The numbed left leg was held in his warm hand, which was later pulled back by Rita determinedly.
“It doesn’t ache. I am fine.”
“Really?” Liam hardly believed her.
Rita disgusted herself by looking at somewhere else, “I am so tired that I need to sleep. So I am sorry
to have you sleep on the floor tonight.”
Before Liam gave her a response, she turned her back to him with quilt on her, closing eyes.
Although lying on the bed, she listened to any sound made by him carefully.
She took a deep breath after making sure that he was lying on the floor.
The whole room was so quiet that even the sound of a needle dropping on the ground could be heard.
The clock kept going and an hour passed.
“Rita?” suddenly a low voice broke the silence of the room.
Liam turned his head to look at her, and raised his hand consciously in order to hold her in his arms
firmly listening to her steady breath.
But his hand paused in the air for several seconds and he withdrew, staring at her left leg emotionally.
If he had recognized her as the girl by his side at that time, then no villain could hurt her and her leg
was not broken.
Obviously, his attitude decided her fate.
If he had treated her better, nobody would scheme against her so directly.
At this thought, he clenched his fist more tightly, “Sorry.”
This word spoken from his mouth was very low yet clear, which penetrated the air and landed on Rita’s
ear. Then a drop of tear ran down her face through hairs and was absorbed by the pillow, leaving a dot
on it.
In the moonlight, Rita dissolved into tears but silently.
On the next day, when she woke up, her eyes were swollen like ring bells.
She soaked in the bath with two eye masks to reduce the swelling.
After the bath, she wore a makeup of plain colors to hide the swollen eyes, hoping to look better.
Then she went downstairs with a bag.
At the moment, in an expensive car parking in the yard, Liam was sitting with his legs crossed,
concentrating on a newspaper.
He should arrive at the office now as he did in the past, but today he showed no sign of leaving.
It’s about to be late for work and the driver glanced at Jacob by his side, asking carefully, “Mr.
Thompson, it’s almost eight o’ clock. When shall we go?”
“But somebody is not here.” Jacob who guessed out Liam’s mind said slowly with a broken heart.
The driver was stupefied, and asked curiously, “Who? Who dare to have Mr. Wilson waiting?”
Driver had been Liam’s driver for three years and had seen many people by following him.
In this city, it’s everyone that waited for Mr. Wilson for a long time. But today, it’s the first time for him to
see that Mr. Wilson waited for someone patiently.
He or she must be high in status.
Driver was more interested in whom Mr. Wilson was waiting for.
Now Rita opened the door and walked towards them. Hearing the steps, Liam put down the
newspaper.
Looking at her who was in the garage, he winded down the window, “Your car needs to renew the oil. I
let the housekeeper change the oil and maintain the car.”
Rita nodded, and frowned at the sight of other cars in the garage.
They were either too priceless or of flaunt.
If she drove one of them to the campus, she must be discussed in the forum immediately.
After the rumor of the affair, she didn’t want to draw people’s attention.
It seemed that she had to take a bus.
Making the decision, she walked to the gate.
“Today, I send you to the campus.” She heard what Liam said in an indifferent way.
Rita looked at him, shaking her head quickly, “Oh, thank you but I can take a bus there since your
destination is in the opposite direction.”
“I have to talk with a client this morning, so we are on the same way.”
Hearing his explanation, Jacob made complaints secretly in his mind.
The same way?
From the Eastern Area to the Western Area？
Oh, it’s really the same way.
Liam was able to tell a lie without any shame, in order to please his wife.
Liam recent behaviors were so abnormal that Jacob chose to pretend deaf and blind.
Meanwhile, Liam opened the car door, “Come on.”
“Oh, thank you so much.” Rita had no other choice but to compromise.
Noticing her sitting down, Liam looked at the driver and ordered, “Now here we go.”
Driver was stunned and glanced at Rita seated on the back of the car.
How could she be the one whom Mr. Wilson was waiting for?
Rita？！
Since they got married, Mr. Wilson had considered her disgusting. Why did he treat her so well now?
Although he was so surprised, he daren’t ask the question, and began driving immediately.
“What time is your class over? I can order someone to pick you up.” Liam scanned her face and
paused, thinking that she was wearing a makeup.
She was a natural beauty, and was too lazy to spend time on her face.
The makeup was not heavy, but she was still gorgeous.
Therefore, Liam was attracted by her and became absent-minded.
“Don’t bother to pick me up. I promised the director to film with Oliver after class today.” Hearing the
name, Oliver, Liam’s face turned grim and solemn.
The reason why she put on makeup was that she was going to meet Oliver.
Thinking of it, Liam was much more jealous of Oliver.
Although he was emotional now, he managed to look calm and replied steadily, “Alright, when the
filming is over, call me and I will have someone pick you up.”
“OK.” Rita reluctantly nodded, unwilling to talk more with him on it.
But after the work, it depended on her whether to call him or not.
After the short conversation, the two people became quiet again just as nothing happened.
In W. University, the car stopped at the road side. Rita went off, say thanks to them.
After the door was closed, Liam who was sitting with legs crossed suddenly looked obviously
displeased.
He looked at Jacob with a stony face, saying, “The new bar seems good. Let’s enjoy the drinks there. I
will pay all the bills.”
Then he took out a credit card of no cap from his pocket to Jacob.
Jacob was surprised.
What happened? Did he decide to be nice to him?
And he must know that it’s time to please him again since he ignored him recently.
Staring at the card, which was the only one in F City, Jacob was deeply touch with tearful eyes, “Liam,
you are my best brother.”
“There’s a condition. Oliver should not appear in the W. University today.”
Hearing this, Jacob failed to control his facial expression, speechless.
He should have known that there must be a certain requirement.
