Divorce Has Never Felt This Good Chapter 36
Divorce Has Never Felt This Good
âBecky, that was awesome!â Jessie exclaimed excitedly.
It took Becky no effort to put Monica and Mara in their place. The cars Becky recommended to them were way more than what they could afford. But they had talked big just now in front of everyone in the store, so not buying one of them would only humiliate them. Jessie guessed they wouldnât be so cheeky with Becky from now on.
In high spirits, Becky suggested brightly, âLetâs have lunch together!â
But since she had a car now, she didnât have to ride in Jessieâs car anymore.
Thinking about how embarrassed Mara and Monica were just now, Jessie was in a good mood, too. âLetâs celebrate you getting a new car. Iâll invite Fred and the others to lunch!â
âSounds good!â
They had been a tightly knit group back in school. Now, they all happened to be in Courtbush, so it was more convenient for them to hang out now.
It was rare for Fred and Vernon to be free, so after lunch, Sara didnât want the gathering to break up just yet. After all, they barely had time to hang out together as adults.
So she suggested that they rent a music studio for fun. The short impromptu performance that night left Jessie pining for more.
Fred glanced at Becky and said, âSounds like a good idea.â
Vernon pumped his fist in the air enthusiastically. âLetâs do it!â
Everyone turned to look at Becky expectantly. She smiled and said meaningfully, âWell, I didnât say no.â
After that, they went to a music studio and played all the songs they had written when they were young.
The sun was shining brightly outside. As Becky drank some water, she watched Jessie play some tunes with Vernon. Such a sight made her grin from ear to ear.
It reminded her of the good old days.
Fred came over and asked curiously, âHey, Becky, are you planning to take over the family business?â
Becky put down the water bottle and said nonchalantly, âYes.â
After all, it was fun to make money.
Fred smiled. âThatâs good.â
There was something about Fredâs words that made Becky feel that he meant something else. âWhatâs the matter?â
âNothing,â Fred said quickly.
Just then, Jessie ran to them, sticking out her lower lip. âLouisa just called and asked me to do her a favor.â
Becky tilted her head to the side and smiled faintly. âWhy are you telling us?â
âOh, come on! You know I canât do it alone!â
Becky rolled her eyes playfully. âWhat does she want?â
âItâs not a big deal. She just said that her barâs open tonight and she wants us to be there for her.â
âBe there for her?â
Becky didnât believe it would be that simple Jessie explained, âShe wants us to perform for her tonight. After all, we were a hit last time in ONE!â
Jessie was born to enjoy the nightlife, and she hadnât played in a long time. Since their impromptu concert, she had been longing for more.
Now that there was a chance, Jessie really wanted to take her bass to the stage. However, she couldnât perform alone.
She had to ask for the othersâ opinions.
After saying that, she looked at Becky expectantly.
Becky had changed a lot, so Jessie wasnât sure whether sheâd be okay with it or not.
For a moment, Jessie was a little nervous. She held her breath in anticipation.
If Becky decided against it, what would she do then?
After all, the day before yesterday, she had sworn to Louisa confidently that they could do it.
Lowering her head, Becky mulled over it for a while. Finally, she said, âWhy are you asking me alone? What about Vernon and Fred?â
âFine by me, Becky,â Vernon replied without missing a beat.
Fred also nodded. âNo problem.â
Becky was speechless.
If she said no, would Louisa cut ties with her?
