Sweet Divorce

Chapter 72 The Apology

At eight o'clock, in the box of the S. Restaurant.

"Nora, it's eight o'clock. Why hasn't Liam come yet? Are you sure he will come?" Yolanda darted a look at her watch and watched Nora anxiously.

Nora was fixing her make up to the mirror and said, "Wait patiently. Maybe there is a traffic jam on the road."

"Nora, Liam is so clever. Can he believe our explanation about that things?" Yolanda nervously kept grabbing her hands.

“If...”

Nora coldly closed the make-up mirror and stared at Yolanda, "There's no if!"

"Oh, don't be angry, Nora. I'm just not so confident." See Nora was angry, Yolanda quickly explained.

Nora drew back her angry face, picked up the perfume and gently sprayed it on her wrist, then slowly rubbed it to her neck. She said, "Don't panic, you just follow my instructions, and I'll fix everything else."

"Even if he doesn't believe it, I have my secret weapon."

Yolanda felt better when she heard this.

At this time, here came a massage in Nora’s phone.

And it was from Liam.

When Nora saw the massage which said that Liam was arrived, she was excited and said, “Mom, dad, he is arrived!”

While informing her parents, she quickly straightened up her coat and pinned her hair behind her ears.

After she finished, she waited gracefully in the direction of the door.

She was waiting for that handsome man.

Here came a sound of footstep and it stopped right outside the door.

Norasmiled. He was coming!

She stood up and opened the door. “Liam!”

However, seeing the person who was standing outside the door, her smile went stiffed.

Rita?

Where was Liam?

Nora looked behind Rita, but she only saw the empty corridor.

What was happening?

Was he not coming?

Although she was so confused, she didn’t dare to be impolite to Rita.

She smiled sweetly and call her name as greeting, “Rita.”

"Miss Nash, is room 608 your reservation?" Rita pointed to the room number, asked in puzzle.

“Yes.”

Rita knitted her brows hearing her answer.

Nora’s reservation?

Then why Liam asked her to come?

Was he helping the Nash family to ask her out, and he wanted to get things done by a dinner?

Because it was Liam who asked her to come here, and because of the relationship between Liam and the Nash family, she couldn't help thinking of that.

Suddenly, Rita looked ghastly.

"I'm sorry, I may be in the wrong room." She nodded politely to Nora, and turned around to leave.

“That’s the room.” Liam came here and said in a low voice.

Looking at him, Rita felt very uncomfortable. Sure enough, he was helping them! She stopped for a while and continued to walk towards the elevator.

She couldn’t be here!

Just as she passed by him, her arm was suddenly seized by a big hand. And she was forced to stay where she was.

She looked up at the man and said with anger, “Let go of me!”

“Them want to apologize.” Liam explained gently, but Rita was so angry. She said, “Liam, I don’t want to say it again. Let go!”

Why did she have to forgive them if them apologized?

She had a right to refuse!

She pushed Liam but was seized more firmly by him.

“They are waiting.” He grabbed her to the box.

While being forced to follow behind him, Rita felt heartbroken. She was wondering why he couldn’t let her keep the last dignity.

She gritted her teeth and said, “Let go!”

“Liam!”

She tried to pull back her arm but failed. Her eyes and arm were gradually turned red.

At last, she was forced to sit on the seat in the box.

She felt like somebody was tearing her heart sitting here so that her face was turning pale.

She wondered whether Liam was in love with Joey so much that he wanted to help them even if he knew her family was evil.

She began to sneer with so much hatred.

Since Liam compelled her to do such a thing, Rita decided to make them embarrassed!

Looking at the Nash family, she suddenly clenched her hands in the place that others couldn't see, and deep in her eyes was the determination to ruin all of them.

“Liam, now this is...?” Looking at Rita, Nora felt so confused and asked Liam.

Not only Nora, all the Nash family was in puzzle.

Liam raised his brows slightly and said, "You want to apologize. And actually, you own an apology to the biggest victim, right?"

Nora was astonished about what she heard. She looked at Rita and then watched Liam.

How come they needed to apologize to Rita?

Nora was disgusted with the things happening and kept clenched her fists.

Before she came back from abroad, she heard some gossips that Liam had changed his attitude towards Rita. She didn’t believe it at that time, but now she had to.

Nora was guessing that he must treat her well out of guilty.

“Isn’t it?”

