Sweet Divorce

Chapter 159 Are You Keeping Me

Rita was quite shocked over Liam coming to live in the Brown household.

But after her shock, she was also quite moved.

She wasn’t stupid; she understood why Liam had moved over to the Brown house.

He probably wasn’t about to give up.

In other words – if the Mountain wouldn’t go to Mohammed, Mohammed must come to the Mountain…

Rita had known Liam for years. In her knowledge, that man was always the same, cold way towards anyone.

She never thought that he’d change for her one day.

Even going so far as to forget his identity and status and move to the Brown household.

The still lake of her heart started rippling under a warm breeze.

“Don’t just stand there, Rita. Wash your hands and come eat dinner.”

Maybe she’d stared off into space for too long, but Zoe started urging her. “Oh, and bring me that rib soup.”

“The soup’s too hot, Mom. I’ll do it.”

Liam said, getting up and heading to the kitchen.

Looking at how attentive he was being, Zoe’s bearing was one of a mother-in-law’s thorough appreciation. She beamed. “Look at how much he cares about you, Rita. Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth; find a way to get back together with him.”

The corner of Rita’s mouth twitched.

She didn’t know what weird potion Liam had given her mother in the one afternoon she was away from home, but Zoe was just full of praise for him right now.

Ignoring her dazzled mother, she followed him into the kitchen.

Standing in front of the sink, she glanced fleetingly at the man at her side.

Breaking the silence, she mumbled, “You shouldn’t waste time on me. Move back tomorrow.”

Hearing that, Liam was silent for a while. Soon, he took up the soup. “Do you know how to do interior work?”

“…can you not change the subject, we…”

“After we’re done with the renovations for the interior of the mansion, I’ll move out when you’re done with the blueprint.”

Before she could finish, Liam interrupted lightly, then passed her a set of blueprints and measurements.

Rita looked at the blueprint, confused.

Interior renovations?

She’d studied renovation out of interest a while back, but she was no professional.

Why wasn’t he seeking professional help and instead turning to her?

Whatever the reason, she wasn’t interested.

Naturally, her refusal was straight and to the point.
