Chapter 33: The Reason He Asked For The Divorce
"This road does need a decent fountain," Liam said with a smile.
He was relieved to see her. And if she is talking back, she is feeling better.
"Wouldn’t you prefer me as a fountain so you could piss on me more?" Rory’s voice broke as she spoke. She heard him walking closer. She couldn’t see his face as the headlights were glaring. She sniffed and wiped her face. "It doesn’t matter to you, right? You always do and say whatever you want with me! I’m like a..." she couldn’t speak further.
She placed Ellie on her lap. Ellie is awake now and she cannot cry in front of her. Hearing his sigh, she rolled her eyes. Although she was mad at him, she was greatly relieved he is by her side now. All her fears got washed away and she got relaxed.
"Do you piss on fountains back where you grew up?" Liam sat beside her.
"Hmph!" Rory could only snort. The chill wind ended up in her lungs causing her to shiver. Liam covered her with his jacket. Rory glared at him but she hugged his jacket closer. She was cold.
With a chuckle, Liam observed her. Her entire face looked red. She must have cried a lot. And it is all his fault. He lost his smile.
He blanked out for a while seeing her retreating frame. He has hurt her beyond belief. It was not just him asking her for a divorce and not helping her in raising her baby. It was worse than that. His mistakes are adding up and he is singlehandedly making it seem like he is toxic to her.
Maybe I am toxic...
His thoughts were disturbed by the sound of a phone ring. He had switched off his phone and he looked inside the car. It was then he realized that she had left her phone there.
It was Mrs. Delport calling and he answered. Hearing his voice, Mrs. Delport screamed in joy. When he told her that they are here to meet Rory’s grandmother, Mrs. Delport cried in joy.
After ending the call, he wondered why Rory left the phone. She was very angry when she left and he thought that she won’t even spare a glance at him again. It is hardly likely that she left the phone to give him a chance to follow her.
