Chapter 292 I Don’t Deserve That
Upon hearing Becky’s words, Rory was shocked, his mouth agape. He peered into the pair of disdainful eyes staring back at him with no light or tendemess. The pain was too much. It was as if he was stabbed right into hisheart. He uttered, “No.” “Oh? What do you want to talk about, then?” Becky snapped.Rory then shifted his gaze to Becky’s left hand, her ring finger, tobe specific. Right after they got divorced, there used to be a mark of the ring, which faded away with time, Almost a year had gone by, after all. A heavy feeling washed over Rory. “I just want to say sorry toyou.” He then raised his head, studying the woman with him. Becky smiled, “No. I don’t deserve that.” She pulled out her phone after it vibrated several times in herbag. It was Jessie flooding her inbox. Without checking them, she excused herself impatiently. “If you don’t have anything else tosay, Il be taking my leave.” “Don’t you want to know who drugged you that night?” Becky shook her head. “Even you can’t find out. I don’t think I can.”After the incident, Becky had someone investigate but failed tofind a trace of whoever did that to her. She had just graduated college back then. Her pretty face was no reason to subject her to such treatment on that occasion. She once thought maybe a rich man fell in love with her and resorted to using a dirty trick to get her. She crossed it out sincethe men who tried to talk to her that night were all decent guys. Besides, everyone at that party came for business. No one had a motive to drug her, given that she didn’t upset anyone there.
The most acceptable case for Becky was that it was an unluckynight where she might have taken someone else’s drink bymistake. Four years had passed, and Becky didn’t want to bring upanything about it to Rory. Her sarcastic remark painted a grim expression on Rory. Takingin the chilling aura from Becky, he decided not to push herfurther. Instead, he offered, “Let me drive you back.”. “No, thanks. I’ve called a designated driver. The driver will behere any minute now.” Becky refused. “Rory, we’re divorced. Ibelieve that should have been clear to you by now. It was just anaccident. I found the person who drugged me, and you too. Asfor how you’re going to deal with Betsy, it’s your business.”Becky meant every word, still disgusted by the two nights thatshe was drugged. “Becky!” Rory called out after her. Becky stopped, but she didn’t turn around.. What she said to Rory was not a lie because she did have adesignated driver on the way.. “You don’t have any feelings for me now, do you?” Rory asked. It was rare for Becky to be stunned. She didn’t expect a man ascold and ruthless as Rory would ask such a question. With that, Becky veered herself and sneered, glaring at him.”We’re divorced. What don’t you get about that?”. They were within arm’s reach, so near yet so far.. Even under the dim light, Rory could see the contempt in her eyes.
