Talia understood that Becky’s mind was troubled, so she kept her mouth shut.
Becky said nothing either, silence falling over the car.
She didn’t expect that things would turn out this way.
She had been thinking Babette was the one between her and Rory. It turned out that she was wrong all this time. The realization was like a thorn in Becky’s heart.
Becky was lost in thought when the car stopped. “We are here, Miss Ramos,” Talia called out.
Becky nodded and muttered, “Thank you. Good night.”
Talia saw that Becky looked calm, so she flashed a faint smile and said nothing more.
“Becky.”
Becky heard a familiar voice call her immediately she got out of the car. She shut the door and looked in the direction of the voice.
“Devin?” Becky raised her eyebrows, surprised.
She wasn’t expecting to see him tonight. Devin had not reached out to Becky for a couple of days, so she had assumed that he had given up on her. The sight of him warmed her heart and she smiled.
“It’s a beautiful night. What do you say we go out and enjoy the view of the full moon together?” Devin asked, staring at her with his bright eyes.
For a short while, Becky was lost in his stare, but she quickly looked away. “It’s a windy day today.”
“I’m not in a good mood. Walk with me, please.” Devin clicked his tongue.
Becky’s mood was not very good either. She thought about Devin’s request for a while before asking, “What if I don’t want to?”
“Come on. Get in.” Devin opened the door of his sports car.
Becky laughed as she walked to the car.
Devin ignited the engine when Becky was well seated. As the car sped on, she opened the car window. The gust of wind stung her face.
Soon, the car halted when the traffic lights turned red. Devin took the opportunity to look at her. Becky had been quiet since she got into the car and this got him concerned. “Are you not happy either?”
“Why do you ask?” Becky asked and turned to look at him. “Do you want to comfort me?”
“There is nothing wrong with us comforting each other.”
Becky smiled and asked, “Tell me why you are in a bad mood.”
“I am not happy because I worry that I will never be good enough for the woman of my dreams.”
Hearing his words, Becky couldn’t help laughing. “Have you lost your confidence?”
“A little,” Devin replied with a faint smile.
