Chapter 118 The Kiss
Chapter 118 The Kiss
Rose’s eyes glinted when she heard what Zoe had said. Then she echoed Zoe, “Very thoughtful. If Liam come to M Country with Rita, the cooperation must have a perfect ending.”
Then she asked Rita again, trying to put pressure on her, “Right, Rita?”
Speaking of that, Rita could not reject directly.
If she continued to find excuses and turn it down, Rose would accuse her of her indifference in front of Amelia. And Rose would describe her as a person who showed no respect for elders and did not care about the Brown family.
She took pains to cultivate the image of a good girl in front of Amelia, which might not be that impressive this time.
Actually, her image was not that important.
If she was right, Rose would definitely suggest Amelia ask Charlotte to come to the M Country in private after Rose reproached her.
Then Charlotte could please Amelia by accomplishing the task secretly so that things would work out for Charlotte even though she left the Brown family.
She must say Rose was very clever. It would work to Rose’s benefit whatever the result was.
When she was thinking about how to respond, Liam suddenly held her hands.
“Rose, Mason, I know it’s inconvenient for you to go to the M Country. But Rita’s left leg was injured in the past. Now her leg will also hurt when it’s cold…” Liam paused and then flicked a cold glare at Rose in front of him.
Rose was strained when she met Liam’s eyes.
Although Liam did not finish his sentence, his eyes had implied that they would suffer the consequences if they did dare to ask Rita to suffer in M Country.
Rose was smart enough to understand what Liam meant.
She hid her fear and pretended to cry, “Well, I’m sorry I forget that. How can I forget her leg was injured? But if she can’t go as well, only you can come to M Country, Noah.”
Saying this, Rose looked at Noah with her red eyes.
Rita clenched her fists under the table after she heard this.
She did not expect that Rose would prey on her dad when she did not fall into Rose’s trap.
She could know their true nature and intention because she was reborn, but her dad did not know that.
As the oldest son of the Brown family, Noah would be ready to handle any problems concerning the Brown Group.
But he might not be safe from the trap if Rose really attempted to scheme against him during this business trip.
However, if she took the job and handled this carefully, she might not put a foot wrong with the help of Liam.
Moreover, if she did make mistakes, Amelia would not censure her too much because she was Liam’s wife.
She weighed up the pros and cons and then raised her head to look at Rose, “Rose, dad still needs to manage the business in the company. Don’t bother him, I’ll go.”
“But your leg…” Rose rejoiced secretly when Rita agreed. But she still pretended to worry about Rita.
Rita gave her a slight smile, “It doesn’t matter. I will try not to move around too much.”
“Then thanks for your help.” Rose took the chance to settle this.
Rita squinted her eyes and managed a smile.
“Don’t talk about the business at the dining table. I don’t like it. You should talk about it after the meal.” Amelia eventually spoke and rolled her eyes at Mason and Rose with discontent.
She took the braised pork to Rita’s plate and spoke to Rita amiably, “You must be hungry. Have your lunch first.”
“Thanks.” Rita gave her a lovely smile.
When Rose saw Rita and Amelia got along with each other, there was something sinister glinting in Rose’ eyes.
But she soon forced a smile again, “Right. Have some more.”
After a meal, Rita felt she had got stiff cheeks because of smiling.
Then she went upstairs when Liam was forced to talk with her family.
Lying on her bed, she closed her eyes and grabbed her stiff cheeks.
The sunlight was streaming through the window. But it was not blinding. Bathed in the sunlight, she was so comfortable that she fell asleep very soon.
It was three p.m. when she woke up.
She stretched and got off the bed. She was walking to the balcony to clear her head when her phone rang.
It was Oliver.
Looking at her screen, Rita hesitated for a second before she answered it. “What’s the matter?”
“Well.” Oliver leaned himself against the car and smiled, “I miss you, my sweetheart. I think that matters.”
Rita was vexed when Oliver flirted with her.
She knew she should not answer his phone.
He could not be serious. He must feel bored, so he would come to her.
“If you are bored, you can count sheep. I’m too busy to be babysitter.” Moreover, he was a grown-up baby.
Hearing her voice, Oliver was upset.
He really missed her.
He was distraught after he had a fight with his father. He missed her badly and really wanted to see her.
But she did not believe him.
Oliver gave a wry smile and looked up at the dark sky. He was carefree again when he spoke to Rita. “I don’t care. I’m not busy to take care of our baby.”
Hearing this, Rita could not help laughing. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
She did not know how to deal with such a carefree man, so she did not stop him.
Meanwhile, Liam was going upstairs.
The door was opened, so Rita did not find that he came in.
He had a mixed feelings when he heard vaguely what they had talked about.
“Oliver, stop that.”
The laughter of Rita was coming from the balcony. It was a gloomy day as if it was about to rain. And Liam was gloomy as well.
Then he walked toward Rita impassively.
He took her phone and hung up it possessively.
Rita was surprised at first, then she frowned with annoyance, “Liam, what right had you to hang up my phone?”
Liam did not reply, but he threw her phone to the trash can.
Rita was dumbfounded, with her eyes dilating.
What was wrong with him?
He had thrown away her phone directly?
She took steps toward the trash can with a scowl, bending down to pick up the phone.
Then her wrist was gripped by Liam. He pulled her closer and then pinned her against the wall.
Rita was enraged when she felt the pain in her back.
She glared at the man, “What’s the problem with you? What are you doing?”
“Don’t fall in love with other.” He said possessively with a sad voice, which jolted Rita. She turned quiet immediately.
Before she had any response, Liam moved closer to her and then kissed her.
