She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3: The Person He Liked Came Back

Cheyenne stood on the side of the road watching as Kelvin drove away in his black luxury car.

Now divorced from him meant she no longer qualified for rides in his car anymore.

They came out together today to go through a divorce, and in the end, he was even unwilling to give her a ride.

A man could be so ruthless towards a woman he didn't love.

As she stood there, a white car slowly pulled up in front of her. The window rolled down, revealing a young and handsome face. The man looked to be in his early twenties and was dressed in a white double-breasted suit.

His hair was dyed golden blonde, which contrasted with his fair skin and made many women feel inferior.

This man's name was Reece Gray, Cheyenne's childhood friend and classmate. They used to be enemies when they were in elementary school but became "best friends" as they grew older.

On the night that Reece found out Cheyenne was going to marry Kelvin, he drank two cases of beer and had a hangover all night long to celebrate the fact that Cheyenne was finally married off.

"Cheyenne, get in the car," Reece smiled at her with his row of pearly white teeth shining brightly under the light.

Cheyenne sat down on the passenger seat, feeling dizzy. She couldn't believe she had divorced Kelvin so easily.

Even though she forced herself to smile, her heart still hurt like hell.

"Don't feel bad. Now you're single. There are plenty of men out there waiting for you to conquer. By then, you'll be a playgirl and I'll be a playboy." He joked around with her, trying to make light of the divorce, though it seemed unbelievable for him to hear that.

Cheyenne rolled her eyes at him immediately upon hearing his comment. "If you can't comfort me properly, then just shut up! And don't even think about becoming a playboy. You didn't forget how you ran away when a girl confessed her love to you, did you?"

Reece blushed instantly upon being reminded by Cheyenne about what happened back then. "You're really something! That happened a long time ago. Why do you keep bringing it up?"

Back when Reece was in elementary school, a girl who was in junior high had a crush on him. She was popular and always had a group of people following her around. Reece thought they were going to beat him up, so he ran to Cheyenne for help.

It was not surprising that he was scared. He had always been delicate-looking and timid, so many people mistook him for a girl and bullied him. It was an instinctive fear.

"Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's talk about when you were in high school and the girl of the neighboring school gave you a love letter..."

"Cheyenne, how come your sharp tongue doesn't work on Kelvin? Look at you... he has tortured you into being such a coward."

Reece brought up Kelvin and Cheyenne's voice suddenly trailed off. Her eyes lost their sparkle as she forced out a bitter smile.

"I am pretty cowardly," she admitted.

Seeing his friend like this made Reece regret bringing up Kelvin; he wanted to slap himself across the face for doing it.

Cheyenne used to be fearless but ever since she met Kelvin it seemed like she'd been put under some kind of spell - losing herself while trying to please him.

Not wanting to see her this way any longer, Reece quickly changed the subject.

"C'mon now! There aren't many three-legged monsters in this world, but there are plenty of two-legged men! If you really can't find a good man, let me marry you. I don't mind you being married once."

His words earned him a hit from Cheyenne on the forehead. "Just drive properly!"

"Okay. Where to next?"
