Divorce Has Never Felt This Good Chapter 161
Divorce Has Never Felt This Good
Devin drove his car over. Becky zipped up the umbrella and hopped in his car. The carâs warm air encircled her whole body, bringing a modicum of relief.
âItâs drizzling outside, so how about a hotpot?â
After a little pause, Becky agreed and nodded. âWell, up to you.â
Her reasoning was that she didnât have a say since she wasnât the carâs owner or driver.
Every time, the places Devin picked had the ideal atmosphere and delicious cuisine.
Becky had been staying in the city for quite some time, but she had never been to this place before.
Not long after they took a seat, Becky got a call from Jessie.
Becky looked at Devin and apologized, âPlease excuse me. I have to answer this call.â
In the quiet corner beside the semi-opened window was a pot filled with beautiful orchids. The air carried the sweet fragrance of the orchids, and Becky could smell them as she stood by the window. Becky couldnât help but admire Devin for finding such a nice place.
âWhat?â Becky asked.
âHave you not gotten over that cold, Becky?â
Becky realized Jessie had something to say. âIf you donât tell me what you want in the next three seconds, Iâll have to hang up.â
âHey, wait! Actually, Becky, there is something I really need your assistance with. After dinner, would you mind joining me at ONE?â
Becky felt helpless. âYou want me to go to a bar when Iâm still recovering?â
âPlease, just bring yourself here. Thereâs no need to do anything else.â
âDid you lose another bet?â Becky asked with a raised eyebrow.
Jessie enjoyed playing dice games immensely, although she would always lose. She wasnât much of a gambler, but she enjoyed placing bets with others about certain challenges.
And this time, the bet must have something to do with Becky.
Jessie cracked an uneasy grin. âWhy donât you just come on over? Please?â
âOkay, fine.â
After Becky finished her call, she lowered her eyes to the orchids in front of her.
They smelt great.
The hotpot was healthy and nutritious. The broth was tasteless, but the meat was tender. When doused in a secret sauce, the meat tasted good.
âI have to go to ONE,â said Becky.
âLet me drive you there.â
Becky easily accepted his offer. In any case, it was pouring outside and she didnât have a car, so getting there wasnât exactly simple.
She had no idea what Jessie wanted her to go to ONE for. Louisa would get into an argument with Jessie if she found out she had gone to a competing bar.
When Becky reached ONE, it was just eight oâclock in the evening. There were not many people in the bar. As soon as Becky walked in, she scowled because the music was too loud.
Sitting at the booth, Jessie caught a glimpse of Becky. She waved and yelled, âBecky, look over here! Come here!â
As she looked at Devin, Becky told him, âSo Devin, time to say goodbye.â
As his eyes met hers, Devin said, âMaybe we can stick together for a while longer.â
After a brief pause, Becky remarked with a bright grin, âDonât you want to chat up with some girl?â
Devin leaned closer to her ear, saying, âMy sole goal now is you.â
Even above the roar of the music, Becky was able to hear every word of Devinâs remarks.
She made no comment as she approached Jessie silently.
Jessie smiled at Devin. âWhat a coincidence, Devin!â
Devin smiled casually and said, âThatâs not a coincidence. I came here with Becky.â
Jessieâs lips parted to form another sentence, but Becky cut her off. âAnyway, Iâm here.â
At that moment, Jessie realized why she had asked Becky to come over. âHold on, Becky!â
She got up and left quickly. However, she soon returned, a man in tow.
It was Aiken.
âSince Becky is here, I no longer owe you. Ask her what you want to ask already.â
Aiken cracked a grin. âHello, Becky!â
Becky glared at him. âItâs been a while. Iâve been wondering what has you so intrigued by me.â
Aiken gave a click of his tongue and said, âItâs not a big deal. I just want to ask something. Are you the famous cartoonist a few years ago named Royi?â
