Although Liam took a break in the car, he was still sleepy.
Rita asked Lee to drive him home.
She thought he could get some sleep at home, but Liam was upset.
He grew ice-cold immediately, which unnerved others in the car. “You don’t want to stay with me?”
Rita was surprised when she met his eyes.
She pinched her lips, thinking about how to respond. And Jacob held his breath when he saw Liam was scowling.
Damn it!
Why hadn’t he got off the car just now?
Why was he so unfortunate to appear every time when they were about to have a fight?
Liam was about to lose his mind ever since Rita had broken up with him.
Therefore, he was the one who got into the trouble every time when he and Liam met Rita.
Then Liam would vent his anger on him.
If she refused, Liam might want to eat him and Lee alive.
He could say that Rita was in control of their lives now.
‘My goodness.’ Jacob thought.
He could even kowtow to her if she did not annoy Liam.
Jacob stared at Rita with bated breath.
Rita thought for a while and lifted her eyes to look at Lee. “Lee, please drive us to my apartment in the Southern Area.”
“OK.”
Lee kept nodding his head.
In the meantime, Jacob, whose nerves were stretched to breaking point, glanced at Liam secretly.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief after he found Liam no longer scowled.
He was safe now, thank God.
Liam and Rita returned to the apartment at noon.
Although Liam had a rest in the car, he was still lack of sleep.
He closed the door of Rita’s bedroom and lay down on her bed.
Rita found he was exhausted, so she eased her way to put a blanket over him. Then she went to the bathroom.
When she walked out, she saw he was looking at her tiredly.
She was bemused. “Why don’t you sleep?”
“I’m waiting for you.” Speaking, he moved up to make the space for her.
A pink flush spread over her pretty face because of the explicit invitation. “I’m not tired.”
“But I am, and I want you to stay with me.”
Liam said gently. He tapped on the bed with his slender hand and signaled her to come closer.
But she stayed motionless. Then he raised his eyebrows. “Sweetie, if you need me to carry you to the bed, then it’s not just sleeping.” He would not control himself anymore.
And he would definitely ask for more.
His eyes glittered with desire when he sat on her bed and spoke to her.
She felt her cheeks flushed red when she realized what he was insinuating.
Why did she weaken and ask him to come home with her?
Wasn’t she leading herself into a trap?
Was it too late to regret?
But it seemed that she could not ask him to leave now.
Under the stare of Liam, Rita no longer resisted. She lay down next to him quickly.
Liam kissed her on her cheeks, smiling. “Good girl.”
Good girl?
That was because he forced her to go to the bed!
Though Rita was disgruntled, she still did not dare to display her feelings.
There were only Liam and her. She was afraid that he would want to have sex with her because of something she said. Then she might not be able to withstand.
Maybe because he was too tired, he fell asleep very soon.
But someone continued to knock on the door.
And her phone began to rang.
Rita looked at the screen and found it was Michael.
But, Michael?
Why would he call her at this moment?
No matter what he wanted to do, she still did not want to answer the phone when she thought of what he had done to the Brown family, so she hung up directly.
Liam squinted his eyes when he saw Rita looked sullen. “Who is it?”
“Nothing. Just a salesman.”
She made up an excuse in order not to bother him.
Then she received a message.
It was from Michael.
And the message was quite brief: “Rita, I know you are here, open the door!”
Liam happened to saw the message when he lowered his head.
His eyes crinkled when he saw Michael’s name.
Last night, he found something went wrong with her telephone. And then the crystal chandelier fell from the ceiling when Michael and Rita were about to left the restaurant. At that time, he suspected that Michael was threatening Rita.
Then he checked Michael’s recent calls list.
And he was right. It was Michael who called Rita that night.
Therefore, the one who threatened her was also Michael.
Liam planned to deal with Michael after he handled the current situation. But he did not expect Michael would come here.
Fine.
Liam sat up and got off the bed immediately. “I’m going to see him. Stay here.”
Rita held her breath when he got out of the bed impassively.
She had a presentiment of disaster…
