Devin caught up with Becky in a few steps. He turned to look at her sideways as he asked with a smile, “Are you feeling better now?”
His voice caused Becky to turn and look at him. A smile took its place on her lips as she said, “Yes, I am.”
Actually, she wasn’t sad; she just couldn’t swallow her anger.
But Rory’s conflicted gaze before she left made her feel great.
Rory and she had been married for three years, but he had never looked her in the eye.
Every time she had a conflict with Denise and Babette, Rory would ask her to apologize without asking about what happened.
And every time he looked at her, his eyes were cold as ice. Just now, however, when he looked at her, his eyes filled with disbelief and anger.
Becky actually felt happy as she thought of it.
She knew she had changed. In the past, she had put up with anything if Rory was even a little nice to her. But now, she felt that she would be happy when he was unhappy.
She was no longer willing to submit to such treatment and insults. But it was possible that there could be love that caused all this hate.
Yet, she had to admit that the pleasure of revenge was great.
Becky couldn’t help but laugh at this thought. She looked at Devin with a smile and said, “Thank you.”
If it weren’t for Devin, she wouldn’t have made such a scene tonight.
Becky’s smile deepened Devin’s own smile.
They walked up to the car before Becky asked, “Devin, would you mind driving me back?”
“With pleasure. But…” He paused before continuing, “Would you be interested in doing something bad with me?”
“What bad thing?”
