Sweet Divorce

Chapter 197 Don’t Be Afraid, I’m Here

Rita came to a restaurant with Liam, Michael and Noah.

“I really have to thank Michael this time, otherwise, I would still be in the prison if it weren’t for him.” Noah smiled at Michael.

But Noah didn’t notice that Michael and Liam were actually rivals in love and they had been guarding against and warning each other through eye expression along the way.

“Don’t mention it, uncle Noah. I would never stand by when it comes to Rita.” Michael smiled and pulled the chair next to him gently and landed his eyes on Rita, “Rita.”

“Rita.”

Just so it happened that Liam also patted on the chair next to him and also wanted Rita to sit there.

Glancing at Liam and Michael, Rita was really awkward and didn’t know what to do really.

“Dad, you go ahead and start ordering now. I need to use the restroom.” Rita smiled lightly and flied out of the private room.

She really needed silence now.

Once Rita was out of the room, Michael and Liam looked at each other.

Though they were both smiling outside, one can still sense the palpable fire between them.

Noah naturally figured out what was happening between them. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

‘Should I also go to the restroom?’ Noah was pretty awkward and thought inside.

After Rita got to the restroom, she leaned against the wall and pinched her nose bridge fretfully, “Why am I so unlucky! How come that they just met each other?”

Rita was really distressed at this point because she was afraid that she might be unable to deal with Michael and Liam at the same time.

She really regretted that why didn’t she stop her father when he offered to have lunch with Michael.

Rita sighed again and again absent-mindedly and didn’t notice that someone was approaching.

She just bumped into Michael after she turned around and immediately smelled an enchanting fragrance.

Then she just felt this immense pain.

“Sorry, I didn’t see you.” Rita steadied herself and took a step back to keep a distance from Michael.

But at the very next second, Michael just clutched at her arms and pulled her closer.

Seeing that she was about to hit Michael’s chest, Rita hurriedly put her hands between them and asked, “Michael, what are you doing!”

“I should be asking you this question.”

Rita frowned unnoticeably because of Michaels question. “I...”

“Do you really want to piss me off?”

While Rita wanted to say something, she was cut mid-sentenced by a freezing voice.

She immediately looked up and glared at Michael, “You promised me that you wouldn’t hurt him and my parents in half a month! Are you breaking your promise?”

Michael stared at Rita’s furious face and laughed, “Aren’t you the one who is failing to keep our promise?”

She promised that she would break up with Liam.

But she failed to deliver that.

He then suddenly let go of Rita and looked at the dazzling chandelier on the ceiling, “Do you think that this chandelier would fall off like it did that night?”

Rita felt that the chandelier shook a bit before Michael even finished his sentence and just heard a boom. The chandelier just fell down unexpectedly.

Boom!

Fortunately, there weren’t any customers passing by when the light fell, so there were no causalities, but it still caused a commotion.

Several staff members went downstairs hurriedly.

“How did this crystal lamp just fall down?”

“How weird is this!”

“It is lucky that that the repairman just left, otherwise, the glasses pieces would be all over his body.”

“Right! How frightening!”

Rita listened to the staff’s discussion and looked at the chandelier pieces downstairs in tremble.

At the moment, her mind was full of the images of blood-covered Liam lying in front of her.

“Rita, don’t challenge my bottom line again. Otherwise, I really can’t guarantee what would fall on Liam the next time.” Michael glanced at the pale Rita.

Rita was furious inside, but she really dared not to talk back to him.

Though she was really indignant at this point, she can only put up with him.

She would be asking for troubles if she tried to fight with Michael now.

Liam would be the one to suffer if Michael was pissed off.

So she really had no choice but to withhold herself now.

“What happened?” Noah walked outside after he heard the sound and was in shock when he saw the broken chandelier downstairs. “It’s a good thing that it didn’t hit anyone.”

Liam also froze a second when he saw the lamp. A trace of mixed emotions flied past his eyes.

But this complex emotion was immediately replaced by worry when he saw Rita’s pale face. He hugged the trembling girl into his arms and said gently, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

Rita felt like crying because of the warm hug.

She really wanted to hug him at this point.

But she suddenly felt a pair of freezing eyes staring at her behind.

Sensing Michael’s cold eyes, Rita felt that if she stayed in Liam’s chest one more second, Liam would just lie on the ground with blood everywhere.

No! She cannot let it happen!

She broke herself away from Liam’s warm hug violently, “Don’t hug me!”

Michael’s face brightened a bit because of Rita’s rejection, but Liam’s face just darkened ever more.

“Liam, how many times do I have to remind you that we’ve broken up?” Rita ignored Liam’s sullen dace and said seriously, “Don’t you ever touch me again!”

“What are you talking about, Rita? Did... did you break up with Liam?” Noah asked hurriedly.

Rita nodded, “Yes.”

“No.

Liam just denied immediately.

Hearing two complete different answers, Noah was in shock, “What happened? Are you two fighting?”

“Dad, I did break up with him.” Rita ignored Liam’s freezing eyes and just went down stairs with Noah.

“Dad, they would just serve our food late since there is an accident here. You can treat Michael another day. Mom is still waiting for you. Let’s go home first.”

“But...”

“Let’s go, dad.”

Noah wanted to say something but was interrupted by Rita.

Then Rita just left with Noah without looking back.

She really didn’t know how to face Liam’s questioning look if she stayed any further. She would lose her mind.

Seeing that she was running away, Liam stood up and immediately followed.

But at the very next second, he was blocked by someone.

Looking at Michael who was deliberately stopping him, Liam’s face darkened, “Get out of my way!”

“No!”

Liam was immediately agitated by Michael’s answer and put on murderous aura.
