Divorce Has Never Felt This Good (Becky and Rory) novel Chapter 4

By the time Becky woke up again, it was already seven o’clock in the morning of the following day. She had been sleeping too much yesterday, so this morning, her whole body felt weak.

Just then, Jessie came back with breakfast. Seeing that Becky was awake, she ran to her bedside and asked worriedly, “How are you feeling? Any better?”

Becky nodded and smiled slightly. “Much better.”

“I brought your favorite food. Freshen up first. We’ll leave after breakfast. The weather in Mauritius is perfect. My friend wants to take me there. Let’s all go together.”

“Where’s my phone?”

As soon as Becky woke up, she groped around the bed for her phone but couldn’t find it. Jessie must’ve taken it.

Jessie pursed her lips and asked “Why?”

“The news must be all over the Internet by now, right?” Becky asked.

Becky knew Jessie all too well. Becky had left the Casper family yesterday, and yet Jessie didn’t ask what happened nor did she even mention the Casper family. Becky knew that what happened must’ve spread on the Internet.

“There’s no need to care about what people say. They just followed the story blindly and drew their own conclusions before figuring out the truth!” Jessie averted her gaze guiltily.

Becky took the phone and smiled wryly. “In that case, what are you worried about?”

After a slight pause, she added, “Besides, I have been used to it over the years.”

Thinking about how Becky had spent three whole years with the Casper family, Jessie was so angry that her face turned purple. “They’re a family of fucking idiots! If you hadn’t stopped me, I would’ve sworn at them!”

Becky didn’t answer. She was busy reading the news on her phone. The trending topic was the news that she had pushed Babette into the swimming pool on the birthday party.

People all cursed Becky and supported Babette. They all thought that Becky was a shameless woman who had married into the Casper family by devious means. The Internet had painted Becky as a vicious, resentful woman.

It seemed that Becky received nothing but rebukes and abuses after she and Rory got married.

Smiling wryly, Becky excused herself. “I’m going to freshen up.”

Jessie looked at her worriedly. “Becky, are you okay?”
