Chapter 228: The Move
Rory was shocked and she raised her arm to block her aunt’s hit. But before that, Liam pulled her back. Rory stumbled a couple of steps. Before she had a firm footing, she saw Liam slapping Aunt Theresa hard on her cheek.
Theresa’s face went red, and she almost fell to the ground unable to bear the strength of Liam’s hit. Liam with a grunt rolled his shoulders. "Ha! It’s been a while!" he mumbled and took a step forward making Theresa stumble backward.
Even Rory was shocked to see Liam hitting someone this hard.
"What’s with you people?" Liam scoffed. "Does my wife have a sign on her forehead saying that she is open for anyone to do anything to her?" Gritting his teeth, Liam stepped forward. "I can’t see it, though...You saw it. Now look at her again and see if you can see it still. I have to correct your vision," he rolled up his sleeves.
Theresa stumbled backward. "What did you~"
"Do you see it or not?" Liam shouted.
"No... no... she does not have any sign on her forehead," Theresa in the end decided to answer Liam’s question the way he wanted to.
"Go! Get lost! If I ever see you near our house, I’ll..." Liam gritted his teeth and showed his fisted hand in front of her face.
Theresa stumbled up and ran down the grassy hill as if a rabid dog was chasing her. Rory covered her face and started laughing. She didn’t think Liam would actually hit her aunt.
"Don’t laugh!" Liam flicked her forehead. "Because you are smiling at everyone, they think that you are a nincompoop, and think that they can kick you around like a ball." He was very mad.
"Because I smile?" Rory asked. She still couldn’t stop laughing. "That’s victim-blaming."
"What are you laughing at?" Theresa shouted from down the hill after getting a safe distance from Liam.
