Aiken pulled Rory and Devin apart. Rory came to his senses after receiving a few punches from Devin. He raised a hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He looked up at Devin, sneering as he said, “You’re not really falling in love with Becky, are you?”
He then paused before adding scornfully, “But you know what? I married her before you. You are a loser! What a pity! You lost this time. Completely.”
“Rory!” Devin roared.
Aiken noticed that Devin was preparing to punch Rory again and reached out a hand to stop him. “Devin, stop. He’s drunk and talking nonsense. Don’t try to argue with a drunk man! Moreover, he ended up drinking so much tonight because he was upset that Becky didn’t talk to him.”
“Aiken, just shut up, will you?”
Rory was indeed drunk. Aiken had found that before he had arrived, Rory had already drunk a bottle of wine by himself. The two of them had drunk two more bottles.
At Rory’s words, Aiken scoffed. “You think I’m not making sense? Anyway, come on. We should leave, or Devin will not let you go!”
Rory had indeed drunk a lot, but he was sober. Aiken’s words seemed to make him very unhappy.
What did his drinking have to do with Becky?
What was more, he was amused by the fact that a playboy like Devin would claim to love Becky so much.
Rory pushed Aiken away. “Get out! Don’t touch me!”
He then turned to look at Devin and said, “What a pity! Becky loves me, not you.”
The cold wind sobered Devin up. He smiled sarcastically at Rory and said, “You are right. So what? You lost her! She is not your wife anymore! She is not Mrs. Casper anymore! And she will be my wife!”
Devin continued to stare at Rory before realizing that there was no need to talk with Rory.
Becky would not forgive Rory no matter what, and Devin didn’t think she was the type to go back to such a man.
Rory being a jerk meant that Devin had a chance to win Becky’s heart.
