Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 69

"We will go through the divorce formalities in a year." Liam said slowly. Rita was obviously stunned.

‘What? One year later? How can this work!’

She worked hard to find evidence, just for divorce and get rid of the predicament!

Now he wanted her to wait. She couldn't do it!

Although she resisted in her mind, she still asked rationally, "Why?"

"Grandfather's health is very bad recently. The doctor said that if he takes good care of it, he can only live one year. So..." Liam paused, and looked at Rita.

In the prior life, Grandpa Jim was nice to her. Naturally, she also regarded him as her own grandfather.

Therefore, when Liam mentioned these, she was caught as if a snake was hit where it hurt!

All of a sudden, her refusal changed abruptly. "So, you want me to divorce you first, and play a loving couple in front of my grandfather, so that Grandpa Jim can pass away without any worry?"

"Yes." Liam nodded and added, "As long as you promise, when we divorce in a year, I will divide 30% of my property to you as compensation."

"Grandpa Jim treats me well. It's my duty to repay him. So, there's no need to compensate me." She looked up at Liam. "Except for these, anything else?"

"... No." Liam shook his head.

"Then, sign it." Rita once again brought things back on track.

Liam looked at her delicate face and felt slightly. He pinched the divorce agreement hard unconsciously.

He picked up the carbon pen. After a long pause, he signed his name.

When she got the divorce agreement, Rita smiled brightly and said, "Thank you."

‘Thank you?’ These two words hurt him. He clenched hands once again. His heart was full of self mockery.

‘How could he match these two words. He didn't deserve it.

He had been looking forward to divorce. But today as he signed the agreement, he was not as happy as he imagined, but a little heavy-hearted.

After negotiation, Rita put away the divorce agreement, and limped to her bed on the floor.

"Rita!" All of a sudden, Liam’s low voice came behind her. She stopped and looked at him in doubt. "Well?"

"You can sleep on bed in the future."

He changed their quilt and then slept on the floor.

Seeing this, Rita was obviously stunned.

But soon, she was indifferent again.

They slept with their backs to each other. Soon Rita fell asleep, while Liam lost sleep again on the ground.

He looked at the thin Rita on the bed with mixing feelings.

***

The next day. In the school.

Rita came to school as usual.

She still chose a seat in an corner. As soon as she sat down, she heard the two in front of her commented, "Did you see the video about Charlotte in our school forum?"

‘Charlotte?’ Hearing the name, Rita’s hand with the textbook paused.

"You mean that she kneeled down?" Another girl said, and then sneered. "Well, if it wasn't for watching the video, I really couldn't imagine that she wears the innocent face but do such dirty things!"

"As the saying goes, you may know a person’s face, but not his mind."

Hearing the conversation between the two people, Rita's eyes were full of confusion.

‘What video of Charlotte?’

She took out her mobile phone and logged into the school forum curiously.

Then, she saw a very active video with high hits on the home page. It was called "True colors of the campus belle".

She put on her headphones and turned on the video.

First came out a black screen, and then came a woman's hoarse voice. " It was all because I lost my head and was abetted to frame Rita, which killed Joey. It was all my fault!"

This was the sound of Charlotte! And it was that day she kneeled on the ground to beg for mercy.

At this time, someone suddenly appeared on the mobile phone in black screen.

At first, the video was very vague. She could only see one woman kneeling on the ground.

Next second, the camera suddenly zoomed. The woman's face in the video was extremely clear. Not only could she see Charlotte, but she even could see the tears on her face!

"It was all my fault! I was wrong. I was wrong."

In the video, Charlotte kneeled on the ground and murmured.

Seeing this, Rita was surprised.

‘How can these things appear in the school forum? Who recorded it? Who uploaded it? What's the purpose?

All the problems crowded her mind. She couldn't help frowning.

She quickly clicked on the poster. The poster named "please call me a good man". She wanted to see other information about the poster, but found that this ID only published this one post.

‘Who sent this...post?’

As Rita was confused, suddenly the little girl in front of her pushed the red haired girl. "Louisa，talk of the devil and she comes.”

"You did so many things and have the courage to come to school. You’re really thick skinned." The girl named Louisa looked up at Charlotte who entered the classroom. Her eyes were full of satire.

"Yes, it's shameless." The little girl followed.
