Divorce Has Never Felt This Good (Becky and Rory) novel Chapter 197

Denise ended the call but didn’t have the strength to change her clothes.

Elmore ordered her to wear a nice and fancy dress for dinner with Becky today. So she wore a very ladylike dress.

Since Elmore asked her to change her clothes, it meant that he was going to punish her, maybe even whip her.

As far as Denise could remember, Elmore had been this angry three times in total. The first time was when Leon wanted to divorce Jenifer and marry a woman of ill repute. The second time was the night when they thought Babette had a miscarriage because of Becky.

There was a downpour the last time Becky knelt as a punishment. She knelt there the whole night. If she hadn’t left the next day, Elmore would have continued to punish her.

After Leon was punished, he could barely walk and his body was drenched in blood. Even though he wasn’t injured seriously, it was still an extremely painful punishment.

At that time, Denise was only eight years old. She followed Jenifer to check up on Leon and remembered how she saw him sobbing.

The sight of it scared her.

Denise wanted to stall for some time till Jenifer came home, but Elmore wasn’t going to let her go that easily. Carl waited for five minutes and figured that she had no plans on coming out. With a sigh, he knocked on her door. “It’s been seven minutes. If you don’t come out of the room, we’ll be late. You should know that your grandpa won’t show you mercy regardless if your mother is there.”

Denise froze for a few seconds. She realized that there was no point in stalling the inevitable. She then propped herself up and held the door. “Carl, I’m just finishing up!”

She wiped away her tears and ran to the closet to change her clothes.

Carl was right. Her grandfather was so furious that he was quiet the whole ride back. Now that he sent Carl over to monitor her, her tardiness would send him into a fit of rage.

Even though she was scared, she knew that there was no escaping the punishment tonight. All she could do was hope that Jenifer got back in time to plead for her so that Elmore would show her mercy.
