Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 76

“That’s right. It’s mine, so I have the right to deal with it.”

“And who are you to tell me to pick it up?”

“You don’t have the right!”

She had psyched herself up after she was reborn. But now she lost control of herself.

She still could not calm herself down when she confronted him, which made her more annoyed and vexed.

She pushed him away angrily, pointing at the door, “Get out!”

Liam frowned deeply, standing motionless.

Didn’t the necklace belong to Joey?

Why did it belong to Rita now?

What was wrong?

He stared at her sharply, saying in a cold voice, “How can you prove that?”

He asked abruptly, which bemused Rita for a second. But she soon realized he was asking her about the necklace.

Puzzled, she glared at him with a frown. He even wanted her to prove that. Hadn’t he known that she was the one who left the necklace under his pillow?

“Rita, you said it’s your necklace. Prove it!”

Maybe she was distracted for a long time, so he said in an icy-cold voice.

“On the necklace, there are “R” and “L” with a heart in between.”

Saying this, Rita took up the frame with her photograph in it on the nightstand. Then she pulled a piece of yellowing old paper and threw it at his face, “That’s the sketch and concept of the necklace designed by me.”

He unfolded the paper. When he saw “’R, Heart, L’ refers to ‘Rita loves Liam’”, his hands were shaking, “You are also the one who had been taking care of me in the hospital, right?”

“I’ve demonstrated that the necklace is mine, so get out now!” Ignoring his question, Rita hobbled over to her bed, “I get tired and I need to take a break.”

But her arms were grabbed by him very soon.

Before she knew it, she was forced to turn around and look into his eyes, “Was that you who accompanied me?”

Being anxious to find the answer, he was no longer calm and unemotional as usual.

It was the first time that Rita had ever seen he being flustered. She felt a bit surprised.

What was wrong with him?

He really did not know she was taking care of him?

“Rita, answer me, was that you?” She felt the pain when there was a sudden and firm pull on her shoulders.

She pushed him away and gave him slight smile, “It‘s not important’.”

It was all settled now, so it did not matter whether she was the one who had been taking care of him.

Such cold words pained Liam.

How could she say it was not important? How could it possibly be unimportant?

It was very important to him!

For Liam, it was extremely important to figure out who had accompanied him in the hospital.

In his mind, that girl was even more important than himself.

He took a step toward her, trying to grab the woman which avoided talking about the past. But the door was opened.

“Liam, it sounded like someone fell to the ground, who was it? Is everything all right here?”

Nora sounded very worried. But Liam stayed where he was motionless.

Nora looked at them and sensed the tension. She walked to him curiously and then tugged at his sleeve, “Liam, did you have the quarrel again?”

He didn’t answer, so she thought she was right.

She flicked a mocking glance to Rita who was obviously annoyed.

In Nora’s mind, Rita might have got wiser. But it seemed that she was as dumb as she used to be. She would have a big fight with Liam whenever there was something about Joey.

Well, what a dummy, Nora thought.

She fell into Nora’s trap directly.

Nora sneered at Rita inwardly and pretended to mediate between Rita and Liam, “Liam, you should make some concession to your wife. That’s what makes for a happy marriage. You …”

Nora spoke for a while, making Liam more vexed.

“Did anyone say come in?”

Nora was also a bit annoyed by his words, “Liam, I worry about you and Rita, so I….”

“Get out!”

He did not let her finish her sentence. Apparently, he felt annoyed being disturbed.

Nora found he was annoyed and then she was close to tears.

Did Liam blame her for her remark?

She bit her lower lip, with her eyes filling with tears, “Liam?”

Rita was staring at Nora impassively.

It was said that women were most adorable when their eyes filled with tears, like Nora.

Rita thought, men would never upset such lovable woman like her, including Liam.

After all, Liam had married to Nora last time.

He probably liked the woman who was tender, delicate and sensible as Nora, no matter why he got married with her eventually.

Well, it was fine.

“GET OUT!”

Liam suddenly spoke in his low and cold voice while she was recalling.

Rita was surprised and looked at him immediately.
