Sweet Divorce

Chapter 222 Start Your Acting

Jonathan was particularly shocked.

Did he hear it wrong?

Did Liam just ask him to buy sweets for Rita?

“I’m not going.”

Jonathan rejected angrily.

But then he met Liam’s cold eyes, “What?”

Jonathan was one of the most outstanding members in the shady staff of the Wilson family. Though he was just in his early twenties, he was really fierce outside.

His hands were covered with blood and was well respected by other people.

But he was really afraid of Liam.

“Fine. I’ll go.”

Seeing Jonathan’s aggrieved face, Rita can’t help laughing.

Jonathan rolled his eyes at her.

What the hell was she laughing about!

Not only did she pick on him, she was teasing him!

Sensing that Jonathan’s patience was growing thin, Rita forced back her smiles.

After all, Jonathan was a tough guy and can’t be messed with.

What if he just got mad and decided to seek his revenge...

So, she needed to mind her steps.

“Jonathan, you don’t have to force yourself. You can choose not going.”

Rita pretended to be considerate.

But the more she was pretending to be all sweet, the angrier was Jonathan. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“I’m really not...”

Jonathan muttered these three words stiffly.

Though she can clearly sense that Jonathan was reluctant, Rita just acted innocent.

“What are you waiting for then?”

“You... Don’t push your luck!”

Jonathan’s face darkened and looked fierce.

Rita’s head instantly went numb and froze.

But she straightened her back at the next second and said, “Well, can’t you just do this for me since I can save Jacob?”

Hearing Rita’s words, Jonathan looked disdainful, “You? Save Jacob? You wish.”

Emma held an important role in the Wilson’s family and can’t even persuade Liam.

Was Rita really thinking that she can pull something that Emma’s can’t off?

How foolish and stupid was she...

Though Liam spoiled her, he had limits.

“So you don’t believe me?” Rita raised her eyebrows because of Jonathan’s doubt.

“Of course I don’t believe you.”

“If I can save Jacob from being punished, you have to buy the rice paste for me with your own money. What about that?”

Seeing that Jonathan was silent, Rita further pushed, “Why are you all quiet? Are you afraid to take this bet?”

“Me? I’m certainly not afraid. Okay then, let’s up the ante. How about one million yuan?” He surly had confidence in Liam.

“No problem.” Rita smiled.

Though Liam didn’t hear Jonathan and Rita’s murmuring, Emma heard them clearly.

Emma really thought that they were fighting like little kids.

How childish...

While she was despising them inside, Rita landed her clear eyes on her, “Do you want to bet this too? Me or Jonathan?”

“Jonathan.” Emma answered.

Rita didn’t expect that Emma would join their bet, so she paused a second hearing Emma’s answer.

Well, Emma really wasn’t that hard to approach as she looked like.

“What are you looking at? Start your acting. I’m really busy.”

Emma urged cold-facedly.

Rita hurriedly recollected her thought and turned to Liam.

She sat on his laps and handed him a love letter.

“Here, the love letter that I promised you.”

Love letter?

Was she trying to please Liam just with that letter?

How naive...

The last thing that Liam would like was certificates and love letters.

He was bombarded with these things while in school.

But what Jonathan didn’t know was that Liam’s heart immediately melting just seeing the love-shaped letter.

It was just that Liam was really good at hiding his emotions, so they didn’t notice his mood change.

Liam took the letter indifferently and put it in his pocket.

“Honey, aren’t you going to look at it?”

Rita’s eyes blinked and was obviously sad because Liam didn’t open the letter.

Liam seemed to have sensed something and opened the letter.

He immediately started smiling as soon as he saw the words.

Rita instantly knew that Liam loved her words.

As expected, he just wanted to hear her to say “I love you.”

She immediately jumped at the opportunity and said, “Well, aren’t you doing to award me since I poured my heart into this letter?”

Liam tilted his head and kissed Rita on the lips, “Thank you, baby.”

Jonathan really loathed Rita’s behavior.

Emma’s face changed and pretended she hadn’t seen a thing.

But Rita wasn’t satisfied with just one kiss, “Well, I’ve hurt my fingers to write this letter? All I get is just one kiss?”

“What do you want?”

“Well... give me a minute.” Rita acted to be serious and thought for a while, “Jacob is punished because of me. How about that you spare him?”

She had finally came to the point.

Jonathan and Emma’s eyes both landed on Liam hearing Rita’s words.

Jonathan smiled when he saw Liam’s frowned face.

“Emma, just like what I told you. This woman is making a fool of herself. There is no way that she can seduce Liam. Liam is just playing with her. I support you to marry Liam just like everyone else on this family. You are the only Mrs. Wilson in my eyes.”

Hearing Jonathan’s whisper, Emma’s eyes got complicated.

“Don’t say that. There is no use to guess on that matter.”

The important thing was that who Liam wanted to marry.

All those people’s support was useless if Liam didn’t want to marry her.

“It’s just a matter of time that Liam would lose all his interest on that woman and start liking you.”

‘I’m surly going to help Liam fall in love with Emma.’ Jonathan thought inside.

Rita and Liam certainly didn’t hear Jonathan and Emma’s murmuring.

Rita directly kissed Liam when he didn’t respond to her, “Honey?”

Jonathan was even more disdainful and more certain that he would win when he saw that Rita was throwing herself at Liam.

But at the very next second, Liam said. “It’s up to you, baby.”

Jonathan froze and looked at Liam unbelievably.

Was this the strict man that he knew before?

Was something wrong with him?

Was he just bought by a love letter and a kiss?

Emma was equally in shock.

She grew up with Liam and had always regarded him as a scrupulous man.

He had never swayed his decision even for Joey.

But now...

He just easily changed his mind because of Rita’s love letter and kiss.

After staring at Liam’s chiseled face, Emma landed her eyes on Rita.

She disdained to compete with Rita before, because to her, Rita was a clown and hardly a threat.

But now...

She finally had a sense of crisis.

She wouldn’t have any opportunity left if she didn’t start doing something now.
