Divorce Has Never Felt This Good (Becky and Rory) novel Chapter 71

Stevie had come to Bluepond mainly to see his daughter. The inspection wasn’t that important to him.

The talkative Jessie was good at breaking the ice. She chattered away during the meal, keeping the atmosphere at the table light and happy.

At about eight o’clock, Becky, along with Stevie and Jessie, walked out of the private room arm in arm.

At the same time, the door to the private room next to theirs swung open; Denise and Babette walked out.

When Babette saw Becky, her expression fell, but she soon collected herself. She smiled at Becky and said leisurely, “It’s been a while, Becky.”

Becky glanced at her indifferently. “Truly. I honestly thought I’d never have to see you again in my life.”

At the time, gossip about the Casper family had spread like wildfire all over Courtbush. The day after Elmore’s birthday party, Babette was sent abroad. Becky had thought that Rory would make Babette stay abroad for a few years to lay low before taking her back.

But it had only been half a year and she was back. Rory must’ve loved Babette and couldn’t bear to be away from her.

Denise wrinkled her nose in disdain and spat, “What bullshit are you talking about, Becky?”

Becky glanced at Denise and said nonchalantly, “What? I was just being honest.”

“You—!”

Babette didn’t want to quarrel with Becky in public, so she quickly pulled Denise back. “Enough.”

Denise always liked Babette, so she held back her anger and hissed, “For my sister-in-law’s sake, I’ll let you go this time.”

Jessie rolled her eyes. “Who’re you referring to? Your oldest brother’s wife or your other brother’s?”

Babette’s fake smile stiffened at Jessie’s words. Denise, on the other hand, demanded angrily, “Does it matter? Anyway, you will never be my sister-in-law, Becky!”

“Who cares?” Jessie retorted.
