Sweet Divorce

Chapter 88 A Baby

“Oh, you must be joking now. Let’s discuss this question later in our home.” Rita struggled to give him a smile and held his arms with winking as the hint that it’s time to stop acting.

But Liam seemed to ignore her hint and said with a cold face, “So, you don’t agree with me?”

Hearing this, Rita was speechless.

Liam, that’s too much, she thought and he should stop asking the question.

When they were communicating with each other, Amelia and Charlotte were surprised.

Especially, Charlotte’s face whitened.

The couple was actually in love instead of disharmony.

Suddenly, she was wildly jealous of Rita, with tight fists.

Was Rita so outstanding that everyone liked her?

She could not understand it for she thought that she was better than Rita. She kept asking in her mind why Rita was always lucky as an disabled and she herself was reduced.

Charlotte became angrier at the thoughts.

But she hid her emotions and smiled at Rita, “Oh, it turns out that your conflict is about the baby. It’s great. I think you are quarreling about my sister’s affair with Oliver.”

Although Charlotte appeared happy for them, she actually wanted to stimulate Liam by mentioning the cheat. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

However, Rita was clear about Charlotte’s plot.

Before Rita was ready to refute, she was pulled into Liam’s arms with her waist held by Liam.

They stared at each other with eyes fixed and Rita was lost for words.

Ignoring her expression, Liam smiled handsomely, “Introduce your friend to me, honey.”

Hearing this, Rita was astonished.

My friend?

Who?

Noticing he was looking at Charlotte, Rita frowned.

‘Are you kidding me? You don’t know her?’ Rita thought.

“Just tell me.”

Aware of his determination, Rita said unwillingly, “She’s my cousin, Charlotte.”

“Oh, I see. Is she the Charlotte who stitches you up?”

The rest of them were all silent.

And Liam narrowed his eyes which were extremely cold, “What’s going on? Is the whole Brown family against me?”

Noticing his anger, Amelia was stunned.

To her, Liam had a bad temper and nobody seemed to understand him. How could he say that? Rita just mentioned Charlotte who did nothing to him.

Although she was surprised, she looked calm for she had experienced a lot in the past decades.

She smiled and asked, “Liam, why did you say that? I never want to be against you.”

“It seems that Jacob has not told you that those who hurt my wife don’t deserve to be the member of the Brown’s. But you, grandma, even allows her to enter your house. I think you must want to embarrass me.” He said in a low tone but his anger was conveyed completely.

In a second, the whole hall was turned to be a cold storage and the others were nervous as well as anxious.

Actually, Amelia was informed of that by Jacob and she knew what he meant at once –

Just expel Charlotte from the house.

At that time, she followed his order.

But now, she thought that Liam forgave Charlotte so she allowed Charlotte’s return.

Besides, Charlotte was always good at pleasing her so she promised that Charlotte came back to meet her parents.

Unexpectedly, she encountered with Liam.

And he was furious at the sight of her.

Besides, he seemed to decide to punish her if she didn’t give him a good explanation.

After the trade-off, she turned to the servants and said, “Aren’t you blind? How can you let a stranger in our house? Now expel her. Quickly.”

“Yes.” The servants swallowed their complaint and walked to Charlotte, “Miss, please.”

Charlotte’s face visibly whitened.

She didn’t understand what he wanted by asking that question until this moment.

He was to give the Brown’s pressure and embarrass her.

Aware of this, she clenched her fingers together so firmly that she even hurt herself.

“Why are you still here? Just go.” Noticing Charlotte refused to move, Liam became more serious, “Are you going to be dragged away?”

Being expelled was embarrassing enough and being dragged away was much more than that.

Charlotte left at once with a pale face.

But when she turned her back, she felt humiliated.

Her expression was ugly and now her face was drained of colors.

She could not believe that at last she was insulted and left the house in this way. Her plan was to reveal Rita’s secret!

At those thoughts, she was more ashamed of herself.

After she was away, Liam seemed to be happier than before.

Noticing his change, Amelia was relieved, smiling, “Liam, why not stay here and have a lunch with us? I remember it has been long for us not sitting together.”

Liam nodded and said that he agreed with her, which pleased her greatly.

Because of his presence, the affair disappeared in the family.

As a result, Rita solved her problem completely.

