Becky’s blue car soon drove away. Aiken watched until it disappeared from his sight. “How come I never knew Becky was so cool before?”
Jessie, who was about to leave, looked back at him and said matter-of-factly, “Because you were blind before.”
After saying that, Jessie glanced at Rory meaningfully. Before she left, she blew them a raspberry.
She wasn’t as cool and composed as Becky when it came to dealing with Rory.
Jessie shot Aiken one last glance and then got in her car.
She didn’t intend to waste her breath arguing with him.
Aiken wanted to retort but he was choked for words. By the time he regained his composure, Jessie was already in her car.
He had no choice but to swallow his anger. In a huff, he looked at Rory and commented, “Becky didn’t even look at you just now. How does that make you feel?”
Rory sneered coldly. “Get out.”
“I can tell you’re dying from anger and shame,” Aiken continued.
Rory ignored him and walked to his car.
He decided never to go out with Aiken ever again.
Just then, Devin also strode out of the bar.
He smiled at Rory and asked provokingly, “I’ve been meaning to ask you something.”
Aiken knew that Devin was always at odds with Rory, so Devin must’ve come out just to mock him.
“Devin, why do you always have so many questions?” Aiken asked sardonically. “Didn’t you learn anything in school?”
Devin glanced at the smiling Aiken and then proceeded to ask his question. “What’s wrong with you, Rory? Why did you divorce such a catch like Becky?”
Rory’s expression darkened instantly. “I also wanted to ask you something. How could you take a fancy to a woman like Becky?”
