Sweet Divorce

“What do you want?”

Jacob started at Rita cautiously.

Rita smiled, “I want you to be my accomplice.”

What?

Accomplice?

Jacob twitched his mouth and glanced at Liam who was sitting on the couch with his papers.

He then got up from the ground, “What for? Do you want me to kill somebody or set fire on something?”

Rita then realized her inappropriate choice of words.

While Rita was searching how to put it in another way, Jacob thought that she was considering his suggestions seriously.

‘Geez! Is she really wanting to kill somebody? Well, it’s true that she just saved my life, but why is she trying to screw me up again?’

Noticing that Jacob’s face was looking strange, Rita realized that he must have misunderstood something.

She hurriedly explained, “Rest assured. I won’t kill somebody nor commit arson.”

“What is it then?”

“I want you to be my guy.”

Jacob was taken aback by her words.

Her... Her guy?

Was he supposed to devote his life to her just because she saved his life?

Jacob’s face turned pale and immediately fell on his knees.

Rita was quite confused, “What are you doing?”

“Well, go ahead. Cane my one hundred times. I can’t really meet your demands. Liam would definitely kill me should he knows this. I’m begging you. I can do everything else for you apart from this.”

Hearing Jacob’s aggrieved begging, Rita knew that he had mistaken her once again.

She then pinched her eyebrows upsettingly, “Could you please stop thinking foolishly! When did I tell you that you have to devote your life to me?”

“But... But you said I have to be your guy.”
