Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 47

Divorce agreement!

That’s what the fuss was all about?

His hand coiled into a fist, wrinkling the paper.

Then the door was open and Rita sat in the car.

Rudely, Liam grabbed at her shirt and dragged her to his face, gazing at her. “This is what you want me to talk about?”

He waved the paper in his hand, his eyes cold like a sharp knife.

Rita was a little terror-struck.

“Right.” She answered, nodding.

“Say it again!” suddenly, Liam’s face was extremely dark.

The atmosphere in the small space of the car froze. At that moment, Rita felt suffocated.

“Liam.” Confronting him, Rita mustered the courage to open her mouth. “If you are worrying that grandpa might not be able to accept the new. Sign the agreement first and I promise that I won’t tell him and pretend that we’re still married in front of him.”

Liam kept his dark face, no word.

Rita took his silence as consent. “No worries. We need each other’s help after all. I will honor our deal for my parents, if it’s not for me.”

To signify her attitude, she added.

Then she looked to Liam with eyes filled with expectation. “So, Liam, sign it and we divorce.”

The word divorce was like a match, lighting the fuse of Liam’s anger.

“You wish!”

He shoved her away.

Falling back to her seat, Rita trimmed her hair, asked in a strange calm tone. “Why? Why can’t you let go of me.”

Why?

Her question seemed to trigger something inside Liam.

At that moment, his facial expression was complicated.

“Isn’t our divorce what you have long expected? Now I’m giving it to you, why won’t you sign it?” Rita raised her head abruptly, asked agitatedly.

“Because you owe me a life.”Liam said slowly, his eyes dead when he looked at Rita. “Don’t you think of divorce until you pay your debt.”

His coldness hurt Rita a lot.

This feeling almost drove her crazy.

Ever since her rebirth, she had been building her defense mechanism, telling her to let go of this man, to not let him affect her.

But still, his words sometime would destroy her defense like magma melting iron.

“There is a lot to be questioned about what happened that year. Isabelle will give herself away soon if press on her a little more. And you will see that I was framed.”

She yelled at Liam. “Liam Wilson, I owe you nothing! I’m innocent! I have nothing to do with Joey’s death.

The assertiveness in her eyes shocked Liam.

He felt like Rita was no longer the woman he used to know. She’s a totally different person under the same skin.

Her eyes, her character…

Towering over Rita, Liam lifted her chin, said coldly. “But until the truth is known, you are still a suspect.”

His voice was deadly freezing and gave Rita goose bumps.

She slapped his hand away angrily. “So, if I find the evidence to prove my innocence, you will sign the agreement? Is that so? Will you give me back my freedom?”
