Sweet Divorce

Liam’s interference changed the essence of the matter.

In the dimness, the air was filled with hostility.

The two men were like some volatile that could go off in any second and devastate the whole area.

“Your woman? Seems like you have a bad memory, Liam. You and Rita have divorced.” Oliver straightened his back and looked at Liam with mockery in his eyes.

Liam’s face became dark instantly at Oliver’s provocation.

But the angrier he was, the more complacent Oliver was.

“She can be with whoever she wants to now, and you have no right to interfere.”

Oliver said as he reached his head out to take Rita back to his side.

But Liam snapped his hand back. “Divorce? That’s nothing but just a piece of paper. She’s mine, for the whole of my life.”

“Nobody covets her.”

Liam declared in a domineering way, fretting Oliver.

Oliver had reservations before, worrying that he might tarnish Rita’s reputation since she and Liam were still legally married.

But now? He had nothing to worry about.

He wasn't afraid of Liam at all now.

He wouldn’t let Liam just take the girl he loved away now that his grandfather finally relent to give him back his freedom.

Abruptly, Oliver wrenched his wrist out of Liam’s grip. She sneered. “But have you ever asked Rita, that would she like to be with you her whole life? Huh?”

Liam kept that cold look of his, wordless.

His eyes looked as still as water under the dim light, from which no one could tell what he’s thinking.

“Rita, I told you how I feel for you, I told you clearly. Would you be my girlfriend?”Oliver ignore Liam, his eyes fixing on Rita affectionately.

This was the first time Oliver got so serious, and he did so to win Rita’s love.

Rita would be lying if she’s said she wasn't moved. But that she was moved didn't mean she’s in love.

She chewed her lips. “I…”

“You don’t have to give me an answer now, think about it, and give me an answer when you think you have thought it through.”

Oliver finished so she didn’t get to refuse him.

He knew she would refuse him without hesitation.

After all, she thought he only approached her just because he thought Rita’s was Liam’s weakness.
