Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 40

Rita looked at the man in the car, blinking. Her face was full of dismay.

The man cast a glance at her and looked back ahead, saying calmly, "Yesterday we came in your POIO. I didn't drive."

"What?" Hearing this pointless remark, Rita was very puzzled.

"How could I go back when you took the car?" Liam threw a sentence once again, then she finally understood.

The man was just on his way.

'Well, on his way.'

'But ... was the Wilson family short of cars?'

Although there were many explanations that didn’t make sense, Rita didn’t think much.

She now gave herself a clear set, so she would never have any illusions about what she should not dream, because she did not want the things turned out to be her own wishful thinking again.

"Why do you want to go back home so suddenly? What happened?" Seeing that she didn’t reply, Liam inquired.

"Grandma told me to go back and talk about something." Rita answered truthfully, turning her face towards the window, and looking at the scenery along the way.

"Rare."

Suddenly the man laughed.

He’s always saying something pointless that Rita had almost been accustomed to.

She began to follow his way of thinking, wondering what did he mean.

Thinking about it, she realised he meant the fact that Amelia Miller asked her to return home to discuss things was rare.

She spread her hand, "I've been used to the Brown family’s snobbishness. I wouldn't feel strange, much less fuss."

The whole Brown family, except her parents, was cold-blood.

Her view had never changed in her previous life or in her present life.

If it wasn't for Mom and Dad, she wouldn't have saved her family.

Rita’s remarks about the Brown family made Liam shocked. Seeing her expressionless face, he frowned.

He had never known her, nor the Brown family.

He just knew her family was strict. Since Rita married him, her grandmother renounced her.

At that point, he felt angry that he would not blame the Brown family for doing so.

But now thinking about it, it's actually a kind of cruelty for Rita.

***

Around the Brown family, Rita had seen her mother Zoe Duncan waiting outside at a distance. As soon as the car pulled up, she quickly got out of the car," Mom, why are you standing here?"

"Waiting for you." Zoe was certainly happy to see her daughter, completely forgetting how cold it was.

"Mom, it's cold outside. Come on, let's get inside." Rita felt worse when seeing Zoe’s red nose, pulling her mother toward the room, completely forgetting the man behind.

It was Zoe who found Liam, then she stopped.

"Liam?"

Liam politely nodded, "Mom."

This voice made Rita froze with shock.

She looked back at the man behind her with shock.

'Mom?'

'He said Mom?'

'Hadn’t he disdained to contact with her family?'

'Today, why was he so friendly and even greeted her mom?'

Recently, the man behaved more and more abnormally, and sometimes even made her confused.

"Well, well..." Zoe was so overwhelmed that her eyes went slightly red. For a moment she even did not know what to say."

Thinking for a long time, she hastened to ask, "Liam, it’s ... it’s you who sent Rita over?"

"Yes."

After the two short questions, the two people were merely left to look at each other because they were unfamiliar.

To avoid embarrassment, Zoe started, "Liam, since you’ve come, come in and have lunch with us."

Rita frowned.

She hastily held her mother's hand, saying with a smile, "Mom, Liam is very busy. He may be not available for the lunch."
