“Rita, you’re back.”
When Rita and Oliver were full of doubts, Lillian Burke walked out of the second bedroom with her
suitcase.
When she saw Rita, she jumped right up and hugged Rita, “It's good that I can see you again before I
go.”
“Go? Where are you going?” Rita looked at Lillian, who was already red-eyed, in a daze, with
unspeakable dismay in her eyes.
Lillian let go of Rita and glanced to Atherden at her side, “I'm going to marry him.”
Get married?!
This sudden news gave Rita another shock.
Lillian was in love with Michael not long ago, and now she wanted to get married to another man?!
This was s sudden and too fast, so fast that Rita felt that Lillian simply was fooling around.
Marriage was not a joke, she can’t watch Lillian jump into the pit of hell again and again.
Rita raised her eyes and gave Atherden a polite smile, then turned her head to Lillian and dragged
Lillian into the room, “Excuse us for a second, I have something to talk about with Lillian, you two wait
inside the living room.”
Oliver nodded and walked straight into the kitchen, “Mr. Wright, would you like tea or coffee?”
Watching the door close tightly, Atherden then withdrew his eyes and sat upright on the sofa, “Tea
please.”
“My pleasure.”
With a snap, the door to the room closed.
Two girlfriends look at each other, but Rita's heart was full of worry, “Lillian, I hope you can think
carefully about getting married, I think you are not suitable to talk about marriage before you completely
let go of the last relationship.”
Feeling Rita’s concern for her, Lillian’s nose was sour as tears fell down her face.
“You... Why are you crying?” Rita looked down at Lillian, who was hugging her again, and Lillian’s eyes
were confused, and she suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, “I don't mean anything else, I'm just afraid
you'll have a hard time climbing out of one pit of hell and falling into another one.”
“I know.” Lillian dried her tears but hugged Rita tighter, “It feels good to be cared for by you, I thought...
I thought you would never care about me anymore, and I thought I completely lost you as a friend.”
Sucking in her nose, Lillian raised her head with teary eyes, “The day I watched you sadly leave, I
knew I was wrong, I can't wait to kick myself to make amends to you.”
Setting Rita up was the most foolish thing Lillian had done in her life, which was also the most
remorseful thing that she had done in her life.
Rita paused and fell into silence.
There was a time when she too thought her friendship with Lillian had come to an end.
But when she saw Lillian lying dying in front of her because of the trick Lillian played, all her hatred and
resentment dispersed, and at that moment there was only one wish in her head --
Lillian, you must be alive.
She curled her lips lightly, “Don’t mention it again, it’s all in the past. Are you serious about the
marriage?”
“Yes.” Lillian wiped her tears and nodded solemnly.
Rita pursed her lips, “How long have you known him? Do you know him well? Do you want to check
him out before you talk about marriage?”
Atherden Wright, the heir of the Wright family in C country.
He was married once, but not long after the marriage his childhood sweetheart wife died in a car
accident and had been single ever since.
Recently, his grandmother's health was getting worse and she was anxious to find a wife for Atherden
to continue the Wright family's legacy, but Atherden was in love with his childhood sweetheart.
The countless women his family found for him were rejected by Atherden but only did not reject Lillian,
who was very much like his last wife.
Atherden’s grandmother saw this and found someone to propose marriage to the Burke family and
promised to help the Burke family through the difficult times as long as Lillian agreed to the marriage.
This was also an important reason why Lillian agreed to this marriage.
But Lillian put these in her heart and did not say anything, she just put on a faint smile, “He was
introduced to me by my eldest uncle, he and his family are good, we secretly get along for some time,
he is good, to me and to my parents.”
Rita knew that it was redundant to say anything else since Lillian had made up her mind.
Since the Burke family checked the situation for Lillian, then she believed that Atherden must be good
in all directions, “Well... You have to be happy.”
