Sweet Divorce

Chapter 201 You’ve Got Some Nerve Hitting My Girl

Morning the next day.

As the sky lightened, Rita woke to the clamor of her alarm.

She’d cried too fiercely last night. Her eyes were swollen. She shot a look at her phone, switched off the alarm, and checked her missed calls.

No missed calls.

Liam hadn’t called again or texted her.

Seems like he’d lost patience in her.

Good.

That was good.

Blow after blow to his heartstrings – that should be enough to accept it when she said that she never loved him, right?

Enough to let her go, even hate her… without his weak spot, whatever happened to her or the Brown family, he wouldn’t care or be threatened.

Thinking of that, Rita’s heartache stopped.

She clambered up, rinsed herself up, and went downstairs.

Noah and Amelia were having breakfast right now.

Seeing her come down, Amelia looked at her swollen eyes and frowned. “Did you not sleep well last night, Rita?”

Noticing Amelia was staring at her eyes, Amelia rubbed them awkwardly. “I slept well enough… drank too much water yesterday and bloated up.”

Walking out of the kitchen, Zoe just so happened to hear Rita’s excuse.

Zoe frowned. “What do you mean you drank too much water. You were crying too hard because of your stomachache last night, weren’t you?”

“If you’ve got a stomachache, just say so. What’s with the story, kid?” Noah wore a confused expression at the side.

With her lie mercilessly deconstructed by her mother, Rita made a face. “Just didn’t want Dad and Grandma to worry is all.”

Rita’s explanation had Noah even more worried.