When she was absent-minded, here came Liam’s voice.

Nora looked up immediately and saw his cold eyes.

She read what he meant from his eyes at once.

He wanted the Nash family explained all of things to Rita!

When she realized these, she clenched her fists more tightly so that her fingernail all was pinched into the flesh.

She looked at Rita with her eyes full of jealousy.

"Liam, when did we say we're going to apologize to her! What we clearly said is... "Before she replied, Yolanda quickly denied.

Nora frowned and stopped her, "Mom!"

“Nora?” Yolanda was confused.

"Mom, what happened in that year was really should blame on us. Naturally, we have to make apology to Rita."

Yolanda was shocked, “What?”

Looking at Nora, Yolanda doubted of what she has heard.

"Mom, it was that you and dad were wrong. You not only hurt Rita, but also caused the death of my sister!" Nora said with her eyes full of tears, "Mom, don't be so stubborn! Give them an apology then let things over! Do you want to cause more problems?"

Yolanda’s face was turning blue.

Seeing Yolanda was in silence, Nora held her arm, got close to her and whisper, "Mom, why don't you apologize!"

Yolanda was not happy and snorted, "Nora, I asked you to come back to help. Is that how you helped? You don't think it's humiliating enough that I was beaten by that girl last time. So, you are helping an outsider, right? " Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Mom, if you can't bear it, you'll ruin my plans!"

“I don’t want to bear this!”

Seeing that Yolanda refused to apologize, Rita, who had been sitting here and didn't speak, gave a sneer and said, "It seems that you don't want to apologize. Then don't bother!"

When finishing her words, she was about to leave.

That was fine to her. She didn’t their apology anyway.

After Rita left her seat, Nora could felt that Liam was getting more and more gloomy on his face which made her nervous.

She suddenly pulled Yolanda and whispered eagerly, "Mom, when I become Liam's wife, I'll make all this up to you."

Her word made Yolanda started hesitating.

Nora narrowed her eyes and pinched Yolanda’s arm.

“Ouch!”

Before Yolanda could react, she was pushed towards Rita by Nora.

"Rita, don't go. My mom has something to tell you."

Nora gave Yolanda an instruction by winking. Yolanda hesitated for a few seconds, and then reluctantly said, "I'm sorry."

It was so fast that Rita couldn't hear it clearly without listening carefully.

Rita stopped, turned to looked at Yolanda who was unwilling to apologize, and said, "Mrs. Nash, what do you say? It's too fast. I can't hear you. Can you say it again?"

Yolanda looked ghastly, but because Nora had been egging her on, she could only bear it.

“I’m sorry.”

This time, Yolanda said it clearly.

Rita heard it clearly but she didn’t feel better at all. She said, “I can’t accept such an insincere apology!”

"Rita, in what method can we apologize in sincere?" Nora asked gently.

She raised her eyebrows, "Kneel down and apologize to me!"

"Kneel down on your knees? Rita, don't go so far! " Yolanda was angry when she heard what Rita said.

And Nora’s face turned ghastly, either.

Nora was controlling her temper and asked gently, “Rita, is it too far?”

"Is it?" Rita sneered and said, "When Joey died, you forced me to kneel in front of her ashes day and night to apologize. Was that too far?"

At that time, they tortured her without ant mercy!

She glanced at Yolanda and Nora. She said, "Miss Nash, don't you remember that? Do you want me to help you remember?"

She said it without anger but smile, which made her in a threatening manner.

Every Nash went pale on their face.

At the same time, Liam narrowed his eyes frostily which couldn’t be seen through.

When the atmosphere went tense, suddenly he got up and left his seat.

Everyone, including Rita, was stunned and looked at him.

Watching he getting closer to her, Rita felt in discomfort.

She thought that he was about to protect the Nash family.

She looked indifferent, waiting for his acting.

He put his hand on her shoulder, glanced at the Nash family and said, "So, this is your attitude of apology, right?"

Rita was shocked that he was not plan to help the Nash family.

She turned to looked at him with confuse.

And the Nash family was all in astonishment.

Nora was the first one who saw the truth. Looking at Liam's cold face, she felt her heart full of sorrow.

He was protecting Rita!

The jealousy in her heart spread all over her body like poison.

She couldn't let Liam stay with Rita any longer; Otherwise this disable woman would cause a disaster sooner or later.

The next second, she pulled Yolanda to kneel down toward Rita.
