Divorce Has Never Felt This Good Chapter 186
Divorce Has Never Felt This Good
Lowell suddenly realized what Rory was getting at and immediately recited, âHow ridiculous that Becky loved you for more than ten years! She must be crazy! She must be crazy to have loved you! Did she do anything wrong? Since junior high school, she...â
Lowell paused before adding, âThatâs what Miss Walker said.â
Jessie had said a lot, but most of those words had been to scold Rory. Lowell had omitted that part after having been at the receiving end of Roryâs warning glare.
He realized why Rory asked him to repeat what Jessie had said.
Jessieâs words had shocked Lowell, too. According to what he knew, Becky and Rory had met on a night five years ago. Rory had done a thorough investigation. Becky hadnât been the one to set the trap for Rory, and she hadnât been waiting for Rory either.
They obviously didnât know each other before that night.
But Jessie had said that Becky had loved Rory for more than ten years.
Rory was shocked to hear it, and so was Lowell.
Jessie hadnât explained herself after having told him something so important.
Lowell had noticed that Rory and Becky didnât have any proper communication after their divorce.
Maybe all Rory wanted to know was if Becky had loved him for so long.
After all, even if a person could live a hundred years, ten years were a huge part of their life to discount easily.
Becky was only twenty-seven years old. If she had loved Rory for so long, she had devoted half her life to Rory.
This was a shocking fact, bordering on unbelievable.
Roryâs expression shifted at Lowellâs words.
He had thought that the story in the comic book had been especially changed to cater to the market. He knew that Becky loved him, but he hadnât expected her to have loved him for so long.
But here was Beckyâs friend, telling him about Beckyâs longstanding love for him.
Rory looked at Lowell in disbelief but soon came to himself and said, âDonât talk to anyone about what Jessie just said. If I hear any discussion about what happened today...â
Roryâs expression was stormy. Lowell knew what Rory meant even before Rory could finish his words since he had worked for Rory for years together.
âOkay, Mr. Casper.â
âGet out!â
Lowell hesitated, looking at Rory, intending to ask if he was still going to get his year-end bonus, but he didnât dare mention it. He noticed that Rory was furious, so he walked out of the office.
The door closed, leaving Rory standing alone in his office.
The office was a mess, the documents that Jessie had thrown everywhere in her anger still littered on the floor.
Roryâs head was a lot messier than the office was.
He opened the drawer, took out a cigarette, and lit it.
How was it even possible that Becky had loved him for more than ten years?
Jessie must have exaggerated the number.
Rory was relieved at this thought.
He stubbed the cigarette in the ashtray before calling Lowell. âAsk someone to clean the office.â
After that, Rory hung up.
He picked his coat up and walked out of the office.
