Sweet Divorce

The sound of their kiss and the warmth from the lips recalled her to herself completely.

Looking at his face with the perfect outline, she was so astounded that she tried to push him away.

But her hands were held firmly by Liam. She was unsatisfied and looked away, warning him out of anger,

“Don’t forget that you have promised not to touch me again.”

“Well, I remember.”

“So why do you still…” Kissed me?

At a glance of the girl who was offended in his arms, he explained slowly and clearly, “It’s I that always make the rules and other just need to obey them.”

“?”

“And my standards when I make rules depend on my feelings and moods.”

He broke the promise and tried to persuade her by sophistry.

Rita turned angrier immediately and looked away, ignoring him.

When they were silent, her stiff hands were gently rubbed by the man.

His warmth and care made her have mixed feelings.

She was moved by his tenderness for a second but this kind of feeling had nothing to do with love. Actually, she was just surprised by his behavior.

She died in the last incarnation and now she was not that into him as before.

She was hurt severely and she dared not love anyone.

Although she understood his thoughts and feelings, her heart was like a stone now.

After a while, she said in a low tone, “Liam, but I don’t love you.”

“…”

Her response brought back the silence. She thought that if they talked frankly this time, maybe he would stop his attempt.

Although it may be hard for him to accept the fact, he had better know about her decision as soon as possible.

She decided to ruin his hope completely.

She struggled to free herself from his arms, “I am fine now. Let’s walk down the mountain.”
