That was the first thing Rory saw when he came out.
He stood there, glancing at the two people in front of him. When his eyes landed on the necklace around Devin’s neck, he felt as though his heart had been stabbed by a knife.
He remembered that simple necklace. One time, he went back to his room and saw Becky taking off her bracelet. It was then that he realized it was a man’s necklace.
Rory had a good memory. In the three years that Becky had been married to him, she had never taken that article of jewelry off.
Although he knew it was a men’s necklace, he never thought it was a big deal that Becky was wearing it.
After all, he didn’t love Becky. He didn’t give a damn about who she was wearing it for.
But now that he saw the necklace around Devin’s neck, he felt a strong urge to rip it off.
Devin’s voice brought him back to his senses. “Anything we can help you with, Mr. Casper?”
As Devin spoke, there was a certain light in his eyes, as though he was showing off his trophy to Rory.
With a straight face, Rory walked past Devin and glanced at Becky, who was standing behind Devin. “You’re good at playing these games.”
And to think he had actually worried that she’d be fooled by Devin. How foolish!
Becky’s good mood was completely ruined. The bitter and unresolved feelings at the bottom of her heart resurfaced, causing her to throw caution to the wind. She took a step forward and reached out to hold Devin’s hand. Then she looked into Rory’s eyes and smiled slightly. “I did not expect such a compliment from you, but thank you.”
Rory’s expression instantly darkened.
Devin lowered his head and studied Becky’s expression. Squeezing her hand a little, he said lightly, “Don’t worry about him. He’s irrelevant.”
