Sweet Divorce

Rita pulled herself free and took a step backward to keep distance from him.

Michael jolted when she broke loose from his embrace.

He looked at Rita in a bewilderment.

“Rita…”

“No way.”

“What?”

He was still puzzled, so Rita interpreted with indifference again, “There’s nothing between us.

He looked a trifle anxious when he heard her words. “You still don’t believe that I haven’t hurt the Browns, right? What can I do to make you believe me, Rita?”

His voice was tender as usual, but it sounded a bit hoarse at this moment.

Rita was stunned when she heard his deep and husky voice.

Though Michael had been saying how much he loved her, she never bought it because she could not feel his love at all. But now she realized how important she was to him when she saw him so nervous.

Nevertheless…

She was not the one for him.

“Michael, even if you haven’t done anything to the Browns, I will never be with you. And there’s no way I will marry you because… I don’t love you.”

She did not love him?

Those words pricked his heart like a needle, and he felt a sting in his heart. “Do you love him?”

Michael did not point it out, but both of them knew who “him” was.

Rita nodded her head without hesitation. “Yeah.” She loved him; she loved Liam.

With his hands clenching at his side, Michael felt the unspeakable pain in his heart.

While Michael felt the bitterness, someone else was really pleased.

Liam felt like he was basking in the winter sun when she said that firmly, which got most of his jealousy and anger drained away.

In the sunlight, his tightening lips curved into a smile.

But Michael’s words put Liam in a bad mood very soon.
