Divorce Has Never Felt This Good (Becky and Rory) novel Chapter 2

“Rory?”

Becky already knew that her supposed husband wouldn’t protect her. But when he pressed his hand on her shoulder, she still felt that he might as well have stabbed her in the back.

She married this man regardless of her family’s objection. She naively reasoned that no matter how cold he was to her, she would gradually move him and win his heart as time passed.

Under the pressure of Rory’s hand, Becky was forced to kneel, which hurt her knees. However, in that moment, the pain in her knees was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.

Becky raised her head to look up at Rory, who was standing next to her. His eyes were sharp and ruthless, devoid of any sympathy towards her, which only pained her further.

She had been too naive.

“Becky, do you know your mistake?”

Hearing Elmore’s voice, Becky looked back at him and straightened her back. “I didn’t push her. I didn’t do anything wrong.”

Before she could finish her sentence, Elmore grabbed a vase and threw it at Becky, missing her by inches.

The vase smashed into countless pieces next to Becky. A stray shard flew straight at her, cutting the back of her hand.

“Impenitent woman! You don’t deserve to kneel in our living room! You have dirtied our home and brought shame on our family! Drag her out and make her kneel outside until she knows she’s in the wrong!”

After saying that, Elmore addressed Rory specifically. “Find someone to keep an eye on her. If she doesn’t admit her mistake, don’t let her get up!”

Elmore stormed off angrily. Glancing warily at Rory, Jenifer Casper, Rory’s mother, walked up to Becky and said, “Becky, get up. Elmore is just being unreasonably angry. Don’t take it to heart.”

The sole person in the Casper family who was kind to Becky was Jenifer.

She was a soft-hearted woman who thought that no matter what Becky did, she was still a member of this family.

Den

ise Casper, Rory’s sister, sneered with disdain. “Mom, Grandpa said that if she doesn’t admit her fault, she can’t stand up. Please don’t get involved in this matter!”

Denise was by no means fond of Becky, unlike her mother. She knew that Jenifer wouldn’t be able to bear seeing Becky in trouble like this, so she took her mother’s arm to take her away.

Jenifer sighed and looked to Rory, who had been silent this whole time. “Rory, what’s on your mind? Becky’s your wife. You have been married for three years. Even if she—”

Rory’s eyes turned icy cold. “I don’t have such a vicious wife!”

His words sent a shiver down Becky’s spine. She knew in that moment that explaining herself would be futile, because her own husband had already made up his mind about her.

After saying that, Rory stood up straight and added coldly, “Behave yourself, Becky.”

Every indifferent word that left his mouth was like a blow to Becky’s heart.

Then, the man walked away. As the sound of his footsteps got softer and softer, Becky felt as though her heart was about to give up.

Two servants appeared all of a sudden. “Mrs. Casper, you have to kneel outside as ordered.”

The two servants exchanged tacit glances and then grabbed either side of Becky. They dragged her out of the living room and forced her to kneel outside.

Becky had never been insulted like this. She raised her head and looked at the two servants defiantly. “How dare you treat me like this?”

But the two servants didn’t take her seriously at all. “Just stay there, Mrs. Casper! Unless you admit your mistake, you have to kneel here the whole night. Save us the trouble and behave yourself.”

Just then, thunder roared in the sky and seconds later, rain poured down relentlessly.

The two servants were stunned for a moment before they reacted. The two quickly ran into the house, leaving Becky kneeling outside alone.
