Divorce Has Never Felt This Good

Chapter 155

Rory hadn’t lied to Elmore. He did indeed have a lunch appointment.

But he just showed up with Lowell. Then, he left the private room, leaving the whole thing to Lowell.

Tasty Delights had a layout that made sure that every private room was independent. A stone corridor connected these rooms. It was now spring, the trees and the blooming flowers outside the corridor making this entire scene all the more beautiful.

It was a great view, but Rory didn’t have the time to appreciate it.

There was a small pavilion at the side of the corridor, a special smoking area. Rory spotted it, paused for a moment, and walked towards it.

It was a remote space, far away from the corridor. Employees passing by rarely noticed if anyone was inside it.

Ordinary people could not afford the private rooms on the first floor. Only the powerful and rich people had them within reach.

Two waitresses, who were on their breaks, were resting at the end of the corridor. They didn’t notice Rory smoking in the pavilion.

There were only three private rooms in the whole yard, which were used only to receive special guests. Ordinary people couldn’t get in. These two waitresses leaned against the wall and gossiped with each other.

“Well… Did you see that? Wasn’t that Devin and Becky? The day before yesterday, the paparazzi snapped a photo of Devin carrying Becky in his arms at the hospital. People are guessing that they are now together.”

“I rechecked before leaving. It was really Becky and Devin! They are a good-looking pair, honestly. I think they deserve each other. It’s a good thing if they are together. There has been a lot of news of late on the Internet about Rory and his true love. Raina! He only married Becky to get rid of the other women his family was choosing for him. When Raina returned, he divorced Becky. I didn’t like Becky at first, but she seems to have changed into a wholly different person after the divorce. She’s so beautiful and cool. Have you seen the video of her playing the drums? God! I almost fell in love with her!”

“I have seen that video! Anyway, they look perfect together. But I’ve heard that Devin and Rory are deadly enemies. If Becky does get together with Devin, things could get interesting.”

The yard was empty. The two waitresses’ voices were at a low, steady pitch, but Rory could hear them clearly from where he was.

The waitresses became more and more excited as they chatted. “I’m very optimistic about this couple!” one of them said.

Rory stood there, the hand holding the cigarette jerking and his eyes darkening. He walked up to the ashtray, put the cigarette out, and walked into the corridor.

“Someone is coming!”

The waitresses were shocked at the sound of the footsteps. Their shock and guilt deepened when they turned around to see that Rory was coming their way. They hurriedly left, pushing the cart before them, their eyes fixed on the ground.

Rory watched them leave, their words coming back to him and filling him with depression and discomfort.

Their words seemed to bring back to him the memory of Devin emerging from the hospital with Becky in his arms.

But when he thought back to that moment, he could clearly remember Becky leaning against Devin’s arms and closing her eyes in a peaceful way that he had never seen before.
