Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 230

“Hello?”

The hoarse voice of Rita came through the phone, and she sounded like she just woke up.

Jacob jolted.

Well… Kaleb, who had been protecting her secretly, had said she was shopping, right?

Buy why did she sound she had fallen asleep?

“Stay still girl. You just lied on my arm, and it is numb now. It hurt when you move around.”

Jacob’s mind wandered, then the moans of Nathan came out from the speaker.

Jacob was shocked.

His arm was numb?

She and Nathan…

Damn, what happened between them?

Why did he feel she had two-timed Liam?

So she was having an affair with Nathan?

Thinking of Liam, Jacob peeped at Liam sitting across him.

Then he was frightened by his angry face.

His eyes glinted with jealousy, and he looked like he wanted to completely destroy this city.

Unnerved, Jacob swallowed hard when he sensed Liam’s rage.

He should not have called Rita just now!!

What, what should he do?

When Jacob was in a state of panic, Rita spoke again.

“Sorry.”

But she was speaking to Nathan instead of Jacob.

She had been too sleepy, so she fell asleep in the taxi.

Then she had fallen into slumber and her head fell on Nathan’s shoulder, but she was unaware of that.

Though it was a bit awkward, she did not take it to the heart but gave a smile.

Then she moved slightly to another side, with her pink lips parted again. “Jacob?”

“Yeah…” thank God you can think of me.

Jacob answered. Under the stare of Liam, he finally asked her the question that Liam was concerning. “Where are you? Is it convenient for you to talk? I, I’ve heard someone around you?” A man!

Rita felt something went wrong when she heard Jacob said that carefully.

“Nothing, it’ OK. What’s the matter?”

“Didn’t you ask me to remind you secretly when Emma and Liam have contact?”

Asked by Rita, Jacob was a little confused at first, then he brought up Emma quickly.

Hearing that, Rita had a look at her screen, which showed it was eleven p.m. now.

“Now?”

“Yeah.”

“It’s eleven now. What kind of emergency it is that she has to find Liam?”

“Not an emergency. She said she was afraid that the report of the overseas task was not detailed enough, so she needed to report to Liam in private.”

Jacob was quite skilled at embellishing a story.

It was Liam who called Emma to come, but what Jacob had said implied that Emma was coming to Liam intentionally.

With some unknown reason.

Then who wouldn’t suspect that Emma was coming to Liam for something else?

Besides, in Rita’s back life, Emma had been trying every trick in the book to sleep with Liam.

So Rita was not sleepy at all after she heard that.

“They are staying together now? Without others?”

Liam’s dark face started to brightened when he found she got anxious through her voice.

Quiet, Liam still let Jacob continue to improvise.

Jacob glanced at Liam who was still sitting at his seat, not showing any emotions. He could not know what Liam was thinking.

So he had to describe their “secret meeting” to Rita by himself.

“No.”

“They must be thirsty after talking, go serve them a cup of tea.”

“That’s all?” Jacob blinked in a puzzlement.

“Find an excuse to stay there and wait for me to come!”

“You…” will come?

Jacob had not finished his question, but Rita had hung up the phone, only leaving him with the beep of busy line.
