He hated noise. So naturally, he hated night clubs.
Aiken was curious to see what kind of performance the unknown Summer Band would give tonight. He also wanted to see how Rory would react when he saw his ex-wife onstage.
At first, when Jessie confidently shouted at the crowd and hyped them up, Aiken sniffed. How could a good-looking girl be so shameless?
What a narcissist!
But when the music started, Aiken swallowed his words.
He used to be a hot-blooded and frivolous teenager. Although he had matured somewhat, that didn’t mean that the dreams of his youth had been forgotten.
The four people onstage were playing unknown songs, but they were captivating. The lead singer’s voice was low and hoarse, like the sound of gravel rolling over. It was perfect for rock and roll.
The bass player, whom Aiken mocked just now, seemed to have changed into another person.
But what shocked him the most was the girl behind the drums—Rory’s ex-wife, Becky.
When Becky was still married to Rory, she always looked so gentle and meek. Now, even though Becky was wearing modest clothing onstage, she beat the drum like a professional. She lit up the atmosphere of the whole night club.
Becky was a good drummer, which made her look inexplicably cool and attractive.
If Aiken had recruited her for his band, they never would’ve disbanded.
Aiken kept his eyes glued to the stage. He didn’t know how long it had been until Rory came.
Looking at Aiken pumping his fist in the air to the music, Rory frowned and asked, “Where’s Becky?”
Aiken pointed at the stage and winked. “The one behind the drums! Did you really divorce such a cool girl?”
