Divorce Has Never Felt This Good Chapter 72
Divorce Has Never Felt This Good
Stevie had never agreed to Becky and Roryâs marriage in the first place. Now, his impression of the Casper family only worsened because of Deniseâs attitude.
As soon as they walked out of the restaurant, Stevie couldnât help but ask irritably, âAre they Roryâs sister and sister-in-law?â
Becky didnât want to talk about the Casper family, but Jessie answered for her. âYes!â
Stevie sneered in disdain. âThat damned family really has no class!â
âExactly!â Jessie echoed enthusiastically.
Thinking of how his daughter had lived with that family for three whole years, Stevie felt more distressed. âBecky...â
âDad, Iâm divorced now. They have nothing to do with me.â
Not allowing Stevie a chance to feel sad, Becky shot Jessie a warning glance and quickly changed the topic. âHow long do you plan on staying?â
Stevie snorted. âIâll go to the office tomorrow to see whatâs going on. After that, Iâm not sure what Iâll do.â
Becky nodded. âThen let me send you back to your hotel for the night. You should get some rest.â
Stevie had a meeting early that morning, and then his flight to Bluepond was more than two hours. He was indeed tired. âOkay.â
Jessie didnât dare to say anything more. After bidding the father-daughter duo goodbye, she left by herself.
Becky pulled her car to a stop in front of Stevieâs hotel. She glanced at her father, who had fallen asleep, and called softly, âDad?â
Hearing Beckyâs voice, Stevie woke up immediately. He rubbed his stiff neck and felt a sharp pain, which made him gasp.
âAching bones acting up again?â
Stevie raised his hand and massaged the sore spot. âNothing new. You can go back and have a rest.â
âIâll walk you upstairs and give you a massage, Dad.â
Time stopped for no one. In the blink of an eye, Stevie had gotten old. For the first time, Becky regretted her stubbornness the past three years.
Stevie had always had a poor neck. When Becky was at home, she gave him a massage from time to time to help him relieve the pain. As time went by, she became more and more skilled at helping him But three years had passed and she had gotten a little rusty. âDad, is that enough?â Becky asked while massaging Stevieâs neck.
âHarder.â
Suddenly, he sighed. âBecky, itâs been a long time since you last gave me a massage.â
Becky felt a lump form in her throat, but she still had a smile plastered on her face. âDidnât Mom ever massage you?â
Stevie didnât say reply, and Becky didnât press him further.
She had always been close to her father. If she hadnât insisted on marrying Rory, she would have always been his considerate and sweet daughter, while he was her rock.
But after Becky married Rory, the two of them stopped talking. When Stevie suddenly mentioned their past, Becky also sighed.
By the time she was done massaging him, it was almost eleven oâclock in the evening.
After getting in the car, Becky didnât drive away immediately. She rolled down the window. The night wind blew against her face, making her cheeks ruddy.
After a while, she raised her hand to cover her teary eyes and drove away.
The following day, just before dawn, Becky was woken up by Jessieâs phone call.
She had gone to bed late last night and was woken up so early in the morning. She snapped crankily, âWhatâs the matter?â
If it was not a big deal, she would beat the crap out of Jessie.
Jessie sensed the impatience in her voice. She smiled awkwardly and said, âBecky, listen. Someoneâs claiming that you have a sugar daddy!â
âWhat?â Becky was taken by surprise.