However, during the lunch, she was persuaded and asked by all the family members.

“Rita, it’s time to have a baby.” Amelia looked at her affectionately, smiling, “What do you think?”

She was awkward and refused, “Grandma, I am not a graduate now. Just take it easy.”

“But you can take a gap year.” Noah retorted in time so she began to smile reluctantly but Liam was satisfied.

So he gave the father-in-law a drumstick.

In the past, it’s only the family members that treated him with delicious food.

Therefore, his behavior now surprised all of them.

Even he didn’t say a word, but the whole family knew what he meant.

They should ask Rita to give birth to a baby.

“Rita, don’t worry. When you deliver a baby, I will take care of it for you so you can continue your classes.” Her mother added, which made Rita speechless.

The family now seemed to be united to persuade.

She was in a dilemma with her appetite spoiled in front of the delicious food.

After the meal, she left by an excuse immediately

In the car, she took a deep breath.

Finally, she was free again.

She became peaceful with her back against the seat and looked at Liam, “Have you decided when to sell the first batch of diamonds?”

“Yes, it’s May 20.”

“Well, it’s just half a month left. So we must start our advertisement.” Rita murmured.

She was so charming while working that Liam focused on her.

In the sun, Liam looked at her carefully and fixed his eyes on her beautiful lips with faster heartbeats

He was seduced by her beauty and wanted to kiss her.

The next moment, Rita suddenly raised her head, “The footage of the advertisement…”

Instantly, they kissed.

Rita was astounded at once, and she was touched for a second.

And then, she calmed down and was back to normal.

She looked aside and apologized, biting her lips, “I am sorry.”

Except for the apology, there’s nothing she gave to him, which disappointed Liam.

It seemed that she didn’t love him.

Instantly, he was drowned by bitterness and sadness.

Liam came back to his seat and looked at the other side, “Let me send you to the school.”

“Thanks.”

Because of a kiss, they were embarrassed again.

Rita was playing her fingers to waste time and to forget the kiss. In a short time, they arrived at the school gate.

When the car stopped, she bit her lips and said, “When can you give me the footage? I need to read it in advance and prepare for the advertisement.”

“Tomorrow. Jacob will email it to you.”

“Well. Thanks”

Rita smiled politely and loosened the belt to get off.

But the next moment, her arms were held by Liam instantly.

“What are you doing?” she paused, confused.

“Rita, we cannot postpone the advertisement. Are you sure that Oliver will agree to film it?” He wanted to express his love to her originally but when he spoke, the words were changed.

Rita was unaware of his emotions and nodded, “Don’t worry. I promise you.”

Liam let her go unwillingly.

And he looked at her constantly who walked away into the campus with a wounded leg.

At that moment, Liam regretted. He thought the biggest failure of his life was that he lost the girl who loved him the most.

And he could not find her back.

Then he lighted a cigar, and took a deep breath bitterly.

Recently, he was more addicted to the cigar. It surprised him that he could not get rid of it with strong self-discipline.

Rita went back to her dormitory.

Sitting on the bed, she was absent-minded, thinking about the kiss of coincidence.

She at that time could clearly hear his heartbeat, which unsettled and even surprised her.

After she relived her life, she made great effort to become indifferent to him and tried to stay away from him without love. But she was indeed influenced by him.

Realizing her change, she hated and even loathed it.

She frowned, and mumbled, “I cannot be influenced any longer, not even once.”

“What are you talking about?” Suddenly a voice sounded beside her, questioning. Rita was stunned and opened her eyes instantly.

Recognizing Isabelle, she was relieved, and asked, “Why are you here?”

Rita was expecting to hear what she would say with bright eyes.

“I have photos of what you want.” Isabelle smiled, and took out a pile of photos from her pocket. “Check them, Rita, to see if they are helpful.”

Rita took over the photos and examined them one by one.

Then she praised Isabelle, “Oh, you are a good detective. The photos are clear, which recorded the kiss and the intimacy of holding hands. Great!”

“I am happy to see they can help you.” Isabelle was shy and touched her hairs.

Touching the photos and looking at the sky, she narrowed her beautiful eyes, “We have prepared for such a long time and it’s time to fight back.”

She would defeat Nora and let her experience the extreme pain in her last incarnation.