“Yes, I will, and you too, you must be happy with Liam.” Lillian didn’t know things happened between
Rita and Liam, she just smiled brightly, with sincere blessings in her eyes.
Lillian smiled so brightly, but Rita felt a slight pain in her heart.
Her happiness had been cut off by her own hands.
She secretly smiled bitterly, but showed nothing on her face, “Let's have a meal before you leave.”
“Good, you call Liam? I have a lot to explain to him.” Lillian agreed immediately.
Rita held back the bitterness in her heart and hooked the pink lips, “He... he is too busy, I'm afraid it is
impossible for him to rush over today, it’s just four of us, okay?”
“What a coincidence.” Lillian looked disappointed but still agreed.
Liam owned a company, after all, it’s normal that he’s busy, plus Rita's emotions were well hidden, so
Lillian didn't even notice anything was wrong and didn't get suspicious.
“What a pity that Liam can’t come. I have a lot things to say to him.” Lillian sighed sorrowfully at the
dinner table.
When Lillian mentioned Liam, Rita’s hand holding the chopsticks gave a jerk.
And this subtle movement was quickly covered up by her, and Lillian did not notice, “Rita, when are you
and he going to remarry? I guess it's soon, right?”
“It should be soon when he finish the project at hand, we should be re-married.”
The smile on Rita's face was bright, but the moment she lowered her head, there was the bitterness in
her eyes that others can not see.
Remarry?
She’s afraid that’s not gonna happen.
Others can't see her forced smile, but Oliver can.
He glanced at Rita who was eating quietly and raised his eyes to the opposite side of Lillian, changing
the subject without leaving a trace, “When is Miss Burke's flight?”
“8:00 p.m.”
“So rush?” Rita looked up suddenly, and her eyes were full of reluctance.
The four eyes met, Lillian's eyes were once again red, in fact, she also felt too rush in her heart.
But Atherden’s grandmother was anxious to give the two a wedding, so... they had to go quickly.
Atherden, who was sitting beside Lillian without speaking, quickly noticed her unhappy emotions.
He reached out and took her small hand in his and said gently, “You can always come back and visit
Miss Brown for a few days in the future if you want.”
Feeling the man's warm palm, Lillian's body steeply tensed.
Although the two have chatted online, today was the first time they met, she was still a little
uncomfortable with his so intimate actions.
But the thought of the two of them would get married soon, she forced herself to suppress the rejection,
and took the initiative to hold the man's large hand, “Okay.”
Feeling her response, Atherden was stunned for a moment, and then an imperceptible light flashed in
his dark eyes.
Although the two were still a little distant, Rita felt reassured when she saw the way Atherden looked at
Lillian.
She didn’t know why, but she just had a very strong intuition that this time Lillian would be happy.
“I heard this place has good dessert, Rita, let's go try some?” Lillian blushed and pulled her hand away
from the man's big hand and looked up to Rita with a pleading gaze.
She didn’t mean to try some dessert.
She was shy and took dessert as an excuse.
Rita laughed, “Okay, let’s go.”
“Good.” Lillian can't tell Rita how happy she was to see Rita say yes to her.
She got up and turned her head to leave the place where her face was on fire.
However, when she was in a hurry to get away from Atherden, she accidentally knocked down the cup
on the table.
And the juice happened to spill a passerby's pants.
Lillian was shocked, her eyes were full of apologies, “Sir, I’m... sorry, I...”
However, when she looked up and saw Michael in front of her, she suddenly turned pale, and
swallowed her words of apology, “!!!”
Michael... Burke?
What's he doing here!
Hearing the familiar voice, Michael also raised his head, and his black eyes fell coldly on Lillian's body.
When he saw Lillian's face, the hatred in his bones came up, so much so that he didn't notice Rita and
the others, reaching out to grab Lillian's neck and gritting his teeth, “So, you came to humiliate yourself
again, right?!”
Seeing this scene, Atherden angrily stood up, raised his hand, and threw a fist over, “Let go of my
wife!”
