Sweet Divorce

Chapter 58 It was All Because of Him

After the car just drove out of the underground parking, it started drizzling.

The air then started getting humid.

This kind of humidity was not unusual for normal people, but for Rita, it was like a torture.

She felt incredibly itchy on her left foot because of the weather change and wanted to scratch those scars.

Because there were other people in the car, she can only force the urge to scratch her feet.

But failing to withhold it anymore, she secretly stepped on her left foot using her right foot so she would feel painful rather than itchy.

‘It was so itchy!”

Rita lowered her head and stepped her left foot even harder.

But this clumsy trick didn’t actually work.

“What’s wrong?” Liam suddenly asked.

Pausing her action, Rita shook her head and said, “It’s nothing.” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Hearing these two perfunctory words, Liam’s face darkened.

He then stooped and held Rita’s left foot by force.

Liam then naturally saw all the bruises and scars on her ankle and left foot. He then paused all of a sudden and asked, “How did you get all these scars?”

Facing Liam’s questioning, Rita was feeling both heartbroken and furious.

‘Did he actually ask her that question? Didn’t he cause all of these?’

All the painful memories started flashing back and Rita’s face was terrible.

She stared at Liam who was sitting next to her in red eyes and sneered, “Well, Mr. Wilson, aren’t you forgetful?”

Looking at Rita’s face, Liam frowned and suddenly sensed something. He then asked coldly, “What do you mean?”

“Well, it doesn’t matter now.”

‘How can he forget? He probably won’t care for her even she was dead! Moreover, he just got furious and maimed her left leg for the woman he loved.’

Rita was bitterly disappointed.

Then she wanted to pull out her foot from Liam’s palm, but failed to do so because of his tight grasp.

She was even dragged even closer to Liam.

Her eyes suddenly met a pair of angry eyes. “What do you mean? Make it clear!”

He can clearly sense the questioning and sneer in her eyes.

“Let go of me!” Instead of explaining, Rita struggled again.

But at the next second, Liam suddenly strengthened his strength which sent pain all over Rita’s body.

Rita’s face turned pale because of the sharp pain and didn’t dare to move.

She then said in a trembling voice, “Let... let go of me!”

Seeing how painful she was, Liam suddenly released his hands.

Rita retracted her feet and cuddled herself in pain.

Lowering her head, Rita wanted to use the train of her dress to cover all the scars on her left foot and really didn’t want other people’s attention, and was even more afraid that she would sunk into her horrible past.

Looking at her, Liam felt weird inside.

Then all people in the car got silent.

Rita can only hear the pattering of rain drops on the car window.

When they got to the Wilson’s mansion, Rita got off the car in high heels and wobbled into the house without looking back.

Watching her back, Liam’s eyebrows furrowed.

Liam turned around and landed his eyes on Jacob. “Look into this.”

“Okay.” Though Liam didn’t say anything, Jacob knew perfectly well what he was trying to say.

Liam must want him to investigate how Rita’s foot got hurt.

“Liam, I want to take...” After wondering for a moment, Jacob looked up and wanted to say something, but found that the man who was standing next to him had already left and was chasing Rita.

‘Well, Liam! Could you please stop showing off that you are married!’

Jacob then didn’t say anything and asked the driver to send him home.

While Rita was dragging herself forward painfully, her body was suddenly lifted up. She was taken aback and screamed.

With her feet being up, Rita subconsciously wrapped Liam’s neck.

But at the same time, she frowned, “Liam. Put me down!”

“Don’t move.” Liam suddenly ordered while she was wriggling.

Rita froze and looked at him unbelievably.

Sensing her strange look, Liam looked straight ahead and added, “Grandpa would assume that I hurt you if he saw your limping.”

Just that.

Nothing else.

“I know that.” There was no need of explaining. She knew it herself.

She won’t be a fool anymore like what she did in her prior lifetime.

Since Liam was hugging her for grandpa, Rita stopping struggling.

Then Liam carried her into the bedroom.

When it’s at night, Mrs. Davis said to Liam, “Mr. Wilson.”

“Hi.”

Liam just nodded politely to Mrs. Davis’ greeting and continued flipping through the magazine.

Then Mrs. Davis handed a pack of something to him and said, “Mr. Wilson, it’s too late now. Could you please give this to Mrs. Wilson for me?”

“What is this?” Hearing her words, Liam landed his eyes on that thick pack.

“Well, Mrs. Wilson asked me to get these foot patches for her last time.”

Liam paused and took them. “Foot patches? Why would she need this?”

“Well, Mrs. Wilson has this lingering disease since she hurt her feet last time. Her left foot would get all itchy and painful whenever it rains or gets humid. So she would prepare some foot patches in advance whose heat can reduce some pain.”

Hearing Mrs. Davis’ speech, Liam’s eyes got complicated.

So she was constantly pressing her left foot because it was itchy and painful?

Putting down the magazine, Liam walked upstairs.

Rita was already lying on the carpet when he pushed the door open.

Liam didn’t know why, but it seemed that he was even more uncomfortable inside when she was obedient.

“Rita.” Liam called her name lowly, but she didn’t respond.

Was she asleep?

But when a bolt of lightning flashed, he can see that her lashes jittered a bit.

Liam frowned even more.

“Foot patches are at the bedside. You can wear it on yourself if your foot hurts.” Putting the foot patches down, Liam walked outside.

Rita’s shut eyes opened slowly when she heard that the door had been closed.

Glancing at the foot patches, she sat up to reach them.

But at the very next second, her hand touched something warm. She was in shock and immediately turned around.

She then met Liam’s deep eyes in darkness.

Liam!

Didn’t he go out?

Liam’s hand suddenly dragged her to the bed before she can even react.

She wanted to leave, but was wrapped tightly by Liam.

“You can sleep on the bed tonight.”
