Divorce Has Never Felt This Good Chapter 91
Divorce Has Never Felt This Good
Becky didnât want to play the waiting game, but Louisa and Jessie continued to persuade her. In the end, she gave in. After a hurried meal, she went to the restaurant lobby to wait.
This was the first time that Becky was doing such a stupid thing.
Louisa said something to the receptionist. A while later, the receptionist served them hot coffee and desserts as they waited.
âThe service here is really good,â Jessie said, impressed.
Becky looked at Louisa and ignoring Jessieâs comment, said, âIâll only wait for fifteen minutes.â
If Devin didnât appear in fifteen minutes, Becky would take it as a sign that fate didnât want her to help Louisa.
Louisaâs expression shifted at the condition Becky placed before her. âFifteen minutes? Isnât that too short a time?â
âMaybe I should leave now then?â Becky smiled at her.
Louisa hurriedly took her hand and gripped it tightly. âI think fifteen minutes are enough.â
Becky was amused. She didnât know when Louisa had become so obsessed with making money. When in school, Louisaâs goal in life had been to marry a rich man from a family of equal social status and live as a housewife for a lifetime.
Becky hadnât expected her to change so much in just a few years.
Since they were sitting idly, Becky couldnât help but ask, âLouisa, is everything alright? Why are you suddenly so desperate to make money?â
Louisa choked on the coffee she had just taken. Jessie answered quickly for her, âWhatâs wrong with that? She has seen what youâve suffered in your failed marriage. She feels that it is unrealistic to get married just to become a housewife. Others are all unreliable. Making money and retiring early is the best choice.â
Louisa, who had just calmed down, felt embarrassed. âWell, itâs one of the reasons...â
Actually, it was the main reason behind her wanting to make money. But she didnât want to upset Becky.
Beckyâs eyebrows shot up as she looked between Louisa and Jessie. âIt looks like you have learned a lot from my failed marriage.â
Jessie patted Beckyâs shoulder. âOf course. Iâve finally understood that cheap love is worthless.â
As Beckyâs best friend, she didnât mince her words.
âStop it, Jessie. I havenât kicked someoneâs ass in a long time.â
Upon hearing that, Jessie smiled awkwardly. âForget what I said.â
As they chatted, the elevator doors opened with a ding. Devin walked out, looking sharp in a suit, followed closely by his secretary. At first glance, he looked like he belonged in the elite, the cream of society. His cold expression, coupled with his equally cold and dangerous-looking eyes, gave him a cool, sexy edge.
Becky looked up and met Devinâs beautiful eyes.
His eyes fell on her face the moment he emerged from the elevator as if he already knew that she was there.
Becky had no time to prepare herself. Before she could react, Jessie waved at him and called out in greeting, âMr. Stanley!â
Becky had barely come to her senses when Devin walked over to them and said, âWhat a coincidence!â He nodded as he acknowledged each of them.
âGuess what? Becky is here especially for you,â Jessie said gleefully, a silly smile on her face. âShe has something to tell you.
Maybe Louisa and I should leave.â
Louisa stood up and winked at Becky before turning and leaving.
Beckyâs eyes widened.
