Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 79

He got far more sober, seeing that Rita was excited.

He opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but he said nothing eventually.

She would not listen to him now.

After all, she was deeply hurt by what he had done.

And she would not forgive him easily.

He stood up and walked out the door. But he seemed to think of something, then he turned and looked at Rita.

“Sorry, I was drunk just now.”

“I know.”

She smelt the alcohol when he came in.

And she knew why he apologized.

He was telling her not to take it seriously.

She knew it.

And she wouldn’t even if he didn’t say that.

She stopped imagining that he would love her after she had been dead once.

“But I’m serious about what I’ve said.”

He spoke when her mind wandered.

Rita lifted her head in surprise and met his clear eyes.

He seemed to have sobered up.

Then why did he say that?

Thinking of something, she was annoyed and said in a cold voice, “Liam…”

“Don’t rush to give your answer. Just think about it carefully.”

She was about to refuse his request but he interrupted, “I’ll sleep in another room, you may sleep on the bed tonight.”

Speaking, he closed the door for her gently.

Rita was shocked until the door was closed.

Gazing at the door, she kept frowning, with her eyes filled with mixed felling.

In the end, things had panned out in the way that she was unhappy to see.

Liam must be consumed with guilt after he knew he had misunderstood her all the time.

He said that possibly because he wanted to make amends for the past.

But a loveless marriage would finally fall apart.

Moreover, she did not love him anymore.

Rita breathed with a sigh and laid back on the bed.

It was meant to be a sleepless night for both of them.

The next morning, there was a knock at the door and then someone came in, “Mrs. Wilson, get ready for the breakfast. You…”

Mrs. Davis walked in, and she was shocked when she saw Rita was packing her stuff, “Mrs. Wilson, why are you packing the bag? Where are you going?”

“Well, there are too many courses recently, so I want to live in school for some days.” She smiled and explained, but she did not dare to meet Mrs. Davis’s eyes.

Mrs. Davis did not buy it.

There was nobody else, so Mrs. Davis took Rita’s hand and asked her worriedly, “Mrs. Wilson, did you have a fight with Mr. Wilson last night?”

“Yeah.” Rita rolled her eyes and answered.

She knew Mrs. Davis must have guessed what happened when she saw Liam slept in another bedroom. And she’d rather make Mrs. Davis thought what she guessed was true.

“Mrs. Wilson, quarrel is inevitable in the marriage. But you can’t run away from home every time when you get angry with him.”

Seeing that Mrs. Davis assumed that she was the one who sulked, she pouted deliberately and said in discontent, “Mrs. Davis, usually I am the one who make concession. But I won’t this time. He has to apologize!”

Mrs. Davis was surprised at Rita acting as a spoiled child.

But then she laughed. Mrs. Wilson finally gained the upper hand, she thought.

That was nice.

As one of Rita’s families, Mrs. Davis would definitely support her, “Right. Let him apologize to you. But don't be so hard on him when he makes concession.”

“I know.”

Rita nodded but sniggered secretly.

Done!

Liam happened to hear what they had talked about when he passed by.

He paused a while and gave a wry smile.

There were too many courses?

She must be hiding from him.

“Mrs. Davis, you’ve made the breakfast, right? Let’s go down to the dining room.”

Hearing this, he stopped thinking and went downstairs ahead of them so that they wouldn’t be embarrassed finding him eavesdropping.

Rita and Mrs. Davis came downstairs when he sat down and started to eat.

Trying to be cool, he had his breakfast slowly.

Rita and Liam sat at the table face to face. But they were quiet.

They seemed to alienate from each other after what had happened last night.

Assuming that he was about to finish his breakfast, Rita lifted his eyes and flicked a glance at him.

Seeing he was playing the phone, she broke the silence, “Liam, I got something to talk with you.”

Liam paused for a while, but he didn’t raise his head, “What?”

“My tutor has got a new project. And I need to assist him. Sometimes we will have the discussion at night. And it’s troublesome going back and forth, so I want to move to school for some time.”

“I see.”

I see?

What did he mean?

Staring at his handsome face, Rita blinked her eyes with puzzle, “Then I…”

“When?” He put down his phone suddenly and looked at her.

Rita was surprised and then replied right away, “Today.”

“OK, I’ll drive you to the school.” He said slowly. But Rita was surprised again.

He agreed!

She did not expect that.

But she calmed down soon.
