Despite wanting to shrug it off, Becky was disgusted by Rory this evening. Even the time Denise spread rumors that Becky was a mistress, Becky was able to laugh it off.
In her eyes, the Casper family meant nothing to her now, and Rory was nothing but her ex-husband.
She didn’t care about who was right or wrong in the past. Since they had nothing to do with each other now, she just wanted to move forward.
She had thought that the time Rory had forced her to kneel was what would disappoint her most, but she was wrong. What Rory had said just now made her even doubt whether he had morals.
Glancing at the flashing neon lights outside the car window, Becky suddenly remembered something. She turned to look at Devin with concern and said, “Didn’t you drink tonight?”
The traffic lights just happened to turn red at that moment. After pulling the car to a stop, Devin turned his head to look at her and smiled. “I just took a sip.”
Becky narrowed her eyes at him. “A sip? Or you didn’t drink at all?”
Instead of answering her question, he chuckled. “Figure it out yourself.”
After a slight pause, Devin asked, “How are you feeling now? Are you still sad?”
“I’m not sad.”
When her eyes fell on the necklace around his neck, Becky was a little distracted.
What happened tonight had caught her off guard.
How could the man from that night four years ago be Devin? And if it was indeed him, then why did she wake up next to Rory the following morning?
Pondering over this, Becky’s head started to ache and she had to rub the spot between her brows. “Was it really you that night four years ago?” she murmured.
Devin leaned closer to her. “Are you disappointed?”
The amorousness in his eyes disappeared. Instead, all Becky could see were two bottomless pools, and her figure was reflected in his pupils. Startled, she wanted to shrink back subconsciously, but he wrapped his hand around her waist firmly.
The traffic lights then turned green, and their car was first in line, but it didn’t budge. The cars behind them kept honking their horns, but Devin ignored them.
Becky had to raise her hand and push him away. “We should get going.”
Devin blinked, turned towards the road, and started driving.
