Liam's face slightly lit up when he saw Carmen coming out of the restaurant. But when she stared at him, and he saw the hostility in her gaze, the bit of sparkle in his eyes faded.“Carmen, let's talk please!” Liam called out when he saw her walking towards her car.However, Carmen didn't stop. Instead, she increased her speed, causing Liam to chase after her. Carmen reached her vehicle, and as she was about to open the door, Liam gently grabbed her wrist and turned her towards him. Carmen scowled at Liam as she opened her right hand, then vigorously hit it against his left cheek.Liam then squeezed his eyes shut as he pressed his lips tightly together to keep himself calm. Then he opened his eyes and gazed at Carmen in shock.“Fine. Do you want to hit me more? Go ahead and do it. But after you are done, let's talk.” Liam softly said.Carmen felt flushed even though it was a windy morning, she was q

Mr. Smith walked into the dining room in his pajamas. He then gazed at his wife and his father-in-law seated at the table before realizing that something was owed.“Where is Carmen?” Roman asked.Mr. Wilson gently laid down his newspaper and focused his attention on his son-in-law. Then he let out a sigh.“What is it?” Roman asked, feeling a bit worried now.“She left early this morning for work.” Mr. Wilson mumbled.His words felt a bit strange to him since he was still in shock about Carmen’s behavior.“Do you think we push her too much? I mean, she missed breakfast, and these are all her favorite dishes.” Mr. Smith mumbled as he took a seat.“Let's hope that she doesn't lose herself in all of this mess.” Mrs. Smith angrily said.She stood up to serve her husband tea and when their eyes met, she could see a bit of concern and remorse in his.“Carm

“According to Rome Sherman, a reliable freelance writer, Mr. Davis, and Mrs. Smith are no longer husband and wife. In the article he released a few seconds ago, he stated that the two willingly decided to end their marriage and the papers were finalized earlier this morning.” A news lady announced on the television. “Mr. Sherman didn't state the reason why Mr. Davis and Mrs. Smith decided to untie the knob, and now it's the question that everyone is asking at this moment. Why did Liam Davis and Carmen Smith decide to call it quits?” A newsman continued.Carmen stared at her watch before her cold gaze fixed on the TV. She listened to the reporter for a moment, then her sight shifted away from the television and focused on her desk.“He must be devastated right now,” Carmen mumbled with a bit of pity in her tone as she stared at Liam's name flashing on her phone screen.She then ignored the call and placed her attention back on the work she was doing on h

The next morning the dinner table was quite peaceful as everyone focused on their breakfast. Carmen took a bite into her beacon before dropping the rest on the plate. Then she gazed up at her parents' faces.“What is it?” Mr. Smith asked when he noticed his daughter staring at him.“I am moving out,” Carmen mumbled.Mrs. Smith immediately started aggressively coughing after choking on the water that she was drinking.“Mother!” Carmen cried.“I am fine.” Mrs. Smith mumbled while gently patting her chest.Mr. Wilson's eyes appeared sad when he looked at his granddaughter, but she already had her mind made up. And even though she felt some pity towards her grandfather, she wasn't planning on changing her plans.“Why, kiddo? This house is yours as much as it's ours.” Mr. Wilson pitifully said.“I know, grandi. But I want to start fresh and feel a bit of independence while doing so.” Carmen softly said.Mr. Wilson gazed at

Carmen lost focus when she heard her office door opened, so she gazed away from the documents on her desk and stared at her secretary.“What's the update?” Carmen mumbled.Chester hesitated for some time because he didn't know if Carmen wanted to hear the report he got and he also didn't want to upset her since he was a bit afraid of her temper.Carmen impatiently stared at him, and when Chester noticed the frustration in her gaze, he realized that he had to say something.“Miss Robert passed the interview.” Chester hastily replied with a bit of sympathy in his voice.“Well, good for her,” Carmen mumbled.Chester abruptly giggling as he stared at his boss in shock. But when he saw that her remark was not a joke, his smile became awkward.“What? But she… I mean you and her… Are you okay with her being here?” Chester mumbled.“Why not? She has a great educa
