Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 70

Looking at Liam, she was surprised. It seemed like a pebble dropped into the still surface of the lake and caused a ripple.

But the waves made her frown again and again.

‘Rita, all he has done is out of guilt. Don't think too much, don't think too much. Don't be silly and flatter yourself like you did in the prior life.

After her thought, Rita forced herself to look away from his face and watched out of the window. "Liam, the sin I suffered is not from Charlotte."

Although Charlotte created difficulties in that accident that year, it was he who really pushed her to hell!

His indifference and disgust towards her were the source of her suffering.

Hearing that, Liam clenched the wheel. He was so clever that he understood her implication.

He looked at the road ahead. His eyes showed guilt. "... Sorry."

Rita turned to watch outside with red eyes. She smiled bitterly. ‘Excuse me?’

He said it twice. Although he said sincerely, it could not release the past and heal hurt.

She didn't speak and watched the scenery outside backwards her.

Because of the silence, the atmosphere in the car was low again.

The car drove fast. They soon arrived at the old house of the Wilson family.

As soon as Rita got off, she saw Grandpa Jim waiting in his wheelchair.

"Grandpa, it's so windy outside. Why did you get out?" She frowned and quickly stepped forward.

Then she took the wheelchair from the housekeeper and said, "Sir, it's so windy outside. Don't let grandfather come out!"

"Don't blame him. I asked him to push me out... In this way, I can see you earlier and be happy earlier."

Looking at Grandpa Jim’s loving face, Rita felt her was going to cry.

She forced back the tears in her eyes and pushed him to the house. "Grandpa, it's windy outside. I'll push you back to the room first."

As soon as Rita was about to go, a big hand fell down.

One big and one small, one cold and one hot, two hands covered.

Rita felt her body stiff and suddenly pull her hand back.

Seeing this, Liam paused and held the arms of the wheelchair tightly. "You have some trouble with walking. I will do this."

Cripple!

Though his intention was good, the words stabbed Rita and outraged her susceptibilities. She looked bad for a second.

Although it was only a second, Liam noticed.

He was suddenly aware of her sensitivity.

He was about to explain something. But Rita released the wheelchair first and faintly said, “OK.” Then she took a step to the right side to open the distance between them.

Looking at the distance of one meter between them, Liam clenched the arms of the wheelchair.

Due to Grandpa Jim’s presence, they were careful in all their little movements for fear of being discovered by him. Naturally, Liam did not speak.

He pushed Grandpa Jim to the room. Rita limped to his right.

Because Grandpa Jim liked the shredded potatoes Rita cooked, she went to the kitchen immediately and was ready to make the chili and sour potato for Grandpa Jim.

Grandpa Jim and Liam were playing Go on the sofa.

Holding a black piece, Grandpa Jim put it on the board and said coldly, "Liam, recently Charlotte has made uproar on the Internet. She admitted her mistake. Have you seen the video?"

Liam’s hand holding the chess piece slightly shook. "Yes."

"What do you think?" Grandpa Jim raised his head and questioned, with his eyes full of irony.

Seeing that Liam was silent, Grandpa Jim sighed, "You, how can I say about you? Why don’t you use your shrewdness in that accident that year?"

Grandpa Jim sighed again in disappointment.

Grandpa Jim always believed that it was not Rita who did it. So he forced Liam to marry her for fear that this silly boy would miss such a good girl.

It was a pity that Rita did not had a good time after marriage.

As Grandpa Jim thought about it, he felt more guilty. He glanced at the the kitchen and rolled his eyes to the opposite Liam. "The Wilson family are responsible. I don't care if you like it or not. You have to make up for her."

"Make up for her with your whole life!"

Grandpa Jim snorted. The piece fell down on the board.

Liam knew that he lost the game, but he was distracted.

Suddenly, something in the kitchen fell to the ground. Then he suddenly realized and looked in the direction of the kitchen.

"Mrs. Wilson, you are bleeding!"

The flustered voice of the servant came. Liam suddenly got up and went to the kitchen.

"Mrs. Wilson, you are bleeding badly and need to be bandaged."

Contrary to the servant’s panic, Rita was indifferent. "I’m OK. This small wound was nothing."

She took a tissue and wiped the blood off her fingers. She reached for the knife again.

But next second, the wrist was caught by a pair of big hands.

"You need to take care of the wound."

Liam looked at her bleeding fingers and he frowned.
