Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 227

A tall and formidable figure came close in the light.

There followed a silence in the hall.

Liam’s eyes came across Leyla and fell on Rita.

When he saw she was holding Nathan and Tomas, his eyes narrowed with coldness instantly.

Then it became freezing in the hall at once.

When Rita found Liam kept looking at her hands, she lowered her head subconsciously.

She realized she was still holding their arms, then she released her grasp on their hands immediately.

Seeing that, the killing intent in Liam’s eyes faded in a way.

Other people at their sides did not find they had made eye contact, because they all focused on the fair-skinned and captivating face.

How could he be so attractive?

So attractive… that others would even want to have his children.

Those women who had been standing at side to see what happened had thought Freddy was good-looking enough, but now they found this elegant and noble comer was even more handsome than Freddy.

Much, much more handsome than Freddy.

Staring at the cold figure, the contempt in Leyla’s face turned into affection very soon. “Sir, may I ask who, who you are?”

Liam flicked a glance at her indifferently, with disgust and anger in his eyes.

“The one you’ve had the gossip about, her ex-husband, Liam Wilson.

Leyla turned pale at his words, and she was so scared that she almost kneeled down.

Liam Wilson, the God in F City.

Others like her could only hear his name but could never see him.

How lucky she was that she could see him today.

But…

She had been gossiping about him just now.

Not lucky enough!

She wondered whether Liam would be angry with her talking his gossip.

Biting her lower lip, Leyla peeped at Liam’s look to see if he was mad.

Looking at the man beside him, Freddy also jolted.

Why was Liam here?

And didn’t he sound like he was sticking up for Rita?

Whether Liam was sticking up for Rita or not, Freddy thought they must stop jeering at Rita now that Liam had come.

Unless they felt suicidal.

Smiling, Freddy stepped toward Liam and tried to lighten the mood. “Mr. Wilson, I’m sorry for that. My girlfriend is too childish, and she says things sometimes. If she says anything to upset you, please don’t take it to the heart. She’s just a being foolish.”

At his words, Leyla seemed quite innocent.

And the intentional insult had turned into an accident.

Then Liam should follow his words and pass over Leyla’s rude remark.

Otherwise, others might think Liam was a narrow-minded man who would not let off a childish girl.

“OK.”

Liam replied mildly and then went to Rita.

As he stared at the girl, his thin lips parted, “Babe.”

Babe?

Everyone was stunned by this word.

Then they all looked at Rita with astonishment.

This unfeeling man was so tender towards Rita.

However…

Hadn’t Leyla said that Rita was his ex-wife?

And that he had dumped her?

When those bystanders were still bemused, Liam took Rita’s hands to his mouth and breathed on her hands to keep them warm, speaking gently. “I’m late. Sorry for keeping you waiting for these two minutes. You must be freezing, right? I’m so sorry…”

Rita, Leyla and Freddy were all shocked.

What happened?

Why would Liam treat her in a totally different way?

Leyla could not figure out where went wrong, but she was overwhelmed by that.

Why this perfect man would fall for Rita?

That was not true!

She could not believe it!

Even though she had seen them, she still could not accept that, so she took a step to Liam and said, “Mr. Wilson, haven’t you divorced her?”
