Rita bumped into Duke when she just walked into the party.Eyes met, Duke suddenly started avoiding her staring.Then he just looked at the ground and tried to walk to the door at the fastest speed."Mr. Hall!" Rita suddenly called.Duke's heart skipped a bit, but instead of stopping his footsteps, he pretended that he hadnt heard anything and just continued walking.But his arm was suddenly clutched by a pair of hands at the very next second."Mr. Hall, what are you hurrying for?" Then Rita turned around and looked at him, "Are you trying to flee?"Duke's eyes twitched but didn't say anything."Well, it looks like I'm right." Rita quirked up the corner of her mouth."No!" Duke flung Rita's hand away angrily and retorted, but his eyes still were afraid to meet Rita's.Because he wasn't looking at Rita, he then naturally missed her look which was suggesting that she knew everything."Okay then. Where are you going?""Well, I'm just hungry and want to get some food." Duke said seriously
After the car just drove out of the underground parking, it started drizzling.The air then started getting humid.This kind of humidity was not unusual for normal people, but for Rita, it was like a torture.She felt incredibly itchy on her left foot because of the weather change and wanted to scratch those scars.Because there were other people in the car, she can only force the urge to scratch her feet.But failing to withhold it anymore, she secretly stepped on her left foot using her right foot so she would feel painful rather than itchy.'It was so itchy!" Rita lowered her head and stepped her left foot even harder.But this clumsy trick didn't actually work."What's wrong?" Liam suddenly asked.Pausing her action, Rita shook her head and said, "It's nothing."Hearing these two perfunctory words, Liam's face darkened.He then stooped and held Rita's left foot by force.Liam then naturally saw all the bruises and scars on her ankle and left foot. He then paused all of a sudden a
Liam then wrapped her arbitrarily and closed his cold eyes.Rita was taken aback by his words and she felt that her heart even skipped a beat.What... what did he mean?In the dim-lit bedroom, Rita was lying besideLiam tensely.Rita wanted to push him away and got out of the bed, but he just hugged her even tighter till the point she can't even move nor breathe.She got frightened and started trembling."Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you."Sensing her trembling, Liam said.Hearing his words, Rita suddenly tilted her head and stared at him.Why was he getting weirder?Recently, she even felt that he was not that indifferent.Was this her misconception?It must be!Just an illusion! Nothing else.Rita took a deep breath which let her regain her calmness."Liam."But Liam kept shutting his eyes and didn't respond. Rita suddenly got sad and said in a hoarse voice, "Will you just spare me?"Liam didn't say anything, but Rita can feel that he froze for a second.She knew that he was listen
'Once bitten, twice shy!' This was actually Rita's feeling right now.That unexpected kiss last night really scared her which she was still thinking now.Rita kept avoiding him and was afraid that he might do something crazy.But Liam suddenly stretched out his arm to touch her cheek.Rita immediately dodged and said, "Liam, stop messing with me!""Stop moving!"Liam stopped her poker-facedly and removed the yellow leaves which were stuck between her hairs. Leaves?So... he was just trying to take off some dirty things from her head, but not...Realizing her foolish thought, Rita blushed crimson and said awkwardly, "Thank you.""Yeah."Responding to her thanks, Liam sat up straight.After the car opened, Rita got off the car at the fastest speed.After getting the fresh air, Rita felt less embarrassed than before.She followed Liam into the elevator.Feeling awkward about before, Rota was looking at her foot the whole time in the elevator.In a minute, the elevator stopped at the mid
Isabelle didn't stop when she heard Rita calling her.She didn't want to waste too much time with Rita since she had said all she could say."Miss Anderson, please wait!" At this time, Rita caught up with her and grabbed her arm.Isabelle stopped her steps, obviously was very dissatisfied with her pestering and asked, "What exactly do you want?"By this word, Rita felt Isabelle's impatient of her in an instant.She took a deep breath and quickly got to the point, "Miss Anderson, 'Il pay for your mother's medical expenses, but the premise, but I need you to tell me who sent you set me up in those years!""I don't know what you're talking about." Isabelle was blue in the face and wanted to leave.However, she was grabbed by Rita forcefully again and couldnt leave."You know what I'm saying!"Suddenly, Rita's voice became louder because of anger, which made Isabelle stunned and couldnt move."Miss Anderson, you did frame me no matter how! Have you never felt a bit guilty in your heart?"
"Rita, come to grandma." Amelia waved to Rita again.Rita stepped forwards and greeted her sweetly,"Grandma!""Yes, my good girl."Amelia's face was full of laughter. It seemed that she was being hearty gradually.Amelia was not weak like she supposed to be after fainting with her ruddy face and clear eyes.Rita was sure that Amelia was pretending to be ill.At this time, her hands were grabbed by the warm ones."Rita, I have been strict with myself all my life. I just have high hopes for you and Charlotte since you were kids. Naturally, I was so strict with you, either. Sometimes I even do things unkindly."After a pause, Amelia continued hoarsely, "My kid, I am so sorry that you have been suffered inrecent years."Amelia attributed all her faults to her high expectations, which made Rita couldnt even find a point to refute.Obviously, the older, the wiser.She made all Rita's hardship in Brown family in these years be out of goodwill by a few words.However, there was one thing th
"Rita, is that true?"After Liam said that, Amelia looked at Rita in amazement.And everyone here looked at her as well.Thus, she suddenly became the focus again.She glanced at the people in front of her. With a polite smile, she looked up at the man and asked in whisper, "Liam, what are you doing?When did I say I want to help to deal with this matter?""You don't want to help?""I do! But..." Rita knitted her brows."But you don't want to waste your hard work because of Noah's stupidity?" Liam said what she was thinking before she did, and Rita was surprised and suddenly looked at his face which was on the top of her head.How did he know what exactly she was thinking about?Did she just show her mind so obviously?She had to admit that Liam always could easily see through others.She licked her lips and frowned, "Since you know the reason I don't agree, why do you agree it for me?" What he did just was creating difficulty for her.She felt so uncomfortable for it and struggled, t
Hearing such ambiguous words, Rita immediately looked at the man who held her.Oliver?Why was he here?She tried to stand firmly with so many questions.However, she left a thank and wanted to keep away from him.At the same time, Oliver grabbed her hand and kept her by his side."Why are you acting like a stranger?""We are strangers."Rita frowned.Oliver pursed his mouth and complained, "I’ll feel sad if you say so."Rita felt awkward hearing his nauseating word.Just as she wanted to refute, there was a sudden chill behind her. Almost instantly, she realized that Liam came behind her.Perhaps, in her previous life, she cared too much about him, so that in this life, she could still feel his strong aura rapidly.In the meanwhile, she felt the pain coming from the other hand.And then she was pulled by Liam.Seeing this, Oliver, who was beside Rita, squinted up her eyes and put forth his strength secretly on the hand which was grabbing Rita.For a moment, Rita was pulled by them.B
