A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

David sneered, with a disapproving attitude,"That is not necessarily a misunderstanding."

What he meant was that, there were too many social climbers who would do anything and everything to marry into a rich family. He had seen plenty of such examples in his past life.

Rita turned to him in shock, as she glared at David's self-righteous expression. In a cold voice, she refuted,"You don't know Emily at all, so please keep your judgments to yourself. You have no right to talk about her like that."

"Okay, I see," replied David. David habitually compromised with Rita, as he sensed that she had a tendency to be angry. In the past few days, he had grown accustomed to coaxing her whenever she got angry and he also made sure not to lose his temper or patience with her.

Besides, Emily was not his priority. There was no need for him to quarrel with Rita about Emily's business. If he had continued the conversation, he would have far more to lose than to gain.

"Since you want to know why I am unwilling to live with you, I will tell you the reason." Rita was not in the mood to go on arguing either, so she turned switched the subject. "You see, Jacob likes Emily. How about you? Do you like me?" she asked.

David paused, as he opened his mouth but could not think of the right thing to say.

"Is it too difficult for you to answer this question?" Rita smiled, as her beautiful face became even lovelier, and said,"I'll answer this question for you. The answer is David had never liked Rita."

There was no denying the fact that even after all the years they had been together, David never really loved Rita!

Their relationship was a dead end.

"So please stop making these ridiculous requests," said Rita, sounding unconcerned.

The indifference in Rita's facial expression made David's heart ache. He wanted to explain, but he just couldn't find the right words.

An awkward silence had filled the car. With nothing else to talk about, David drove on without looking at Rita.

After a while, Rita suddenly called out his name,"David."

David took his eyes off the road to look at Rita, and found that her face had turned pale, as if the blood from her face had been drained. Frightened and confused, David asked,"What's wrong?"
