Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 162

Rita looked at him in surprise. Then she smiled, but her cheeks were bathed in tears. “How?”

The tears almost broke Liam’s heart. He had said some pretty hurtful things to her and broke her heart. “I will love you with my whole heart, I swear!” he said earnestly.

“Are you serious? You love me?” asked Rita skeptically.

Liam put her head on his chest and said slowly, “Do you hear that? The beat of my heart. I’ll love you until it stops beating.”

Rita looked at the determined look on Liam’s face, tears fogging her eyes. She wiped her eyes, and a slight smile touched her lips. “Do you still remember what you said before? You said you never, never will love me. You said my love was worthless,” Rita said calmly.

Liam was hanging on to her every word, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He repented of having said so.

“You said…” Rita continued, but before she could say another word, Liam kissed her on the lips.

He kissed her again and again. “Don’t say it, Rita. I know I was wrong. I never will again,” said Liam earnestly.

Rita looked up into his face and gave him a radiant smile. “All right, I forgive you. Let’s start over again,” she said.

Liam stood motionless and opened his mouth in surprise. “What do you mean, Rita? I…I …” he asked in disbelief. He thought he must be dreaming. How was that possible? Did Rita forgive him?

“Could you say that again?” he asked again, in a shaky voice.

Rita smiled and replied, “Liam, we need to forget and start over.”

Next second, she was kissed by Liam. The kiss was tender and supple. Rita was drunk on this mellow dream world.

There was a total silence in the room. Rita could hear Liam’s heavy breathing, and her own low soft breathing.

Slowly, they moved towards the bed and lay down. They continued to kiss. It seemed they had lost in the great joy. Liam kissed her neck and then her lips, again and again.

They had even forgotten that Jacob was here. The scene made Jacob blush. He cast his eyes aside with a bitter smile and thought in his heart, “Enough! Enough! I’m standing right here.”

By nightfall, Rita was asleep with her head on Liam’s arms. Liam was awake. He looked gently at the girl beside him, with a big smile.

Just then a nurse came in. When she saw the heartwarming scene, she envied the girl who had a good boyfriend. The nurse disconnected the IV bottle from the overhead hook and said, “Mr. Wilson, the infusion has ended. If there is any discomfort, please call me.”

“OK,” Liam said quietly, in order not to wake the sleeping girl.

After the nurse had gone, Jacob rushed in. “I have found the one who hurt you today,” he said as soon as he walked in the door.

The smile had gone from Liam’s face immediately. Instead, his face darkened with anger. He got out of the bed and went softly out of the room. “The Wilson family has something to do with it?” he asked coldly.

“How did you know what happened today was not an accident? Yes, someone told the driver to do this,” Jacob said.

“When the driver crashed into me, he didn’t even slow down or stop. That doesn’t make common sense,” said Liam.

“But you are partly right. The Wilson family was unrelated to it. It was P. Group who was behind this!” Jacob said.

When Liam heard this, his eyes narrowed. “It’s the same group who sent Nora away?”

“You are right.”

“P. Group?” Liam repeated. A fierce look came into his eyes.

Jacob knew him well. He knew Liam was very angry at this time. There was no doubt that P. Group would come to a bad end. Then Jacob handed Liam a copy of files, on which the investor’s name was written clearly.

Liam skimmed over the report. Suddenly, a familiar name caught his sight. “Michael Burke!” Wasn’t he a doctor? Why did he connect to the P. Group? And the weird thing was, Michael loved Rita. It hardly seemed possible he would send someone to hurt her.

That made no sense to Liam. He thought they might not be the same guy. But when he saw the photo on the paper, he accepted the truth. He looked livid. “It’s him!” he said.

“You know him?” asked Jacob in surprise.

“Not well,” Liam said coldly.

“Then what are we prepared to…” Before Jacob could say another word, Liam interrupted him, “He tried to hurt my girl. It’s unforgivable.”

Jacob took the hint and said, “I get it! I will handle this.” Maybe Michael would disappear forever from the world tomorrow.

But Liam stopped him when he was at the door. “Wait, wait. I will meet him in person. Bring the driver with us.”

Twenty minutes later, a luxury car stopped at the door of a villa. A car window was rolled down and Jacob poked out his head. “Is Michael here?” he asked a janitor with a smile.

The janitor managed a smile and asked, “Excuse me, but who are you?”

“Liam Wilson!” Liam said coldly.

The janitor was absolutely shocked. He had never seen Liam before, but he had heard so much about him.

The janitor felt a little nervous and said quickly, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Wilson! Please wait a moment. I’ll see if Mr. Burke is available.” Then he ran into the courtyard.

Staring after the janitor, Liam sneered. He would never wait here obediently. “Break the door down!” he ordered.

“OK!” Jacob said and hit the gas pedal, making terrible engine noises. Next second, the car rushed towards the door. With a big bang, the door was knocked down.
