Sweet Divorce

Chapter 206 Lead Herself into A Trap

Although Liam took a break in the car, he was still sleepy.

Rita asked Lee to drive him home.

She thought he could get some sleep at home, but Liam was upset.

He grew ice-cold immediately, which unnerved others in the car. “You don’t want to stay with me?”

Rita was surprised when she met his eyes.

She pinched her lips, thinking about how to respond. And Jacob held his breath when he saw Liam was scowling.

Damn it!

Why hadn’t he got off the car just now?

Why was he so unfortunate to appear every time when they were about to have a fight?

Liam was about to lose his mind ever since Rita had broken up with him.

Therefore, he was the one who got into the trouble every time when he and Liam met Rita.

Then Liam would vent his anger on him.

If she refused, Liam might want to eat him and Lee alive.

He could say that Rita was in control of their lives now.

‘My goodness.’ Jacob thought.

He could even kowtow to her if she did not annoy Liam.

Jacob stared at Rita with bated breath.

Rita thought for a while and lifted her eyes to look at Lee. “Lee, please drive us to my apartment in the Southern Area.”

“OK.”

Lee kept nodding his head.

In the meantime, Jacob, whose nerves were stretched to breaking point, glanced at Liam secretly.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief after he found Liam no longer scowled.

He was safe now, thank God.

Liam and Rita returned to the apartment at noon.

Although Liam had a rest in the car, he was still lack of sleep. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

He closed the door of Rita’s bedroom and lay down on her bed.

Rita found he was exhausted, so she eased her way to put a blanket over him. Then she went to the bathroom.

When she walked out, she saw he was looking at her tiredly.

She was bemused. “Why don’t you sleep?”

“I’m waiting for you.” Speaking, he moved up to make the space for her.

A pink flush spread over her pretty face because of the explicit invitation. “I’m not tired.”

“But I am, and I want you to stay with me.”

Liam said gently. He tapped on the bed with his slender hand and signaled her to come closer.

But she stayed motionless. Then he raised his eyebrows. “Sweetie, if you need me to carry you to the bed, then it’s not just sleeping.” He would not control himself anymore.

And he would definitely ask for more.

His eyes glittered with desire when he sat on her bed and spoke to her.

She felt her cheeks flushed red when she realized what he was insinuating.

Why did she weaken and ask him to come home with her?

Wasn’t she leading herself into a trap?

Was it too late to regret?

But it seemed that she could not ask him to leave now.

Under the stare of Liam, Rita no longer resisted. She lay down next to him quickly.

Liam kissed her on her cheeks, smiling. “Good girl.”

Good girl?

That was because he forced her to go to the bed!

Though Rita was disgruntled, she still did not dare to display her feelings.

There were only Liam and her. She was afraid that he would want to have sex with her because of something she said. Then she might not be able to withstand.

Maybe because he was too tired, he fell asleep very soon.

But Rita did not know how well he had slept because she was lying next to him.

She wanted to get up to kill time by drawing. But as long as she made a move, he would hold her closer. In the end, she could barely move.

She lay in his arms with a frown.

It was not that easy just sleeping with others.

She laughed quietly and lifted her eyes to look at Liam.

His handsome face was always impassive. But even he closed his eyes, he was still attractive.

Every time when she saw him, she would be amazed at his appearance and could not help looking at him.

Even though she was reborn, she still found his striking looks irresistible.

After she gazed at him for a long time, she was finally bored and fell asleep as well.

When they were sleeping, there was a knock at the door.

Rita did not fall into a deep sleep, so she was awoken soon.

She looked at the door in a puzzlement.

Just a few people knew this apartment.

Lillian had moved away. Oliver also knew it. But when she called Isabelle the other day, Isabelle said Oliver was helping Rowan to prepare his wedding. And Oliver even hadn’t been to the school recently.

Therefore, it wasn’t him.

However, what else could it be?

She was still thinking, but there was another knock at the door.

The knock also stirred Liam from a deep sleep. Frowning, he was annoyed by the noise.

Rita spoke gently to comfort him when she found he was awoken. “I’m going to see who it is. You may continue.”

“No.” Liam did not open his eyes but rested his chin on her head. And he did not want her to move.

Rita smiled resignedly, “What about the guy outside the door?”

“He will leave if no one answers.” He did not want anyone to interrupt them.

Rita was amused by his words.

He was so shrewd.

Because he was unwilling to open the door, she did not insist. Then she lay down again.

But someone continued to knock on the door.

And her phone began to rang.

Rita looked at the screen and found it was Michael.

But, Michael?

Why would he call her at this moment?

No matter what he wanted to do, she still did not want to answer the phone when she thought of what he had done to the Brown family, so she hung up directly.

Liam squinted his eyes when he saw Rita looked sullen. “Who is it?”

“Nothing. Just a salesman.”

She made up an excuse in order not to bother him.

Then she received a message.

It was from Michael.

And the message was quite brief: “Rita, I know you are here, open the door!”

Liam happened to saw the message when he lowered his head.

His eyes crinkled when he saw Michael’s name.

Last night, he found something went wrong with her telephone. And then the crystal chandelier fell from the ceiling when Michael and Rita were about to left the restaurant. At that time, he suspected that Michael was threatening Rita.

Then he checked Michael’s recent calls list.

And he was right. It was Michael who called Rita that night.

Therefore, the one who threatened her was also Michael.

Liam planned to deal with Michael after he handled the current situation. But he did not expect Michael would come here.

Fine.

Liam sat up and got off the bed immediately. “I’m going to see him. Stay here.”

Rita held her breath when he got out of the bed impassively.

She had a presentiment of disaster…
