Divorce Has Never Felt This Good Chapter 46
Divorce Has Never Felt This Good
As the tow truck pulled to a stop, Talia approached Becky and said, âMiss Ramos, the tow truckâs here. You can go back with Miss Walker.â
Becky didnât want to waste her breath with Devin, so she said, âOkay.â
She gestured at Jessie and then walked towards Taliaâs car.
Devin stopped her. âIf you take your assistantâs car, what will she drive on the way back? Itâs so late. Itâs not safe for a woman to take a taxi at this hour.â
As much as Becky hated to admit it, Devinâs words made sense.
She paused just as she was about to open the car door. Then, Jessie, who was standing beside her, clicked her tongue and said, âWhat else can we do? Mr. Stanley, are you offering us a ride?â
âItâd be my honor.â
Becky glanced at Talia. She knew that she couldnât leave Talia alone like this, so she agreed.
âThank you, Mr. Stanley.â Becky smiled at Devin.
She gave Talia back her car keys and then got in Devinâs car.
Jessie sat in the back seat.
After fastening her seat belt, Becky turned around to look at Jessie.
With a guilty conscience, Jessie avoided her gaze and turned her head to look out of the window.
Raising his eyebrows, Devin smiled and asked, âWhere do you live, Miss Walker?â
Jessie gave him her address. Then Devin revved the engine and the car took off.
Fifteen minutes later, the car stopped in front of Jessieâs place. Jessie got out, leaving Becky and Devin alone in the car.
The next stop was Beckyâs residence. On the way there, they ran into a stop light. When the car stopped, Devin turned his head to look at Becky and commented, âIt seems that you donât like me.â
Becky smiled faintly, keeping her eyes fixed on the road ahead. âI donât like to be misunderstood.â
âWhatâs to be misunderstood?â Devin snorted. âThe fact that Iâm chasing you? Thatâs no misunderstanding. I am chasing you.â
It was a piece of cake for a playboy like Devin to confess his love.
Becky raised her eyebrows and asked pointedly, âWhat is it that you like about me?â
Instead of answering her, he shot back with his own question. âWhat donât you like about me?â
âYouâre a playboy.â Becky spoke bluntly.
âI wonât try to defend my past actions, but I can promise you that Iâm serious about you.â
Hearing this, Becky couldnât help but turn to look at him. âWhy should I believe you?â
After all, he was known for being a playboy.
She wasnât a naive school girl anymore. How could she take his word for it?
Devin smiled. âI know you donât believe me, but you know what they sayâactions speak louder than words. Iâll prove myself to you, Becky.â
He was quite confident. Becky lowered her head and chuckled. âI suppose Iâm going to have to wait and see.â
No matter what he said to convince her, she wouldnât believe him anyway.
Ever since Devin first laid eyes on her, he had found her beautiful, especially when she smiled. Now as she lowered her head and smiled, his heart almost stopped beating.
âThen just wait, Becky.â
âThe lightâs green now.â
Devinâs eyes lit up as he glanced at her one last time before starting the car. Looking at him, even Becky had to admit that he was really a charming man.
But so what?
Her priority right now was money, not men.
Throughout the rest of the drive, Devin didnât try to strike up a conversation with her.
It was already half past ten when they made it to Beckyâs apartment building.
She unfastened the seat belt and said graciously, âThank you, Mr. Stanley.â
Leaning against his backrest, Devin turned to look at her and asked softly, âCan we have dinner tomorrow?â
As soon as Becky got out of the car, she turned around and looked at him. âI donât know why you like me, but you have to give up. Iâm not interested in starting a relationship right now.â
âWell, can you at least promise me that you wonât shut me out when you are interested?â
Becky raised her eyebrows and smiled. âThen come to me when Iâm interested.â
Then she closed the door and stepped aside. âDrive safely.â
âThen donât forget to tell me when you are interested.â
After saying that, Devin looked at her with a twinkle in his eye and said, âGood night, my future girlfriend.â
Becky was speechless.
Oh, no.
She had made a mistake.
