Sweet Divorce

He Goes Straight to the Point

Rose had been dragged out.

Rita’s eyes rested on Amelia’s side.

But she was looking at Ted instead of Amelia. “Ted, are you free?”

“Miss Rita… what do you want me to do?” Ted jolted, not understanding what she meant.

Rita smiled, “Could you do me a favor?”

“Well…”

Ted worried it would be a trap because she asked him politely, and he did not dare to take it.

But as a servant, he could not turn her down in front of others, so he asked permission from Amelia who was sitting on the couch. “Mrs. Miller, may I…”

“Rita is also the Browns. Do whatever she wants you to do. No need to ask my advice.”

At Amelia’s words, Ted knew he should agree. “Miss Rita, how can I help you?”

“Well, nothing difficult. Just help me to slap Rose for fifty times.” Rita turned her face, and her dark eyes fell on Rose who was kneeling in the garden.

“But…”

“What? Is it difficult for you, Ted?” Rita frowned when she saw Ted hesitate.

Ted shook his head. “No, Miss Rita, I will try my best to do as you want. It’s not difficult, not at all.”

Not a bit.

He was glad to do her this favor.

As Master Mason’s wife, Rose had always been a bully who would vent her anger on the servants whenever she was upset.

And Ted was the one who fell victim for the most of the time.

The other day, Rose had thrown a cup of tea at him because the tea he served was hot, and there were still blisters on his hand and his body now.

He had had to endure her insolence before because he was nothing but a butler, but now –

Why would he turn down Rita’s request now that he could get even with Rose for that?

He would help Rita to slap her, and he would do this with all his strength.

Rita knew what he was thinking.

She had stood upstairs when Rose threw the hot beverage at him.

Though Ted did not say anything, he had been clenching his fists behind his back.

She thought he must be disgruntled.

The more disgruntled he got by Rose, the more ruthless would he be when he hit Rose.

So she picked Ted to do this, and she did not need to worry that Amelia would let Rose off easily.

Rita stopped thinking and smiled at Ted. “Thanks, Ted.”

“You’re welcome.” I’m very grateful that you give me this opportunity.

Ted said the second sentence in his head.

At Rita’s command, he walked out and came to Rose.

“Son of bitch! You hurt me. Hurry – let go of me.”

He approached and heard Rose curse loudly.

Frowning, Ted shot a glance at the two servants who were pinning Rose down and pretended to be upset. “What’s your problem? How could you be so rude to Mrs. Brown?”

“Ted, it’s very nice of you.”

“But it is the old lady who gives the order, so we have to make a show to please Rita and Liam. Am I right, Mrs. Brown?”

Ted managed to convince her, and she agreed after she thought for a while. “Then, be gentle.”

“Relax, I will be gentle…” like hell he would.

Ted replied with a smile but hit her with all of his strength.

Smack.

Rose’s head buzzed and her face were numb after the smack.

“Ted, you rat bastard! How dare you smack so hard! You… Agh!” There was another heavier smack.

Ted was offended by her.

The louder she cursed, the heavier he slapped.

Smack –

One, two…

After six smacks, there was blood oozing from the corner of her lips, and her cheeks were badly swollen.

Inside, Rita saw the miserable Rose and remained unmoved.

Amelia also saw this scene and she felt pity for Rose, but she did not dare to beg for her.

Why was this woman so dumb? So numb that she even was caught by Liam while cursing Rita.

Well.

She’d say Rose was reaping the consequence for that.

And she should blame no one.

Amelia peeped at Liam and broke the silence with a smile. “Liam, aren’t you busy today?”

“No.”

Rita asked, “Then why do you come?”

Sitting on the couch, the man lifted his head and said mildly. “I’m sleepy and want to sleep with you.”

Rita was stupefied by his words.

Sitting next to Rita, Amelia was also speechless.

Annie was choked in shock.

‘Mr. Wilson, do you always go straight to the point when it comes to sex?’ Annie thought.

Rita almost lost it when she heard his shocking words.

‘Darling, could you please finish your sentence?

You came for me to get some sleep because you got insomnia!

Why did it come out of your mouth like a dirty joke?’ Rita complained in her head.

And she was extremely embarrassed when she turned and saw Annie’s knowing smile.

Apparently, Annie got it wrong.

She was not the only one who misunderstood. So did Amelia.

My goodness.

How could she interpret this ambiguous sentence?

“Mrs. Miller, thanks for your invitation. I should go now.” Annie read the room and found an excuse to leave.

