Chapter 295 Surprise
it was only now that Becky realized Devin had so much authorityto make her do something. She couldn’t stop herself fromdrinking the honeyed water even if she didn’t want to. He was right. She was having a headache right now. Thankfully, she wasn’t an out-of-control drunk She even stillhad all her senses in place. She just felt uncomfortable anddidn’t want to move. After having emptied half the cup of honeyed water, Becky asked, “What are you doing here?” “thought I could pass by and see you.” Devin took the cup from her hand and placed it on the table.”Lwant to go to bed, Devin!” Becky said. The impact of the wine was so strong that Becky didn’t have theenergy to keep talking with Devin. “There’s no problem. Can I stay here for a while?” TEP Becky stood up and was about to go back to her room to changeher clothes. Hearing this, she was alittle confused. Devin looked up at her and smiled. “I haven’t been able to sleepwell for the past two days. But I feel more at peace with youaround, I think a few hours of sleep in your place will help me alot” Becky would have blushed and might refuse if she didn’t havethis terrible headache. But she nodded and said, “All right. I’m not feeling well, so I won’t be playing host. That’s fine. Call me if you need anything. I’m not goinganywhere. Good night!”His smile made Becky think of what he had said that night.”Good night, Devin,” she whispered and then went to her room. If Becky had known that those two glasses of Heaven would havethis effect on her, she would have steered clear of them. Once inher room, she managed to brush her teeth and change herclothes before falling asleep The next day was the weekend and Becky woke up when it wasdawn. She made it a habit not to put her alarm on the weekend. Shewoke up because she was thirsty. After the strong wine she drank last night, she still had a littleheadache and it felt as though her stomach was also upset..
Out of everything, the only thing that really repulsed her was theunpleasant smell of alcohol that hung on her body. She openeda bottle of mineral water that was in the room, drank enough toquench her thirst and then took a much needed shower. She felt a little bit relieved after cleaning up. Her headachewasn’t so strong anymore, and most importantly, that repulsingsmell had gone. It was only after she sat in front of the dressing table that sherecalled what happened last night She got lost in her thoughts for a second, but her hungerbrought back to earth. She tried to ignore it, but after she heard her stomach growltwice, she stood up to go out, deciding to make breakfast. When Becky opened the door, a pleasant and surprising smellmet her nostrils. Was that oatmeal?. She instantly remembered that Devin mentioned he was going tostay for a while last night. She hadn’t really thought of it at that time and just nodded inagreement.. Was he still here? Feeling a little embarrassed by what happened last night, Beckyclosed her eyes tightly for a brief second and then walked to thekitchen.. To her surprise, it was empty. Where was Devin? She sudden spotted a stick-it note that was pressed on the fridge. It looked a lot like Devin’s handwriting.
Curious, she went close to it and read the note in a low voice, “Good morning. I made you some oatmeal. You’ll feel muchbetter after that.” At the end of the note, he signed with his name and then drewan arrowhead with the words, “Turn it over for a surprise.”Becky raised a curious eyebrow, took off the note from the fridgeand looked at what was behind. “Becky, I never want you to belittle yourself. You are a good girl,and you deserve every good thing. Most of all, you deserve mylove for you. I just want to let you know that the love I have for you will never fade.” Becky’s lips trembled slightly with emotion as she finished reading the note.
