Sweet Divorce

With eyes fixed on Grandpa Jim who passed away so suddenly, Rita just went blank and felt heartbroken.

Why?!

She remembered that Grandpa Jim was gone at the end of this month in the last incarnation. Why did it happen earlier?

She hadn’t accompanied him for a long time.

“Grandpa! Grandpa…”

She was about to step forward but fell on the floor for she was in a disturbed state of mind.

Michael was stunned and ready to help the weeping girl stand up.

But at this moment, Liam acted before him more quickly, holding the girl in his arms.

Looking at his beloved girl leaning on another man’s shoulder, Michael tried his best to control and calm himself.

What he could do was only to stand still, looking at her with love quietly.

“Rita?” Holding her in arms, Liam asked worriedly.

She stopped trembling, looking at the man’s face above her head with tears, and said, “He left us.”

Now she had no one to support her.

Now she could not do everything she wanted, because the one who always stood by her side was gone.

“But I am here.” He decided to protect her with his life. But Rita was so sorrowful that she neither understood what he meant nor thought about the meaning.

Later she left the room with Mrs. Davis’s help and all the arrangements about the funeral were handled by Liam.

The funeral was held two days later. At that day, it rained in this city where it had been sunny for days.

After the funeral, Liam was busy sending the guests and Rita was left alone with an umbrella standing in front of the gravestone.

The graveyard of depression was so silent that the low sound of the rain beating on the umbrella could be heard clearly.
