Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 116

What Oliver had said was like bombshell in the Roberts family.

Then they were both speechless with shock.

Martin Roberts was stunned by his words. Then he said with a scowl, “No, I can’t agree with you.”

“You have never fulfilled the duty as my father. You are not qualified to intervene in my business.” Oliver sniffed. Then he was about to leave the house which was depressing for him.

He walked away firmly and stubbornly, which made Martin turn pale suddenly.

Martin looked up at the dark sky with his eyes filled with worry, “What happened to him? Why would he be so crazy about Wilson’s wife?”

Martin turned around to go upstairs after Oliver drove his Ferrari out of the yard.

Then he found someone was looking at him with indifferent eye expression.

“Rowan Roberts.”

The handsome man was sitting in his wheelchair impassively. He did not say anything but then he rolled the wheel and went back to his bedroom.

After that accident, his family seldom mentioned the Wilson family in front of him.

He thought he had forgotten when no one mentioned it. But he would still feel gloomy and depressed, which seemed to remind him that it was not over. The wound would still leave an ugly scar after healing!

Rowan glanced at his legs with coldness. The dimness overwhelmed his room gradually .

In the meantime, Rita was troubled by Mason when she was about to leave the school.

“Rita, Rose made your favorite braised pork specially for you and asked me to pick you up.” Mason was wearing a big smile on his face and opened the car door for her, “There is also your favorite fish filets.”

Rita was not pleased by his flattery at all.

She knew Mason and Rose must come to her for something.

She guessed that they tried hard to bring her home was because of their daughter Charlotte this time.

Although Rita understood his malicious intentions, she did not reveal, because she wanted to see what how Charlotte change her situation.

Rita bent down to get on the car and then gave him a lovely smile, “Thanks for your invitation.”

“We are a family after all.” Mason had a great big grin on his face when Rita got on the car.

A family? Rita sneered in secret. But she did not show her contempt on her face and smiled casually.

Before Mason parked the car, Rose came to them with a smile, “You must be hungry after a morning of courses. Hurry-get off the car and wash your hands. We may start the lunch now.”

Rose had always rolled her eyes at her when Rita lived in the Brown family in the past.

But now Rose tried hard to please her, which made her feel uncomfortable and even have goose pimples.

Rita hid her true feelings and came to the living room with them.

But she caught a glimpse of a luxury black car which did not belong to the Brown family when she passed the garage.

She frowned with puzzle and asked, “Is there any guest today?”

“Rita, did you fail recognizing our car?” The sound of laughter came from the house.

Hearing the familiar voice, she knew it was Liam even without raising her head.

Why did he come as well?

She was bewildered for a second and then stopped thinking about it.

There were others watching her after all. She should take care not to be in trouble.

Then she raised her eyes to looked at Liam and gave him a sweet smile, “Darling, why are you here?”

“Uncle Mason and Aunt Rose invited me.”

It was them again.

Rita flicked a glance through the couple. She was more curious about their real intention.

It seemed that she just had to be patient and waited for their acting.

Rita stopped thinking and then held Liam’s arms familiarly, “Aunt Rose seldom cooked for us. But you will have her braised pork today, just enjoy that.”

“I know.”

Liam had been upset for days, but now he was suddenly delighted seeing her acting like a spoiled child.

In order to cooperate with her, Liam held her hand in his palms and fiddled with it.

Seeing them flirting with each other, Mason and Rose left quietly.

Without others watching them, Rita pulled her hand free immediately.

Standing, they looked into each other’s eyes, which somehow embarrassed them.

Then Noah helped Grandma Amelia to go downstairs. Rita left Liam to deal with her dad and grandma, and she went upstairs to see her mom, Zoe.

“Rita, are you really not going to have a baby?” After chatting with her mom for a while, Zoe began to ask her about the child again.

The smile froze on Rita’s lips. “Here we go.”

“Relax. I still respect your wishes. But I just want to remind you that Liam is an excellent man. He is so attractive to other women. You should not let him go, so you’d better have a child with him.”

Saying this, Zoe kept looking at Rita. She hoped Rita could understand her good intention.

That Zoe cared so much about her and Liam made her quite upset.

They were acting as a good couple. But they would eventually stop acting someday.

At that time, would her mom and dad be upset?

Rita had a mixed feelings when she thought her parents might be worried by that.

Due to the agreement she and Liam had reached, she had to keep lying to them.

But she might start to imply that her marriage was going to break up in front of her parents, so that her divorce would not be too sudden to accept for them.

Thinking of that, she shrugged with contempt, “So be it. I don’t want to have a baby to keep his love. I’m still young and emotionally immature. Maybe I will fall in love with one of my classmates someday.”

Zoe felt her daughter had changed obviously after she had a high fever.

Rita had become steadier and more mature. She was no longer capricious. Moreover, she was not that crazy about Liam.

Nevertheless, Zoe never thought the childish girl who had been obsessive with Liam would say she would be in love with other.

Then Zoe was unnerved by the rumor about Rita and Oliver.

She grabbed Rita and whispered, “Rita, there is nobody else, so tell me, do you really fall in love with Oliver?”

Hearing that, Rita had a twitch on her lips.

Why would her mom think of Oliver suddenly?

But Rita regarded this misunderstanding as an opportunity.

If her mom thought she would love someone else, then so be it. And Rita did not have to take the trouble to make up a reason of her divorce.

Rita pretended to be unnerved and then avoided seeing Zoe’s eyes, with her hands twisting with each other on her chest. “No, don’t say that.”

Then she was forced to looked at Zoe’s eyes, “Rita, look into my eyes and say it again!”

“Mom…”

“Tell me, do you really take a fancy to Oliver?”

“Maybe a little.” Rita answered in a low voice.

Zoe’s face turned pale and went blank for a long time.

Meanwhile, Liam came to the room and happened to hear their conversation.

He paused for a while and he felt hurt, as if his heart was pricked by a needle.

She really fell in love with Oliver.
