"Who?" Liam looked at Jacob in confusion.
Jacob glanced around and then whispered to the man, "Rita!"
"It's impossible!" How could he fall in love with her? It's really impossible!
Seeing that the man had denied so decisively, Jacob found something wrong.
After recalling Liam's recent abnormal behaviors, he said with a bitter smile, "Liam, I think you have fallen for her!"
"Nonsense. I won't fall in love with her. She murdered Joey! How can I fall in love with her!" Liam denied it again, thinking that Jacob was talking nonsense.
But this time, his denial was not as resolute as before.
At this moment, Liam was also shocked.
'Do I fall in love with her?'
"Liam, I also hope that you won't fall in love with her!" Ever since Rita married Liam, Jacob didn't have a good impression of her, and so he did now.
However, thinking of Liam's recent behaviors, he closed his eyes desperately.
'What a fucking life ...'
'Who can save him?'
After complaining in his heart for a while, Jacob came to his senses. Seeing that Liam was lost in thought, Jacob patted his shoulder. "Don't think about it, Liam. Lookers-on see more than players! Time will tell you whether you like her or not."
'Time?'
With a frown, he raised his hand to touch his forehead, falling into deep thought again.
Seeing that he was in a dilemma, Jacob wisely chose to leave.
Liam looked up and glanced in the direction of a room on the second floor. Did he really like her?
After thinking for a long time, he still didn't find the answer.
***
In the room on the second floor.
As soon as Rita entered the room, she kept reviewing the lessons she had missed.
After learning from the book, she picked up the pencil and practiced the design of jewelry on the paper.
She drew diamond rings of different styles, which made her wrist sore, but she still did not intend to stop. Lowering her head, she kept practicing, drawing, and wiping.
"Are you designing a diamond ring?"
Suddenly, she heard a strange voice from behind, which scared her and made her raise her head.
She didn't look back at him but simply replied, "Well, I'm going to participate in the design competition in F City this year."
For example, she was affected by him now!
In her mind, it's not good for her to be always affected by him, so she had to find a way to leave Liam as soon as possible.'
Perhaps she was too absent-minded, so her hand, which hold the pen, lost its direction and went straight out of the paper.
"What are you doing?" Liam, who was affected by her act, turned to look at her in confusion. But the two of them were so close, which almost caused his thin lips to fell on her pink cheeks.
Only then did he realize how flirtatious his behavior was.
The man forced himself to let go of the woman's tender little hands and straightened his body, pretending to be calm. "You still need to practice your drawing more."
"OK."
Rita nodded and didn't say anything else. For a moment, she felt embarrassed.
Ringing –
The phone rang at the right time.
"What's wrong?" The man grabbed the phone and walked out.
When the door slammed, Rita's tensed body finally could relax.
When she lowered her head and looked at her hand that was touched by Liam, she had mixed feelings... In the end, she was determined that she wanted to divorce and leave this man as soon as possible...
