Divorce Has Never Felt This Good (Becky and Rory) novel Chapter 36

“Becky, that was awesome!” Jessie exclaimed excitedly.

It took Becky no effort to put Monica and Mara in their place. The cars Becky recommended to them were way more than what they could afford. But they had talked big just now in front of everyone in the store, so not buying one of them would only humiliate them. Jessie guessed they wouldn’t be so cheeky with Becky from now on.

In high spirits, Becky suggested brightly, “Let’s have lunch together!”

But since she had a car now, she didn’t have to ride in Jessie’s car anymore.

Thinking about how embarrassed Mara and Monica were just now, Jessie was in a good mood, too. “Let’s celebrate you getting a new car. I’ll invite Fred and the others to lunch!”

“Sounds good!”

They had been a tightly knit group back in school. Now, they all happened to be in Courtbush, so it was more convenient for them to hang out now.

It was rare for Fred and Vernon to be free, so after lunch, Sara didn’t want the gathering to break up just yet. After all, they barely had time to hang out together as adults.

So she suggested that they rent a music studio for fun. The short impromptu performance that night left Jessie pining for more.

Fred glanced at Becky and said, “Sounds like a good idea.”

Vernon pumped his fist in the air enthusiastically. “Let’s do it!”

Everyone turned to look at Becky expectantly. She smiled and said meaningfully, “Well, I didn’t say no.”

After that, they went to a music studio and played all the songs they had written when they were young.

The sun was shining brightly outside. As Becky drank some water, she watched Jessie play some tunes with Vernon. Such a sight made her grin from ear to ear.

It reminded her of the good old days.

Fred came over and asked curiously, “Hey, Becky, are you planning to take over the family business?”

Becky put down the water bottle and said nonchalantly, “Yes.”

After all, it was fun to make money.

Fred smiled. “That’s good.”

There was something about Fred’s words that made Becky feel that he meant something else. “What’s the matter?”

“Nothing,” Fred said quickly.
