When Becky returned to Jessie’s apartment, the latter looked at her and asked excitedly, “How did it go? Are you divorced yet?”
She was anxiously looking forward to their divorce. The whole morning, the fear that Becky might not push through with the divorce kept gnawing at her.
Seeing Jessie like this, Becky couldn’t help but laugh. “Well, I just need to wait for the judge to finalize the divorce.”
Jessie almost burst into tears when she heard that. “Oh, my God! I’m so happy for you! You will soon be a single lady! We have to celebrate. Do you want to go out and have fun tonight?”
Unexpectedly, Becky shook her head. “Nope. I haven’t been home in three years. I miss my family.”
As she spoke, Becky felt a lump forming in her throat.
Three whole years had passed since she last saw her parents.
Now that everything with Rory was over, there was no need for her to stay in Courtbush.
But before leaving, she had to ask Jessie about the so-called “gift” she had prepared for Babette. “It’s time to release the video I sent you.”
After all, Rory asked her to apologize to Babette.
Becky was going to apologize. She was sure that Babette would be stunned with her apology.
Jessie’s eyes immediately lit up. “Finally! I’ve been waiting for your go-signal! I’ve arranged everything already. Just one phone call and the video will become the next Internet sensation!”
Becky nodded with satisfaction. “Great! I’m going to pack up my things. My flight is at three o’clock. How about we have lunch together?”
Hearing this, Jessie realized something. “You’re not coming back?”
“Why should I? My home is in Bluepond.”
Jessie pursed her lips. Ever since Becky figured out that her marriage wasn’t working for her, she had become too decisive and brave. Now, Jessie didn’t want to stay in Courtbush either.
