Divorce Has Never Felt This Good (Becky and Rory) novel Chapter 162

Everyone around Aiken was taken aback by his inquiry. Jessie inquired with bewilderment, “Who is Royi? Since when has Becky become interested in comic books? Are you all right in the head, Aiken? There’s no way Becky can be a cartoonist since she has been terrible at drawing ever since she was a kid.”

However, Aiken ignored Jessie. He merely glanced at Becky and asked again, “Is that you?”

Becky cracked a wry grin and remarked, “Your question is unexpected. However, I am not that person.”

Jessie saw that Aiken was still intent on pressing the issue. With furrowed brows, she remarked, “Now that Becky is here and she answered your question, the bet we have is over.”

Jessie pushed Becky and said, “Well, you haven’t recovered from your cold yet. Go back home and take a rest!”

Still wanting to speak out, Aiken was greeted with a snide glance from Jessie.

Becky glanced at Aiken and said, “If there is nothing urgent, I’ll go back home. Have a pleasant time!”

Then she turned around and went out.

Smiling slightly, Devin observed Aiken. After that, he went after Becky.

Aiken called out to Devin, “Hey, we haven’t had a drink together in a long time, have we? How about—”

“Maybe we can do it some other time.”

Devin waved his hand in rejection and followed Becky out of the bar.

Aiken assumed that Devin was more skillful in chasing girls than Rory.

With his peculiar personality, Rory was probably better off never finding love again.

Rory and Aiken had been friends for thirty years. Rory was like a guy in a perilous game, who couldn’t see clearly the big picture. Aiken believed he couldn’t stand by and watch as his buddy fell into the abyss.

Aiken sighed and reached for his phone to contact Rory. Suddenly, he was tapped on the shoulder.

His fingers trembled and he nearly dropped his phone.

As he looked over, he saw that Jessie was staring at him angrily.
