Sweet Divorce

Chapter 20 Was This the So-called Busy?

"Rita, you hadn't been home for a long time. Why didn't you stay home tonight and accompanied uncle and aunt." Charlotte cleared away her depression and shew her warm smile.

"Right, Rita. Just stayed at home tonight." Zoe nodded her head.

"OK."

Looking at her mother's expecting eyes, Rita did not refuse.

Besides, she remembered the evilness from Charlotte's eyes.

She pretended not to see it, and went on to show her love.

"Rita, you cut off your long hair?!" She looked on the incident happened just now and overlooked Rita's hair. At this moment, she was surprised, "Didn't you love the long hair the most? Why did you cut it?"

Because of Liam, he never changed his hairstyle.

'What was going on today?'

'How did it feel like that she was getting more and more abnormal recently?'

"I was tired of having a haircut for a long time and it was time to change it. A barber recommended short hair to me."

'That's it?'

Charlotte apparently didn't believe it, but she couldn't find any other reason, and that was over.

Rita chatted with other family members for a few words, then she followed her parents to the third floor.

"Rita, you could sleep in the guest room tonight, and I would talk to your Grandma tomorrow and see if she could ask Charlotte to move back to her original room."

Zoe made the bed and said gently to her.

In the last life, since Rita was evicted from the Brown family, she could not return home any more. But no sooner after she left the home, Charlotte could not wait to occupy her bedroom. Rita remembered this clearly.

Thinking of this, Rita couldn't help but lift up her lip.

She was so stupid at that time as she not only loved wrong people, but also believed in the wrong person, ending up in such a miserable end.

Luckily, God gave her another chance to reborn.

This time, she must take back everything step by step that had been stolen by Charlotte, including her bedroom.

Rita took her mother's hand and smiled, "Mom, didn't worry. I would get it back when it was the time."

"… Well." Looking at the sensible and obedient girl now, Zoe was comforted with tears in her eyes. It seemed that their daughter had grown up overnight.

"Mom, what's wrong? Why were you crying again?" Seeing her mum's tears, Rita felt lost.

Zoe held back her tears and gently touched Rita's head, "Nothing, Mom was happy."

After finishing talking, Zoe seemed to think of something. She looked at Rita worriedly, "Rita, would you tell Liam that you stayed in Brown's house, or he would be worried about you as you didn't return home for a long time.

'Worried?'

A miserable smile appeared in Rita's face.

'Liam won't worry.'

She thought that he would have preferred her not going back.

"Well, I've just texted him that I would stay here". Rita indeed sent the text message, not to Liam, but to Mrs. Davis.

Rita thought that there was no need to report to a person who didn't care about herself for not going back for a whole night.

***

The next morning, Rita farewelled with her parents and took a cab back to the Wilson's home.

The Wilson's home was in the villa area, and the cab could not enter at will, so Rita could only walk to home for a distance.

To save time, she chose to take the path home.

There were few passers-by in path and here was extra quiet, but after a few steps, she heard the laugh of man and woman. Rita was surprised and looked toward there.

She saw a man pressing the woman for a kiss on the bench.

The woman seemed to have a nasal sound after a deep kiss. The scene made Rita's face flushed.

She looked away from both the men and women, turned her head and returned.

Just two steps farther, her phone rang untimely.

She hurried to reach phone, glanced at the number and immediately hung up.

But the ring rang again and again, helplessly, she picked up the call.

"Why not answer my call?" Not waiting for Rita to say something, the caller questioned indifferently.

"I was busy."

Well, she was indeed busy. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

She was hurry to get out of here so as to not disturb the lovers behind.

"Busy?"

Obviously, Liam didn't believe her. He even had a perfunctory feeling and then lowered his voice.

"Well." Rita responded indifferently, escaping the awkward scene in quick and short steps, "What could I do for you?"

After finishing the talk, Rita was held by a big hand suddenly and she was forced to stay still.

Rita looked back, her dark eyes just encountering a strange face. The man was handsome, especially the curving and smiling eyes, which was eye-catching.

'Who was this man …?'

"When would you come home, Jacob?"

"Just several minutes."

When Rita was wandering, she heard Liam's voice from the phone. Then she hung up after leaving a word.

She didn't notice that the man was looking at her phone screen. When the man knew that it was a call from Liam, his face darkened.

But when she looked up, his eyes smiled again.

"Sir, did you have any problem?" Rita politely asked, but her hand quickly pulled away from the man's warm palm.

The man slanted slightly, and his sexy thin lips came to her ear, teased, "You had scared away my honey and ruined my date. Would I ask you to make compensation?"

'Was this man sitting on the bench?'

Because of poor eyesight, Rita could only distinguish between men and women three meters away. So, she made it clear now.

'It was him!'

Rita grinned, "It was hard to not see such a scene outside. Sir, why should you blame others for the trouble you have caused for you had selected a wrong dating location?"

"…" The man was startled, apparently, he did not expect her to say so.

He glanced at her with interest, reached for her chin and teased, "Well, a glib girl was my dish. How about paying yourself back?"

"Ridiculous!" Rita left a word and turned away.

But the next second, she was pinned directly by the man to the nearby pillar.

"What were you doing, let me go!" Rita yelled and her body began to struggle.

Suddenly, the man's handsome face came near, whispered, "Oliver Roberts."

"… what?"

Rita did not know what he said, and she looked at the man in surprise.

The man looked down on her from top to bottom, his dark eyes sweeping through her clear eyes, and finally felling on her pink lips, which like budding petals. At that moment, his heart beat raced.

Especially when she chuckled, he felt an impulse and desire to kiss her.

"Remember, my name is Oliver Roberts." The man said gently again, and his sexy lip couldn't help but to kiss her.

This scene, coincidentally, was seen by Liam who was going to go to company.

Especially, when Liam saw Oliver to kiss Rita, he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Seeing Rita did not struggle, Liam went over.

His big hand like a hawkbill catching Oliver's collar and fling it away, and reached out to the dumbfounded woman standing still into his arms. He asked indifferently, "Was this the so-called busy?"
