Divorce Has Never Felt This Good

Chapter 158

The moment Becky finished speaking, she left without another word.

Devin looked at Becky’s retreating figure before turning to Rory with a cold stare. “I thought you didn’t have feelings for her. Why would you even care about things that happened in the past?”

Devin scoffed before turning around to chase after Becky.

Becky was walking slowly. She hadn’t expected Rory to mention the sketch that she drew for him in the past. She had made it in secret as a surprise for him on his birthday. She remembered how happy and excited she had been at that time, but now, she only felt cold.

She had never imagined that the person she loved the most would one day stab her in the heart so cruelly.

It wasn’t too painful for her to bear, but she was filled with deep regret.

Right now, her hand that she used to slap Rory was still shaking terribly, and the trembling spread up to her arm down to her whole body.

She refused to let her vulnerability show in front of Rory earlier, so she made sure to maintain her pride and dignity.

In the past three years, she had allowed people to step on her. But she was a different person now, and she would never let anybody see her vulnerable side again.

Since she couldn’t lose face here, she had to leave immediately.

Becky just kept on walking absently, moving one foot after another.

She needed to leave as quickly as possible.

However, in her haste, she suddenly stumbled on her feet.

She hated herself at that moment for not being able to leave while retaining her pride, but then someone suddenly grabbed her by the wrist.

Becky’s mind went blank from shock as she tried to register what was happening.

The next thing she knew, she was in Devin’s arms.

The familiar scent of sandalwood instantly wrapped around her body, and she stared up at him with a flash of emotion in her eyes.

“He’s too heartless,” she said in a slightly shaky voice, gritting her teeth.

Devin stared into her eyes and reached out to hold the back of her head, pressing her against his chest. “With me, you don’t have to worry. I’m soft-hearted. You can check for yourself if you don’t believe me.”

Becky had her ear pressed against Devin’s chest and began to listen to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat.

Along with the scent of sandalwood drifting into her senses, she eventually calmed down.

Since this was an area which was exclusive for VIPs, no other people were allowed to enter.

Devin held Becky in his arms for a while. But then, a bird fell on the tree branch, making a loud, distinctive noise that snapped her out of her trance.

Realizing what she was doing, Becky immediately pushed Devin away and stepped out of his embrace. “Thank you,” she said quietly.

“There’s no need to thank me,” he said, smiling at her softly.

Becky lifted her head to look at him. “Then, shall we have a meal together next time?”

She should be the one inviting Devin to lunch this time, but he was the one who paid for it.

She didn’t suffer any loss.

Becky smiled. “Can you send me back? I have a meeting I need to attend this afternoon.” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Devin nodded. “I can take you home after you get off work if you want.”

Devin’s expression seemed serious with not a hint of amusement or mischief on his face.

Becky only looked at him and didn’t say anything.

She was probably just thinking too much.

The two of them walked out together. Since none of them looked back, they didn’t notice Rory standing there not too far away behind them, staring at their retreating figures with a frosty expression.

Rory just stood there without moving or even saying a word.

Eventually, Devin and Becky’s figures disappeared into the corner, out of his sight.

Having witnessed the show of closeness between the two, Rory felt an unexpected sting in his heart, making him feel strangely uncomfortable.
