Divorce Has Never Felt This Good Chapter 156

In the private room, Becky looked at the food spread out before her and fell silent. She had to admit that Devin was a considerate man.

She hadn’t fully recovered from the cold and as a result, neither had her appetite. She could eat, but didn’t want to.

On their way to the restaurant, Devin hadn’t asked her what she wanted to eat. Instead, he had taken her to Tasty Delights, where he had managed to book a private room, despite the difficulty in getting one. The food he had ordered was light and well-

suited to her current condition.

Becky suddenly understood why none of Devin’s ex-girlfriends had ever said anything bad about him.

He must be really nice to them when they were together.

“What are you thinking about?” Devin asked, taking her empty bowl and adding some more porridge for her to eat.

Becky smiled at him. “Were you this nice to all of your ex-girlfriends?”

Devin returned her smile. “Is it a problem if I was?”

Becky stirred the porridge in her bowl as she said, “I’m just curious.”

Devin bent down, placing a hand on the back of her chair and the other on the table before her, half-circling her in his arms.

“Does this mean you are interested in me now?” he asked, smiling casually.

He was so close that Becky could smell the faint scent of sandalwood on his body, causing her heart to beat faster.

She moved sideways, distancing herself from him. “I’m no longer curious.”

It was true when they said that curiosity killed the cat.

Becky lowered her head and concentrated on eating her porridge.

Devin knew her well enough by now and was used to her silent resistance. He merely smiled and shrugged. He picked up the serving fork and served her some salad. “This is delicious.”

“Thank you.”

Seeing that Devin wasn’t pursuing the topic, Becky glanced at him and heaved a silent sigh of relief.

Devin sat in the well-ventilated private room, causing the breeze to gently waft his sandalwood smell onto her face.

Once Devin had finished eating, he leaned back in his chair and looked at her. “I don’t have an ex.”

Becky’s head snapped up to look at him. She swallowed the food in her mouth and asked jokingly, “Is it because you don’t take your previous relationships seriously?”

Devin clicked his tongue, wanting to explain. But after a while, he smiled helplessly and said, “You will know all about it sooner or later.”

There was tenderness in his beautiful eyes when he looked at her. It managed to render her speechless every single time.

Her heart skipped a beat. Becky put down her spoon, pulled out a tissue, and lowered her head to wipe the corners of her mouth.

The room became very quiet, the only sound being the breeze riffling the willow leaves and wafting in through the half-open French windows.

But Becky’s heart was hardly quiet.

She put down the tissue after a while and said, “I’m done.”

“Okay, time to take you back to the company.”

Becky nodded politely and said, “Thank you.”

Devin looked at her but decided to ignore her sudden decision to distance herself from him. He picked up her bag as he got to his feet. “Let’s go.”

Becky looked at her bag but said nothing.

Not long after they had left the private room, Becky remembered that she had forgotten her phone inside. Devin went back to get it for her.

A gust of wind was blowing in the corridor, so Becky made her way to the yard to wait for Devin.

She heard footsteps and thinking it was Devin, turned around.

She came face to face with Rory.

What an unlucky day this was turning out to be for her!