Amelia stood up quickly as well. “Sure, I’ll walk you out.”

They went out together and flicked a glance at the couple, sniggering.

Rita was abashed by their sniggering and explained, with her hands waving. “Granma, Annie, listen, it’s not what you look like. Don’t get it wrong.”

Trying to suppress her snigger, Annie said, “No, I don’t. Mrs. Miller and I have been there… we know what you want…”

Amelia nodded.

But did they really know?

What had they known?

They looked like they had totally misunderstood.

“No, you don’t. I… hey! Liam, let go of me. Let go.” Rita still tried to explain, but Liam carried her on his back and went upstairs.

They’d already misunderstood. Then his behavior made her fail to explain.

Rita almost exploded, “Liam, let me down.”

But Liam did not loosen his grip even though she seemed angered, and he even spanked her as a punishment. “Don’t move.”

Rita’s delicate face blushed red.

She had been struggling to come down, but now she did not dare to move a muscle.

Then they came into Rita’s room with everyone’s eyes fixing on them.

Liam had fallen asleep when he lay down on the pillow.

Though asleep, he was still holding Rita in his arms firmly.

Because he was a very light sleeper, Rita had to lie still and close her eyes to rest for a while.

The phone rang.

The embracing couple frowned in the same time.

Perhaps because he was awoken by the phone, Liam opened his eyes with anger.

He took a look at the ringing phone and wanted to hang up after he took it and checked the number.

But!

The anger in his dark eyes turned into the killing intent when his eyes fell on the screen.

After a pause of a second, he glanced at the girl in his arms and answered the phone. “Hello.”

The one in the other side of the phone kept quiet for a while.

To be exact, he was dumbfounded.

Michael’s brows knotted when he heard Liam’s voice, then he looked at the number on his screen.

It was Rita’s number indeed.

“Who is it?”

When Michael was still confused, Rita’s voice came from the phone.

And her sweet voice sounded a bit hoarse, as if she just woke up.

His hand tightened on the phone, and his eyes were smothering with anger. “Why are you staying together?”

Liam’s thin lips curved when he heard that, “Is it strange that I am with my girl?”

Stung by his words, Michael was close to lose his temper. “Let Rita take the phone.”

“That’s not convenient.”

“You…”

Michael wanted to say something, but Liam had cut him off.

He was cut off!

Liam hung up the phone!

Furious, Michael threw his phone on the floor. His phone hit the ground and broke into pieces instantly.

“Mr. Davies, what’s wrong?” Standing outside the door with a cup of coffee, his assistant did not dare to come in when she saw that.

Ever since the company had been founded, Michael always treated others kindly. And she’d never seen him so angry.

Something must go wrong.

“Nothing.” Michael rubbed his brows and went out after he grabbed the coat on his chair. “Clean these up. I’ll be out for a while.”

Leaving her with that, Michael walked out and drove to Rita’s home.

In the same time, in the Brown household.

Sleepy, Rita opened her eyes.

Seeing Liam answer her phone, she held out to take the phone and looked at the recent calls.

Her heart did a flip when she saw it was from Michael.

Michael knew she was with Liam!

But she calmed down the next moment.

Never mind.

He would know eventually.

Through her post, she drew the public attention to the P. Group, and Michael was also affected.

As she could know, the police also began to investigate him.

Now Michael should consider carefully before he decided to take action against Liam and the Browns.

And she no longer feared him without the weak spot.

She turned off her phone and put it away, lying down. “I’m still sleepy. And I want to sleep a little longer.”

Liam looked down at the pretty face in his arms and smiled uncontrollably, lying down as well.

But he did not fall asleep.

Holding the woman to his chest, he really enjoyed this leisure and sweetness.

One minute had passed…

Two minutes had passed…

Three minutes had passed…

Suddenly, the man broke the silence, “Rita?”

“What?” Rita answered with her closed eyes.

Her soft voice almost melted his heart, and he tried hard to hide the desire in his eyes which had been spreading over inside his body.

He managed to suppress it, “Remarry me next month.”

“Next month?”

“Yeah.”

“Not so fast. I haven’t decided yet.”

Haven’t decided?

Liam’s eyes grew cold at once.

Although Rita had felt drowsy, she still sensed the frightening coldness behind her. The she sobered up.

Great, she annoyed him again.

What should she do?

Flatter him?

Forget it… Play dumb now.

Rita decided to play possum to get over this after she thought for a while.

But Liam had known what was going through her mind.

He said meaningfully with his thin lips next to her ear, “Take your time, I’ll do it.”
