Divorce Has Never Felt This Good Chapter 210

Jessie knew that Becky would come tonight, but she hadn’t expected her to show up so soon.

Jessie hadn’t slept well since she had said what she shouldn’t have said before Rory.

But what had been done could not be undone. She couldn’t withdraw her words now. She couldn’t go back in time and make sure that Rory and the others didn’t hear her.

Jessie felt guilty when she saw Becky. “You’re here,” she said.

Becky had been friends with Jessie for more than twenty years and knew her well.

She knew from Jessie’s expression that she had caused trouble. “Have you been busy of late?”

Ever since Jessie had shut down her studio, she had become a typical leisurely rich lady.

There was no way she had been busy.

But Jessie felt guilty now and was also afraid that she would say more wrong things. “No, I’m not busy. See! I came here to help Louisa today!”

Becky’s eyebrows shot up and she looked at Jessie, a faint smile playing on her lips. “Tell me. What’s wrong?”

She paused and added, “It’s okay if you don’t tell me. I’ll know about it sooner or later.”

Jessie, who was about to lie, was struck dumb.

They looked at each other for a long moment before Jessie surrendered. “I did a stupid thing two days ago, Becky.”

“Okay,” Becky said, nodding, indicating for Jessie to go on.

“It’s related to you.”

Jessie pursed her lips, tapping her right leg restlessly. She seemed ready to run as she watched Becky’s expression change.

Becky chuckled. “Is it related to the news about me on the Internet two days ago?”

Jessie nodded. “Yes, a little bit.”

Becky clicked her tongue and said, “Tell me. What is it? Leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist.”

Jessie didn’t reply at first. But she couldn’t stand Becky’s gaze anymore. She had to tell Becky the truth. “Well, I was very angry when I saw what had happened on the Internet that day, so I went to seek justice on your behalf.”

“Okay?”

“I went to Rory.”

“Did you punch him?”

“I tried but failed.”

Becky looked at her curiously. “Is that all?” she asked.

“That’s all,” Jessie said, nodding repeatedly.

Becky looked at her and smiled wordlessly.

Jessie’s guilt didn’t allow her to squash the actual incident. “Well, there was an episode, but it isn’t important.”

“Isn’t important?”

It was a simple question but Jessie was overwhelmed by it. “It was really not important. Becky, sweetie, can you stop asking?”

If Becky continued to ask, Jessie would have no choice but to tell her the truth.

Becky smiled and looked at the stage. “I had a meal with Rory today.”

Jessie was shocked.

“Rory asked me a very strange question,” Becky continued, smiling faintly at Jessie.

“What was it?”

“What do you think, Jessie?”

There was no way Jessie could lie to Becky. She broke down and answered, “I’m sorry, Becky. I didn’t mean to do that. My head was hot with anger at that point and I scolded him and accidentally told him that you’ve loved him for almost ten years. I swear, I didn’t mean to do it!”

Becky had already guessed that. Rory was not a person who’d make groundless guesses.

His sudden question today told Becky that he must know something other than the truth about the comic book.

Now Becky knew why.
