Sweet Divorce

Then in the dining hall of Liam's mansion at night.

Seeing all the meals on the desk, Jacob was beyond excited, "Liam, what a feast!"

Instead of responding, Liam just took a glance at Rita's room on the second floor.

"Liam, did you make this for me?" Jacob who was staring the meal all the time didn't really notice Liam's look and was touched inside. Liam obvious appreciated his effort today!

Then he sat down and reached for the chicken with chopsticks.

"Wait a minute." Liam suddenly spoke.

Jacob paused and looked at Liam in bewilderment, "Wait for what?"

"She hasn't come down yet." Liam said slowly.

Hearing his words, Jacob immediately figured out what he was suggesting.

He meant that he can't start eating now because Rita wasn't downstairs yet.

Jacob let out a wry smile said, "Liam, you just have to play hos before bros, huh?"

"Sure."

Hearing Liam's brisk reply, Jacob put down the chopstick and acted sad, "Liam, you would sure lose me one day by doing this to me."

But Liam just ignored him and sipped the cold tea, "Did you do the things right?"

"yes, both of the legs were broken." Jacob immediately got serious. "I've thrown her in front of the Nash Family."

"Don't let the Nash family member get out of the F City." Liam said indifferently.

"Yes." Jacob nodded.

Then after chatting for a while, Rita finally got downstairs.

Seeing that she was finally downstairs, Jacob was beyond happy.

He didn't start eating until Rita picked up the chopsticks. "I can start now, Lima?"

"Go ahead."

Jacob then started wolfing down the food.

There was no other sound on the desk apart from Jacob's chewing and the clashing of bowls.

Liam and Rita all stayed quiet and didn't have any conversation.

Liam picked some lobsters and started shelling.

Then he pushed the lobster meat to Rita and said, "The housemaid bought this from the supermarket today. They are quite fresh." Looking at the meat, Jacob drooped his eyes sadly. 'Is this really the difference between one's wife and brother?'

Staring at the meat in front of her, Rita didn't reject this time but picked one and started chewing.

She then smiled, "Thank you."

This was the first time that she smiled at him for a long time.

Though it was not that sincere, Liam was still delighted, "I will ask housemaid to make more if you like this."

"There is really no need of that." Rita hurriedly shook her head.

She was indifferent to him before because she thought that he was the one who broke her leg.

But now the mistake had been unraveled, she didn't hate her any more.

But it didn't really mean anything, because she still wanted to leave.

So she just wiped her mouth and stood up, "I'm full."

Seeing that she just left, Liam's eyes dimmed again.

There was still a long distance between him and she.

Then he didn't really feel like eating anymore.

"Wow, this is so delicious." Jacob swallowed down gleefully and made some noises which made Liam frowned, "It's nine o'clock."

"Is it?" Jacob didn't really realize that Liam was suggesting something else and glanced at the clock on the wall. "It's eight thirty!"

But Liam just replied coldly, "It's time for you to go."

Hearing his words, Jacob paused for second and put down the bowl and chopsticks sadly. Then he complained, "It's really unfair to be angry with me because your wife cold-shouldered you." "Is it?" Liam didn't really care.

'Of course it's unfair!' But Jacob can only think about this inside and dared not to speak it out.

After wiping his mouth, Jacob said slowly, "Liam, take it easy."

Liam didn't respond but glanced at the spot Rita was sitting on.

Maybe it was true that he was rushing.

Liam finally knew what was it like to love someone and what it hurt to be not loved back.

It started drizzling when Jacob left.

Standing in front of the window, Liam froze for a long time and walked upstairs till the glass got blurry because of the rain.

When he opened the bedroom open, he found that Rita was curling herself up because of the pain on her left leg.

Liam frowned and immediately held her up.

"Liam?" Rita instantly looked up and struggled to get down when she saw Liam's face.

But at the very next second, her shoulder was grasped harder, "Don't move." Liam said lowly which Rita dared not to argue back. While Rita was wondering, Liam had already hugged her to the bed.

"Is your left leg painful?"

Rota didn't come to herself until Liam spoke again.

Painful? Of course.

The pain was almost unbearable.

But in front of Liam, she just replied lowly, "It's okay. It will get a bit painful when it's cold."

But then Rita's face immediately turned pale because of the excruciating pain. Her hand subconsciously clutched at the bed sheet.

Though her movement was really small because she didn't want Liam to notice, Liam still saw it.

Rubbing his hands himself first till they got warm, Liam stooped and rubbed Rita's left feet. "Will you feel better this way?"

Seeing Liam rubbing her feet, Rita's heart stopped.

Was this man warming her feet for her?

For the first time ever she felt his warmth.

Rita's dead and freezing heart started beating again.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
