Sweet Divorce

Liam drew himself closer in a sudden. Rita subconsciously ducked back. Her heart beat fast because of fluster. Seeing that Liam was only looking at her, Rita relaxed herself a little.

"I'm still the same Rita, the only difference is that..."

She paused for a moment, and looked up to meet his cold eyes without blinking, "I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE. I want to divorce you. I want to leave here!"

Her voice was not loud but full of determination. Looking at the determined look on Rita's face, Liam's face got somber. It wasn't the first time that Rita had said things like this.

In the past, he was never affected by such words. But today, he felt inexplicably annoyed.

"Oh, I don't need your love!" Liam snorted and pushed her away, "But if you want to get a divorce ... I'm afraid it's not that easy." His eyes met hers. Tension arose in the room.

"Liam, Liam, are you still listening?" not until he heard his grandpa's voice from the telephone did he turn his cold eyes away from Rita's face. He hid his coldness and softly said, "Yes, grandpa."

"What were you doing just now? I heard it sounded like you were bullying Rita again!" Grandpa Jim's voice sounded so worried as if he would came through the telephone to protect Rita, " Put Rita on the phone, I want to talk to her."

"Okay."

Liam answered and cast his eyes back on Rita, lowered his voice and said, " You don't need me to teach you what you should or should not say, right?"

Finishing his words, Liam handed her the phone.
