Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 110

After he left for a long while, Rita still stayed there alone.

Sitting on the sofa, she was distracted and terribly upset.

She could not believe the truth.

Was it a kidding made by God?

But this kidding was so bad that she could not comprehend it. She was hurt so many times.

The autumn wind after rain passed through the hall, which made her shiver.

“It’s late now, Rita. It’s time to go to bed.”

A warm carpet covered her shoulders by Mrs. Davis slowly.

“Ok.” Rita stopped looking at the distant darkness and went to the second floor.

“Dear Rita, please give it to Mr. Wilson.” Mrs. Davis placed a bowl of porridge in front of Rita, explaining, “He has not had any food tonight. I guess he must be hungry now.”

Looking at the hot porridge, she pondered.

In the past, she would find an excuse and refuse Mrs. Davis, but this time, she took it.

“Liam, Mrs. Davis cooked…” when Rita opened the door, the room was totally dark. In the moonlight, Liam was lying quietly on the floor.

Was he asleep?

She had better not disturb him.

She tried to act quietly and slip into the room.

“What did she cook?” Liam suddenly asked, which surprised Rita.

She looked at the floor instantly to discover that he was sitting up.

“She is afraid that you are hungry so let me give you a bowl of porridge.”

“Alright.”

Rita turned on the light, and handed it to him.

“Thanks.” Liam took it.

And their hands touched each other’s.

Suddenly she felt his high temperature.

Why was his hand so hot?

She looked at him to find that he was so pale.

And his eyes were full of weariness.

She guessed just now, but this time she was sure that Liam was having a fever.

Rita took out some pills from the drawer to the desk, “Remember to take the pills after the porridge.”

Liam paused, holding the bowl, and said, “Thank you.”

Then they became silent as usual.

Although they were in the same room, they were thinking differently.

After taking the pills, Liam lay back to the floor and Rita on the bed.

But tonight, both of them failed to sleep.

In the dark, Rita stared at the ceiling, thinking about Jacob’s words.

What Liam loved indeed was the girl who stood by him at that time.

Joey disguised herself as you.

Was it the truth? She still wondered.

She turned around and looked at Liam on the floor again.

She spoke, breaking the silence, “Liam.”

“What?” Liam opened his eyes as soon as she called him, and looking at her as well, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Rita was ready to talk with him about the truth but she changed her mind. “It’s too late. Let’s sleep.”

“Fine.”

Hearing his low voice, Rita turned her back to him again.

At that night, Rita still didn’t ask him.

She thought a lot. What if she knew the truth?

Everything was done. It’s too late change the results.

At this thought, Rita was relieved and closed her eyes, falling asleep.

But Liam stayed up late all night.

He fixed his eyes on Rita, listening to her breath gradually becoming steady.

In the morning, Rita was annoyed by the noise beside her ears and changed her posture to sleep again.

When she was half asleep, she felt that someone else was on the bed as well.

And the next moment, she was held in someone’s arms firmly.

Rita was stunned.

She opened her eyes instantly, looking into his gorgeous eyes.

“Good morning.” Liam bent down and kissed her forehead naturally.

Feeling his lips, Rita was stupefied.

And then she felt her heart beat so fast and her face turned flushed as if in fire.

She looked at somewhere else and pushed him away, “Did the fever burn your brain?”

She jumped out of bed after asking, and rushed into the washing room in a panic.

In order to pretend to be calm, she slammed the door as if she was quite angry.

When the door was closed, her heartbeats were faster.

What’s wrong with her?

Why did her heart beat so quickly out of her control?

Rita bit her lips and turned on the tap to wash her red face with cold water.

Meanwhile, Liam on the bed was stupefied at her shyness and panic for a second.

And then he couldn’t help smiling.

When he touched her, she was no longer indifferent and cold to him, which was a good beginning for him. He seemed to have the hope of saving their love.

Because of it, Liam was still smiling when he was downstairs. It’s warm and bright smile like the spring.

“Why are you so happy?” Grandpa Jim on the sofa was curious what happened since Liam was always cold.

At that time, Liam realized that he was very happy.

He tried to become cold as usual and sat beside him, and questioned the servants to hide his embarrassment.

“Why did nobody tell me that my grandfather is here?”

He narrowed his eyes and the room seemed to be in winter.

Suddenly, Mrs. Davis and the housekeep felt his anger and neither of them was brave enough to answer his question.

When they were trying to figure out how to rely, Grandpa Jim spoke, “It’s I that told them not to wake you up. I think you need more sleep.”

Liam glanced at his grandfather who became surprisingly affectionate to him, frowning.

In the past when he was unwilling to get up, his grandfather scolded him with a stick in his hand.

Why did he become so nice to him? He always asked the family members to get up early and to make efforts to reach goals.

That’s totally weird.

“Grandpa, if you miss us, you can ring us up and we will go to visit you. We are so far away and you should take more rests.” Otherwise, he would be worried about his grandfather.

“I have heard that you two are having conflicts.”

Grandpa Jim glanced at Liam and said, “Did you bully Rita?”

“No.”

“But why did someone tell me that you two were cold to each other? It seemed that you didn’t have the dinner.”

“I was ill last night.”

Hearing his explanation, Grandpa Jim didn’t accept it, “I warn you. If you dare to bully her, I will break you leg.”

Their conversation was heard by Rita who was downstairs. She felt touched. Grandpa Jim was always nice to her.

“In order to help you avoid the conflicts, I decided that I would move here to live with you for several days.” He knocked the suitcase aside with the cane. “Mrs. Davis, help me carry the suitcase to the second floor.”

Liam was speechless and Rita was surprised.

Grandfather was moving into the house?

That’s bad!

She and Liam were able to cheat Mrs. Davis, but she was not confident that she could deceive his grandfather who was so experienced and wise.

Their true relationship was going to be exposed.
