Divorce Has Never Felt This Good (Becky and Rory) novel Chapter 3

The rain got heavier while Becky’s heart grew colder.

She didn’t know how long she had knelt outside. She only knew that when the rain stopped, the sky was still pitch black.

The two servants had fallen asleep. In fact, Becky could’ve seized this as an opportunity to leave, but she wasn’t reconciled.

She simply didn’t believe that Rory could really be so cruel.

But sometimes, even she had to admit that she was being too naive.

At the break of dawn, Rory finally came.

Having knelt all night, Becky’s back was slumped.

As Rory approached, she stared at him blearily and pinched herself to wake up. “Are you calm yet?”

If he was calm, he should be willing to listen to her now.

Rory looked at the woman in front of him. Becky was drenched from the previous night’s rainstorm, and her almond-shaped eyes looked weary, but they couldn’t conceal her determination.

He was a little put off by her stubborn gaze. “Are you willing to admit your mistake now?”

Becky was stunned and her eyes widened in disbelief. She suddenly realized that her kneeling in the cold all night was a big joke.

She had knelt all night to prove a point. Her point couldn’t just be erased like this.

“I didn’t push Babette into the water. She jumped into the pool by herself.”

As she spoke, she slowly got on her feet, which felt both pain and numbness. When she was finally able to stand, she locked eyes with him and continued, “But I know you don’t believe me. Let’s divorce, Rory.”

Rory had expected to hear Becky’s apology, but instead of admitting to her mistake, she declared that she wanted to divorce him.

Without giving him a chance to respond, Becky turned around and started to walk away. Her steps were slow and pained because her knees were swollen after a whole night of kneeling. Worse yet, the rains had worsened her fever, and she felt hot and cold at the same time. Every step she took was harder than the last, but she still kept her back straight.

Soon, Becky made it back to her room. She gritted her teeth

and texted Jessie Walker, her best friend. After hitting send, she quickly packed up her few belongings.
