Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 216

Rose had been dragged out.

Rita’s eyes rested on Amelia’s side.

But she was looking at Ted instead of Amelia. “Ted, are you free?”

“Miss Rita… what do you want me to do?” Ted jolted, not understanding what she meant.

Rita smiled, “Could you do me a favor?”

“Well…”

Ted worried it would be a trap because she asked him politely, and he did not dare to take it.

But as a servant, he could not turn her down in front of others, so he asked permission from Amelia who was sitting on the couch. “Mrs. Miller, may I…”

“Rita is also the Browns. Do whatever she wants you to do. No need to ask my advice.”

At Amelia’s words, Ted knew he should agree. “Miss Rita, how can I help you?”

“Well, nothing difficult. Just help me to slap Rose for fifty times.” Rita turned her face, and her dark eyes fell on Rose who was kneeling in the garden.

“But…”

“What? Is it difficult for you, Ted?” Rita frowned when she saw Ted hesitate.

Ted shook his head. “No, Miss Rita, I will try my best to do as you want. It’s not difficult, not at all.”

Not a bit.

He was glad to do her this favor.

As Master Mason’s wife, Rose had always been a bully who would vent her anger on the servants whenever she was upset.

And Ted was the one who fell victim for the most of the time.

The other day, Rose had thrown a cup of tea at him because the tea he served was hot, and there were still blisters on his hand and his body now.

He had had to endure her insolence before because he was nothing but a butler, but now –

Why would he turn down Rita’s request now that he could get even with Rose for that?

He would help Rita to slap her, and he would do this with all his strength.

Rita knew what he was thinking.

She had stood upstairs when Rose threw the hot beverage at him.

Though Ted did not say anything, he had been clenching his fists behind his back.

She thought he must be disgruntled.

The more disgruntled he got by Rose, the more ruthless would he be when he hit Rose.

So she picked Ted to do this, and she did not need to worry that Amelia would let Rose off easily.

Rita stopped thinking and smiled at Ted. “Thanks, Ted.”

“You’re welcome.” I’m very grateful that you give me this opportunity.

Ted said the second sentence in his head.

At Rita’s command, he walked out and came to Rose.

“Son of bitch! You hurt me. Hurry – let go of me.”

He approached and heard Rose curse loudly.

Frowning, Ted shot a glance at the two servants who were pinning Rose down and pretended to be upset. “What’s your problem? How could you be so rude to Mrs. Brown?”

“Ted, it’s very nice of you.”

“But it is the old lady who gives the order, so we have to make a show to please Rita and Liam. Am I right, Mrs. Brown?”

Ted managed to convince her, and she agreed after she thought for a while. “Then, be gentle.”

“Relax, I will be gentle…” like hell he would.

Ted replied with a smile but hit her with all of his strength.

Smack.

Rose’s head buzzed and her face were numb after the smack.

“Ted, you rat bastard! How dare you smack so hard! You… Agh!” There was another heavier smack.

Ted was offended by her.

The louder she cursed, the heavier he slapped.

Smack –

One, two…

After six smacks, there was blood oozing from the corner of her lips, and her cheeks were badly swollen.

Inside, Rita saw the miserable Rose and remained unmoved.

Amelia also saw this scene and she felt pity for Rose, but she did not dare to beg for her.

Why was this woman so dumb? So numb that she even was caught by Liam while cursing Rita.

Well.

She’d say Rose was reaping the consequence for that.

And she should blame no one.

Amelia peeped at Liam and broke the silence with a smile. “Liam, aren’t you busy today?”

“No.”

Rita asked, “Then why do you come?”

Sitting on the couch, the man lifted his head and said mildly. “I’m sleepy and want to sleep with you.”

Rita was stupefied by his words.

Sitting next to Rita, Amelia was also speechless.

Annie was choked in shock.

‘Mr. Wilson, do you always go straight to the point when it comes to sex?’ Annie thought.

Rita almost lost it when she heard his shocking words.

‘Darling, could you please finish your sentence?

You came for me to get some sleep because you got insomnia!

Why did it come out of your mouth like a dirty joke?’ Rita complained in her head.

And she was extremely embarrassed when she turned and saw Annie’s knowing smile.

Apparently, Annie got it wrong.

She was not the only one who misunderstood. So did Amelia.

My goodness.

How could she interpret this ambiguous sentence?

“Mrs. Miller, thanks for your invitation. I should go now.” Annie read the room and found an excuse to leave.

Amelia stood up quickly as well. “Sure, I’ll walk you out.”

They went out together and flicked a glance at the couple, sniggering.

Rita was abashed by their sniggering and explained, with her hands waving. “Granma, Annie, listen, it’s not what you look like. Don’t get it wrong.”

Trying to suppress her snigger, Annie said, “No, I don’t. Mrs. Miller and I have been there… we know what you want…”

Amelia nodded.
