She soon understood that he was trying to take her by force to get remarried.
But she can’t.
Not this day, she more important things to do.
Rita reached out and tried to push him away, but the more she struggled the greater the force of the man's confinement. A purple mark was left on her wrists, “Liam, let go of me, let go!”
“I’ll let go of you after we get remarried.”
His stubbornness, at this moment, made Rita feel helpless, tears almost fell down, “Liam, something happened to my family. My Dad was arrested, Grandma Amelia fainted, my mother is now at her wits end, I am now going to the police station to see my Dad.”
Hearing this, Liam stopped.
It's not because he cared about what happened to the Brown family.
It’s because he heard the helplessness in Rita's voice, and with it, his heart softened once again.
She had become his weakness after all.
Abruptly, he let go of her, and gave in with reluctance, “I'll go with you.”
Rita was surprised by Liam’s compromise.
For a second, she thought she had misheard it.
He would go with her?
So, was he... giving in?
Once, no one could change what Liam decided, and now he's making concessions for her.
Rita raised her eyes to look at him, and her heart rippled.
It was only then that she realized that Liam had already loved her so much.
“Let’s go.”
When the man's low voice came to her ears, she snapped back to her senses.
She originally didn’t want Liam to involve the Brown family’s affairs, but when she looked at his face, she pursed her lips and swallowed all her reluctance back.
She felt that if she dared to refuse him again, he would definitely explode.
If she pissed him off, not to mention visiting her parents, all her plans for the rest of the day would come to an end.
Just forgetting it...
Taking a deep breath, she followed him at a fast pace.
Because of the argument just now, both of them, however, remained silent.
