Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 217

With that, Liam kissed her on the lips.

Rita’s face blushed right away and knew what he meant just now.

In the meantime, Michael got off the car and walked into the Browns’ villa.

Sipping her tea, Amelia was upset when she saw it was Michael, and she signaled Ted to block him.

“Isn’t Rita here?”

“No. Mr. Davies, you should go.”

Ted said and asked him to leave, one hand pointing at the door politely.

With his way blocked, Michael took a look at the yard.

Although Liam’s black Maybach was not that conspicuous among the cars, it was still noticeable.

He could see it easily.

So why wasn’t Rita here while Liam’s car was in the yard?

Apparently…

The one that stopped him did not want him to come in.

The thought made him scowl.

He past Ted and went straight up to the yard.

“Mr. Davies, I’ve said that Miss Rita isn’t here. Mr. Davies? Sir!”

“Back off!”

“Mr. Davies, I’m just a servant. Don’t make it difficult for me.”

Rita heard Michael’s voice when they were squabbling.

She pushed Liam away with a frown when he still tried to get closer. “It sounds like Michael.”

“Then?”

“There’s a problem between him and me that I need to fix.”

Liam’s forehead knotted in a frown. “So…”

“So I should come downstairs now.”

Liam’s black eyes went through his clothes which were all mussed up and came rest on the women at his side. “Do you think it’s appropriate to leave me alone at this point?”

Rita should be disgruntled being interrupted, but she laughed out.

Well.

Was he the cold Liam he used to be?

Why did she think he had changed now?

Her arms crept his neck, and she spoke to him tenderly, “But I’ve got something to do now. Just wait for a moment.”

“No!”

“Good boy.” Rita kissed on his cheek and went out of the room.

Rubbing his forehead, Liam felt his head ached.

In the yard.

Ted and Michael were still confronting each other.

Ted spoke again resignedly, “Mr. Davies, you should go now.”

Ignoring Ted’s words, Michael continued to step forward impassively.

They released Michael at Rita’s order, but they stayed and stepped back to stand beside Rita, as if they were ready to throw Michael out as long as Rita asked.

“Michael, you know well whether or not you’ve done this to the Browns.” With her cold voice, Rita stared impassively at the man who was still urban and gentle in front of her.

Michael’s heart jolted when he heard that.

Then he explained hurriedly, “Rita, though I’ve contacted Ralph Watts, it is merely because of the business, not because I plan to scheme against the Browns.”

“That was a terrible excuse.”

“I…”

“Michael, I won’t tell you to be nice. After all, the Browns and the Burkes hurt you first. But… I won’t let you destroy the Brown family as you did to the Burkes.”

Poker-faced, Rita said every syllable firmly and resolutely.

Michael jolted when he felt the enmity in her words, then he nodded and made a promise. “OK, I know. Don’t worry, I won’t harm the Browns from now on.”

There was downright hatred between him and the Browns, meanwhile, he really loved her.

Last time, he bowed to pressure and took action against the Browns. Although he was pushed to, he did challenge her bottom line.

He did not want to see she resent him gradually.

He did now know why she would protect this family even though she wasn’t the flesh and blood of the Browns, but he would not hurt them again if she wished.

Michael kept that to himself.

Then he stepped toward her and held her into his arms tenderly. “Rita, all I want is you. I can forget all the enmity and hatred if you marry me.”

Rita’s body stiffened when he hugged her.

Before she had pulled herself free, Liam happened to saw them when he went down.

He got furious and obsessively jealous at that moment.
