Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 87

After the negotiation with Liam, Rita came back to live in the Wilson villa.

During the daytime, she went to school while after class, she discussed with Isabelle and Tom about the plan.

This time, she didn’t choose to suppress the public atmosphere, and instead, asked Isabelle and Tom to guide it with quite a few new accounts. In a short time, the affair was widely spread within the campus.

It had been the top topic in the school forum for two weeks.

As a result, the Brown family was informed as well.

This morning, Rita was called back to the Brown family by Amelia in a hurry.

“Rita, do you still remember the tenth rule of our family?” Amelia on the sofa was staring at her, asking in a low tone.

Rita nodded, “Yes, Mama.”

“Recite it to me.”

“Be prudent to make friends and treasure the marital harmony.”

“Exactly!” Amelia murmured and repeated the rule. Then she reminded with a look of deep significance, “Since you are married, you now should be careful when you befriend someone, and attach importance to your marriage. Do you understand what I mean?”

Despite Amelia’s implicitness, Rita comprehended the connotation.

Amelia actually expressed her demand.

That was, never let the friends destroy the marriage.

It seemed that Amelia’s purpose of calling her back was not only having a meal with her.

What she truly wanted to do was to insinuate Rita after knowing the affair; she was worried that Rita made a big mistake.

After all, the scandal of their marriage must do harm to the family’s reputation.

But Rita wondered how the Brown’s got the message from the campus.

“Rita?”

She was absent-minded for such a long time that Amelia called her name.

Rita regained her composure, smiling, “You are right. I will remember it all the time.”

“My dear grandma, don’t worry. My sister loves her husband so much that they must live happily together.”

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind, and then Charlotte walked in.

Charlotte squatted in front of Amelia and massaged her legs to please her, “I think they may have a baby next year. Do you agree with me, my dear sister?”

Hearing Charlotte’s question, Rita made a pathetic effort to smile, “Yes.”

Noticing Rita’s nodding, Amelia smiled happily.

And she held Rita’s hands to tell her the advantages of having a baby and particularly asked to the servants in the kitchen to cook some enriched soup to prepare her body for pregnancy because she thought Rita was too slim.

After a week, Amelia paid all the attention to Rita who was believed to be pregnant next year, and forgot the affair.

Although she was not questioned any more, Rita was still confused.

What’s the purpose of Charlotte’s help?

She didn’t trust Charlotte as a good girl.

“Grandma, why don’t you ask my sister to call her husband here? It’s a good chance for us to have a meal together.” Now Charlotte spoke slowly.

Amelia on the sofa contemplated for a while and looked at Rita, “Rita, what do you think?”

Although she asked her first, Rita knew that she had no other choice but to agree.

If she said no to her, Amelia would definitely doubt the relationship between her and Liam.

At the glance of Charlotte who took pleasure in her dilemma, Rita snorted.

Expectedly, Charlotte played dirty tricks to her.

Even though she helped her get rid of being inquired, actually it’s part of her trick.

Charlotte intended to get Liam here, in order to verify the affair by the relationship between Rita and Liam.

Charlotte proved herself that she was good at manipulating.

If she didn’t lose in the previous incarnation because of Charlotte, Rita would believe that Charlotte was helpful to her.

Rita decided to make use of Charlotte’s plot since Charlotte made great effort to make her embarrassed.

Today, she would fight against Charlotte by acting and using her brain.

Making up her mind, Rita pretended to be stumped, “Grandma, Liam is too busy to be here. Leave him alone. We shall enjoy the meal by ourselves.”

“Rita, I think Liam must have the spare time to have a meal even though he is busy.” Noticing Rita’s refusal, Charlotte impeded immediately and persuaded Amelia, “Don’t you think so, grandma?”

“You are right. It won’t cost him a lot of time to have a lunch with us. Rita, you’d better call him right now.” Amelia agreed with Charlotte.

Rita became more embarrassed. She took out the phone but dallied over calling Liam.

Her behavior was witnessed by Charlotte who was surprised.

Rita seemed reluctant to call Liam here, which must indicate that their marriage was not as harmonious as they said.

The affair exposed by the forum might be true. Rita did move out and lived in the campus after she quarreled with Liam about Oliver.

At this thought, Charlotte was happy secretly.

She was waiting for Rita’s making assess of herself.

“Hello, darling?”

After Liam answered the phone, Rita called him sweetly.

And Liam who was typing on the keyboard was stunned and paused.

He was rather satisfied with what Rita said and asked, “Anything wrong?”

“Please don’t hang up the phone. I have something to tell you…” She ignored Liam’s question, pretended to be nervous and turned her back to Amelia and Charlotte, reminding Liam in a low tone, “I am in the Brown family house.”

Although it’s a reminder to Liam, Rita let Charlotte also hear it on purpose.

Charlotte now believed more firmly through Rita’s hints that Rita must be diffident. So she expected more curiously to see what would happen next.

At this moment, Liam was confused, looking at the phone.

He had not wanted to hang up the phone.

What was Rita doing?
