Sweet Divorce

He got far more sober, seeing that Rita was excited.

He opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but he said nothing eventually.

She would not listen to him now.

After all, she was deeply hurt by what he had done.

And she would not forgive him easily.

He stood up and walked out the door. But he seemed to think of something, then he turned and looked at Rita.

“Sorry, I was drunk just now.”

“I know.”

She smelt the alcohol when he came in.

And she knew why he apologized.

He was telling her not to take it seriously.

She knew it.

And she wouldn’t even if he didn’t say that.

She stopped imagining that he would love her after she had been dead once.

“But I’m serious about what I’ve said.”

He spoke when her mind wandered.

Rita lifted her head in surprise and met his clear eyes.

He seemed to have sobered up.

Then why did he say that?

Thinking of something, she was annoyed and said in a cold voice, “Liam…”

“Don’t rush to give your answer. Just think about it carefully.”

She was about to refuse his request but he interrupted, “I’ll sleep in another room, you may sleep on the bed tonight.”

Speaking, he closed the door for her gently.

Rita was shocked until the door was closed.

Gazing at the door, she kept frowning, with her eyes filled with mixed felling.

In the end, things had panned out in the way that she was unhappy to see.

Liam must be consumed with guilt after he knew he had misunderstood her all the time.

He said that possibly because he wanted to make amends for the past.

But a loveless marriage would finally fall apart.

Moreover, she did not love him anymore.

Rita breathed with a sigh and laid back on the bed.

It was meant to be a sleepless night for both of them.

The next morning, there was a knock at the door and then someone came in, “Mrs. Wilson, get ready for the breakfast. You…”

Mrs. Davis walked in, and she was shocked when she saw Rita was packing her stuff, “Mrs. Wilson, why are you packing the bag? Where are you going?”

“Well, there are too many courses recently, so I want to live in school for some days.” She smiled and explained, but she did not dare to meet Mrs. Davis’s eyes.

Mrs. Davis did not buy it.

There was nobody else, so Mrs. Davis took Rita’s hand and asked her worriedly, “Mrs. Wilson, did you have a fight with Mr. Wilson last night?”
